WHEN A CHAP is ALONE.


When chap is alone and can think of
his past
And the future and live with his dreams;
1t is then he builds UP the beauties that
last,
1t is then there is worth in his schemes,
For he wants to be fine in big sort OF
way,
And he wants to be tender and true.
When chap is alone at the end of the day
Life's splendors pass by in review.
1t isn't all money the dreamer can see,
And it isn't all tinsel and fame.
The chap that's alone in the shade of the
tree
Is resting awhile from the game.
He has turned from the heat and the
clamor and strife
To chum for an hour with his soul,
And he's feeding himself on the beauties
of life,
Away from the spur Of goal.
When a chap is alone he is more of man
Than he is in the midst of a throng
Then honor and truth are the threads in
his plan,
And he's too big to stoop to wrong.
His spirit is soaring on wings that are
light,
And he dreams of the good he can do.
When a chap is alone with his thoughts
he's all right,
For then he's man through and
through. Edgar A. Guest.

THE FLAG SALUTE.

THERE are perhaps many in this city
who profess to be patriotic and who
are, but nevertheless there are many
of these and many more who do not know
the flag salute. The one now used follows
Il pledge allegiance to my flag and the
republic for which it stands, one nation
indivisable with liberty and justice for
all"
Learn it now before this copy is de-
stroyed. The next time you are in pub
lie place and the flag salute is given, let
your voice unfalteringly give the salute
Hutchinson Leader.

in mosts cases, can progress with will,
with a good, live commercial club back cf
it.
Is it possible that there are fewer good
boosters in Marshall than in any of these
other little cities surrounding us? cam
not believe it. Do you?
Yours truly,
