the Bunker Hill monument and look for it. From this monument one can also see Boston harbor, Harvard university and the residences of over 1,000,000 Americans, all protected against an enemy by a firm faith in neutrality. There are few grander views than that obtained from this shaft, and the codfish balls of Boston taste much better when the tourist has made the ascent and returned to his hotel. Bunker Hill monument was built by popular subscription. This proves that it was erected to a worthy cause.

A few influential friends can always gain a bill through a legislature appropriating funds for a monument, nature, object and location to be determined later. But when the public dig up enough nickles and dimes to build a three-hundred foot finger pointing upward, said public has not been fooled by a pull. Bunker Hill monument was built to honor a number of amateur Americans who fortified a lill and held it until their powder ran out. Many millionaires and other great men have died in Boston since then, but none of them has achieved a three-hundred-foot monument. Copyright by George Mathew Adams.

The wind has blown the clouds away, and now we have a perfect day, the sun is sawing wood; we jog along 'neath smiling skies, the sounds grief no more arise, and every gent feels good. Life seems a most delightful graft when nature once again has laughed, dismissing clouds and gloom; we find new charms in Mother Earth, our faces beam with seemly mirth, our whiskers are in bloom. That is the use of dreary days, on which we're all inclined to raise a yell of bitter grief; they fill us up with woe and dread, so when the gloomy clouds are sped, we'll feel a big relief. That is the use of every care that fills our system with despair, and rends your heart in twain lor when you see your sorrow waltz, youl'll turn three hundred somersaults, and say life's safe and sane. If there was not a sign of woe in all this verdant vale below, life soon would lose its zest, and you would straightway roar and beef because you couldn't find a grief to cuddle to your breast.

So sunshine follows after storm, and snow succeeds the weather warm, and we have fog and sleet; all sorts of days are snuing past, and when we size things up at last, we see life can't be beat.
