Little one, my little one.
When first you walked alone,
Willi eager trust you kept your hands
Held out to grasp my own
Toward me was bent each step you took,
And by your anxious, pleading look
Your faith was sweetly shown.
Little one, my little one,
Since you are larger grown,
Forgetting to depend on me.
You run about alone
Yet when your little troubles rise
Ah, you return with tearful eyes,
And my protection own.
Little one, my little one,
In weakness I am prone
To crave His guidance, to depend
Upon His love alone
But when my Mop grow firm I let
My faith He sleeping and forget
All glory save my own.

Little one. my little one,
Your childish ways have shown
That I am weak, that I am still
A child, though larger grown;
In weal I boldly cope with men,
In woe I turn to Him again,
Afraid to walk alone.

November 1 I have decided today to
become coutented, whatever my earth

lately that any change will be wel

My crown Is in, my heart, not on my
head;
Not deck'd with diamonds and Indian
Inn.l
Nor to be seen my crown la call'd con

A crown It is that seldom kings enjoy.
So I am going to bo contented and
wear my unseen crown upon my heart,
knowing that few kings enjoy a like
privilege.

market, as Tom is certainly the very
dearest fellow In the world, even
though I say I should not have selected
him for a brother if I were ordering
one. Nor would I have chosen Orton
as a place of residence, preferring
rather to reside at Cambridge with my
presidential brother.
Orton is a mass of factory chimneys
which spell out the word commerce
every day in the week except Sunday.
I have never seen Cambridge, but I
imagine It a cloistered, ivy-clad colony
of ancient buildings faithfully guard
ing all the traditions of culture.
And so here is the problem which
Destiny has set mo, and which I can
solve only by putting my invisible
crown firmly on my heart.
Orton has one salient advantage; be
ina aiven over to commerce, it Is com
mercially situated; It is a seaport town.
There is a distinct Profit for a person
who loves sunsets and moon-rises; for
bit out of the town where the fac
tories have not yet penetrated there is
a superb stretca uetween mo sail
meadows and the sea. One can walk
directly Into tho very heart of the sun
setthe changing, mysterious heart of
the sunset which has always had a
.franco fascination for me. What a
wonderful picture I saw there the other
evening as I took my solitary stroll
along the "loud-sounding" sea! It waH
extreme low tide, and the Hand flats
lav In Ioiik. dark-brown reaches amidst
tranquil pools of water which reflected
faithfully the thousand brilliant colors
of the west. Far out at sen the waves
were breaking in a white line against
the dark, sharp lines of the sand. A
wholesome tang of salt was In the air,
which blow In freshly across the wide
expanse of delicate sapphire-tinted sea.
The sun had disappeared behind a
bank or rose-colored cloud, and no
words of mine can express the glori
ous symphony of golds and purples and
scarlets and pale-green aud radiant
blues, which changed and deepened
and brightened In tho sky, and threw
Itself deep down Into the peaceful
beauty of tho salt pools, ajnong the long
trotches of black sand. Such things
must be seen to be appreciated, but no
one can look upon such divine loveli
ness without becoming a better man, I
fntt aa if I bad been In church and had
heard the angels singing. When the
last triumphant note of color bad died
awar In tha deep sky and night was
settling down tranquilly over the sea
and tha meadows, I turned hack again
toward Orton with a feeling that my
crowa wa very flrmly lodged upon my
heart and tbat all Orton couldn't shaks
it off.
All Orton waa probably too busy to
try. The factory chimney were all
standing thick and tall and black
against the opal sky exactly aa I bad
last seen them when I turned my back
upon them for the sunset and forgot
them. Little golden talla of Are were
flickering and darting iroifl their
mouths, and I felt a great and sudden
compassion for the thousand tolling
men and women who were there at
work in those grim, gaunt buildings, so
far away from the glories of the sun
set I felt all the sorrier because 1
knew If by some sudden caprice on the
part of the boss a holiday might be
theirs, they would not waste It In tame
ly walking along the meadows by the
sea at sunset, but would fly to the bargain-counter
among the haunts of men.
What would they dath my leisure,
my well-to-doness rtainty of an
excellent dinnejyy ,1 of my long
walk, my -r.4 Jooka, my
The "loud-sounding sea."
thoughts? Not one of my beloved Ideas
would they adopt, and as I looked at
the thousand dancing little tongues of
flame I seemed to see the toil and sor
row and loss of all those who were less
fortunate than I, but who would never
know It, and the lust for gold seemed
to write itself all over the sky in those
flickering flames, and to cry down the
Klorious wonder of the great sun
which had set.
I felt of my crown in order to make
quite certain that it was still in my
heart, and then I fell into Hue between
the rows of prosaic houses and went
prosaically home to dinner. It is so
miuh easier to be prosaic when the sun
hag gone down and darkness is upon
the land, so I was not so shocked as I
might have been when Tom told me
triumphantly that the silver business
was booming awfully, and that an or
der for three thousand spoons had just
come In from Chicago.
Japi Find a New Island.
According to the Japan Times a new
island has been discovered in the Sea
of Japan. From a statement appearing
n the Nichi Nichi it appears that tne
island is situated at a point between
Ul-long-do Island, oft Korea, and the
Oki Archipelago, off the coasts of the
San-in-do, the distance from either
si te being 30 miles. No maps ever pub
lished contain any refernce to the isl
and, which is reported to be about two
miles in length and about the same
in breadth. It was about a year or two
ago that the inland was first discovered
by a fisherman of Kyushu, who found
the waters in its neighborhood full of
sea horses.
