The offices and operating rooms OF

ready to take care of his patrons.
DR.. Qualls has been having some very
extensive and elaborate additions
made in his quarters. Several rooms
have been added for patients, with
proper ventilation and heating,
kitchen and pantry, and provisions

ems The operating room is in the
rear, to which the physician and sur
geon has made an additional install

gether ono of the best equipped OPP
Grating rooms to be found anywhere.
The entire quarters make a complete

Lloyd Georges Jokes on Himself.

What has saved Lloyd George is his
sense of humor He knows how to
laugh at himself. His favorite story
now a chestnut-was of the man who
saved drowning person in the
Thames and explained, "Yes-I
jumped in after him-got him by the
neck-turned him over and found he
wasn't Lloyd George-and then l
pulled him out" His next favorite is
Of the old Welsh farmer who walked
many miles in Criccieth, where Lloyd
George lives. I'm going to have a
look at David" said this admirer.
'David's now a great man." "Why
yes, he gets $4,000 year," answered
his friend. The farmer looked
thoughtfully and replied-"it's not the
$4,000 year that matters. Our Da-
vid lives near the pile."-P. w. Wilson

Work for the Night Is Coming.

Work for the Night Is Coming.
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work mid springing flowers.
Work, when the day grows brighte
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When mans work is done.
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While the bright tints are glowini :
Work, for daylight flies. 50
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is darkeni
When mans work is DER.

mines and the railroads where they

suggests some serious thoughts.
One Of these is that the previous
operation Of the railroads by the

afforded tie opportunity of learn

Among these are some salient ones
of the way how to do it.
However, the intimation is an init
