Out of the kindly hand of Time another
year We come to take.
We've lived the old from first to last, we
know its every joy and ache;
We've met its tests and sung its songs.
we've shared its gray skies and its
blue,
And putting by its sbeaf of days, we tura
with hope unto the new.
Whatever was of pride and shame that
marked the old years course must
stand.
Some pages joyously we penned and some
In sorrows trembling hand,
But as we thumb the finished book, we find
some brighter than the restN
And we recall .ney marked the days when
we had risen to our best
Those days We stood by friends in need or
helped another in distress.
Now giisten as the days which seemed to
bring. us close to happiness.
And looking back we can recall no happy
time was ours to know
But II was something of ourselves which We
had given that made it SO.
Out of the generous hand of Time we come
to take another year,
And each of us from day to day must write
upon its pages clear.
God grant that We shall kindlier be, speak
less in blame and more in praise,
And by the spiendor of our lives make this
year Of happy days.

CHAPTER CXXXVII.


Rose Kemp's very real troubles
made my imaginary ones disappear
for a time. When I was tempted to
fret, or to give way to my jealousy
the thought of her, her spoiled life,
would steady me. Then too as Junior
grew older was occupied most of the

calm praise which he might have

I am much obliged to Mr.. Lever
idge. Considering that he knows so
much about such things, it was quite
compliment" We both laughed at
my sarcasm. and nothing more was
said. But long after Everett had left
for the office, I stood at the window,
where had waved goodbye to him,
and wished he would just once forget
to praise so calmly: and love me as
he had Leola.
HE never will. He'll never say
those things to me-" I murmured as

so long ago still wildly in my mind.
1rma Barton was back. We had
given her dinner, and she had re-
turned the compliment. She seemed
very happy, and looked ten years
younger-so Everett said.
We made up a little bridge club,
playing once a week, just US four. As

honor. She never quibbled even when
society women in general would per-
haps have done so. And she was
charming to me.

The Washington Post prints a story
that illustrates the extravaganza of
government operation of the railroads.
How would you like to turn off
railroad switch for the government on
your way to your regular work? The
time consumed is about one second
and the pay is good runs the story.
In discussion of the railroad bill it
developed that the man who does this
gets $500 month. When he worked
for the railway company he blushed at
accepting 500 a month, as he had to
pass the switch anyway on his way to
his regular employment But under
government rules any man who
touches a government switch is an
electrician and must get the regulation
pay. incidentally, he got $4,000 back
pay for his past services. 1t is little
items like this that make railroad en-
ployes so anxious for the government
to retain control-of the roads and since
we are all selfish who can blame
them? But If the rest OF the people
permit it they have none to blame but
themselves. They know who must
pay.

threat made in 1916 that general
strike would be called at a certain
hour on a specified day unless the de-

The four brotherhoods demonstrated
that a rah tie-up is a grave possibility
from which the nation may suffer in

If Colonel Bryan make another try
for the presidency he may be able to
capture the New Jersey delegation but
he can hardly hope for that of Mis-
souri,. which state probably still is
true to Champ Clark. President Will
son owes his present position to Bryan
and gratitude demands that he should
give the Nebraskan a boost. During
the past quarter of a century. when
ever Bryan has not himself received
the Democrat nomination, he has
welded an enormous influence in the
convention. He was not able to pre-
vent the nomination OF Parker but he
won the platform and in that way in
sured the defeat of the candidate at
the polls. His party will do well to
keep an eye on its Warwick.

CUT OFF PIGS SHARP TUSKS
Quite often These Teeth Lacerate
Sow's Teats and She Won't Let
Youngsters Suck.

Pigs are born with four sharp hard
tusks, two above and two below. Take
a pair of nippers-you can find them
at almost any hardware store-and
cut the four sharp tusks off, not too
near the gums. Quite often these
tusks cut the sOw's teats, make them
sore and she will not let the pigs suck.
Then, also, the pigs cut themselves
with these tusks. and sometimes stick
them through their tongue and can-
not suck, and starve. They often
cause sore mouth. Be sure to cut
them off. They are soft and easily
removed. A pair Of sharp scissors
will do. Do not try to pull them out,
but cut them off.
If you see a pig that is getting too
fat, you will know 1t is robbing its
mates. To prevent this. take a sharp
knife and cut Its rooter in two or
three places, deep enough to make It
sore, and it will stop 1t.

cost of producing beef, due to advance

feeders and breeders can seldom hold

NEW WARSURE,
SAYS jim HAM
Former Senator Sees Re
venge Of Germany in
World Realignment.
CBy Universal seryice)

St. Louis, Aug. 29.-James Hamil-
ton Lewis, former United States
Senator. predicted in speech be-
fore the American Bar Association
here yesterday that another world
war wiz be fought within four
years.
This conflict will be in the Pa
cifc," he said. "it will be with a
league of Japan, Russia and Ger
many against the United States.
The revenge of Germany, the VEN
geance of Russia and the Oriental
hatred of Japan will assail the su-
premacy Of the United States to de-
stroy it."
The people of our nation are
blinded to the approach of this ca
lamity and making no proper prep
aration to avoid it.
The signs of today mean that the
next President of the United States
will command this nation through
that war. There is no unity of
patriotism for America as nation"
