AN IMPRESSION

In little cells of solitude
We assume a peculiar attitude,
Toward what our past might be;
Had we kept on living as busy bee
But some people are impressed
Only when they are suppressed.
Sunshine, leaves, butterflies, bees,
Flowers, fruits, birds, full of song trees.
July! o living joy! What we miss!
Why be deprived of all this bliss?
Well, some people are impressed
Only when they are suppressed.
And now, working in these walls of time;
Something silent speaking is divine.
Were our lives predestined by fate?
Oh, no! All are architects of fate ). :.
Only we needed to be suppressed,
Before we could be impressed
OF knowing that youth is vanity;
We ought to cease initiating humanity,
We must prepare ourselves for eternity.

ONE WAS ENOUGH

One of the churches in little western
town has a young woman for its pastor.
She was called to the door of the parson-
age one day and saw there much embar-
rassed young farmer of the German type.
"Dey said der minister lifed in dis
house," he said.
"Yes," replied the fair pastor.
"Vell,--I want to git merritt"
"To get married? Very well. l can
marry you."

disconcerted reply.-Ex.

AFTER A VISIT HOME

1 have made little journey
Der rough and muddy way,
To see the dearest people that l know,
My old father and my mother,
My sister and my brother,
And the home l left near fifteen year ago,
And the changes that l met
Fill my soul with sorrow yet,
(It is sad to think we all must pass away,
For my darling white-haired father
And my dear and loving mother
Have journeyed far along the homeward
way,
And my brother is beset
With multitude of cares,
And my sister now another's burdens
shares;
And face which still is dear
Has been missing many year,
But I know that he is waiting over there,
And we'll see him bye and bye,
In that home beyond the sky,
Where he's resting in our Heavenly Fa-
theirs care.
0, it is blessed comfort
Just to know we'll meet again
In land where there's no sorrow, death
or pain,
Where the burdens that we bear
And the sorrows that we share
Will seem nothing to the gladness over
there.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

That's what the world is asking you.
Not who you are,
Not what you are;
But this one thing the world demands
What can you do with brain or hands?
Once show the world what you can do
And it will quickly honor you
And call you great;
For soon or late,
Before success can come to you,
The world must know what you can do.
Up then, O soul, and do your best!
Meet like man, the worlds great test,
What can you do?
Gentle or Jew

Be brave, and show what you Can do!

SOME DAY

Some day we shall come back along this
way,
We two, grown old in wisdom and in
years.
This lake will dream again, these same
winds play,
And that faint flush that in the west
appears,
Prophetic of the night, will write anew
Upon the shadowy skies its line of flame !;
These stars will bloom again. Only we two
Of all the world will be no more the
same.
For steps must lag that walk with buoy
ance now,
And into misty years our road must
wind,
But, heart of mine, fear not-time cannot
bow
The will to dare, the zeal to seek and
find,
Nor change youths smile, nor dim the
dreams of yore-
And love grown old is only love grown
more.

Saturday last was sweltering day
as all who were in the yard can testify.
Wireless telegraph service between
United States and Japan was inaugurated
en- July 81, 1915.
According to returns received so far,
this year is going to be great year for
Minnesota machines.
The break in the hot spell was par
ticularly enjoyable to the night crew who
were in the yard Monday morning.
Next Sunday will be observed as
flower day in this institution and chapel
services will be conducted accordingly.
We anticipate another good game of
ball on next Saturday as the Tenth Ward
Club of Minneapolis, is scheduled to play
here on that day.

ordinary old plan Of straight
stock jobbing has become rather
passe in the last year or two. The
promoters are going In more for
syndicates and pools. The investor
must rely totally upon the trustee or
trustees. and more than so per cent

astrously TO the investor.
The idea Of the syndicate was that
the parent companies should receive
90 per cent OF the net earnings in

would receive> their pro rata share Of
