THE LURE OF LIPE

How good-it is TO live
How hard il is to diet
Life has so much TO give
or love and earth and sky.
The mountain and the stream,
The blossom and the bird
Are beauties Of the dream
With which my heart is stirred
And home and kin and friend
l cannot turn away.
Why must life's music end
And we go back to clay3
Oh, how long to live
And how l hate to diel
Life has so much 10 give
or love and earth and sky.

DENTAL PREPAREDNESS

What is the most important at
tribute of soldier?
Good feet? No.
Good eyesight? No.
Good brains2 No.
What then? Good teeth.
A soldier may have good feet, good
eyesight, and good brains but IL he
has bad teeth, he can't eat. II he
can't eat he can't march near
enough TO the enemy TO see him and
use his brains TO fight him.
How does a soldier get good teeth ?
BY having good teeth in childhood.
How do children keep good teeth ?
Through being taught by their
mother how 10 keep their teeth
clean and having their teeth looked
after while they are growing. This
makes good teeth for future SOL
diers.
10 would seem then as though the
first patriotic duty of a mother was
to keep her children's teeth in good
condition.
Tt is,

AFTERWHILE

Life will be sweet some happy day
In the unfolding years,
When love shall have its perfect
sway
And there shall be no tears.
| shall forget the faded rose
And dreams that proved untrue,
When that glad morning CLOVIS
And ! awake-with you.
Till then, oh, | shall miss your kiss
And your sweet word and smile,
While await with you the bliss
or that great afterwhile.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAv0R

The meeting Of the Christian En-
deavor OF the Union Church Sunday
night was led by Miss Sarah Esther
Jones and James b. Heird. The topic
was "Manliness and Wamanliness."
Taking the example OF manliness
found in Nehemiah, Mr.. Heird
spoke very forceably on the attri-
butcs OF a real man. His talk was
inspirational and really touched his
hearers. Using Esther as an exam
pie Of true womanliness, Miss Jones
spoke 10 the girls, summing up in a
few words the qualities which make
a true woman, the noblest Of God 5
creatures. Vocal solos by Miss Edith
Frost and Luther Ambrose were
greatly appreciated.

TO THE PRESIDENT

Defender Of thy country's honor
Against the heartless rule OF
might,
Be firm, when foes intrude upon
her,
Till right is recognized as right.
Let not the politicians babble
Or words Of weaklings give thee
pause.
Greatness defies the tickle rabble,
When conscious OF q noble cause.
We love the peace that makes us
brothers
With all our fellows everywhere,
While claiming for ourselves and
others
The justice that is full and fair
But, IL our land should see for duty
It's sons with hostile arms
arrayed,
O may the sword reflect with
beauty
The light OF heaven from its
blade.

Nominating Cardinals.

The ceremony of nominating CARD

not without its picturesque side. The
consistOry of the sacred college meets
in secret-though particulars of the
proceedings are afterwards given to
the preSs-and, following upon a brief
address, the pope names the persons
he wishes to elevate to the purple.
His nomins ion is final. but in accord
ance With the old custom when the
cardinals voted for the election of
their comrades he asks, what is your
desire?" The cardinals then silently
lay down their red silk caps, rise, and
bow. 1t IS the formal assent. and the
new cardinals are declared elected

After the River Salmon,

There is just one way to fish for
river salmon when it is possible; that
is, wading. With waist waders on you
advance into the water at the head Of
the pool and cast your fly over the
deep water below. Your guide will
probably sit on the bank and watch
you, ready to come to your aid with
the gaff at the proper provided
you will take such measures that the
proper time arrives.
For all his presence, you will do
we'll not to get in over the tops of
your waders, particularly in heavy
water. If 1t be so heavy that you can
not negotiate it properly by wading,
you will, of course, have recourse to
Il boat or canoe.
In the country of the pierrot canoe

affair followed out of q pine log-and

called Hooker Park but perhaps there
are others who would not care to con
tribute to it under that name. Hopkins
