The lady we greet this evening
Is the daughter of friends of yore,
And the@youpg man whom she captured
Was clerk in country store.
Of course. both were young and hand
some
And they thought, / know not why,
! They must take life's trip together,
At least, they were bound to try.
So, having secured their license,
The minister tied the knot
That twenty-five years of pulling
Hasn't loosened single jot.
If Al's ever been hard to manage
Hattie has never told it, / guess,
They seem to have got along finely
Without making family mess.
We have noticed a little thin spot
On the top of the husbands head.
1t may be that's simply natural,
OF course we haven't said.
They have planned and worked together
And though fire destroyed their home
And the store was laid in ashes,
Yet through it all they've come
With hope for brighter future
And success that shall be won
By patient and honest endeavor,
Before life's work is done. :
Ambition spurs ever onward
Not content with things of old,
New ideas, new inventions to handle,
New schemes and new ways manifold.
They used to do their driving
With Pa Wheelock's 8 old brown mare, s.
But now it's an automobile, ..
They think. ''Now we'll get there"
never have seen that auto
Whether seats are two or three,
But, if know when it's coming,
/ shall surely climb tree
All well! the worlds moving onward,
Old folks may be left behind
To drive the same old horses
And milk the same old kline.
But we'll watch the wheels of progress
And note the course of events,
And if all seems TO make for the better
Then we must be content.
1t is said that life's true measure
Is not the years we spend
But deeds we've done, with purpose
true,
For high and noble ends.
So, dear friends as we bring our greet.
ing,
Dur wish for you shall be
That life in its trUest measure
Shall be meted out to thee.
And we hope, as we look toward the
future,
With its visions of need and of care,
That together you may take up it's
service,
That together its pleasures may share.
Then with years that will long be re.
membered
By your friends in Coventry
Are those on your doorstone now CHS
eled,
The years of A. D. T.

WASHINGTON'S WILL POWER
Kept His Pugnacity In SubJectlon, ou'
Occasionally He Allowed Pas
sion to Have Sway.

It is related Of John Adams that
when Stuart exhibited his portrait OF
General Washington, Mr.. Adams went
to see 1t. After gazing at 1t for sew
eral minutes he exclaimed, THAT'S the
portrait of a man who knew how to
hold his tongue, which this old fool
never did"
The portrait does indicate that the
original could be reticent, but 1t also
shows that he could control himself.
The square, massive jaw, the full,
broad-based nose, and the compressed
lips express pugnacity and passion
such as require a strong will to keep
them In subsection.
Sometimes even Washington allowed
his passion to have sway.
When Glover's Marblehead fisher
men and Morgan's Virginia rifiemen
were engaged In rough and tumble
fight, Washington leaped from MS
horse over the bars Of the camp fence,
dashed among the rioters, seized two
brawny rifiemen by the throat and,
shaking them Mt arms length, subdued
not only them, but the whole band.
1t was the victory due to command
ing strength, presence and manner.
The men saw that they must obey, and
they obeyed.

Appreciation Of Authors.

That Americans are not without ap-
probation of their great authors
after the great authors are dead-was
demonstrated at a sale in New YORK
city, where q collection Of 80 holograph
letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne, with
engraved portraits, brought $4,000 from
w. II. James. In the collection were
letters to Hawthorne and his family
from Emerson, Whittier, Bret Harte,
Browning, Eugene Field and Irving.
Two thousand dollars Is a good,
round price to pay for a few old let
tiers, even If they were written by or
to an author Of the repute Of HaW-
thorne. 1t is easy to imagine what
Hawthorne would have thought on the
subject If he could have foreseen this
transaction when he was writing 1uve-
nile classics like the "Tanglewood
Tales" and "Grandfather's Chair" for
S. G. Goodrich, and receiving in remu-
neration sometimes no more than 500
a volume.

FLYING JOB OF YOUNG MEN
Not Everyone Of Proper Age Is Phys
IcalIy Fitted for Work-Airmen
Face Many Perils,

From leakage Of petrol spray the
pilot may become dizzy, and the e4-
haust gases from the engine-carbon
monoxide and dloxide-may cause
headache, drowsiness and malaise,
says writer in the Lancet, discussing
diseases familiar to airmen. The rare
fed air at great elevations may In
duce the symptoms well known IN
balloonists, and Wells refers to case
of frostbite In an airman VINO had
been exposed to "a degrees of frost at
an elevation of 5000 feet. Psychas-
thenic synptoms-namely, loss of self
confidence and the resulting mental
worry Observation-Disclosures not uncom-
mon. and prove that the victim has
mistaken his sphere of activity.
Flying Is undoubtedly the job of a
young man under thirty years Of age,
and not every young man Is tempera-
mentally or physically fitted to carry
it through. Perfect eyesight Is neces-
sary to insure safe landing, correction
with glasses being not without its
dangers; perfect hearing Is essential
to detect the first indications Of en-
CINE defect, and free movement OF
the Joints Of the lower limbs to con-
troll the steering gear. Fits and ten
dency to faint absolutely deter the
aspirant from the air service. In one
remarkable instance at Haslar an air
man who tainted, with the result that
the airplane dived nose downward
1000 feet into a plowed field, escaped
with such minor injuries that he was
at first extremely loath to give up this
branch of the service.

Irish Enulish.

Many persons seem to see, or to
hear, rather, something to be amused
at in the soft Irish brogue. AS mat
ter Of fact, most Of the words Of the
Irish dialect" are not Irish at all, but
the purest of English-English trife
antiQuated, it Is true, but nevertheless
the real thing. The ears Of Milton,
Dryden, Spencer and Chaucer would
not have been surprised to hear an
Irlshman speak Of "a rough say" or "a
clane shirt" At the court Of good
Queen Bess the cultured Englishman
carefully garnished his conversation
with "goolde" rings and brave
"swoordes" and bored his friends with
accounts Of the smart sayings Of the
"childre" at "hoom." This was the
English originally imported into Ire
land by the cultured Irish, and the
Irish have found 1t good enough to pre-
serve.-Chicago Tribune.

The object of this letter is to ask YOU
and your church to take an active par
in the Food-Pledge Campaign which il
intended to reach every home in ouI
state by October 2Sth.
in discussing this subject, please
make it plain thEt no American family
will be asked to eat less than the usua
three square meals per day. We car
care of what we have and by a change
In our food as suggested IN the fol
lowing:
"Use Less Wheat 5read.-Our allies

wheat. France has no corn mills, anG
meal can not be shipped that distance
The world wheat crop is small-the
corn crop, large. One wheatless mea,
per day is the solution. Corn bread and
buckwheat cakes are good substitutes
That will mean 100000 900 bushels OF
wheat for our soldiers and those who
are standing by them.
"Use Less Sugar.-Each person In
France, England and Italy has less than
ounce Of sugar per day, and their
supply will soon be gone. We are
eating more than 4 ounces per day.
We ought TO be willing to divide up
by using less sugar and candy, and
more molssses, syrup, honey. and other
substitutes. Our allies need 1900 900
