THE FANCIED EXPERIENCE OF A
WORLD.

A little world inhabited by men
Had swung for ages round its central sun,
Until its people came to know all stars
Within their range of vision.
Each they named and weighed and measured,
Computed with their spectroscopes
What metals burned in this and what in that.
Until their wise men thought they knew it all.
No wonder was there but they told its law
AL things from nebule they formed.
And all reduced to system,
Until they lost all sight of God
And said He principle
Held helpless in the grasp of changeless laws
Which He as well as others must obey.
The future of their race was all laid out
By these wise scientists, and cut and dried,
Until one day God laughed at the little fools
And sent His messenger to fetch them.
Then from out distant part of space,
Never conceived by that puny world,
A roaring comet, of stupendous size
Rushed with a swiftness indescribable,
And passing Close within some million leagues
Lashed with its fiery tails that saucy world,
And, sucking it away from its old sun,
Whirled it, as in derision through the void.
And dragged it flaming past some thousand stars
For all to wonder and to marvel at
Then flung it far out into vastly space
Where no sun was. where no light came,
And there it turned into black ball
And froze till God found better use for it.

that several of the signers. while sympa-

were little timid or hesitating about sign

as principals in the revolt in case the revolt
be unsuccessful. Not so with Hancock.

WHY the Chinese Should Go.

Of all the curses our too free emigra-

Chinese is the worst. Some say the recent
law excluding them is unjust and savors Of

Blair lat which the Chinese government

He says:
From the moment l saw that Seething,

The extent to which opium is used
through the west and especially on the
coast is a terrible thing to contemplate.
The "hOp fend'' is most familiar object.
In San Francisco they are seen everywhere,
the highest as we'll as the lowest using the
drug-even to the messenger boys who are
sent to purchase it from the Chinese store.
One San Francisco paper stated not long
ago that even the children in the schools
