"a HUNDRED YEARS TO CONE"
1--WE all within our graves shall sleep,
A hundred years to come; @
No living voice for US will weep,
A hundred years to come.
"Well, be it so, we'll not be sad
Concerning days to come,
But try to leave the world more glad,
Because it was our home.
Sing on, fair Hope! that men shall see
The broad earth shine on liberty,
Its naked clothed, its hungry fed,
Its weak and weary comforted,
"a hundred years to come"
Sing that the "Bright and Morning Star
Shall light all pagan gloom,
Sing that there snall be no more war,
"A hundred years to come" s
Sing the Saloon forever crushed,
The violence Of cities hushed,
And men and children glad and gay,
Reaping the truth we sow to-day,

God, by His strength I was able to refuss

life that is beyond the conception Of many.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AS TO ALCOHOL.

is far less need for alcoholics. The appett-

the little ones. Is there no spark OF

No The tiger of the forest, the

we'll, who were all men of that district
and whose lined descendants are living
there today. The present aicalde of
the village of Palos bears the name of
Prieto and is indisputably lineal de-
scendant OF that Prleto who was alcalde
in 1892 and who saw Columbus weig h
anchor and set sail for the unknown
west.
This evening formal announcement
Of the beginning Of the festivities will
be gwen by heralds going about the
streets with trumpets and cymbals.

correspondent this evening that Mr..
Gladstone has made up MS mind to an
nounce certain appointments which
will be sure to cause sensation. He
has long felt it unfair that Englishmen
should absorb all the Offices and he
would prefer to have representatives of

the informant, decided to ap-
portion few Offices to the
Irish leaders. Arthur OConnor will
be offered post as civil lord of the
admiralty anu Mr.. Sexton will receive
the appointment Of Irish secretary, but
