MY PRAYER r
CMritten Octcber. fSSs.l

tWritten October. 1SS6.) Courage and patience. these I ask.
 Dear Lord. in this my latest strait; For hard find my ten years task, Learning to suffer and to wait. Life seems so rich and grand thing, So full of work, for heart and brain, It is a cross that [ can bring
 No help, no offering, but pain. The hard-earned harvest of these years I long to generously share. The lessons learned with bitter tears To teach again with tender care. To smooth the rough and thorny way Where other feet begin to tread: To feed some hungry soul each day
 With sympathy's sustaining bread. So beautiful such pleasures show,
 I long to make them mine; To love and labor and to know
 The joy such living makes divine. But If may not I will only ask
 Courage and patierce4for my fate, And learn, dear .Lord| thy latest task To suffer patiently and wait.

STAFFORD SPRINGS
Warden Leach k not Candidate
 fnr Reelection.


 The citizens caucus for the nomi- nation of orough officers will be held at borough hall tomorrow evening at & o'clock. For several years the tick ct nominated at this caucus, which has had only a very small attendance. has.l cen the only one before the vot- CTS. Often there has been less than ten voters who have selected the off cers for this borough. Evidently the voters as a whole have been satisfied with the borough management, but still there has been some fault finding and in most cases by those who would not take interest enough in the borough to attend the caucus. J. NJ. Leach. who has been warden since 1913, and has also been highway com missioner, both offices which he has filled faithfully and efficiently, for reasons of his own. is not candidate for reelection. It is difficult to get citizens of business ability, who have the time. to act on the borough Loard, and it is important that the caucus to-morrow evening should have a large attendance.
