ONLY.
BY GEORGE ANDERSON.

Only little word
Whispered half sobbiugly under the
breath
But an echoed sweetnes to lull my soul
When pass the valley, DEATH
Only trusting heart,
Breathing an instant against my own,
But lasting JOY that will throb and
thrill
When the years are dead and gone.
Only an upturned face
With Loves own holy light imbucd,
But picture to float before my eyes
And make the world rose-hued.
Only tender glance
From eyes that are wet with sudden
But light to gild the clouds of care,
And brighten the toll OF years.
Only single kiss,
Beneath the moonlight's silver bars
But memory to swell the joy
Ofthe world beyond the stars.

A Bald Eagle Oh the War
Path.

The Columbia Ky Spectator
tells the following story of the ex-
ploits of one specimen of the proud
bird Of Columbia: A bald eagle on
the war path IS floating around
here about now. On Monday eve
ming it made an attack on little
son of Mr.. Nathan Butler, a gen.
tleman living miles from town,
and was with difficulty prevented
from inficting serious injuries, al
though the youth is some IL or 10
years Of age, and has almost half
the strength of a man. The " f
Pluribus Unum" bird evidently
meant business, as it made the Sc
cond and third attack before it was
scared away. 1t was the largest
ever seen in these parts, measur-
ing, probably, Z feet from tip to
tip of wing. Several shots were
fired at ii, but all went wide of the
mark, and the Eagle-Bird " still
lives, perhaps. to succeed better
the next time in its attempts to
rob some family Of its household
idols.

Life I'm the Present.

When nope cheers the present,
and acts as an inspiration to its
toll and goodness, then hope is a
good angel, but the moment it acts
as an Opiate upon the present, it
becomes as poison to the SOUL
Rather than worship her, we had
better deny the p: esent, and come
each morning with new homage.
"Now," Is an idea that should be
more deeply studied by those ca
pable of usefulness. The money
makers alone have fathOmed its
depth. They alone never put off
until Tomorrow what can he done
to-day. But the moralists and re-
ligionists, and the possible bene-
factors gaze only into the future.
All the great ideas of the earth are
postponed until their great
hopes deferred make the heart
sick. The arguments in favor of
the Now are sharp and short.
First: The morrow is uncertain.
The only sure thing for each one
is tomb in the grass. 1t may not
come next autumn, next winter,
next spring. It may come by a
sinking ship, burning church, or
a fever that shrouds the intellect,
or paralysis that stops the heart.
The probability that you will APP
proach death slowly and that your
good schemes will come up before
you In that hour for a wise adjust
ment, is only as one in fifty. Sec
Ond: The soul needs in these years
the education, the noble conscious
ness that comes from duty already
done. The intention to do right
things and noble things Is their
food for the soul. But when one
in the noon of life can already see
good works back of him, then his
present is forever free from empti-
ness, and the nobleness of yester-
day becomes part of the souls es-
sential character. What the mind
needs in the latter part of life is
the consciousness of having lived
the other parts well. Dryden says:
Tomorrow do thy worst, for /
have lived yesterday" The heart
that intends to do great deeds is in
great peril. If anything comes be-
tween it and its deeds it becomes
at once zero. 1t is like the Per-
sian Prince who divided his life up
into decades. The first decade was
fer travel, the second for govern
ment, the third for friendship, the
fourth for God. 1t was magnifi-
cent appointment, ut,everthrown
by an accident, he died in the first
ten years. But suppose life TO run
along and death to be far away,
what man most needs is that the
largest part of life should come
first, that all the subsequent years
may be lifted up by the strong
arm of the past. 1t is melancholy
to have the soul realize the great
ness of earth, when it is about to
leave earth forever.-DaUid Stoing.

A Chemical DiHculty.

A lively exchange tells the fol-
lowing story
One Of our merchants recently
sold block Of matches to wo-
man, who, on reaching her home,
could not make them burn. In a
towering passion, which increased
all the way back, she returned and
demanded:
why did you cheat me 50 with
those worthless matches "
'Matches!' responded the grocer,
pleasantly--for he always wears d
smile for customers-'what is the
trouble with the matches"
They won't burn, not one of
Them was the quick and angry
response
let us see,' replied the gentle
man, applying the charged end to
his pantaloons, causing them to
burn instanter that burns well
enough
But the rest WON'T she replied
who began to fear that she had
walked seven miles and Was to re-
turn seven more, on foot, and had
got ngry for nothing. The grocer
opened three punches and proved
them all the same.
Il don't want to burn up all your
Matches he said, but there is not
one that will not burn the same
way
Chagrined, she stared at him
with tiger eyes, and not to be beat
en-, burst out:
If they will, you don't suppose
every time want a fire ] am COM
ing all this way to rub them on
the seat of your trowsers, do yOu?'

Spiders as Weather Pro
nhpfS.

The Providence Journal says !:
The spiders were wise prophets
yesterday morning, for their woa-
derful instinct taught them that
the day would shine on their Cos
samer houses. Therefore they
spread their pretty lady NANTES
on the drenched grass End patient
~ waited for the storm TO pass
away. The morning broke with
a dreary outlook, but when we
saw these fairy structures spread
thickly over the lawn and hang
ing with dainty grace upon the
pendant branches Of fuchsia in
full bloom, we felt sure that the
little workmen knew what they
were doing. Neither were our
humble friends mistaken in their
calculations, and snugly sheltered
under their silyery tents they
doubtless enjoyed the sunshine
quite as well as the superior race,
whose perceptions in regard to the
condition of the elements are far
less delicate and reliable than the
instinct possessed by these insig-
nificant insects. We have watch
ed the lady mantles for many
years, and seldom have the spiders
proved false prophets.

A promising youth of nine sum
mers, in Western Massachusetts,
at a school recently relieved his
overburdened mind in the follow
ing strain:
"Lord of love look down from above
Upon us little scholars;
We have fool to teach our school
And pay her twenty dollars
And a further effusien Of talent
was suddenly stopped, as the pre-
cocious lad conformed to semi
circle over his teachers knee,
which position he occupied for five
minutes, to her great discomfort,
viewing the cracks in the floor.

The "Milk Train.'s

A little son of IA Waterbury, CT.
deacon, five years old, finds amuse-
ment in initiating train of cars
with his mouth and by shutting
his feet. While indulging in this
pastime OH Sunday he was told
that it was wrong TO do SO on tn
Sabbath.
"Oh, but this is the milk train!"
was his rejoinder
1t seems that milk trains are the
only ones that run Oh the Sabbath
through Waterbury.

The consumption of opium in
this country is steadily on the in
crease. In 1912 the cost of all the
opium imported into the United
States did not exceed $50 900, while
in 1874 it reached the enormous
sum of $3,000,00O. Alcoholic in

important has this trade become,
that the Chamber OF Commerce at
Frankfort has asked for an increase
of duty on the import of leather to
protect home manufacturers.
