In Dream
By WILLIAM S. BAXTER.
The sunset light
Fades into night
But never will forget
The smile that haunts me yet
Through the future four long years
hope you will remember with tears
Whate'er my rank or station
Whilst receiving my education
Though far away you seem

The look of suffering upon the mir
rored face slowly altered. In its place
came one still sorrowful, but tempered
with sweet indulgence. He stretched
out his hand as if he set it upon a
head at about the height of his shoul-

"Ies, it may meant may mean for
ever" he said in a low, tremulous
voice. Little girl, we must be brave"
And the while his eyes gazed into
the mirror they became expressive of
momentary pleased surprise, as if
even in the arts Of sorrow he found
himself doing better than he knew.
But his SORROW was none the less gen.

Next he took from a drawer two clean

breast pocket, part Of the colored bor-

fully wiped his shoes. Finally he
sawed it back and forth across them
and, with sigh, languidly dropped it
upon the floor, where it remained.

brushed his hair. He went so far this
time as to brush his eyebrows, which
seemed not much altered by the op

The peculiar significance given to
words through their association has
been one OF the factors that has made
the American language expressive.
Slang has put the punch in live wire.
The word touch in the automobile
business has gradually ceased to mean
contact and sound to the slang inter

has remained for one OF the automo-
bile accessory manufacturers to at
tempt to bring back the word touch
TO its normal significance.
In little booklet called the
Friendly Touch" which deals with
the problem of feeling friendly when
a man is burning your electricity, they
emphasize the thought that the gar
agen1an and tire station man should
not feel touchy when a gasoline GUS

travelling, was driven by George NJ.
Price. Of Seattle. and covered the dis
tance Of 157 miles in ; hours and 42
minutes running time and hours and
S minutes elapsed time.
The first record over this course TO
gain attention was scored in 1914. the
trip being made in 6 hours and 10 min
utes. Not long ago a driver covered
the route in hours and 81 minutes.
Mr.. Price made his remarkable rec
ord in spite of the fact that thirty
minutes were lost at the two customs
houses which had to be cleared at the
Canadian border.
