IT'S Something to
to Have Lived
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

~ is something to have lived
minute.
However long the after-years,
An instant with an neon in 1t,
Too glad for smiles, too sad for
tears.
For in that instant heaven nears.
For in that moment God has found
us
Earth nevermore but earth appears,
Whatever shadows gather round us
IT'S something to have lived a little,
One little hour, however small;
However brief. however brittle,
However soon our castles fall,
oh, 1t Is something to recall
To sound the depths. to walk Parnas-
sus,
In one short hour to live II all,
Though love may fall us, fortune
pass us.
IT'S something to have lived COM
pletely.
II only for a moments span.
Have lived moment madly. weetly,
Have lived the floodtide while we
can.
Whatever skies we ever scan,
Whatever books we ever conned us.
II is the hour God whispers man
That there is something yet beyond
us.

To some of us the very thought of

they are intended to develop our Prov

And frequently, while we are thus idly

The old egotism, narrow selfishness
and churlish temper, which were pull

scurried away.
We have become more charitable,
more neighbor1y, more Inclined to pull

when opposition is of no avail. we
heed cheerfully the advice of our SUI

ugly words Of protestation or rising up

HARRY STRAUSS
Plans to Open New Furni-
ture Store Next Tuesday

Harry Strauss, proprietor of the
Harry Strauss Furniture Company,
Third and Ludlow streets, announces
the opening of his new furniture store,
in the new Rosenberger Wall Paper
Company building, South Third street,
on next Tuesday evening The new
store is conveniently located, being
right opposite the Third street en-
trance to the post office.
The new store will be known as the
Reliable Furniture and Carpet Com
pany and will carry a complete line of
furniture, stoves, floor coverings and
electric lamps. In the new store
there will be series of sky lights
in the ceiling so that it will always
be possible for buyers to make day
light selections in all parts of the
main show room
The fast growing business of the
Harry Strauss Furniture Company
makes the opening of the new store
not only possible but absolutely nee
essary. The rise of Harry Strauss in
the business world, of Hamilton is
truly remarkable. Just few years
back he opened a second hand store
on Ludlow street. He then open
ed new furniture store in
the Jacobs hall building, where it
was soon realized he would have to
have more room for his growing bust
ness. He then bought the building
at his present location, remodeling it
and opening the first floor and base
ment. In a short time more room
was needed and the second and third
floors were occupied.
But still more room is needed, and
now comes the new store to be opened
Tuesday The real reason for Mr..
Strauss business growth is in his fair
and dependable dealing with all.
Handsome souvenirs will be given
to all grown-ups at the opening of
the new store Tuesday night, with
everybody invited to call
