A Poem i From Mrs. Eby ... i Former Governor Thomas E. 1 1 a-woy of New York likes to quote this prayer sent to him by William E. Robinson who, in turn, received ' it from Us author, a Mother Su- 1 pc nor who wishes to be annony mous. I PRAYER Lord Thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing 1 older and will someday lie old. Keep me from getting talkative, and particularly from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody’s af fairs. Keep my mind free from the reci tal of endless details, give me wings to get to the point. I ask tor grave enough to listen 1 to the tales of others pains, j H< lp me to endure them wath 1 patience. Hut seal my lips on my own aches and pains they are increasing and my love of rehearsing them ! is becoming sweeter as the i years go by. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally it’s possible that I might be mistaken. Keep me reasonably sweet: I do not want to la* a saint, some of them are so hard to live with but a sour old woman is one of the crowning works of the Devil ! Make me thoughtful, but not moody: Helpful but not bossy With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all - but Thou knowest Lord That I want a few friends at the end. i Amelia News By Miss Florence l.imlsey Our mailmen had a vacation Monday due to Washington’s birth day anniversary.
