Another thing that twluis to im

it the fact that thuy recently took

who, by holding the utijierfcctud
title, avoided pay men I of tax on

turned iu'o the canal from the

ukuiii. On this yoo feet of ditch
time is imich heavy work. There
are two fill, each about 6 feet high
and 175 feet long. More than half
the dihtnnce is a cut . fuet duup, i
feet wide at the bottom and iS at
the top. The ground is froseu to a
depth of nlKnit 6 inches, iiuceasitnt
lug the use of block and tackle to
pull the plow through the crust.
The llunitt frauiu will be com
pleted next woe-k, if no unexpected
delays occur. The work the past
week has buuu vury heavy and
rather slow. Tliu structure is built
to stay and it is no holiday job.

The soul

the rule. Now the soul that sin

censure for the drunkard, he is the
helpless victim of the saloon.
There Is no blame for' the woman
that tramples down Nature's Iron
wall of native modesty, she is the
injured creature of social standards.
There is no denunciation of the
faithless husband who beggars his
family at the gaming table, the
things to be pilloried are the cards
and dice. There Is no punishment
for the trusted employe who robs
the safe to gamble, the tonally of
outraged jttstlco is to be visited up
on the Mayor.

To Roltert ami John,
All but five of the books for the
school library have arrived and
bceu installed at the school house
In charge of Teacher Uowau. The
following verses, from an old school
reader, teach a spirit of appreciation
for such books as these, and the
children will profit from careful
resiling of them:
Take thm !sok, my boys,
Earnestly trcruse it;
Much ol after lies
Iu the way ye use if.
Keep it neat and clean;
Por, remember, in ft,
Kery stain that's s?ti,
Marks a thoughtless minute. .
Life is like a book,
Time is like a printer,
Dsrtmg now bis look
Where has gloomed no winter.
Thus he'll look, and 'on,
Tltfeach page sHotled,
Robert, thee and Johu,
Printed be or bloUed.
Youth's a sunny beam,
Dancing o'er a river,
With a flashing gloam,
Then away forever.
Uj it while ye may.
Not iu childish mourning,
Not in childish play,
Hut in useful learning.
As your years attain
Life's meridian brightness,
Hourly seek aitd gain
Genuine poUtoess:
This thus not iii forms,
As too many teach us,
Not hi open arms,
Not in silken speeches,
Not in Imughty eye.
Not iu artful dealing,
Not within the sigh
Of a mimicked feeling:
Hut its lights preside
Rkh in nature's splendor,
Over honest pride,
Gentleness and candor.
Slight ye not the soul
Por the frame's demerit;
Oft u shattered bowl
Holds a mighty siHrit:
Never search a brenst
Hy thy ruby's glances;
Pomp's a puppet guest.
Danced by circumstances.
What is good and great,
Sense can soon determine;
Prise it though ye meet,
Or iu rags or ermine.
Fortune's truly blind;
Pools may be her captors;
Hut the wealth of mind
Stands above their scepters.
Value not the lips
Swiftest kept in motion;
Fleetly-sailing ships
Draw no depth of ocean:
Snatch the chary gluam,
Prom the cautious knowing;
For the deepest stream
Scarcely lisjK 'tis flowing.
Cull from bad and good
Every seemiug flower,
Store it up as food
For some hungry hour:
Press its every leaf,
And remember, Johnny,
Even weeds the chief
May have drops of honey.
Pomp and power alone
Never make a bluhsiug;
Seek not e'en h throne
Hy one wretch distressing,
lletter toil a slave
For the blood-earned penny,
Thau be rich, and have
A curse on every guinea.
Think, my gentle boys,
Every man u brother!
That's where honor lies,
Nay, but greatness rather:
One's the mystic whole,
Lordly flesh won't know it;
Hut the kingly soul,
Sees but vice below it.
Robert, thoughts like these,
Store you more than money;
Read them not to please,
Hut to practice, Johnny.
Artless though their dress,
As an infant's dimple,
Truth is none the less
For being truly simple.
