Than the dewy eyea of love, Fhall we mournfully revert To the vanished morns and Mays Of our youth, with hearts that hurt In the evening of our days? Shall the land that holds your own Till the twain are thrilled as now, Be withheld, or colder grown? Shall my kiss upon your brow Falter from its high estate? And. In all forgetful ways. Shall we sit apart and wait In the evening of our days? Kay, -my life! the us vctvetwlse. shall be the my wife gloom Shall enfold And my smile groom Of the gladness of your eyes; Gently, gently as the dew Mingles with the darkening maze, I shall fall asleep with you In the evening of our days. James Whitcomb Riley. cauhe the troop trains ruling to the front had the, right of way. It is the way the war game Is played. There la nothing noble or Inspiring about it and there is no glory except in the story books. Thi-re are rui heToes because there are too many. A man may sacrifice his life for his country and It won't be known 10 feet away. There are 10.000,000 men all offering to do the same thing. The people of the United States have much to be thankful for this Christmas eve. Here the families may gather round the firesides.

The brain Is a flesh and blood organ. It can be developed Just as an athlete develops his muscles. But brain power cannot be Improved when people are merely asked to believe and not to think. The danger in blind adherence to a doctrine of any sort lies In the fact that conditions change. A principle that will be good at one time may rot apply at all a generation later When the constitution of the United States was adopted it may have been wise to have the legislatures elect United States senators. It is no longer wise. Other political dogmas that were accepted as truthful a decade or a generation or a century ago are no longer sound. The same thing Is true regarding our economic prob lems. Snrl. tv la a living organism, not a machine, and our problems are always evolutionary'. Nothing Is so fatal to progress as the notion that we should not do a thing unless we have done it before.

Most of this waa from ships bound to or from for eign ports. The total tonnage through the canal waa 12.000,000 tons and of that amount 600.000 tons was coast to coast business. The coast to coast tonnage seems small compared with the total ship ping. Tet even at that the domestic business amounted to 30,000 carloads estimated on a basis of 40,000 pounds to the car. The water rate is much lower than the rail rate and the canal is working a considerable saving In transportation charges. This la doing well In view of the scarcity of ships and the fact the water business has not yet been developed. The foreign business through the canal would al o have been much heavier had It not been for the destruction of commerce by the war.

A western buyer is inordinately proud of the fact that one of his an cestors affixed his name to the Dec laration of Independence. At the time the salesman called the buyer waa aiming a number of checks and after his signature with many a curve and flourish. The salesman s patience becoming exhausted in waiting for the buyer to recognize him, he finally oD served: "You have a fine signature, Mr Sii.nnil.Sn ' "Yes," admitted the buyer, "1 should have. One of my forefathers signed the Declaration of Independ ence." "So?" said the caller, with rising inflection. And then he added: 'V11 vnn nln't Bnt nnttinun on Kit One of my forefathers signed the Ten Commandments." 1 & A SAFE ALLY OF HEALTH When you feel poorly have no appe- AtrMnn is Daa liver ana bowels Inactive, try In his annual report to the Chicago board of education Peter Relnberg. until recently pres MaUns Use of ldent of that body, School Property, considered, along with other sub jects, ways of securing greater utili zation of school buildings. Although the board has already moved far In this desirable direction, said Mr. Rein- berg, there is a question as to its legal authority thus to act in conformity with the wishes of the public. En abling legislation was suggested to make clear the powers of the board In this respect. Attention was also called by Mr. Relnberg to the need for more funds to be used in further ing the plan of making social centers of the school buildings. Not only should the schoolrooms outside of school hours be available for various purposes. Including the holding of public meetings, but the playgrounds, and. If possible, the gymnasiums, also 6hould be open for use under proper restrictions at other times than during the school day. There should be correlation between park boards and other recreation agencies of the city on the one hand and the school authorities on the other. The school playgrounds and evmnasiums could be made in many cases to serve the needs of their com munities at less expense to the tax payers than would be Involved in the creation of entirely new facilities by the park authorities. Attendants must be in charge of course, if the school playgrounds and gymnasiums are to be thrown open during other than school hours, but the expense thus in curred would be small as compared with the benefits. , The educational authorities of the city, as soon as they can properly ao so, should arrange for the more gen- A.. erul utilization or scnooi property ui community purposes.

Dec. 21 The Russian press is convinced that the formation of a Scandinavian inpie alliance may be announced at any time now as the result of the con ference at Malmoe, Sweden, last week of King Haakon, King Gustave and King Christian. The newspapers express the opinion that such an alliance could not pos sible be a source of danger to Rus sia. They state that a concert of the Scandinavian powers would allay all apprehension concerning the possible pro-German sympathy of Sweden.

(New York Sun.) There were no disappointments In the reopened stock market yesterday. The hopeful expectations with wnicn Wall ftreet prepared for a restoration of public trading were multiplied In the realization. Tnitied the session developed a eratifvlmr surprise n the volume of trnncnrtinnH and the course of prices Deniines were on a much more active rain than had been predicted. More over quotations rose as trauing pro gressed. the advr.nce being partlcu lariv Khnm In a number of Issues Roiiinir nrPHsura was conspicuously lacking despite the apprehensions onlv recntlv entertained.

On Thursday, July 30, quoted val npa tt,r secrultles of all descriptions bonds and stocks alike, were crashing violently downward under liquidation v. hich was coming from the ends or the earth. There was every portent of a terrific panic and it was even doubted if closing the markets would help to avert it. During the Stock Exchange suspension the financial and business world has recovered sta Miitv Xnrmal financial and commer clal facilities have been reestablished and the stock market has opened with activity and rising prices. Even had the fresh start of the Stock Exchange been less auspicious the ability to make It at all would have been most encouraging. The im portant thing was to open the market where business conditions and pros pects are reflected and discounted. The very fact of the opening demon strates that the war crisis has pussed: and the. fashion of the opening is of even more favorable omen.

The shortest and best rule for the achievement of success Is this: "GET RESULTS." Take a .lesson from the molecule. It's a little thing. But take the big gest thing you know what Is it but molecules compiled? Big things In business are but little things molded together. Don't overlook them. Often the disagreeable, but neces sary duties would be done In half the time we take wishing we didn't have to do them. This sounds like a paradox, but It Isn't.
