Too Late.

Chicago Herald: Words that will
live in the history of England, in the
history of the world, long after many
of the other millions of war-born words
have become aims for oblivion, were
spoken lately by David Lloyd George.
Here they are:
''The contract we entered into in
April we carried out. l wonder wheth-
er it will not be too late-the fatal
words in this war. Too late in moving
here, too late in arriving there-too
late in coming to this decision, too late
in starting that enterprise, too late in
preparing.
''The footsteps of the allied forces
have been logged by the mocking spec
ter of Too Late. and unless we quicken
our movements damnation will fall on
the sacred cause for which.so much gall
liant blood has flowed, and beg en-
ployers and workmen not to let Too
Late be inscribed on the portals of
their workshops"
Could inventive genius blazon these
words in letters of living fire where the
members of the American congress
must look upon them by day and dream
of them by night-could they be burn
ed into the brain and engraven upon
the heart Of every American citizen and
generate there an iron resolution that
our country shall not be found "too
late" when days may come that will
try our souls-then all of the blood
shed in Europe will not have been shed
in vain, for some of it will have healed
us of our disease of vain dreamings and
idle chickering's.
Shall it be that within a few years
some American statesman, agonizing
in the effort to save his country from
destruction, will have to speak such
words as these? That is the question
for every American to take home with
him, to think over, to pray over, and to
act upon, putting forth his utmost
power that hever shall across his coun-
try's tombstone be written the fatal
words TOO Late"

The Old Hone P.per.

The Old Home Paper.
From out of the nowhere, through
life's storms and trials on to the pearly
gates, the old home paper shoves you
along. 1t may not get you through the
gates aforesaid, butt Saint Peter read
the paper and falls for its contents, you
get chance.
When DR.. Stork deposits your six
pounds of red and shriveled cussedness
squalling in the home of your parents,
the home paper assumes its helpful,
watchful charge of your destiny by
adding four pounds of weight and MAX
ing you '.fine ten-pound boy.''
When the freckles on your nose, and
hands the size of hams, you have
scratched your way through school by
the skin of your teeth and the cease
lessness of your teachers, by the magic
of its mendacity the home paper makes
you talented young man with
brilliant future" That sloppy essay
that Bro. Bill helped you write and
which you inflict upon a patient and
suffering audience, becomes a work
denoting deep thought and great abil-
ity"
When you reach young manhood and
wander from the old home town, and,
through the influence of your Uncle
George, you get the job of driving the
bus for the Insect Inn at Bingville, the
home paper comes forward and puts
you in "a lucrative position of trust. I"
When you persuade some misguided
female to share your fortune, it is the
home paper that reconciles her to her
lot, until your carelessness lets her get
correct line on you, by making you a
sterling young business man, hand
some and brave"
When you begin to inflict your pro-
geny upon earth it begins again it's
charitable fiction.
When middle age has thinned your
hair and put your waist line in the
lead, the home paper brushes the dand-
ruff off your coat, obscures the tobacco
juice on your shirt front, and makes
you Substantial citizen and a pillar
of the church,
When the poison of politics gets into
your system and you try to break into
the legislature, you are again made
over by this same agency into "a friend
of the people, whose statesmanlike
qualities commend him to the thought
full consideration of the voters"
And finally, when your worthless old
carcass is ready to return to whence it
came, and Satan stands smiling to re-
ceive your sin-singed soul, the home
paper throws its last bluff and tries to
sneak you past the Waterman up above
with the choicest collection Of fairy
tales to which your entire scorched ca
reer has given rise. On the off chance
that you might run across an unscorch.
ed copy, it tries to palliate the miseries
of the hereafter by having your re-
lieved and rejoicing widow PROSTATE
with grief
You dear old home paper. Cheerful.
helpful liar that you are! How COM
monplace most of us would be if it
were not for that great big charitable
heart that guides you.-Tabor Beacon.

TRAVEL TO NORTH BE HEAVY DURING
 TIE COMING YEAR

SEATTLE. Nov 21 - Cal E. Stone. of St. Paul. passenger traffic manager Of the Great Northern sys- tenn. arrived in Seattle yesterday on an early winter pleasure trip. He brings the information that the volume of passenger travel to Alas ka for the season Of 1917 will be the heaviest ever known, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Company agents in the East have been sound ing out the summer prospects, and all report that the movement be- ginning in June will exceed all for mer proportions.
 "The Great Northern" he said. "is now in condition to meet any hardships imposed by 8 rigorous winter. The work of construction of two and a half miles of ava Ianche-proof snow sheds and tunnels in the Cascades will be completed December 10. This will make the line positively safe. and our traffic troubles are over in those attitudes. We expect next season to do the largest passengers business in our history.
