The yeiTnan beer brewers and
French wine manufacturers are fight
ing buih in tlie American State and

enable them to open up business.
Kow is the time of great import
ance for people everywhere to fight
.ij,\ iuly against the liquor business
.ii all its forms. Every line of the
liquor forces is working over time and
charging every point that can be
.ound to abolish temperance laws.
The people who. care for a better
development of society and are in
terested in soberness should remem
ber that the liquor fight must be con
tinued. It may be that liquor will
be here to trouble us for a century,
but if it is a bad thing it is worth
fighting against, even if does take a

If you hajgp a friend worth loving
Love. Yes; and let him fcnow
That you love him ere lifes evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Yvhy should good words ne'er be

Of a friend till he is dead ?

I iove xor tnose about theiti. Vvhy should
not this continue on as we grow old
er. How olten we are ashamed to
express the tenderness we feel. So
much is taken for granted that often
those we love do not know it. 1 have
just read of a woman very ill in a (
sanitarium who received a note from c
t
a friend, "1 love you dearly.' The
woman's face was all sunsliine when t
•she said, "How dear of her to tell me. i
I did not know she cared so much *
forme." '/l.'jlij l ! l
There are those we love dearly "
i
whom we are with daily. We are hap f
py to be near them. So happy that t
we forget to tell them we care. How
will they know it unless we tell them ?
Just a smile, or a little deed full of c
gentle thoughtfulness helps, but that 11
11
full sweet word often helps more. We »
may feel deeply but are unable to ii
■]
express our feeling in words. Then
there is the language of actions. But j
(here is always a way to express our t
bve. Words or actions, or both.
Edgar Allen Poe, troubled und dis- t
couraged, wandered here and there,
looking hungrily at life, longing for
kindness for tenderness, for "some one
who cared." His foster-father treat
o
ed him with much less consideration 0
than he would have treated a pet dog. t
Poe's greatness was not known by
many then. One day his figure was
found cold and lifeless. His fame is
now world wide, but he died unhappy
end alone. While he lived he was a
lone with loneliness.
Those little words that come from
beneath the commonplace of common
things, cause us to carry on when we '
see our way blocked far in front. And
when we are strangers in a strange
land, we can turn back to them and
drink afresh and quench our thirst.
• Let us open our heart and express
1 our love to those that are near ant)
e (iear to us while they are with us.
| For if we dont, there will come a
j time when out of sight they will go
f and seme time, some where, after they
i .
J have gone, we will think of ,'some
- word that we might have said and,
k they might have heard."
