To-Day and Tomorrow.

Watching the gold and crimson
Fade 20 an amber light.
What did my heart keep saying.
As II listed the waves sweet hurnS
To-day Is thy time for working,
Tomorrow may never come"
What did the pale stars, dreaming,
Tell OF their thoughts 10 me,
As watched them glow and darkle.
From my nook by the sounding seaY
scatter the roses Of kindness,
Scatter them. love, today
Tomorrow is in Gods own wise hand
Tomorrow is far away"
To-day is the time, my laddis
To do thine action Of love;
To-day Is the time, my lassie,
To stay the feet that may row.
To-day Is "the time OF small things."

The Charitable Congressman.
From the Washington Post.


A good story is told by certain West
ern Congressman who came to this city the
first time officially at the opening OF the
present session. One night during the re-
cent rainy season the Representative was
walking along the avenue In the vlcln-
ity of Sixth street at very late hour. 1t
was raining hard, the cable cars had stopped
running for the night, and there were few
neople on the streets The Congressman
was hurrying to his hotel, tightly grasping
an umbrella, which was pulled down over
his shoulders. As he neared Sixth street
he noticed an elderly little woman standing
ON the corner, heavily bundled up and
holding IA WORKOUT parasol over her head
As he approached the woman she said
'sMistcr, will you please tell me how to
get to Georgetown I'm a stranger IN the
city and want to 90 to my sons house.
aGeorge,ownr exclaimed the Congress
man; "why, my good woman, you are two
or three miles from there and the cars have
stopped running. You had better take a
cab.
SIS it so far as that p inquired the poor
woman. 'sThen I'll have TO walk, for
have no money" and she sighed heavily as
she drew her thin shawl more tightly over
her shoulders.
The lawmakers heart was touched. lie
probably thought of one of his own family
in similar predicament Diving into his
trousers pocket, he said
'sI.et me assist you, madam. Here are
two dollars. Now you walk over to the
depot and hire cab to take you to your
sons house.
He pressed the money into the woman
wet hand and hurried on his way, while
she murmured. "God bless you, kind sir.
Three nights afterwards, about the same
hour, the same Congressman was again
walking along the avenue 1t was clear,
cool night, and being engrossed in a deep
study he did not know anybody was near
him until the figure of IA woman stood IN
his path, and he heard her say;
.'Please, sir, can you tell me the way to
Georgeto--?
CHANGING at the features of the speaker,
the Congressman at once recognized the
woman he had befriended few nights be-
fore, and as he cast a frowning glance at
her, he said
Good Lord, woman, haven't you found
your son yet? Well, you just wait Tor
some other idiot to come along. I've been
there once.

Fined a Dead Man.


Down in southwestern Texas, just about
midway between Houston in the east and
I'll Paso in the west, and very near 10 the
Rio Grande, the Southern Pacific railway
has built over the Pecos river the highest
bridge in the United States. Just before
this bridge was flushed one OF the work
men fell from it and was Of course killed.
The county judge was brought from
I1angtry, the town nearest to the bridge,

arrived with n great eoncourse OF people
all anxious to serve on the jury. Pro-
ceedipgs were begun by examining the
body of the dead man. Upon this were
found loaded revolver and $40 in cash.
Perceiving this, the judge said
gThefe amt nothing to do about this
ease, gentlemen of the jury. The mans

his death. But what | want to know Is,
what was he doing with that gun? That's

When was in the wood Today
The golden leaves were falling round me,
And Thought heard soft voices say
Words that with sad enchantment bound me.
o, dying year! o. flying year,
o. days Of dilnness, nights of sorrow
o. lessening light o. lengthening night
o. morn forlorn and hopeless morrow:
No bodies visible had these
Whose voices heard so sadly calling;
They we've the spirits OF the trees
Iamenling for the bright leaves fal'n;'
The light leaves rustlcd on the ground.
Wind stirred aud when again hehrSeneh
flushed were those voices. Wide around
