SILK HAT HARRY'S DIVORCE SUIT
The Crosses We Build
and How Our Nobler Selves Are Born
i
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Pausing a moment ere the day was done
While yet the earth was scintlllant With
light.
I backward glanced, from valley, plain
and height.
At intervals wehere my life-path had run,
Rose cross on cross; and nailed upon each
one , , . . .
Was my dead seif. And yet that grue
some sight
Lent sudden splendor to the falling night,
Showing the conquests that my soul had
. won. '
Up to the rising stars I looked and cried,
There Is no death! For year on year, re
born I wake to larger life; to joy more great.
So many times have I been crucified,
So often seen the resurrection morn,
I go trimphant. though new Calvartes
wait.
Every man, every woman, who has
made use of life, and grown in nobility of,
character with the years, has been many
times crucified; many times nailed to the
cross of his own creation, and many times
has known the Joy of resurrection.
Little Bobbie's Ta'
By WC LIM F. KIRK.
Ta was awful good last nite. He
showed sum ladies & gentlemen the evils
of gambling. I guess thare wont be any
moar card gaims in our house. r
The way It was was this way: Pa was
jest putting on his sllpers & his bathrobe
after dinner wen Ma sed Husband, we are
going to have cumpany aggenn tonlte.
Ageea tonlte? sed Pa... Yes., sed Ma,
aggenn tonlte.
Oh. well, ted Pa, oh, well. Pa sighed
& looked kind of sad.
What are you sighing about? sed Ma.
These is perfeckly luvly peepul, Mister
& Missus Llnd & two of Missus Llnd's
gurl trends. They are cumming up to
play poker.
To play what? sed Pa. To play poker,
sed Ma. Have you anny objeckshuns?
It la only going to be a llttel galm that
Missus Llnd has Invented, she calls it the
mill galm. Eech of us is to talk one
hundred cents worth of chips, but wa
only pay one tenth for. the chips," ten
cents. One tenth of a cent is a mill, bed
Ma, doant yotf understand?
Then Pa sighed sum moar. Tcs, I un
derstand,, he sed. Wan does the or-gy
beegin? Jest, wen Pa was talking thare
calm a knock at the door & in calm
Mister & Missus Lind & her two gurl
frends. Missus Llnd & the gurls was
pritty, but Mister Llnd was awful llttel
alongside of Pa, he looked kind of scared.
All of them started asking rite away wen
the galm was going to begin, & Pa sed
to me. Bobble, I want you to sit nea
my chair this eevning & watch this gaim
they call the "mill gaim." Watch my
hands, sed Pa, A notls the way I play
them. You are growing up, Pa ted, &
sum day you will be a man. I doant
want to ewer think that my son will bee
cum a poor poker player. All the munny
I maik. Pa sed, I am going to put in
yure llttel pig bank. & then the galm
beegan.
There was only one good player in the
gaim, that was Pa. He worked harder
than the rest, beekaus he had to work
harder. He had one pack of cards on
the table to talk care of, & a other pack
beehlnd his coat tails on the chair, & a
other pack on his knee, I saw It all the
time. Onst in a while Pa wud not stay
in the pot, they called it the pot, & every
time he wasent in the pot he was all the
time fixing up the deck on his knee or the
deck beehlnd his coat tails. I knew It
was kind of coarse work, eeven if I am
only a llttel boy, but thay all cuddent
see it, &. after the gaim was neerly oaver
Pa had most of the chips. The ladles was
all git ting kinri of mad at Pa & at each
other, & Ma got the maddest of all, bee
kaus every time Pa dealed the cards she
wud have a good hand & Pa wud have
a better one.
Wen the game was oaver nobody sed
a word excep Pa. He took his nine piles
of chips, a dollar a pile, & sed to the
banker: Here, Miss Polly, cash these In
It is Just nine hundred mills.
So the lady gaiv Pa ninety cents & I
put it In my big bank, but If Pa ewer
needs any part of It he can have it, bee
kaus be la a good fellow.

in Our Youth
We build our crosses in early youth; our
crosses of mistaken ambitions, and false
pleasures; of self -centered hopes; or of
idleness, and love of ease. i
Then come the relentless years; and
they tie us to our cross, and nail, us upon
it, and they leave us there until we die.
Until even this self comes forth only
to be again crucified,
and agan resurrected,
and finer self.
and again buried,
to a still higher
Whatever you are suffering today,
whatever despair, disappointment, think
of it as a crucifixion of some lesser and
baser part of your multiple, self, which
is to be followed by a resurrection of the
real self; the real you: strong, and wise,
and brave, and made more useful and uni
versal by this experience.
And just In proportion to your accept
ance of this truth, which life is endeavor
ing to teach you, will be lessening o your
crucifixions. (
Once the lesson is perfectly learned, the
teacher does not ask its continual repeti
tion. When the Illumination comes and
your old self is dying upon the cross, you
will lift your eyes and say, "It is fin
ished," and then the spiritual you will be
bomt to live evermore in the light of
knowledge of power and love.Mopyrlght,

