OUR BIRTHDAY.
To-day the Pine Knot isayearold.
Fifty-two times it has brought its
light to many homes. It has tried
to shed an honest light and a genuine
warmth from the flowery South to the
fioury Northwest, and from weather-
beaten Maine to sun-brown California.
fit was a laige undertaking, but, thanks;
to the excellent . quality of our rich,
fragrant, golden-hearted pine, we've
accomplished it. Yes, we've done bet-
ter. Our light-bearer has gone over,
the border into -Canada, and over !
I ocean to England.

agement have come to ns from alii
quarters. We steadily gam new
