THE AuTuMNAL HOPE.

(Theodore c. Williams)
1 Though the autumns dying glory
/ Flames along the lordly hill.
/ Love viii tell no mournful story,
Faith not feel the seasons chill
I Leaves may fall. but all their fading
Steals no life of living tree.
Still, through deeper cells pervading.
Thrills the life we cannot see.
Hush, my heart, thy fancies drearyl
Autumn's sadness is a cheat.
Forests rest when they are weary,
But their winter sleep is sweet.
Buds beneath the branches dreaming,
Roots that slumber in the snow,
Whisper, Death is but seeming,
Lies the only truth we know"
Really Dear Nieees of Nine:
had no idea that having become
elevated CD to mans estate in the
voting privilege would have such an
effect on so many of you. No inter
est in recipes. no domestic problems
to solve or TO present to the column
for solution, no groans over the high
cost of livingi / would have used
the letters now in vogue-H. c. L.,
but We are having so many societies
and cults, that are abbreviated by
initials, that 1t is time some modern
Webster" or other man of letters
or words, published pocket edition
OF dbbreviations such as we used to
commit from the old spoilers. Where
would We land now and where would
the ladies find place for the pockets
in which to keep the pocket edition
handy and within reach?
| saw a statement the other day of
how many pockets a man had in an
average suit of clothes. They must
be convenient for carrying about
campaign literature. / suppose we
will have to carry ours in that indis-
pensable handbag.
And this thought has led US into
another present-day subject-the
campaign. When one contrasts this
United States government, the ex-
tent OF territorial property, the mil
lions of its inhabitants, the wealth of
its cities and its plains, the place ii
proudly claims to fill among the
countries of the world, one cannot
fail TO think that the way the cam
paign is conducted detracts not only
from the dignity and honor of this
great nation, but belittles the highest
ONCE which is in the gift OF the
American people.
No wonder there is less respect for
law and order as the years pass by.
The political leaders can but lose the
respect OF the solid American citi-
Gems when they allow ana approve
the methods adopted and the lam
guage used in carrying on the cam
paign.
We are all glad to know that
