A CONTRAST.

Two nen toiled side by sidc from sun to sun,
And both were poor;
Both sat with children, when the day was done,
About their door.
One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud
And shining moon;
The other, with his head in sadness bowed,
Made night of noon.
nsloved each tree and flower and singing bird
On mount or plain;
No Rusic in the soul OF one was stirred
By leaf or rain.
One saw the good in every fellow man.
And hoped the best;
The other marveied at his Masters plan,
And doubt confessed.
One, having heaven above and heaven below,
Was satisfied;
The other, disseminated, lived in woe,
And hopeless died,

diseased children Of the most wretched

Charity, so often with us cold and grim

hospital were gay with colored prints.
Flowers frightened the windows. In the
baths into which the grimy, scared babies
are c0a1ed on their entrance doated tiny
swans and ships with red sails to entice
and amuse them.
The doctors placed dolls and bonbops

TO A SEA VOYAGER.

The star that low on the horizon CLEANS,
Nay be the star that for the sailor shines,
That lights thy pa hway with its golden beams,
Touching with magic fire the ships dark
lines.
Mngling with sea spray till each small drop
throws
A dazzling point. Wrapping in mystery
The gray sea fog which, as the night wind
blows,
Moves restlessly across the stretch o; sea-
On either side the waste of water lies
Unfolding thee. The Land shuts out my sight:
Bu; that bright star within the eastern skies
Sends downward % US both ray of light.
The distance fades; love covers endless space;
Thought speeds on wings across the golden
track;
Two cleaning pathways through the night we
trace;
Our souls have met, ard brought the answer
back.

for client On one occasion in a trial for
burglary he cross-examined the policeman
who had been stationed inside of the house
to watch in anticipation of burglary, and
the policeman admitted that when he
heard the burglar fumbling with the lock
he quietly adjusted the door so that it
could be easily opened. Quick as fash
Spencer shouted, why, your honor, the
policeman is the real burglar, for he
opened the door" The result was that the
prisoner was convicted only of an attempt
at burglary.-San Francisco Argonaut.

DE YOUNG OR ESTEE.
WHICH SHALL KNOCK THE SEN
.ATORIAL PLUM?
The Estee Men Try to Get Caucus In
the Interest Of Their Candidate, but
De Young's Friends Head Them OF.

SAN Francisco, March II. The Chron-
icle's Sacramento special says Senator
Sprague OF Yolo, who Is one Of the most
active in the Estee fight, has circulated
call for a joint caucus tomorrow morn
ing at 8 O'Clock. The expressed object
OF the caucus is to discuss political mat
ters now before the legislature. This,
OF course, is understood to mean
the senatorial situation, and it was evil
IDENTIFY expected by the advocates of the
move that the other candidates would
not consent. The De Young men,
Dargie, Maher, Broderick and George
Fl. Williams, signed with such alacrity
that the promoters of the caucus took
alarm, and the first senator on the list,
Senator Heacock, of Santa Barbara,
scratched out his name. The De Young
men all stood firm, however, and will
go into caucus tomorrow morning ii the
necessary number Of legislators can be
obtained. Twenty senators signed, but
some OF these wrote opposite their
names the word INFORMAL" to show
that they did not regard the caucus
as binding. Speaker Coombs circulated
similar call in the assembly, but
the members of the lower house
took less kindly to it, and at late hour
tonight the paper is making its rounds
in quest OF signatures. Those who have
appended their names have taken care
that it shall be known that they regard
the caucus as informal.

A Bank-wrecker Convicted

New YoRK, March 1.-THE jury in
the case OF Simmons, the alleged wrecker
of the Sixth National bank, came in
this morning and reported that they
were unable to agree. Judge Benedict
sent them back and tonight they re-
turned verdict finding Simmons guilty
on the first count, that of embezzling
1922 900 worth of bonds, and recon-
mended him to the mercy of the court.
The prisoners counsel moved that the
verdict be set aside because of the i'm
proper act of Judge Benedict in stating
to the jury that the evidence against the
accused was conclusive. The judge said
this was an improper time to make
such motion, and Simmons was led off
to Jail.
