Yes, Spring is round the corner,
It isn't far away,
For -gradually it's :getting
Close to our 1 earls each day.
The trees up in the city
Look dull, and grimed, and grey,
But presently their jewels
Of buds they will display.
'Tis called the darkest hour

Before the„ dawn appears;
And likewise with the -winter
Which drops its "coldest tears,'
Because it' has to leave tis
When sweet gay springtime nears,
So look yon to the future,
Forgetting old past fears.

APPRECIATION AND HOME
I appreciated and wish to thank
neighbors and friends, men and wo-
men, who so generously helped to
make our sale a success, although sad-
ness filled our mind to see the old
hone effects going away. 'Home!
Hormel Sweet Honne! be it ever so
humble there is no place like Homel"
O•ur father wed the old ox bell and
the axe, our mother the milking pail
and the old arm chair, our sister the
•dishes and the needle, our brothers
the teal'- and scythe, and myself the
books and desk.
,Our sister the day before she passed
away in pain and agony said to me,
"Let one go Home, why don't you let
me go Home," This is the final des-
tiny of all our people, our eternal
Holm.
We all cherish and revere otirnat-
ive or natal hone; we love and value
our adopted home, but our Eternal
Home is our final dwelling place. Life
is transient or brief; it is also transi-
tory or uncertain and also fleeting at
tine present time unheeded.
The 'Eternal Houle' is the only last-
ing and happy 'Home, free from sor
row, sadness, ,pain and sin. Our wis-
dorm'hen
t t ' Seeke
th Lord when He
may 'be found, call upon Him while
He is near."

nice pass from Gemmell, giving Mc-
Carthy no chance to save, Venus and

Connor then gave Dublin their first
goal on a scramble in front of the

up again,' completing the second per-
iod scoring.
In the third period Dublin ,put on
