No, no. Take it! You don't understand.
Why do you suspect me? Believe me-
believe that want you TO find your greatest
happiness. And bclieve-ah far more
Wtal!-believe that know, better than you,
what happiness means, and the path
theretol
Thus spoke the Old Man TO the Young
Man. his son, who in love had he begot-
ten, and in long care had he tended.
And that thing he offered him, and
pressed upon him, yet which the younger
shrank from taking. was Wisdom.
For the Youth wanted Pleasure, and the
fulfment Of his Ambition, and the pur-
suit of his own Dream, and tho he loved
and priced his father, still feared he that
Age could not realize Youth, and that some
how this Wisdom that was thrust at him
might estop and main JOY.
So the Old Man continued and said:
No, son. am not jealous Of Pleasure,
neither aloof from it, but desire it for you
more than anything in heaven or earth.
Only ] see now that 20 which at your age
was blinded, that thru Wisdom alone
Of obviating JOY. Wisdom promotes, makes
possible JOY, and permanent
What inks me is not the Fun you have,
but the Fun you miss.
You lack So Your Joy is too small and
faulty. II is poor when il might be rich !;
cheap when it might be regal; in brief
spurts and spots, when it might be one long
glad stretch.
do not offer you my gift that you may
be happy after while. and that YOU may
sacrifice your Youth to make Old Age
serene; but that you may get more out
Of your Youth while it lasts; that you

when all the nfe In all your limbs Is glad.
And all the drops your veins wine
And all the pulses music.
This Wisdom offer you would be to you
magic medicine. that makes the heart sing,
And heaven and wind ana sea bear part
In the live reiseranes.
Lacking Wisdom, you stumble, as one
running in the dark. Already you have
doubt and fevers. Why, every hour of
every day might be like strong blast of
music, if you but knew the art of living.
Pleasure? Your Pleasure now is a thing
of tatters. i'll covering against the shrewd
frosts of folly. Take Wisdom. and by it find
The Joy that like garment wraps you round
And laps you and under

And rapture OF sound
OF what use is my Wisdom to me? My
Youth is gone! Come, you take it for your
youths sake.
Take it, oh. take it! To make your food
taste richer. your drink sweeter, your love
livelier and larger, your sleep sounder, your
dreams gladder.
Take it now. OF what advantage is the
knowledge of weapons after one has lost his
arms. the art of painting after ones eyes
are out, or music to the deaf?

Grange Flatly Rejects In
vitation to Conference;
Makes Action Final by
Giving No Explanation
Sought by Compers
Representatives of 100000
Agree Proposal Involves
Peril to Organization

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 15.-
Through their representatives 10000
American farmers and their wives to-
day declined an alliance with union
labor. BY an Overwhelming vote the
National Grange, in annual convention
here, adopted, in reply to an invitation
extended by Samuel Gompers for a
conference in Washington, the follow
ing resolution:
"The National Grange declines your
invitation for conference in Washing
ton December 49,"
The Gompers letter had been referred
to the committee on good Of the order,
and after three days discussion that
body late to-day reported. At once
fervid debate began, one of the leaders
being S. j. Lowell, Of Fredonia, N. Y
Few voices were heard in support of
the inv tation, and these were from
Western members. 1t was brought out
by opponents that there was nothing in
common between the agricultural in
teWsts and organized labor. To attend
the Washington meeting, it was de-
clared, would be tacit admission that
there were mutual interests.
The report as adopted was not the
one submitted by the committee. The
latter was a pleading of the case Of
agriculture as we'll as a refusal Of the
Gompers proffer
Finally two substitutes were offered
The one adopted is given above. The
reason of the substitution was found
in suggestions of several speakers
that the report threw open the doors
to any statement union labor might
wish to make and so offered the begin
ming to an endless argument. 1t was
held that a mere refusal of the in
vitation etfectually closed the case
Opinion on the merits of the two
answers was pretty evenly divided and
when it came to a vote the shorter
form won only by narrow margin
