JE. R. OUIMSLRIE lSO O St. 1 -w. The Volunteers' First Song. (The first number of the Volunteer Ga zette, Ballington Booth's official organ, contains this the first original song of the new organization: "Who'll be One?") Jesus lores a volunteer, Who'll be one? Who'll be one? Willing feet, with heart sincere. Is there none? Is there none? Faithful soldiers He doih need, Brave and true. Brave and true. Loyal both in word and deed, Why not you? Why not you? Calling now His ranks to fill, Heed the cry! Heed the cry! Yielding, answer "Yes, I will," Here am I! Here am I! Vict'ries on the banners wait. Yes, 'tis so! Yes, 'tis so! Marching in the pearly gate. You will know! You will know! Insulted. There could be no question that the "practical politician" was very indig nant. He was red with anger, and ac tually shook his fist in the capitalist's face. "What!'' he thundered, "you come to me to me! and seek to buy my vote for your infamous measure for a thou sand dollars? Why, I've half a mind to thrash you, right now, and then pub licly denounce you!" The capitalist calmly shook the ashes from his cigar and said soothingly: "Suppose we call it 95,000?" And the "practical politician" took off his hat and wiped his forehead, as he answered: "Ah! Now you're talking like a sensi ble man!" Yenowine'sNews. Genius It is now pretty generally admitted that Stephen Crane is a "genius.,' Mr Elbert Hubbard, writing for the Lotos, declares that he is such, and says that if pushed for a definition he would say that geniuB is only woman's intuition carried one step farther; that the genius knows because he knows, and if you should ask the genius whence comes this power, he would answor you (if he knew) in the words of Cassius: "My mother gave it me." Mr. Hubbard as serts that every genius has had a splen did mother, and avers that he couid name a dozen great men who were ush ered into this life under about the fol lowing conditions: A finely organized, receptive, aspiring woman is thrown by fate into an unkind environment. She thirsts for knowledge, for music, for beauty, for sympathy, for attainment. She has a heart-hunger that none about her understand; perhaps even her hus band does not comprehend. She prays to God, but the heavens are as brass. A child is born to her. This child is heir to all of his mother's spiritual desires, but he developes a man's strength and breaks the fetters that held her fast, The woman's prayer is answered. God heard her after all. She goes to her long rest soothed only by the thought that she did her work as best she could. But after a while, far away in the gay courts of great cities the walls echo the praises of her son, and men say, "Be hold, a Genius!"

And J said: "Ye have bereaven The song-thrush and the bee, And the fisher boy at sea Of his sea-mark in the even: And Gourds of human shade, to lie Within the sickle's sound; And the old sheep-dog's saffron eye Of sleep on duty's ground; And poets of their tent And quiet tenement. Ah, impious! who so paid Such fatherhood, and made Of murmerous immortality a car go and a trade." For the hewn oak a century fair A wound in earth, an ache in air. And I said: "No pillared height With a summer dais over, Where a dryad fled her lover Through the long arcade of light; Nor 'neatb Arcturus rolleth more, Since the bud leaves are gone, Between the shorn cliff and the shore, Pan's organ antiphon. Twas nameless envy fed This blow at grandeur's head; Some green reproach o'erdue, Degenerate men! ye drew, That for his too plain heaveuliness our Socrates ye slew."
