Loving Words.

Loving words will cost but little,
Journcying up the hi OF ife;
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, braver for the strife.
DO you count them only tritles?
What to earth are sun and rain
Never was kind word wasted;
Never one was said In vain.
When the cares of life are many,
And it's burdens heavy grow;
For the ones who walk beside You,
If you love them tell them so.
What you count OF little value,
Has an almost magic power;
And beneath cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like flower.
SO, rs up llfe's hill We Journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words, to be as sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word, my brother,
AS along through life you go,
TO the ones who journey with you;
If you love them tell them SO.

Does anyone know what's in your heart and
mine,
The sorrow and song,
The demon of sin and the angel divine
The right and the wrong,
The dread Of the darkness the love of the
day
The ebb and the flow
OF hope and doubt forever and aye
Does anyone know9
Does anyone dream Of the love that is yours,
The heart that is mine;
The depth and the width Of the cup that
each pours
OF rich red wine;
OF hate that is dark as the midnight of grief
The anguish and woe,
The dark clouds Of halting and blind unbe-
lief,
Does anyone know?
Does any one see what we have In the heart
To love and to hate;
OF life's every motive an intricate part
.. OF chance and Of fate;
The mem'ry Of kisses Of starlig ght, OF songs,
OF roses and snow,
OF women's sweet eyes Of prayers and
wrongs,
Does anyone know2
Does anyone hearken to musi, Of bells.
And the sigh Of the sea,
And the whisper of woodlands that murmurs
and swells
For you and for me;
The sound Of fond voices that ever respond,
In tones soft and low,
To the prayer we are breathing into the be-
yond,

suppose, said a railroad man, "where
a magnate wrote to farmer to move
mis- barn off the railroad land, and the
writing was so poor that no one could
read it, and the farmer used the order
for pass, the signature being recog-
nized by the conductors. | do not know
how true the story is, but ! will tell
YOU similar instance, the truth of which
swear to. When Judge Grinnell was
receiver of the Iowa Central Road a man
wrote to him for pass, stating no rea-
sons why he shoud d have one. The
Judge became indignant and personally
wrote to the applicant, giving him a
mild roasting. No one could make out
what the letter meant, but with the
Judge signature attached it was CON
,idered as an annual pass, and was used
as such for nearly nine months. l have
