Rev W. Fl. Holmes, of South Evanston.
Ills, is evidently man who can be dis
turbed by nothing less than an earthquake.
He was engaged in prayer ut Tuesday
evening meeting in his church recently,
when his 5-year-old son entered from the
parsonage next door and cried, Papa,
there's strange man in the house. The
preacher calmly went on with his appeal
to the throne Of grace and brought 1t to Il
proper conclusion before responding to the
boys alarm Meanwhile, however, three
OF the congregation had rushed out, done
battle with the burglar and put him to
fight,

than threescore Of the seventy eight years
Of his life, and had attained the highest
rank in the navy Of the United States aft
er a career distinguished by gallantry and
success, desired to achieve prominence in

Do you remember, sweet, that day We passed
Down that dim avenue where sungold beams
TreInbed thro' leaves thai mlrlnured in their
dreams
And waving rings across our pathway cast
Our velvet pathway, love, narrow, new grassel:
YOU slim and fearless, on your dapped mare,
Robed all in black; only your pale gold hair
Gave color To that dear dream of the past-
That and the soft sweet flush of throat and check
Your eyes were wet, think, and low and clear
Your words-but remember all you said.
Do you remember how tried to speak
And could not? Oh, do you remember, dears
Kind heaven. I had forgot that you were
