At that sweet hour when poets dream,
When all i hushed around.
And earth, and air, and ocean seem
In solemn stiffness bound,
At that sweet hour when the sun
Is seeking his soft rest,
And far DER hill and dale glides on
To slumber in the west.
At such an hour in other chimes
From childhood's scenes afar,
Nethinks thou1t often watch betimes
For ono bright, friendly star,
And thou wilt sadly think and sigh
When last it met thy gaze;
Twas meath another, dearer sky,
In brighter, happier days
And should, psrchance, some gentle strain
OF music, soft and low,
Come stealing on thy ear again
That cheered thee long ago,
How sad and lonely wilt thou feel,
Tho kindred hearts be nigh,
And DER thy soul sweet thoughts viii steal
Thou'lt weep, yet scarce know why.
Yet weep not. Grieve not. It's in vain:
Such is the lot Of all:
We know 10 pleasure without pain
Nor can the past recall
Be thankful God hath blest thee so:
Still, shouldst thou pine and sigh
For pure and perfect bliss to know,
Hope pointeth to the sky.

ready to do this work at a fair price for

The representatives Of the Southern kan-
sas having shown that the route
first laid out by the preliminary
survey was one of difficult construction. the
Secretary took into consideration the idea
of considerable detection to the east of
the first location. This threw the line
within the Oklahoma country. and. the
reasons for the change being apparently
sufficient. with none Of any weight against
Ii, Mr.. Lamar finally sanctioned the build
ing Of railroad through the whole length
OF the Oklahoma country from north to
south, and some forty miles east Of the
first surveyed route Of the Southern Kan

coveted Oklahoma land to settlement hy the

discretion exercised by the secretary in this
instance lays the foundation for granting
right OF way through Indian land by ex-
ecutive action.

A Great War Impending.

All the news from abroad indi-
Gates the near approach of the
greatest international conflict
known to history. The burning
Eastern question is about to be re-
opened, and Russia will again en-
leavor to drive the Turkish Sub
lime Porte out of Europe and cap
ture Constantinople. This war If it
commences will probably involve
every continental power. So far
MS can be foreseen, Russia's only
ally will be France, while Germany,
Austria, and England will be united
to beat back Eussia's advance on
Constantinople. England will have
her hands full in guarding the
frontiers of Hindoostan from the
southern march of the Muscovite
soldiers. The conflict in Central
Asia will open by the siege of Her
ut by Russia. For countless ages
that fortress has been the objective
point of all the military powers
which aimed at invading what are
now the British East Indies. 1t
has been looked upon as the open
door to the peninsula, the key of
the military situation in Southern
Asia. Should it fall, it will be Om-
inous to the British power in Asia.
Russia has one advantage over
Great Britain in dealing with
alien races. 1t is able to assimilate
with and absorb Il conquered peo-
pie. For nearly thousand years
the Russian has been steadily press
ing southwark, and as one race
after another was subdued they
have been incorporated into and
made part of the Russian people.
This is as true of the recent con-
quests in Central. and Southern
Asia, as it was when the Tartars
and Cossacks around the Caspian
Sea submitted to the authority of
the Car. England's policy has
been different; it has conquered
many nations in different parts of
the earth; but has never intermar-
ried with or treated as equal any
save those of its own Caucasian
race; hence the Englishman in In
dia is isolated, and the Hindoos look
upon him as an intruder and q
usurper. This is what will give
Russia the advantage, when the
fight takes place for the possession
of India.-DemOresFs Mouthly .fo,

The Indians Disappearing

The Rev. DR., Barrows has recent
ly published his views on the Indian
question as derived from a thorough
investigation made in the West in
the summer of 'S5. This investiga-
tion goes to prove that the Indians,
instead of increasing in numbers,
as lately reported by the Indian
Commissioners, are "wasting and
disappearing" In 1920, it was es-
timated by government official
that there was 425,766 Indians
within the boundaries of the Unit
ed States, and to this amount
must he added the number of In
dians in the territory since annexed.
According to the census taken just
then, the sum-total of all the In
dians within the present boundar-
ies in the United States at that
time was 526,592. Our last census
puts them at 55,93s, Alaska not in
cluded. The decrease, then, would
seem to be 16O,554. These figures,
especially the original estimate,
are extremely uncertain. DR.. Bar
rows proves that among the civiliz-
ed and semi-civiliZed Indians, the
falling off is 1000 per anum for the
last eighteen years. Allowing
these figures to be true, the increase
iflndeed there be such of the saw
age Indians, who number only so,
600, could not balance the loss
among the other 100000. He there.
fore concludes the Indians are
wasting away. This result may
have been inevitable; but one can
not but think that with our present
civilization, the showing should
have been better. 81 tremble fol

OleOnargarine.

The following are the provisions
of the law passed by the last Con-
gress.
The tax on wholesale dealer is
$3.50 per year, and retail dealers
SIS per year. The law goes into eff
feet the 3lst inst, but that day fall
ing on Sunday will make the time
November lst.
The law requires that all oleo-
margarine shall be packed by the
manufacturer in firkins, tubs or
other wooden packages not before
used for that purpose. The use of
tin in the packing and shipping of
oleomargarine will not be allowed,
except as the inner lining of wood
en- packages, and such packages
must be so combined in conStruc-
tior that when the wood and tin
are separated the packages will be
so injured in the process as to be
practically destroyed. Collectors
will not permit the use of any form
of wooden package having tin
lining for packing oleomargarine
unless sample of such package
has first been submitted to and APP
poved by the Commissioners of In
| tarpol Rnvanna
Any oleomargarine found in any
tin packages from which the outer
wooden case has been removed, will
be deemed to have been packed in
a package contrary to law, and
any one who sells, or offers for sale,
or delivers or offers to deliver such
Il package will be liable to a fine.
AS the retail dealer is required to
sell from original stamped pack
ages, and cannot, as a retail dealer
sell in such packages, he is compell'
ed to make up his own packages.
New wooden or paper packages
similar to those usually employed
in selling butter and lard at retail
may be used by II retail dealer in
oleomargarine. 1t is required that
each package shall be strong
enough to hold the oleomargarine
securely, with the exercise of ordi
nary diligence on the part of the
purchaser, until 1t is delivered a
the point of destination.
Each retailers wooden or papel
} package must have, beside the
name and address of the dealer
printed or branded thereon in let
