The twilight gathers here like brood
ing thought,
Haunting each Swallowed dooryard
and it's door.
With gone. forgotten beauty that was
wrought
OF hands and hearts that come this
way no more.
Here an intcnser quiet stills the air
With old remembering of what is
not;
Of silver slippers gone from every
stair.
And silver laughter long and long
forgot.
Deeper and deeper where this dusk is
drifted,
Gathers a sense Of waiting through
the night.
About old doors whose latch is never
And dusty windows vacant of
Deeper and deeper, till the gray turns

And one by one the patient stars

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM (. BARTON
AcRoss THE coNT1NENT


In 1906 Lewis and Clark made their
memorable tour OF exploration. Three
years before the event President JEFF
ferson had asked congress to appro-
pirate $4,000 to cover the expenses of
the undertaking.
There was grave doubt in the minds
of congress whether there was any
thing in all that vast territory worth
that sum to the United States. Eff
teen millions for the Louisiana Pur-
chase seemed an extravagant expendi-
ture
But jefferson got the money and
the exploration was made.
In 1880, Captain Benjamin L E
Bonneville blazed a trail to the Pa
cific. The discovery Of gold in Cali
fornia in 1S49 and the Mormon exo-
dus from Missouri and Illinois to
Utah, made a track, but II was so
long and perilous that many preferred
the route around the Horn or across
the Isthmus.
And now the mail train or the pas
senger makes the journey in less than
four days from ocean to ocean.
But that is not the limit. In this
year Of 1921 a record has been made
which is certain to cut the time OF
the delivery Of mail between New
York and San Francisco TO something
like eighteen hours.
This is as great an achievement
and as notable a reduction as that
which the railroads made in 1853
when they superseded the pony ex-
press, and cut the price of postage
from $3.50 a half ounce to three
cents.
Mail has been delivered this year
in forty hours from the time it left
the other side of the continent; and
the airplane is certain to be utilized
in a fashion that viii make all our
present day methods seem slow.
We have a great continent We
need strong bonds to hold the east
and west and north and south to-
gether.
John Fiske says that but for the
invention Of the steamboat and To-
connective, the thirteen colonies could
hardly have been held IN unity. We
are binding our forty-eight states
with stronger bonds than even those
OF steel.

COOPERATIVE STORE IN

erative Store Committee.
In cooperation there Is not only
strength. but there is economy.
1t is not Tidely known. / believe.
that in the basement Of the New York
.public library there is cooperative
store which pays.
Another thing the public may not
realize is that although librarians rep-
resent high class Of society from the
standpoint OF education and home
standards. they are perhaps the poor
est paid Of professional WORKERS.
The cooperative store really sprang
from the need of adjusting the high
cost OF living to librarians salaries.
As a class librarians naturally would
oppose any solution of their economic
problems which savored of patronage.
Pays Dividend.
The store was opened on June g.
1920, and a 3 per cent dividend on the
subscription has been declared regu-
larly each half year.
There are 1900 employees of the
New York public library. Six hundred
Of these are employed in the main
building; the other six hundred being
located in the various branches, Of
which there are 81
There are 401 stockholders in the
store, each of whom subscribed at the
beginning Of the experiment from SIS
to $25. Today the store is no longer
an experiment, but a successful institu-
tion.
We have an expert storekeeper in
charge, but during the noon rush
hours volunteers help out. We serve
nght lunches. The place is filled with
al kinds of necessaries, from canned
gpods to butter, eggs and other per-
ishables. like fruit and milk.
Everything is sold at saving to
the purchaser of from % to 80 per
cent. For instance, boiled ham may

here at 10 cents a pound. The Al cent
grade sells for % cents.
Variety of Sales.
We buy in large quantities and we
have no rent, heating or lighting ex-
penSes. so Of course, all this goes into
thelsavings of the members.
Blsides things to eat we also have

WONDERFUL WOMAN

Who is the most wonderful woman
IN the world? All happily married

Children win answer. MY mother"
The world is full OF wonderful wom-
en-.
1t has just lost one. of the most re-
markabie Of them, Mrs. Corne1ia Adair
-S5-year old pioneer OF the south
west. She died in London. where she
was society queen during vacations
from the 100000 acres OF ranch and
10000 head Of cattle which she owned
and managed personally in Donley
county. Texas.
Mrs Adair. native Of New York.
married John Adair a half century
ago, and went with him to Colorado

country menaced by Indians and wild

came fabulously rich.

with the lasso, rode with her cowboys
and made her ~. A. ranch famous
as the best in Texas. At all big stock
shows, her cattle won first prizes.
Despite this activity, Mrs. Adair al

and connissieur of art. She and the
nobility of England visited back and

America has built up by pioneer
women of Cornelia Adair type though
usually their fields for activity were
small.
There have been as many great
women as great men, in all ages. Usu-
alIy-as in the case of Mrs. Elias
Howe, who perfected the sewing ma
chine invention for her husband-the
women have been robbed Of the credit.
1t is womans nature to remain in
the background.
But whenever a man achieves great
ness, it is a 1000-to-1 shot that his
greatness was inherited from his moth
er. Also. that he probably wound have
remained a mediocrity, had he not been
fired with ambition and inspiration
and puss-ed forward-by his wife or
sweetheart
In all generations, the greatest act
ors have been women, just as Sarah
Bernhardt eclipses all male perform
ers of her time.
In private life, woman plays the ST.
lent part. But she is there. staging
the show, setting the scenery, making
the costumes, directing the plot-and
most important of all. providing what
theatrical producers call atmosphere.

LIFE OF MAN HAS BEEN

White males who have reached the
age of 10, can expect on the average
to live so years more. a generation

The life of man has thus been i'm

Woman's gain has not been as great.
Her life expectancy is about So years,
a gain Of a trif1e more than year

This prolonging of life. says the
