Some of US, as We grow old, become oppressed by
the care and Of mature life that we quite
The days of our youth The pains and pleasures of child
hood seem so trivial that fail to realize that childs
sorrows are keen and probably keener than anything
we know in adult life We forget the exquisite joy that
new toy and the papitang pleasures of visit
to town. the ecstatc delight of day in the woods And
we forget too the depth of anguish that came with each
disappointment.

| fancy none of us will yearn
7 fight our battles once again;
Or would unto this world return
To triumph Ger our fellow men,
But we might brave the ways of earth
And live our many trials Ger,
To hear our children's shouts of mirth
And romp with them upon the
floor.
We shall not value glory then
Nor think of wealth as now we do;
Well prize those glorious moments
when
Contentment and delight we knew
And looking back across our years
The merry scenes of home we'll see
Through eyes bedimmed by crystal
tears,
And wish such joys could come
again.

FRANKNESS

Be frank to the world Frankness is the child of hon.
esty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on
every occasion and take it for granted that you mean to
do just what is right If friend asks you a favor YOU
should grant it, if it is reasonable if it is not tell him
plainly why you can not You will wrong him and wrong
yourself by equvoeaton of any kind. Never do wrong
to make friend or keep one the who requires you
to do so is dearly purchased and at sacrifice Deal
kindly and firmly with all and you will find it the
policy which wears the best Above ALL do not appear
to others what you not If you have any fault to
find with anyone, tell him, not Others of what you COM
plain There is no more dangerous experiment than that
of undertaking to do thing to mans face and an
other to his back We should live act and speak out of
DOORS the phrase is and say and do what We are will
ling should be known and read of all men.

purpose of getting an increased bid
from the friends of the brave, hero
ic soldiers of Greene county, who are
interested in seeing a grand, beautiful
monument made and dedicated to
their sacred memory.
Will the enterprise fail for the
want of friends; for the want of
money to pay off this $14,0O0.0O
and to build the monument to make
this a beautiful park? Yes, make it
park worthy of Greene county.
Let it be so ornamented with foun,
talns, lawns, seats, shade and places
for the dear mother of those heroic
dead who lie buried on thousands of
battle fields of the nationwide died
in behalf of home, country, the Flag
and Liberty-to spend an outing tc
the memory of long lost loved ones.
Do you not feel your heart heave
with emotions of loyalty to the flag
and country expand with the glori.
Gus sentiment of liberality, and feel
that you want to contribute to the
promotion of this glorious patriotic
duty?
If you are not for the enterprise
now, get right by pounding your pa
triotism until it comes to life. If
these noble sons of Greene county
were willing to lay down their lives
as a sacrifice for our protection, for
our liberty and for our homes, could
we do less than aid their relatives
and friends with liberal contribu-
lion to pay for this soldiers memorial
park?
If you do not aid in this enterprise
you are not worthy to live under the
benign and protecting folds of the
American Flag.

THE GREATER HAPPINESS.

| reckon when life is done
And we look back across the years
To see the goals which we have won
And count our varying smiles and
tears
The greatest joys that we'll recall
Will not be those of skill or might,
But children romping in the hall
And little games we played at
night.
The big things when our life is
through
Will be the little ones of now;
Well prize those moments in review
When never was troubled brow,
When eyes with love were al aglow
And mother sang her lullabies;
Those restful, happy scenes we know
At night when moon and stars
arise.

BONES BAR LABoR,s PROGRESS.

1886 the eghthour day seemed within the grasp of
labor. The Knights of Labor the one big union Of
its me and the only union of that type that ever touched
the edge of success, powerful that its possibilities
seemed unlimited Its officers had become alarmed at its
amazing growth and temporarily closed the doors to new
members.
Newly formed labor parties were gaining local victories
Public attention was focused upon labor problems. All
things pointed to the dawnins of a new era.
Then came the riots of May l. the Chicago police out,
RACES, and then the bomb Haymarket square Thirty
years have not sufficiently cleared away the confusion to
permit accurate apportonment of the blame for the
events that led to that act for the guilt of its per-
peasion. nor of justice to those who suffered for it.
Some things do clearly emerge from that weller of dis
senson and contradictory evidence The eshhour agla-
ton almost disappeared The Knights of Labor dropped
into vegetatve existence without membership power or
influence great wave of reaction swept over the coun-
try. during which the trust movement developed and private
interests gained almost unbeatable grip upon all re-
sources was than twenty years before labor was
well organized powerful and progressive as it was be-
fore its hopes dynamted by the Haymarkct bomb
This has been the story of every similar act in this or any
other democratic country.
