ed at losing money.
Every one of us have seen the
cutover land where fires have been

seen areas where fire has been pre-
vented and we can Immediately tell
the difference by the thousands of
pines of all ages which appear.
Those trees will appear on your
land too, and your neighbor's and on
all land about you, to the benefit

“She hath done what ahe could: she is come
aforehand to annoint my body to the burying.’'-—
St. Mark 14:8.
I do not auk for things not earned
Nor praise for deeds I've done,
I never think of flory vain,
Nor laurels I have wron;
But all I ask of those I know.
Of those who call me friend,
Give me my roses while I’m here,
Before I reach life’s end.
I
It’s not the rose laid on the grave
That makes a heart feel glad;
It’s thoae we do not get, while yet
We live, that make us sad.
This life is short and pleasures few, ^
Unless we all would try
And roses give, to those who live
Before they come to die.
A friendly smile, a word of cheer;
A hand-clasp from a friend,
And the struggles against life’s odds
Does not seem hard to win.
It's the encouragement we give
In smile or deed or song,
That shortens the path we must tread
E’er death shall sound the gong.
How dear the friends I meet each day
Who greet me with a smile,
They know they help me on my way,
Along each weary mile.
Let’s write our love upon warm hearts.
Not wait 'till they are gone,
And then write wisdom’s words of love
On a cold, gray, marble-stone.

EARTH'S CIRCUMFERENCE.
The distance around the world was
a subject of study by the ancient
Greek mathematicians. Aristotle says
that mathematicians of his time found
that the circumference of the earth
was the equivalent of 46,000 miles.
It was Eratosthenes (C\ 250 B. C.)
who first had an accurate idea of
the principles of determining this
figure. His results were Inaccurate,
but hia method was substantially
that which Is still employed at the

Dallns, Texas. Aug. 17.—Hope has
been revived In the heart of a Gold
Star mother that her son, or the
grave of her son might be found.
With th« report from France that
thte body of Lieutenant William A.
ftheenan of the Beventy-nlnth, had
been found with the bodies "of six
enlisted men after nine years search

It read. “Private John Thompeon

"Klyl” took a tough turn. Five
time* he failed to qualify for en-
listment and then he *was drafted
In the army. Within two waak*
he was on his way to Franca. His

which he never returned, although
his outfit came back, leaving him

Home amusing stories concerning
Queen Victoria are told by Sir Felix
Hemon In bis autobiography. The
queen had a great sense of dignity
hut she also possessed a keen sense
of humor. For Instance when Sir
James Reid her majesty's physlclan-
in-ordtnary became engaged to on©
of her maids of honor the Hon. Mins
Haring the queen was exroedingly
angry and sending for him lectured
him severely He ought to have
known she ol dhlm that nobody was
permitted to a maid of honor without
obtaining the queen’s permission. Sir
James listened and then humbly
answered that her majesty was quite
right; he certainly would not do it
again! This so strongly appealed to
the queen’s sense of humor that she
laughed heartily and without further
udo extended her pardon.
