Glowing tlio sun In its golden declining,
Hushed Is tlio world nt tlio twilight's bwcoI voice;
Gcntlo the murmur of dusk na it linger,
Soft Is the rhythm ns night winds rejoice.
Fading thcsun in lis wondrous reclining
'Deep in the arms of the far western skies;
EndleFB tho chorus when dark brings Its music
Afterglow song in the hush when light dies.
Low Is the whisper of night in tho grasses;
Kndless new worlds hero nt evening rejolco.
So ago and tlmo grow more kind for tho knowing,
Darkness still pulses with music's sweet voice.

"Ooodby. I'm going awav going to a

poor house,
livarymr of the
n 1 1 r n t sorrowful
neighbors knew
her story. They talked about It after
the almshouse van rattled Up nnd
had taken her and her tittle bundln of
belongings away. Hhe was the widow of
a builder who "had ntado wood money
In his 'time," but who "drank and went
to pieces nt tho Inst." That had been
heard whenever Iter jiamc was mentioned
for five years. Her old friends were
dead, her few remaining relatlvrs were
distant, both In charity and relationship.
And the almshouse wagon was creaking
nnd tattling her away to the Inevitable.
The neighbors atood about and talked
(or a few minutes about the widow's
pasting from Clrlmea' alley.
"She told me herself 'twas her own
fault. v8ho wasted It while she had It,"
said tho baker's wife.
"It's hard, whoever'a tho fault for n
woman of 71 to go to the poor house,"
Bald the butcher's wife.
"He should have left her an Insurance,"
aid the baker.
"He did, but only enough to bury hhn,"
a Id the butcher. "Ito had taken out n
blg Insurance, but they let It lapso wheh
hard times struck him."
"Up drank toward the last when things
were going against them," ealtl the
baker's wife, who was pitiful.
"Out she told me she had wasted when
they hsd plenty," said tho butcher's wife,
who was so Just that the neighbors
thought her hard.
"She said they alweys had tho best of
food and the best of clothes and lived us
near as they could to Fifth avenue, and
that she never put anything iby."
"She never thought ft would be dlf.
ferent," sighed tho baker's wife, and .the
denliens of Orimes' alley went back to
their tasks. The oldest woman In the
alley was gone and It seemed alio was
already forgotten. Only that evening

Man builds his towers of stone, his modern cliff dwellings of iron and glass the child builds a fort of sand on the sea

The stone castle crumbles, the city sinks below the ground and is forgotten. Man can build only cne thing that
endures in the individual or in the race, and that is CHARACTER.
CHARACTER IS THE ONE THING WORTH CULTIVATING
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
Three hundred and fifty-five years ago,
November 17, 1658. Bloody Mar' went to
her reward, and the Princess Elisabeth'
went to Westminster Abbey to bs
crowned queen of England.
Elizabeth was tS
years of age when
she ascended tho
throne, and for
forty-five years she
was to preside over
the fortunes of the
"tight little Island."
guarding tt against
its enemies at homo
and abroad, and
laying the founda
tions for the vast
and mighty domln
1 o n which today
girdles the globo
with possessions and its powers.
A greater sovereign than Elizabeth
never sat upon & throne. Clear-headed,
courageous, abounding In patience and
hope, and patriotic to the core, ahe was
always adequate to the occasion, and
failed in not a stngle one of the many
great responsibilities that she was called ,
upon to face. Often tried, sho was never
denied, and at the apex of her splendid
work she stood ready to he tried again, i
It is no wonder that Englishmen are
proud of Elisabeth: for Englishmen are '
well aware of the fact that but for what (
Elizabeth did there would be no England
today. Wnen Elizabeth mounted the
throne the very life of the nation was tn
peril. The mightiest powers end most
subtle forcea cm the planet were In league
for Its destruction. The word had gone
forth that "England murt be destroyed. i
and already preparations were being mads
for making the word good. But the con
spirators did not reckon upon the wonder
ful woman who was to confront them tn
their plot against England and the
human race, j
Firm as a rock stood the great quaes, (
and against her resolute patriotism the
plans of the enemy were broken to pieces. '
Ever alert and always true as steel, Elisa
beth beat down the foes of England as
often as they showed themselves. It took
thirty years for these foes to develop
what they hoped and believed would be
the master-stroke, but the great queen
beat back the "Invincible Armada" and
the worst was over England was safe,
liberty was safe, the future of humanity
was safe, and the English queen had won
the deepest gratitude of all the ages.
For had Philip succeeded in crushing
Elizabeth, the hands on the clock would
have been set back thousands of years.
The holiest interests of humanity were
at stake-freedom, the right to think and
speak; tha right to be one's self, the right
to strive for progress tn science, and in
all the other things that make for the
true, good and glory of humanity and tt
was Elizabeth and her brave and devoted
Englishmen who caved the day for Eng
land and for the world.
Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX ,
Yon Must Decide.
Dear Miss Fairfax: My case is a sad
one. I am In love with a girl three years
younger than myself. I have always
been treated nicely by her parents and
brothers till two months ago. I am a de.
tectlve, and found out that my girl's
brother was dishonest. I had to do m"
duty and I did. He was to be imprisoned
for one year. I, having a pull, had his
sentenced reduced to five months. fJow
her folks won't have me near the house.
But the girl and I are still meetlhg. She
tells Jne to change occupation or look for
another girl.
A DISAPPOINTED DETECTIVE.,
That Is a question you must decide for
yourself, and your decision will depend
solely upon how much you love the girl.
If you change occupations to pleas
her, be manly enough to express no
regrets. Be satisfied that ahe la worth
the sacrifice.
Don't Try It.
Dear Mlsa Fairfax: I am a young man
of 17 and deeply in lovo .with a girt of 12,
who, I have every reason to believe, re
turns my affection. Although I have
never spoken to her. I am sure from
her actions that she loves me.
How do you think 1 ahpuld go about
gaining her acquaintance? A READER.
Five years' difference is of no account
when a man and woman are of. mature
age. hut you are only 171 If I tell you
that you are only a boy and too young
to know what, love means, you will be
offended, but tho day Is not far oft when
ou wilt agree with me. Postpone love
making a few years.
If Hair Is Turning
Gray, Use Sage Tea
Don't look old! Try Grand
mother's recipe to darkea ud
beautify faded, lifeless hair.
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Tour hair la your oh arm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray, atreaked and looks dry, whlapy and
straggly, just an application or two of
Sage and Sulphur enhances Its appear
ance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonlo; you
can get from any druc store a M cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy." ready to use. This can
always be depended upon to bring back
the natural color, thickness and lurtr
of your hair and remove daadrnff, stop
scalp Itching and falling hair.
Everybody usea "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because tt darkeaa so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It hat
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through the hair, taking one email
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application It beoomea beantl roily dark
and appears giosay, lustrous and atom
