One day the Lord from his high seat

One day the Lord from his high seat Concluded he had been A little hard on one poor soul
 For his amount of sin, And so to make the error right He called the Devil in. "old boy" said he, "What will you
 take
 For such and such man? feel he's had enough of Hell Since his long term began And I want to get him transferred
 To Heaven if I can."
 A bargain maker, he, He looked upon the Lords big earth, As fair as fair could be, And hoped to make a goodly deal,
 "A piece of land," quote he. "Now this," said he, "can never be A bit of use to me. 'Tis worthless as an old tin can And that is plain to see. Almost as far as eye can reach, There's not living tree" So turning to the Devil then, "Ill make that trade my man. You send the poor soul up to me And here's your piece of land." All said; he laid the Heavenly deed, Within the Devils hand. Now Satan made trip one day, And thinking of his trade IT L,, 4a xx,hnt lrinl
 Of bargain he had made. It took him to that part of earth
 Where Arizona's laid. And so he set about to think What improvement he could make. Meantime the Devil to himself
 Concluded he must take, And develop his bad bargain
 And try to make stake. He said, "Ill plant me there town, Of people, "1ll have few, But I'll make it count by sitting up,
 Inventing viels new. Even if I did get stung, I'll show what l can do. And so he made himself town
 Out in this lonely flat The people went for his new plans
 Like ball right off the bat, And all the time right in their midst
 The laughing devil sat. But the Devil reigned supremely
 And ne'er did authority lack Until the Lord grew sick of his bar
 gain
 And wanted to take it back. For thirty years that error
 Had kept him on the rack. So He proposed to the devil
 That they make another trade "I1l give you back the man have
 And some to boot" He said. The Devil concluded to take it
 And the second deal was made. "For," said the wiley tempter, The state is going dry And l can't make a go of it, No matter how try. And maybe, I'll find some use For that fellow by and by.

Colonel F. S. Breen, editor of the Coconino Sun, has been appointed registrar by the Governor of the state of Arizona. It may be all right, Col onel, but if you go to "slighten' one Coconino Sun-we object. But, it may be that besides being one of the best weeklies in the state it has also one of the best regulated offices-and our objections are null, void, abrogative, over hauled and thrown out of court.

MOTHER
NJ. c. Robbins.

Mother I am thinking OF you
AS the night-winds moan and sough
And the hoart-pangs are so painful,
For I'm longing for you now.
But It's past, my boyhood foIlios,
was young and thoughtloss, too,
And I wandered from my home life
Wandered far away from you.
Mother, was oh so lonely,
And my heart ached every day;
would often leave my comrades,
Turn aside from them and pray.
Well l know lie heard me surely,
For He led me to your side,
And I kissed your face, oh mother.
Had your blessing e'er you died.
You received your boy so kindly,
Gave to him the robe and ring;
Killed the fattod calf and fed him
Notwithstanding all his sin.
I shall not forget the welcome
That was given such as me,
Nothing ever can exceed It
Except one beyond deaths sea.
There know you're waiting,
mother,
Waiting to receive your boy.
The reunion will be gladness
Full OF praise, and life and Joy.
I've been faithful 10 my promise.
I shall surely meet you there,
And together we will praise Him
In that city oh so fair
Yes, tonight my mind is soaring
Towards that home beyond the sky.
There we never can be parted,
We can never. never die
can never wander from you
When within the Jasper gate;
oh. I'll praise His name forever.
That you called me e'er too late.

mon for this occasion, taking for his

Red Cross for 40 sweaters to supply the
men Of the nth bakery company, 18th
cavalry. who have been training at Fort
Ethan Allen but who are expecting to
leave there soon. It has not been the Gus
tom to issue supplies in such large num-
bers from the local branches. A requisition
Is usually made to the supply department
at the headquarters in Boston in case
of this kind. But the fact that the sweat
ers were needed In n hurry, and that the
Burlington branch happened to have them
on hand made the situation somewhat
different. The matter was referred TO Mr..
Howard, the State secretary, who au-
thorized the issuing of the desired sweat
ers upon the written requisition for them
by Colonel Arthur Thayer. the COM
mandant at the Post, which was given.
The matter was at once referred to the
supply headquarters at Boston and 1t Is
expected that the Vermont chapter will
be given credit for these sweaters, the
same as though the goods had been sent
to headquarters and then sent back to
Fort Ethan Allen.

THE PRICE OF MILK.
Local Dealers Differ ns to Whether 1t
Will Go Higher.

About Is members of the Burlington
branch of the New England Milk Pro-
ducers' association held meeting Monday
night at County Agent Dana's office
" Stannard Memorial hall. The pur-
of the gathering was to discuss
ne results of a recent meeting of the
New England Milk Producers associa-
ton, which was held recently in Bos-
ton. A request was made in the Hub
at the associations meetings that all
branches throughout the New England
States send in reports of what they
thought Of the business that was done
there.
When queried as to a probable increase
in the price of milk this winter, one
of the officers gave out the statement
that there was no apparent reason,
so far as he could see, why con-
sumers of the tactical fluid in this city
should be compelled to pay moro than
II cents the present price.
Another member of the association,
interviewed previously, was of the
opinion that milk would be selling for
IA cents a quart in this vicinity in the
near future. This, he explained. was
due to the fact that the farmers were
now compelled to pay in the vicinity
of $50 a ton for grain, and a still higher
figure was plainly visible on the hori-
zon The shortage of farm help was
one mighty factor that entered into
the new price contemplated, also the
quality of the labor that came to work
on the farms. Farmers in some in
stances were compelled to pay as much
as SO a day for inferior help. and in
many instances the men would not stay
at work week; sometimes but a sim
gle day.
