I passed a stagnant marsh that lay
Beneath a reeking scum of green,
A loathsome puddle by the way;
No sorrier pool was ever seen.
I thought. ''How lost to all things pure
And clean and white those foul depths
be."
Next day from out that pond obscure
Two queenly lilies laughed at me.
I passed a hovel round whose door
The signs of penury were strewn;
I saw the grimed and littered floor,
The walls of logs from tree trunks
hewn.
I said. "The pates of life are shut
To those within that wretched pen."
But, lo, from out that lowly hut
Came one to rule the world of men,
?Strickland W. Gllllian in Baptist Un
Ion.
The Wrinkl* of Laughter.
What hair he has Is very thin and gray;
His eyes are sometimes filled with bitter
tears,
And when you see him on his weary way
You wonder how he carries ail his ,
years.
He is so old, so old and filled with pain
One marvels at the spirit he displays;
Yet from those eyes there flashes once
again I
The splendid courage of his younger
days.
And ever, when you greet him. you will
see
Upon his face a smile from worry free!
There are a hundred wrinkles on his
face? I
Bears left by Father Time from battles
grim? I
Yet there Is one which does deserve Its
place, .
And. wrinkle that it is, it honors him.
'Tls long and deeply marked, and some
might say
It marred that strong old ta.ce. That la '
not so!
It la the badge of laughter; day by day
He saw the happy side and made It
grow!
x Though life has been no joke to him, he's
found
The value of a laugh?and passed It
round.
In years to come, when I am old and
gray,
One hope I have?that men may say of
me:
"The wrinkles that he has we would not
change.
The cheerful side of life ha helped us
see!"
?Jack Appleton In Cincinnati TimesStar.
, "Winter."
Oh, winter, ruler of th" Inverted year,
Thy scattered hair with aleetllke ashes
flll'd,
Thy breath congeal'd upon -thy lips, thy
cheeks
Frlng'd with a beard made white with
other snows
Than those of age, thy forehead wrapp'd
i.. in clouds,
leafless branch thy scepter and thy
throne
sliding car, indebted to no wheels.
But urg'd by storms along its sllpp'ry
way,
I crown thee king of Intimate delights.
Fireside enjoyments, home born happiness
And all the comforts that the lowly roof
Of undlsturb'd retirement and the hours
Of long uninterrupted ev'nlng know!

My Uncle Hi's mind has an equable poise
Through seasons of drought arid of rainIn'.
"In worry," he says, "we lose sight of our

Oh. yet we trust that, somehow, good
Will be the final goal of 111,
To pangs of nature, sins of will.
Defects of doubt and taints of blood;
That nothing walks with aimless feet.
That not one life shall be destroyed
Or cast as rubbish to the void;

That not a worm Is cloven In vain;
That not a moth with vain desire
Is. shriveled In a fruitless fire
. Or but subserves.another's gain.

Stoves liave dozens of
good modern points that we can point out to you if you will come in
and look them over. They are made to cook and to last, and if these
two things are not what you are looking for then the Enterprise will
not suit you. All the quality that can be put into a stove is there,
and whats interesting again is that the factory guarantees them to
you for 15 years, and they have been pleasing the people for 40 years,
and each year, of course, they have been perfected, for the Phillips
& Burtorf Mfg. Co., of Nashville, Tenn , the makers of these wonderful
goods, are progressive people and are constantly on the look
out for a chance to improve. Dargan's 5 and 10c Store.
