what is undeniably true-«that “past

granted, would result in actual bank-

leave them as a whole unprepared to

The fact is emphasized that "it is
less then two years since the last ad-
Justment of engineers’ wages was
made in .the Eastern district, which
glneers‘ pay amounting to $8,923,880.
or 10.73 per cent. per annum."
Bearing upon the ability of. the rail-
roads to meet these recurring de~
mands for higher pay, some concur
sive figures in the negative are pre-
sented. it is stated that the reduction
of the net revenues by the constantly
increasing expenses of operation has
so narrowed the margin which is es-

many or the roads that further in.

SUNNY HILLS OF HOME
(Composed and dedicated to Miss ,

I can see them shining yet.
For my heart can ne' er for et
The lights on the sunny h lie of

Naught my heart can know of
rest
Naught of gladness fill my breast
'Tlll my feet press the sunny
hills of home.
Is there no way back
Along life' s weary track.
Back to the sunny hills of
home?
I have wondered far and wide
I have felt life‘s darkest side—
’I‘alte me back to the sunny hills
of home.
I haire roamed this dark world
o'er.
Sailed its seas from shore to
' shore.
Still sighing for the sunny hills
of home:
Distant lands have beckoned me
This world's glory fair to see.
But my heart seeks the sunny ‘
hills of home.
is there no way back
Along iii‘e‘s weary track.
Back to the sunny hills oi
home?
I have wandered far and wide.
I have felt life‘s darkest side—-
Take me back to the sunny
hills of home
Oh. ye friends I love so well.
Afar from the sunny hills of
home'
In that fair home by the sea. .
,Tempt me not to longer dwell :
)
Like the wild birds I'll be free-11-
Take me back to the sunny
hills of home.
Yes. I'll hie me back
Along the shining” track. ;
Back to the sunny hills of"
home:
Voices calling from afar.
That fair home my guiding star,
Let me haste to the sunny hills
of home.

OF ONE WHO WALKS
ALONE
These are the ways of one who
walks alone.
Sweet. silent we a that lead to-

Bees softly winging where a

Through the hills‘ hollow cool

These are the ways that call one;

To old forgotten things m faded

bored tears
They stand from out the dust

These are the ways life’s simple 1

Keen hornely scents borne by

Here in the silence one may
ever find
That last. strange peace whose”
