Another Pie Baker Record,

The fame Of Mrs. Title Hurst, whose
record as a pie baker was recently
chroniclcd, has spread land, like all
fame, is cOnteste
Mrs. Hurst is in receipt of letter
from another pie baker whose name
is also Hurst and who lives at Knox
vile. Her experience is similar to that
of the local pie baker as the letter
indicates. She says: e
Il was in the restaurant business for
seven years, and did all my own cock
ing and pie baking have baked as
high as il los pies in one day, but kept
no record of them. sIi5
II am now living in west Knoxville
in my little cottage. i have from seven
to twelve boarders and only bake two
pics each day.
1.-THE reason am writing this is be-
cause it seem so funny that we have
had so much the same experience IN
life, and that your name is Title Hurst
and mine. Francis, Hurst. surely
think the Hursts are all good work
ers."

BE THOU A DREAMER.

~ d
Be thou dreamer, though the way be
long,
And sombre shadows cloud the forward
path;
Nor lose the gladstone hope and vision
fair
OF brighter scenes and happier hours to
come,
In each days stir and strain, oh, live
thy best,
Nor spurn the duty that is thine to do
However lowly, it is service still.
Yet dream thou on, and never close thy
sight
To visions of some sweeter, hOlier time
When battle cries shall change the
songs of joy
As la treds vanish that embitter all,
While human hearts in every cline and
creed
Shall realize at last their brotherhood

Times.

1 wish there were some wonderful
place,
Called the Land Of Beginning Again;
Where all our mistakes
And all our heaItaches
And all our poor selfish grief,
Could be dropped, like an old shabby
coat at the door,
And never put on again.
For what had seemed hardest, we'd
know had beer best,
And what had seemed loss would be
gain;
For there isn't sting
That will not take wing
When we've faced it and laughed it
away.
And | think that the laughter is most
what we're after
In the Land Of Beginning Again.
