of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per

changing seasons , it disarms

Told Wltb a Kiss.
I know not how It happened ,
Or what I had to say
But olcudu hid all the sunshine
On my darling's face that day ,
I longed to a > k forgiveness
For bitter words of mine ,
But pride was fierce stubborn.
And so I g T no sign ,
I raw the swift tears falling
Upon my darling's cheek ,
And then the grievedUp quivered
Wltb wordishe did not speak ,
Then something whispered to mo :
"Whst better way thanthU ?
Go tell her that you love her.
And tell it with ft kiss ! "
"Dear hcartl" I cried , "I love you !
Forgive the words I spoke. "
Across her face the sunshine
Through summer shower * broke.
"I'm most to blame , " she whispered ,
"For what h "
s gone amiss.
And the troubloi of the morning
Were ended in a kiss.

To this great man gone to rest :
Peace on tha dim Plutonian shore ,
Host in tbo land of the blest.
I reckon him greater than any man
That ever drew sword In war ;
I reckon him nobler than king or khan ,
Braver and better by far ,
Ard wiiest he In this whole wide land

For all yu can hold In your cold dead
band
Is what you have given away.
So. whether to wander the stars or to rest
Forever huihed and dumb ,
He gave with a test and gave his best ,
And d serves the best to come.
