those which exhaust-the treasur-
ies and powers of nature, leaving
nothing more to be pursued or
pictured by fancy. Our faculties
are paralyzed by abundance and
cease to be capable of apprecia-
ting what we already ht.ve. Our
lives are based on hope; we have
no other actual possession.
We linger with delight over
the promised joys of lite’s un-
measured way, and S2en in fancy
from afar they are more pleas-
ing than all our past, knd make
us impatient of the present so
severely true.
Lights and shadows throng
over the beautiful pictures the
dim distance holds—lof ;y castles
on the plains and iuouuments
that tower even from the tops of
the mountains till t'hoy louc'u the
blue of Eternity. Famfe beckons
from the dreamy distance and
hope, smiling, makes the antici-
pated joy^eal Nothing is so
good or so^beautiful as when it
is ours only in tids ebafmed dis-
tance. We have dreamed of
mountain glories through our
childhood,more, perhaps,because
we are accustomed to the level
lands browned by the bending
furrows of the p’ougb, where
the fresh sweeps of the tree-
clad creeks form the only chang-
es of, interest arounl the home
where we have spent our lives.
When these mighty glories are
at last our oWii it is still the en-
chanted<dist <nee that makes the
purple peaks more entrancing

a singular airiness of form and
softness of environment. The
amethystine cliffs shoot up
through their, garment of violet
foliage till they are lost in Heav-
en’s blue. As vye come nearer,
in fine vicissitude, beauty gives
place to grandeur. ' Then an un-
numbered host of fairy peaks in
the further distance, in the last
light of day, all glowing with
gold and amethyst like gimt
jewels, buret on our enraptured
sight. Again, in o.ur childhood,

For that is nature’s law.
Their backs are broad, their legs>re
short. .
Their heads are beauties too,
Their hams arejdoep their flesh is sweet,
Their tails a curly Queue.
So modest and with lovely frays,
They are pictures of content;
They pay the mortgage off the farm,
And always make the rent.
These models of the modern swine.
And beauties of creation
Are carried in the Palace Cars
And across to other Nations.
The Lords of all the kingdoms there
Admire the noble breed,
They grow so large,fwlth finish too,
And take so little feed,
The Borksbire8 are our friends
Throughiadversity thick and thin,
We will] breed toe best-land take no
riBk;
They are always in (he ring.
The race was won not by the Hare
That boasted of its speed,
The Berkshire will always win
Over evey other breed.
I have some very,
fine Berskshire pigs—
pairs not related—
from Registered stock.

A FOOLISH MOVE
To buy a wheel of doubtful qual-
ity simply because it is “cheap.” In
the long run it will prove very dear.
Repairs 9000 eat up tbe difference in
cost between a second or third grade
wheel and one like the Crescent Bi-
cycle. But this is not a high priced
wheel. The $25 which it costs is for
fine material, workmanship and finish.
Always in stock Bicycle tires, Sprocket
Locks. Bike Lamps, etc.
Be Sure and See us.
