Personal Note BY Editor.

We have travelled few miles in our life,
time, and know what it is to be uncom-
fortably housed in poorly upholstered
car and rudely tossed up and down on old
iron rails that are laid on dirt road bed.
We have been there; but it was always on
other roads than the Santa Fe. Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is hard
to beat. The rails are of heavy Steel the
track smooth and -ballasted; and the
through ''Cannonball' train that flies at
fifty-miles-p er-hour speed over this ele-
CANT roadway is as pretty a bit of work
manship as Messrs. Pullman ever turned
out. Each yestibule sleeper is a model o
luxury, and as easy as a cradle. Cha
cars, library cars, and day coaches are
carefully adapted to the travellers ev
want. The Santa Fe is rightly nam
b most comfortably line"

A SONG FOR TO-DAY.

Groweth the morning from gray TO gold;
Up, my heart, and greet the sun!
Yesterdays cares are tale that Is told,
Yesterdays tasks are a work that Is done
Yesterdays failures are all forgot,
Buried beneath the pillows of sleep;
Yesterdays burdens are as they were not
Lay them low in the soundless deepl
Share thy crust, and ask ne dole;
Offer the cup thou wouIdst never drain;
Only he who saseth his soul
Loseth All tina: he fam would gain.
Smile with him who has gained his day;
Smile the gladder, Il ct thy cost;
1t was his 10 do and thine TO aspire,
1t is his today who loved the most.
Pluck the flower that blooms at thy door.
Cherish the love that the DAY may send:
Cometh AZ hour when all thy store
Nsinly were offered for flower or friend
Gratefully take what life offereth:
Look 70 heaven, nor seek reward
So shalt thou find. come hfe. come death.
Earth and sky are in sweet accord.
