We have kept the peace, through East

Worn out, held forth a golden store;
We have endured the acid test;
Having, we have not grasped for
more.
Qur sword has not been drawn for
war,
Our soldiers have not passed the gate;
For us, today, to write the score;
God, keep our judgment clear and
straight. :
When, crushed and mangled, troop by

The battered nations draw away;
When conquest lured—we did not
stoop;
Right fought with might and won
the day.
We did not bid thc tempter stay,
We did not rob the slaves of Fate.

God, make our course run true and

Master, the world is at our feet;
Greed with power may seek to mate;
Domains allure—but honor’s sweet,
Make Thou our judgment clear and
straight.

“Well, ma’am,” the butler answered,

Those headaches of yours are
probably due to eye-strain on some
@ cause induced by the eyes. Relief
8 will surely come to you if you are
fitted with the proper kind of glass-
es-perhaps resting glasses or some-
thing stronger. An examination
will cost you nothing and will nn-
doubtedly assist you greatly.
We shall be pleased to have
you call and consult. If no
glasses are needed, we will tell
you so quite frankly.

C. Frank Webster, of Cumberland
a clerk in the post office, has been
missing from his home since Tuesday
afternoon. All efforts to locate him
have failed and it is now feared that
misfortune has befallen him. Webster
has a wife and three children.
The summer of 1915 gives promise
of being a record breaker for campers

E. J. Hamill, of Blaine, W. Va., cash- |
fer of the Kitzmiller bank, and an
officer and stockholder in the Hamill
Coa and Coke Company of Blaine,
has been missing from his home since
May 29. All efforts of his family and
business associates to locate him are
fruitless. No reason can be attributed
for his absence other than ill-health.
for he is one of the most succeccful |
business men in coal circles in that
part of West Virginia. |

Glenwood Coal Co.. at Glen Camp-

years, is to get its reward in a life of :

ence as the result of its stubbornness
When taken out of the mine for a day
of rest recently, the animal became
obstinate and would not return to
work. Everything known in the art of
persuasion was used in vain. At this
juncture, David E. Williams of Phil-
adelphia, president of the company,
arrived in Glen Campbell on an in-
spection trip. The history of the mule
and dts subsequent refusal was told
to Mr. Williams. He decided to pen- |
sion the faithful beast and ordered it
clipped, groomed and sent to a farm |
near Philadelphia, where it will pass
the remainder of its days. |
