A BIRTHDAY.
Ily W nit Mason.
Some iinipiy years nun I showed
up on ihis pliinci, where where
nniihern sireiinileis dash iheirwny
between lull hills of granite. I'm
growing old In count of years, thai
much I inn allowing; hut I urn
chipper us lite steers linn Adam
used for plowing. II you'd con
vince me I am old, you'd have lo
bring ihc papers; For I am gay, my
step is hold, and I cut fancy capers.
Men often say, "You look so
young ! Your youth is scarcely
civil; the rest of us by age are
stung why don't you bend and
shrivel?" And I reply, "The
world's a joke, and life a transient
flurry, and all our troubles end in
smoke, so I rcluse lo worry. To
me care looks like twenty cents, I
throw it to the foxes; it's worry
ages dames and gems, and puis
them in their boxes. Oh, worry
will not heal a sore, there is no
bjhn in weeping; so while you Fel
lows walk the floor. I put in nine
hours sleeping. And here I am
all sound and hale, and lit and perl
and able; I take a bullock by the
tail and throw it o'er the stable."
Today I celebrate my birthday with
Hares and Roman candles, while
signs re-echo round the earth,
brought forth by Teuton vandals.
If tears would down a single foe
I'd make a moist beginning; but
not an ill is healed by woe, and so
1 keep on grinning.

One of the things a young girl
has to discover for herself is thai a
nun may look well in a dress suit
and still be a poor provider.
The little boy may nol know it
but he'll never get another suit
that will give him as much joy as
that first corduroy suit.

National and Local
Meat Business

country is conducted by various
agencies
By small slaughter-housea
in villages
By local Abattoirs or small
Packing Houses in towns
both
Using only a part of the
local liva stock supply
and
Furnishing only a part of
the local demand for meat.
These slaughtering end distributing
agencies fill a well defined but neces
sarily restricted place in the distribu
tion of the products of llvt stock.
But only packers like Swift &
Company, organized on a national
scale, ore able to undertake the ser
vice that is mors vitally important,
involving

WOMAN.
OUR BOYS.
She is nothing but a woman, fair, mysterious and sweet
Given all the luring graces that make loveliness complete;
There is music in her laughter and her sighs are sweeter yet,
With ihe charm thai makes us wonder and remember and forget :
Illusive, tempting, weak,
Being all that man may seek,
Fearing little woes, but steadfast when disaster must be met.
She is nothing but a woman in whose breast love is aglow
As her child is taught ihe lesson you and I learned long ago;
From her lips he learns the wisdom that ennobles and that stands
Firm against outworn tradition, filling Reason's new demands-
Just a woman who would give
More than life to let him live
Who is sanctified and strengthened by the soft touch of her hands.
She is nothing but a woman, fit for heaven, but unfit
For a seat where pious bishops and unrighteous laymen sit;
Fil to bear the Caesar's children, fit to make the world complete,
I-ii to be the Saviour s mother, hi to guide His baby feet-
Hut a woman still, alas,
And unqualified to pass
Through the portals of the councils where the all wise brothers meet.
THE WANTS OF
Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long;
'Tis not with me exactly so,
But 'tis so in the song.
My wants are many and, if told,
Would muster many a score;
And were each wish a mint of gold,
I still should long for more.
I want (who does not want) a wife
Affectionate and fair;
To solace all the woes of life,
And ail its joys to share.
Of temper sweet, of yielding will,
Of firm, yet placid mind;
With all my faults to love me still,
Wiih sentiment refined.
And as Time's car incessant runs,
And fortune fills my store,
I want of daughters and of sons,
From eight to hall a score.
I want alas! can mortal dare,
Such bliss on earth to crave ?
That all the girls be ch.iMe and fair-
The boys all wise and brave.
These are the wants of mortal man,
I cannot want them long;
For hie itsi lf is but a span.
And canhly bliss a song
My last great want, absorbing all
Is, when beneath the sod,
And summoned to my final call.
The Mercy ot my God."
"Where is Vour Wondering Hoy
To-nlRhl ?''
Yes, boys will be boys, and why
should ihcy not? Now, a boy
should go lo school, bin iheiv is
no particular pleasure in thai, lor
fun he wanis and Inn he w ill luvv
Your hoy should always be nice
and clean; ii m.ikcs him look well
bin even lhat docs not satisfy
his frisky nature. A boy should
go to meeting once or twice du
ring the week, but, good as he is,
he will crave for pleasure. Vi'e
love a boy with a merry twinkle in
his eye; he looks so cunning; and,
besides, he will need all the spirit
of a young coll before he gets
through the world. If properly
trained it will be to him what steam
is lo an engine. Did il ever occur
to you to turn boy yourself and lay
aside your dignified, serious airs?
Try ii. l'lay with them; sing with
them; and, when night comes you
can pray with them with a result
you linle dreamed of. If they can
always have more pleasure with
you than anybody else you will al
ways know where they are. Did
you ever notice how the older ani
mals play wiih their young? It
looks funny you will admit, We
have often laughed at an old siitt
legged horse playing with a colt
and what a queer game of "tag" it
was; the baby horse beat every
time, but the linle one always kept
close to its mother, and was never
heard lo neigh. Parents lake a
lesson and it will be possible to
know where the "wandering boys
are tonight."

Jealousy at best is but a chronic
case of self-love.
A shady character doesn't always
keep a man cool.
During the courtship love shows
up in the dark.
Men of genius often make a for
tune for a man of talent.
Singers who pursue the even
tenor of their way never get off
their bass.
Sometimes the man who is
afraid to take a chance is beaten at
his own game.