In the death of Haroun Al Randild
1.003 years ago today June T, K-th
world lost one of the finest intellectual
ornaments and one of the sturdiest moral
forces It had ever
poosesed. If Intelli
gence, fraternity
and justice are the
foundations of true
civilisation, then
Uarotm Al Raschld
deserves to stand
for all time among
the greatest of civil
isors. Ills court at Bag
dad was the center
from which radiated
knowledge, charity
and fnlr play; and
the Christian world of today little realises
how much It owes to the noble old
"heathen" who dwelt In such magnifi
cence on the banks of the Tigris.
Wonderful In a far more useful way
than he Is depicted In the "Arabian
Nights" was Haroun Al Rachld. In a
time of intense bigotry and crueltry he
was tolerant and merciful. In an age of
deepest Ignorance and the most stupid
Indifference to every form of Intellectual
enlightenment, he was deeply Interested
In learning, and used every energy at his
command for the el initiation of the super-

etltlon that degrades and finally destroy
the powers of the mind.
While Christian Europe lay in the
shadow of Its aemmlngfy emmedlceble
Ignorance, Bagdad and the ether centers
of Mohammedanism were cultivating the
sciences out of which were to come the
world's mental resurrection.
While the Christian teachera were as
serting the flatnesa of the earth, the Mo
hammedan pedagogues of Bagdad and
Cordova, Seville and Alexandria, were
teaching geography in the common
schools from globes.
And while in Iiondon and Paris they
were practising the old theological medi
cine and professing to cure men's Ills
through the agency of charms and trlnk
lets, In the great Messopotarhlan capital
they were treating the sick upon the
principals of science and common sense.
So great was the fame and efficiency
of Al Raschlld'e medical school at Bag
dad that the great and mighty Charle
magne prohibited any person from prac
tising any medicine without a satisfac
tory examination before its faculty. Un
der Joshua ben Nun the University of
Bagdad actively promoted the translation
of Greek works Into Arabic, and It Is
said that almost every day camels laden
with volumes of Greek manuscript wert
entering the gates of Al Rasohid's city
' Speaking of Charlemagne, truth com
pels us to say that as between the Bag
dad Callif and the greatest of Europeai
kings tho former was much the flnet
man. At the time that Charlemagne
was using fire and sword against all
who would not accept the theological
beliefs he had sworn to defend Haroun
Al Raschld was protecting Charle
magne's subjects In the full exercise of
their religion. Despite the rancor of his
great theological enemy, Al Raschld did
him the courtesy to send him the keys
of the Savior's sepulcher simply because
he knew that Charlemagne desired the
possession of them.
It is very pleasant to think of tho
grand old man of Bagdad; though it la
anything but pleasant to recall the fact
that what he did for the human ad
vance Is, even to this day, but Imper
fectly acknowledged by the Christian
world.
Of course, Haroun Al Raschld was a
polygamlst, but that was a part of his
religion. Polygamy was not a part of
Charlemagne's religion, and yet the
greatest of Christian kings had nine
wives and a great many sweethearts.

LIFE WASTE IN CHICAGO
J
Chicago has the equivalent of the
Titanic disaster every month, says iht
weekly bulletin of the department of
health.
More than 1,400 preventable deaths art)
marked against Chicago for every month '
of the year, according to the bulletin.
Both death lists are declared a needless
waste of life by the health authorities
In a plea for greater protection againat
the ravages of curable diseases.
"Governments of the world will prob
ably enact sweeping legislation for tha
safeguarding of life upon the high seas,"
asserts the bulletin. "This action s
needed. Lives must not be needlessly
sacrificed on the seaa. But what about
the 1,400 people who just as needlessly
lose their lives in Chicago every month. '
It is so common to hear of the thousands
of deaths from tuberculosis, pneumonia,
typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever and
other preventable diseases that people
fall to realise the enormity of life wasto
on the land."
According to a diagram map prepared
by the health department, there were 32.
572 deaths from all causes In Chicago
during 1911. Of this number. 13,500, or 40
per cent of the deaths were caused by
preventable diseases.
Health authorities assert that of tha
fifteen cases of smallpox now under care
at the Isolation hospital, all are thero
because of neglect of vaccination. Ten
of the cases are children under 7 years
of age and the health bureau charges
their parents with criminal negligence -for
failure to have them vaccinated.
The department also warns all ChJ- ,
cagoans that they must combat sickness .
and disease with cleanliness. The bulletin
says:
"If you are still maintaining dirty
premises we give you just one week of :
grace to clean up. Then look out!" .
