THE LEAVES FALL

Leaves are turning brown and fast
ialiihg from the trees. 1t makes
one realize that fall is near, but the
strange part of it is that they are
raining So early. Close observation
wlii show that there are more brown
leaves and more of them already on
the ground than is the rule the first
OF october in most years. There are
several reasons advanced One
theory is that the season was too wet
for trees with the irrigation water so
close to the top Of the ground, while
some claim that there are bugs or
worms working on them, but what
ever the cause the leaves are falling
l month earlier than they should.

WATER

They tell US waters harmless, as

mighty handy in the bath, or kitchen

the bosom of the lake,-but. some
times she's as deadly as collin
rattlesnake!
The dam above the city. spreads
destruction when it busts,-and tenn
percd steel is helpless, in the mois-
ture, where it rusts +. There's de-
mols In the under-tow, that drags us
out to sea,-which proves that these
here quiet things is dangerous as can
be.
Where the thnnders of Niagara
mocks the bDOmin' of the skies-or
where the rOarin' rivers sweep the
valleys as they rise.-you can ask the
ayin' thousands as they scream in
wild alarm, if they think little wat

It's the same with Christianity-as
calm as twilight's hOnr,-as peace
able as angels, yet. Herculean In Its

the Democratic ticket. There are
several who have been mentioned and
good many more will be suggested
during the naxt few months.
The Republicans have been talking
but little politics so far, altho a few
names have been mentioned as likely
candidates for certain of the offices.

Fraternity.

The true resistance Of man against
catastrophies Is an augmentation of
humanity. Love one another, aid one
another. Solidarity Of men is the re-

It Is thus that is established on earth

formula, Fraternity. Governments put
obstacles in the way Of Liberty and
Equality. they will come in their time,
In spite of the monarchy; Equality
In spite Of the aristocracy. But Fra

ihere is too much chance of paying a
