A PKAYER
When joy and laughter rock the
world
And children laugh on every side,
"When selfishness has been forgot
And handstand hearts are opened
wide,
And shoulders bend to help the
weak,
And hands reach out to guide
along t
The feeble ones, and all are kin,
And all the world is sweet with
song
When jealousies are pushed aside,
And envy finds no dwelling place;
When strong; and erst-aggressive
ones,
Lift up the-feeble in the race,
When beggars reap a harvest great
That make up for the year's scant
dole,
When men are moving heart to heart
And standing soul to soul
When it is joy to fare abroad,
And it is pleasure just to live,
And life's one bitter drop is that
Alas! we have not more to give!
We ask, O God, thy comfort for
The hearts bereft that grieve and
break,
For those no open hands may help!
Dear God! for the Redeemer's
sake!

miles, which is only six square miles
larger than the city of Baltimore.
But it is a happy little country, ly
ing near the Adriatic sea in the em
brace of the kingdom of Italy. Its
capital city is built upon a mountain
and is protected by walls. It has a
population of 11,002, many of whom
aro office holders. It has a little
army of 950 men and thirty-eight
officers. But there is no public debt,
the office holder's and soldiers seem
to be content with moderate pay, for
the public revenues are only $60,000,
out of which must be paid an army
of x. thousand men, including thirty
eight officers; sixty legislators and
two reigning captains. San Marino
has for sale cattle, wine and marble.
They seem to be a frugal folk. By
the treaty with the United States,
which they have just concluded, they
agree to deliver up to us any fugi
tive from justice who may take re

part agree to return the comiiimeiC

"ONE SAD DAY1

THE VANDEKBILT COACH
We read in c. advertisement of
the "Victoria Hotel in London that it
is the place
From where, (he Venture Coach,
driven by Mr. Alfred Vanderbilt, will
leave every , other morning for
Brighton (The Hotel Metropole).
The fare is reasonable only a
few shillings, with an extra charge
for a place on the box with, y ung
Mr. Vanderbilt himself, -whore el
bows and oyen shoulders may be
rubbed.
Small wonder that Mrs. Vander
bilt is about to divorce her husband!
He prefers a coach and four in stuffy
London to his home and ten thou
sand interests in the broad spaces of
his native land.
Vanderbilt is a sorry specimen pf
overbreeding. He chooses to drive a
coach as part of the advertisement
for a London hotel when he might
sit at the throttle of one of the great
est railroad sy-'eos in J'e world.

One sad day when the sun's gold

Jeweled the desolate, dreamy west,
I came with a burden and laid it
down
Under the lilies and leaves to rest;
And, weeping, I left it, and went my

,Qne sad day At was. long ago
And thorny the ways my feet have
pressed v
Since with tears and kisses I laid it
low
Soul of my soul, and life of my

And kneeling now in the dark to

There comes with a song from the
sunless west,
The same sweet voice that I heard
that day
The Silence whispering, "God

THAT DAY!
There was a pink and blue smell,
and listening, she heard a cool noise
in the garden, while before her eyes
came the delicate perfume of orchids.
Daintily she pulled the netals from
a cauliflower and fed them to the
silken-furred teakettle which coiled
cosily in her lap. The kettle gave
a short yelp of delight, and, look
ing up, she beheld the man coming
toward her.
He was lazily puffing at a frag
rant icicle. Then lie saw her, and,
drawing near, he gently stroked her
fair bent head with a pick-axe.
"How natural it all seems," she
"breathed.
Taking off her face, he looked at
it tenderly, and answered:
"Yes. It is the day of tariff re
vision." Puck.

THE AGE OP "LET US ALONE"
' The real origin of the motto "Let
Us Alone," which has recently come
into use in this country through the
act of the National Prosperity Asso
ciation that met in St, Louis, oc
curred nineteen hundred years ago.
It is recorded in the Gospel
according to St. Mark that
there was in a synagogue a young
man with an unclean spirit, who,
when he heard One teaching with
authority, and not as the scribes,
cried out: "Let us alone, what have'
we to do with thee? Art thou come
to destroy us?" Credit should be
given to the man with the unclean
spirit. The Outlook.
