The Last Shall Rc Ftrst.

Who would not haste to do some ighty thing, If safe occasion gave it to his hand, Knowing that at it's close his name would ring, Coupled with praises, through grateful land? Who would not hear with joy some great com
 mand,
 Bidding him dare to earn a glorious name? The task is easy that secures us fame. But ahl how seldom comes the trumpet call That stirs the pulse and fills the veins with
 flame,
 When victory asks fierce effort, once for all, And smiling fortune points way to fame Along some path of honor free from bl ,me. To one, the call to do great deeds speaks loud, To one, amid a vast unhono ed crowd. Far otherwise the common lot of man. Our hourly toll but Seeks the means to live; , 'ur dull mouotonous labor knows no plan Save that which stern necessity doth give. Our earnings fill an ever leaking sieve; Our task fllflied, another still succeeds, And brief neglect brings overgrowth of weeds. What wonder, then, if suffering men repine, And hopelesSneSS gives way to mad despair? Some murmur at, yea, curse, the scheme divine That placed them where the saws of fretting
 care
 Across their brows deepening channel wear For them no Springtime speaks of hope renewed, But changeless wintry skies above them brood. Oh fools and blind This world is not the goal, But shapes us for larger world unknown; The vilest slave that keeps patient soul Shall yet rank higher than the sensual drone Who seeks to please hts worthless self alone. If humblest toll be hardest, yet be sure, He most shall merit who can most endure.

 Reports from Nebraska. Iowa, Kansas, Dakota, Oregon, Washington and Cali fornia are that all the indications point to a phenomenally early spring, and it is re- marked that the farmers are making great preparations on the strength of the indica- tions. In North Dakota they are sowing wheat and barley, and ploughing is being done in many parts of Kansas. If the present weather continues all crops in. North Dakota will be in the ground nearly a month earlier than usual. In the Walla Walla Valley, Washington, and in western Oregon crocuses and hyacinths have been in bloom for couple of weeks, ilacs were in bud week ago, and cherry and peach trees will be in full blossom soon.

 Is marriage failure? By some Scotch statistics recently published it appears that, in the five years of life between the ages of 20 and %, the mortality of unmarried men is 1,174 in 100000, and of married men only 597. From 25 to 30, the numbers re- spectively are 1, ,396 and S65. These figures, az above indicated, are derived from the death registry of Scotland, but the pro- portion of the bachelor to the benedict death rate is believed to be about the same in this country. Taking the whole of the married men and the whole of the unmar- ried men, from the age of 20 to the close of life, it is computed that the lives of the former average 594 years, while those of the latter average only 40 years-a differ ence of 194 years in favor of married men; that is, marriage increases the average duration of mans life by one-half, lacking six months

The Clemenceau Case.

Miss Atkinson was at her best last
night in the role of liza, in the French
play, The Clemanceau Case. Her con-
ception of the part was the true one
that of beautiful young girl, some
what vain and foolish but not bad at
heart. who was formed and fashioned
by scheming, heartless mother whom
she loved into, bold and designing
woman, devoid of moral sense and
full of guile and all sensual attractions;
one who loved her husband up to her
full capacity, but who preferred to be
his mistress rather than his wife, i'll
order to escape wife's restraint
Miss Atkinson's acting was finished as
well as full Of power, portraying in
life-like manner the commingled and
changed feelings and emotions of her
part.
There was nothing in the presenta-
ton Of the play that could offend the
public taste or be detrimental to its
morals; it being, on the other hand, n
powerful obiect-lesson sermon on the
dangers and temptations Of the woald,
the flesh and the devil.-Evening Item,
