Advice to One Seeking
Work

If you stop to find out what your wages
will be
And how they will clothe and feed you,
Willie, my son, don't you 60 on the Sea,
For the Sea will never need you.
If you ask for the reason of every command
And argue with people about you,
Willie, my son, don't you go on the Land,
For the Land will be better without
If you stop to consider the work you have
And to boast what your labor is worth,
dear,
Angels may come for you, Willie, my
son,
But you'll never be wanted on Earth,
dear.

A farm hand who had worked every day
in the week from dawn till late at night.
finishing the chores by lantern light, went
to the farmer at the end of the month and
said; 'I'm going to quit. You promised
me steady job of work.
"Well, haven't you got onel'' was the
astonished reply.
"No," said the worker. s'There are
three or four hours every night don't have
anything to do except to fool away my
time by sleeping.''

Hope

Gate that never wholly closes,
Opening yet so often in vain!
Garden full of thorny roses!
Roses fall and thorns remain,
Hayward lamp. with tiickering luster
Shining far or shining near,
Seldom words of truth revealing,
Ever showing words of cheer.
Promise breaker, yet unfailing
Faithless hatterer! comrade true!
Only friend, when traitor proven,
Whom we always trust anew.
Courtier strange, whom triumph frighteth,
Flying far from pleasures eye,
Who by sorrows side alighteth
When all else are passing by.
Siren-singer! ever chanting
Ditties new to burdens old;
Precious stone the sages sought for,
Turning everything to gold!
True philosopher! imparting
Oomrort rich to spirits palned;
Chider of proud triumph's madness,
Pointing to the unattained!
Timid warrior! Doubt, arising,
Scares thee with the slightest breath;
Matchless chief! who fear despising,
Tramples on the darts of death!
Ger the grave, past Times pursuing,
Far thy flashing glory streams,
Too answering, too resplendent,
For child of happy dreams.
Still, life's ftful vigil keeping,
Feed the fame and trim the light;
Hopes the lamp I'll take for sleeping
When wish the world goodnight.

A Garden Colloquy
Said the twilight wind to the rose,
AS he paused in the garden gray:
80 rose of the June you pass.
But l have an endless day.
''In the hush of the autumn night,
In the dark of the autumn dawn,
come to your garden haunt
To find you forever gone.''
Said the rose to the twilight wind,
AS he paused in the garden still:
80 wind of the hills, my day
Is the gift of holy will.
He gives unto each the same,
A measure of Joy and grief;
And yours is the gift of years,
Mine of summer brief.'

Sheep on Eastern Hills.
Rochester Post ExprcssD

At q patriotic sheep meeting in AL
bany the other day a man who is
mana ging a flock of 2 $500 sheep on a
20 years the Berkshire hills will again
be covered with sheep.
This is prophetic of the return of
sheep husbandrN to our eastern hills
and valleys. Reports from all parts
Of New York state indicate that there
is an increasing interest in sheep
everywhere. Many focks have been
started during the year and the local
sheep keepers associations that have
recently come into existence in the
agricultural counties, by securing
maximum prices for the farmer
wool and promoting better care Of
focks and grading of WOOL are tend
ing to eSta blish the industry on a.
more enduring basis than in the old
DAYS when wool was the main pro-
duct of the sheep, and the farmers
invariably rushed into the business on
q rising market and out again on a
falling market.
There is room on the New York
and New ENGLAND hills for millions Of
sheep without interfering seriously
with market milk production. The
chief hindrance to the successful de-
velopm ent of sheep husbandrN is the
proving dog and the sentiment is ripe
in this state for adding amendm ents
to the doc IaN v-,lich will make it eff
fectivc in the protection of sheep

Favor Suffrage.
(BridgeDOrt POSt.)

There was an important meeting of
the Republican National Com mittee
yesterday at Chicago. There were two
significant things about it. For the
first time in its history its gathering
was opened with prayer. and with the
chairman leading! The other remark
a bic thing wa s the presence of women,
two acting AS proxies.
There is no denying that young DIR.
Hays of Indiana is an original and
inspiring Chief Of Staff. SO far victory
has followed his leadership. The cru
Cial test will come in 1920.
One of the important actions of the
Committee was to formally endorse
the Federal Suffrage Amendment in
favor of woman suffrage. This is like
~ to have some effect. too. It needs
but the change Of a single vote to
make possible the passage of the
Amendment by the United states
Senate. the House having already act
ed upon it. And if Congress does pass
it there are easily enough states to
put it through in time for voting this
year.
