WILL YOU BE MISSED.
As You Shape Your Career in Life
So Do You Write the Record
By Which You Will Be Known
After Death.
r omk of these days you, who
w are reading this editorial, are
aniiig to die and pass on to your
reward whatever that reward
may he.
But will you leave a void be
hind? Will you be missed ?
The creator has ordained that
man must carve out his own ca
reer in this world, and when he
journeys to the great unknown he
leaves behind him a record found
ed upon his own acts.
You may leave behind you a
wife, or children, or other depen
dents. As you deal with them in
life, so will their grief be gauged
.ind tempered at your death.
Will they miss you?
In this town we have friends,
mid business associates, and per
haps many acquaintances. They
know you as you are, as you have
been for these many years. They
have judged your living and they
will judge you dead.
Will they miss you
In the banks and the stores, and
the offices, and out upon the farms
are people who have known you
in the past and who know you to
day. As you have been, so are
you known to them now.
Will they miss you?
In our homes are many little
children who know you, who have
passed you on the street, who per
chance, may have been greeted
with a kindly smile or with a
frewn. They will remember you.
But will they miss you?
Even your faithful animals or
pets know you as you are and as
you have been to them.
Will they miss you?
There is no place you may go,
no point of the compass to- which
you may turn, but what people
have known you are will know
you, and by all of these you will
be judged when you have passed
away.
As you shape your career in life,
so do you write the record by
which you will be known after
death.
Your family, ynurassociates.your
acquaintances, even your dumb
brutes will remember you after
you have passed on. Franklin

NEVER CROSSED. I
There's many a sorrow and pain, 1 know,
As we tread the path of life;
There's many a grief and lasting woe,
And the way is toil and strife.
But the hardest load we have to bear
Is the labor and strength that's lost
In building the bridge with toilsome care
O'er the stream that is never crossed.
We have fretting and worry from morn till night,
And anguish weighs on the heart;
The thorny way seems hard to right,
And life is a bitter part.
But there is a burden greater yet,
Much peace of soul it has cost,
It is building a bridge with toil and sweat
O'er the stream that is never crossed.
There's looking for crossing all the day,
And searching along the shore,
For abridge or ford along the way
We shall never travel o'er.
There's sighing for useless toys in vain,
' And dreaming of chances lost:
But 'tis hardest to bridge with might and main
The stream that is never crossed.
Then gather the roses along the way,
And treasure the fragrance rare;
Rejoice in the bright and joyous day,
Refusing to borrow care.
For sorrow and pain will surely come,
And your soul be tried and tossed,
But don't be bridging to reach your home
O'er the stream that is never crossed.

OBJECT OF SUSPICION.
Senator Jett' Davis, of Arkansas,
told this one on himself.
"I had an appointment to speak
at a town in Fastern Arkansas on
a Saturday, and 1 arrived on a late
train the night before, carrying
nothing but a small hand grip. I
weni to a hotel near the depot.
There was no one on duty at the
hour except the night porter, and
he was acting as porter, clerk and
general overseer. I registered and
he showed me to a room, but in a
few minutes he came back and
said:
" 'Boss, my 'struciion is, when
a eemman haven't any baggage;
to collect in advance.'
" 'Why, I've got baggage,' I
replied, pointing to the little grip.
" 'I know, sir, boss,' he said,
'but you've stayed too long on that
already.' "
MAKING A OET AWAY.
A colored man came running
down the lane as if a wild animal
were after him.
"What are you running for,

"I ain't a-runnin' fo'," shouted

Humor of Situation in Which
He was Central Figure.
HILE camPai8nin8 in 'owa
Vjjf Speaker Cannon was once
inveigled into visiting the public
schools of a town where he was
billed to speak. In one of the
lower grades an ambitious teacher
called upon a youthful Demosthe
nes to entertain the distinguished
visitor with an exhibition of ami
teur oratory. The selection
was Byron's "Battle of Water
loo," and just as the boy reached
thf end of the first stani Speaker
Cannon gave vent to a violent
sneeze. "But, hush! lurk de

sound strikes like a rising r nc 11 1
D(d ye not hear it?"
The visitors smiled and a moment
later the second sneeze which the
Speaker was vainly trying to hold
back came with increased vio
lence. "Bui hark !" bawled the boy,
"that heavy sound breaks in once
more, and nearer, clearer, deadli .r
than before. Arm! Ann !
It is it is the cannon's opening

This was too much and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled
