J. J. J. J. BUFFALO EVENING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1911.

Buffalo, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 1911. Walking Through the World. EVENING NEWS I walk beneath mysterious autumn trees, An autumn twilight hourBut whet I walked in summer field and bower These two were mysteries: Always there is a spirit and breath Beyond my spirit's call, Almost the living trees confess the faith, And yet I know not what creation saithBut He who walks there with me knows it all. There was EB hour, 0 friend of mine, when we To each drew very near, When hand in in hand we both grew silent, dear, Because love could not see: Always there is a secret yet untold, The barriers do not fall, Almost I find your life whose hands I hold, And vet I know not what my hands enfold- But love Himself is with us, knowing all.

-Saturday Review. Leve and a Shotgun By CARL JENKINS. (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press) Scores of farmers had written to the university that they could use extra hands during July and August, and Clarence Davis was one of the students who elected to work during the vacation. He went to a farmer who wanted only one man, but a big, stout one. Clarence Was big and stout, and the farmer figured that if he only had a small appetite he would be as much of a bargain as a dollar shirt marked down to 69 cents.

There was a regular hired man on the farm. He had been there a year. The farmer, the good wife and the daughter welcomed the new hand, but Jim, the hired man, didn't. He took long look at him, listened to his talk for a few minutes, and then went out to the barn and shook his fist at the haymow and kicked over a halfbushel measure and hoarsely ex- claimed: "It he does it I will kill him if I hang for it!" Farmer Bush's daughter was named Amelia. She was twenty -two years old and engaged to Jim.

He had won her heart and hand the first three months. No date had been set for the wedding, but it was counted a sure thing. Amelia had taught a district school one term, and was inclined to look down on Jim. The college boy went to work with good deal of vim. He wanted muscle, and he wanted the wages.

While he was a hired man for the nonce, couldn't being himesif at the same time. He didn't use help, soft soap to wash his hands; he made use of comb and brush before coming to the table; he made a change from his working clothes after the chores had been done up for the night. Amelia was impressed from the very first day, and she was foolish enough to show it. The student hadn't been an inmate of the farmhouse two full weeks when plain to everybody that Jim was down on him. He jeered at his work, sneered at His talk and became almost insulting over his musical abilities on the cottage organ.

"Better go slow," cautioned the farmer to the lover one day. "If you get him teal mad he'll break you in two." "But he shall never take Amelia from me and live!" was the reply. "Pooh! He isn't giving her a thought." But Jim could see flirtation, love, marriage and all that in every little action, and one evening, as the two men were milking he bolled over. The knowledge, had come to him that the pie on supper table had been made and served on account of his rival: That pie broke the camel's back. He announced the fact to the student and pitebed in.

He was gathered up and thrown ovet the force, and then he planned it tragedy. ovenings later, as Mr. Davis antered the barn to feed the horses, there flash and a roar. and a hendful birdshot whizzed around was, bim.

If 30, live by it and accept it as a part of your working creed, It is easy to read, to be moved and then straightway to forget. But the purpose of these lections is not merely to attract the attention and to stir the emotions: It is ather to enrich the character and the life.

To take one truth a day and put It to: the test by translating It into deed, to let the Inspiration of a single thought brighten and empower the soul for its problems and its tasks. this should make the year 1912 a year of vision, growth and blessedness." So well have the women of the calendar committee performed their work. that there is an assurance on every page that the calendar will be read for its own sake also for what it may have for each reader and also in deter. ence to Its contributors.
