The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near. "You are wasting your strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day: You never again will pass this way; You've crossed the chasm deep and wide; Why build you this bridge at even-tlde?” The builder lifted his old gray head:— "Good friend, in the path I have come.” he said, ■‘There followeth after me to-day | JA youth whom feet muBt pass this way: This chasm, that has been ns nnught to me. To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim — Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.” Honor Roll of Newnan Public Schools The Country Newspaper. William Allen White in Harper's Magazine. The beauty and the joy of our papers and their little worlds is that we who live in the country towns know our own heroes. Who knofts Murphy in New York7 Only a few, yet in Emporia we all know Tom O'Connor—and love him. Who knows Morgan in New York? One man in a hundred thousand. Yet in Emporia who does not know George Newman, our banker and merchant prince? Boston people pick up their morning papers and read with shudder ing horror of the crimes of their daily villain, yet read without that fine thrill that we have when we hear that A1 Ludorph is in ,jail again in Emporia. For we all know Al. We’ve ridden in his hack a score of times. And we take up our paper with the story of his frailties as readers who begin the narrative of an old friend's adventures. Our papers, our little country papers, seem drab and miserably provincial to strangers, yet we who read them read in their lines the sweet, intimate story of life. And all these touches of na ture make us wondrous kind. It is the country newspaper, brirging together daily the threads of the town life, weaving them into something rich and strange and setting the pattern as it weaves, directing the loom and giving the cloth its color by mixing the lives of all people in its color pot—it is this country newspaper that reveals U3 to ourselves, that keepB our country hearts quick, and our country minds open, and our country faith strong. When the girl at the glove counter marries the boy in the wholesale house the news of their wedding is good for a forty-line wedding notice, and the forty lines in the country paper give them self-respect. When in due course we know that their baby is a twelve- pounder, named Grover or Theodore or Woodrow, we have that neighborly feeling that breeds the real democracy. When we read of death in that home we can mourn with them that mourn. When we see them moving upward in the world into a firmer position in affluence and society, and out toward the country club neighborhood, we re joice with them that rejoice. There fore, men and brethren, when you are riding through this vale of tears upon the California limited and by chance pick up the little country newspaper with its meager telegraphic news of 3,000 or 4,000 words, or at best il5,000 or 20,000; when you see its array of countryside items, its in terminable local stories, its tiresome ■ editorials on the waterworks, the schools, the street railroad, the crops and the city printing, don’t throw ' down the contemptible little rag with the verdict that there is nothing in it. But know this, and know it well: If you could take the clay from your eyes and read the little paper as it is writ ten you would find all of God's beauti ful, sorrowing, struggling, aspiring world in it, and what you saw would make you touch the little paper with reverent hands.

And Let His Beauty Be Upon Us.” Progressive Farmer. To help make the world a little more beautiful is not only a human privilege, but ought to be regarded as one of the highest expressions of the religiouB spirit. “Consider the lilies,” urged the Mas ter, and then showed His own love for the beautiful things of earth; showed with what appreciation He had watched the blossoming colors about the farm homes of Judea, by adding that “Solo mon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these!” To keep and beautify a garden was the first task given to man; and the God who not only covers the summer world with flowers, and in autumn makes the whole earth almost like one huge bou quet, but also gives us the glory of sky and sunset and “Night, vast with her stars,” He must also will that should live daily with eyes ever open for the beauty with which He has sought to Burround us. Every really devout bouI must echo the prayer of Moses, “the man of God,” in the won derful 90th Psalm: “Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants aqd Thy glory unto their children. And let the beau tv of the Lord our God be upon us.

Then refers to the politicians, the stand patters, the ignorant, and those who don’t want to learn. Some men knew 15 years ago that the ticks could be eradicated, and knew it could be dono; but it will tuke some people 15 years more to learn that the ticks can be eradicated for less than it takes to feed them one season. — Tho Progressive Farmer. Any coward can get mnrried, but it someties takes a hero to stay married. Even President Wilson has fallen into the popular habit of telling jokes on the Ford automobile. The other day when he started for an auto ride he ob served four machines parked in front of the White House, relates the Path finder. This reminded him of a story, in substance as follows: The owner of a Ford had come down with what was considered his last illness and requested the friends gathered about his bedside to see that the machine wbb buried with him. Much surprised at the odd idea, they pressed him for an explana tion. “Well,” said he, “that little old car has pulled me out of many a deep hole, and it mought pull me out of this one. ” Tho average man never fully realizes at midnight how very Blecpy he is go ing to be at 7 the next morning. Joseph Braddock, a miner of Winder Pa., hit upon a new method of com mitting suicide.

His wife witnessed the tragedy from a window in the house. - • » ■ • She Told Her Neighbor. ”1 told a neighbor, whose child had croup, about Foley's Honey and Tar,” writes Mrs, Rehkamp, 2404 Herman St., Covington, Ky. “When she gave it u couple doses she was so pleased with the change she didn't know what to say.” This reliable remedy helps coughs, colds, croup and whooping- cough.

It is a great national propaganda dealing with the most important problem that has confronted this nation since the Civil War—the problem of America’s unpreparedness. If you have a drop of red blood in your veins, you will experience in witnessing his production a thrill such as you have never known before. You will see the enemy approaching, the powerlessness of New York, the weakness of its forts and defenses. You will see the havoc wrought by the enemy’s howitzers, sub-marines airships ; by its shells, shrapnels, and bombs. You will see the most beautiful sky line in the world in flames, the metropolis of the western hemisphere devastated You will see New York fall, the desecration that follows. THE BATTLE CRY OF PEACE” is a call to arms against War. It was written by J. Stuart Blackton and vitagraphed under his personal supervision. Scores of prominent Americans in the army and navy and administrative circles have contributed to its preparation MR.
