Growing Old

A little more tired at the close of day,
little less anxious to have our way,
A little less anxious to scod and blame,
A little more care for brothers name,
And so we are nearing our journeys end
Where time and eternity meet and blend.
A little less care for bonds of gold,
little more zest for the days of old,
A broader view and saner mind,
And little more love for all mankind;
And so we are faring down the way
That leads to the gates of better day.
little more love for the friends of youth,
A little more zeal for established truth,
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen,
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long loved and dead;
And so going where all must go
To the place the living may never know.
A little more laughter few more tears,
And we shall have told our increasing years,
The book is closed, and the prayers are said,
And we are part of the countless dead.
Thrice happy then, if some soul can say,
i live because he has passed my way

STATE OR PRIVATE BUSINESS
Two Ways of Looking at Necessary Reforestlng of Waste Lands of
 Community.

There surely ought to be a better way of reforesting the waste lands of Michigan than the one just proposed furnishing the young trees free and paying the owner of the land bonus for planting them. If tree planting is paying operation, why should the state pay individuals for going into the business? If 1t is not, if the trees are to be planted for the effect they will have on the climate and for the good they will do to the state at large, bonus for tree planting will not serve the purpose. The owner of the land will have no indueement to bring the trees to maturity if that means an expenditure of money and pains. If the bonus is big enough to tempt him to plant trees, and there is no further inducement to care for them, he will leave them to take their chances. and most of the money will be thrown away. As a matter of fact. tree planting has been proved to be a most lucrative business. but not for the individual, for the man who plants rarely lives to reap the harvest. Con- sequently, few men care to go in for 1t. It is a business that should be under taken by the state, which lives for ever and will itself reap what profits there may be.-Detroit Journal

 The woman of the house agreed to give the tramp food if he would per form the proyefbial task of saving some wood. He retired to the barn. Soon there came the sounds of man hard at work on the wood. Meanwhile the woman prepared a repast for him. In due time the meal was eaten and the tramp expressed his thanks and departed.
 Shortly after the woman went out to the barn and was amazed to find every stick of wood intact. Upon in- quiry she discovered that she had been entertaining unawares strand ed ventriloquist. The man had sim ply gone into the shed and given his imitation of saving wood.

Plant Tubers In Cellar.

Plant dahlia tubers in pots or boxes in the cellar. It gives them start. When the shoots attain five inches take the plants and pot them in sand and garden loam mixed and set the pots in the cold frame. They can be set out when the weather permits. Dahlias which are cut down in July will give new wood for fall blooms that far excel the summer flowers for size asd beauty Dahlias can be grown from seed to bloom the first year by starting the seed in pots and setting the young plants outside later The single varieties are best for that pur- pose.

TREES A TANGIBLE ASSET
Municipality That Desires Growth Cannot Afford to Do Without
 Its Street Ornaments.

Even if town or city cannot realize readily on the money value in it's shade trees. cannot even issue bonds against them, as it might upon it's wa ter supply, they are nevertheless a tangible asset to the municipality. The testimony of the real estate men proves that without the necessity of further argument In a less definite way the value of highway trees has been appreciated in this state for at least one hundred years. in proof of which are the superb old trees still standing along many a village street, and still further evidence of an ever increasing appreciation of their impor tance is found in study of the stat utes enacted from time to time to en courage roadside planting and to pro. teet the trees from willful injury. But every now and again it becomes neces- sary to call public attention to the trees, lest they be forgotten in the hurly-burly of modern life. Our fore fathers were able to stick a tree in the ground and let nature do the rest. Those times have passed. hard lot has fallen to the trees. what with imported bugs" of assorted shapes and sizes to prey their life blood, and with man pushing his ingenious i'm proved pavings and trainings around their feet. and his chafing and burning wires through their tops. Happily those trees that our forbears planted were mostly possessed of good old fashioned New England constitutions, and able to withstand a lot of abuse, but we may not neglect them with i'm punity today. They need friends now as never before.-Allen Chamberlain i'll the Boston Transcript

The cases treated at the Radium in- stitute in London in the year covered by it's latest report numbered TAG, of which 19 were regarded as cured, 50 apparently cured and BPS improved, while 136 showed no effects. The cases included a wide range of skin affections, varying results having been obtained with cancer and tumors and striking success with warts and cer- tain discolorations. Not least notable of the radium effects was that on spring catarrh, of which the most per. sistent cases were cured.

Dominion" of Canada.

We are accustomed to take the ex- pression of the Dominion of Canada for granted; but the original of that somewhat unusual word is known to very few When at length the great scheme of Sir John Macdonald was realized and the nine provinces grouped themselves together into one great confederation, serious diffi- culty was pres ented by the choice of a suitable name. For time almost a deadlock ensued.
 At length one old member of par lament rose from his seat and told his colleagues that he had read in his Bible that very morning the words: His dominion shall be from the one sea to the other" Accord ingly he suggested that Canada should be known as the Dominion, or Gods Land. The suggestion seized upon the hearts and imaginations of those pres ent and it was promptly acted upon
