Christmas Eve? The sounds came
nearer. Full, strong, melodious-deep-
~ impressive.
Stranger that l had ever been to
religion and its emotions. it was
odd how, when l came to Rome, q faint
suggestion of something akin to them
had gradually stolen into my being. I
think the music in the churches did it,
and many times would have gone in
to listen. perhaps to pray, had known
how, and had l dared. My husband
was a scoffer.
The singers approached until could
almost hear some of the Latin words.
1t seemed miraculous even to myself
that they should affect me rs they
were doing. l strained my ears to
catch the prayer. Strange it would
have been ut any moment that 1t should
have so fascinated me, but now most Of
all strange when my blood was red
hot with fury and passion; and when
revenge for all my wrongs was lying
within my grasp! Was it intercession
from above, an intercession for his
life? It struck me so at the moment!
Only later did ! see, perhaps, that it
was an interccssion on my behalf also,
but at the time Inever thought of this,
and spared him. paused no longer.
Turning my back resolutely on the
temptation, stole away up the stairs,

THE CHORUS or THE SKIES.

the CHORUS OF The SKIES.
In the cleaning Of the day
Ere the sunlight fades away.
When the softly signing breezes murmur low.
And a stiffness seems to fall
With the shadows one and all.
Have you watched the swelling pillows come
and go.
When retreating from the shore =
And you see 1t nevermore.
Do you think the billow ceases to exist.
Nay: 1t rolls and fosms away
Till it moiStens with its spray
Some far land beyond the dim horizons mist.
Or. perchance. you sit alone
Where the somber piAe trees moan.
Close beside a woodland lake in miniature; ;,
Not ripple sti- its face:
On the earth there Is no place
More secluded. or more beautiful and pure.
But a cone from some high tree.
From its bondage severed free.
Falls with splashing in the center Of the lake:
And the circling ripples move
In an ever widening groove.
TIL sweet music on the pebbly beach they
make.
So IL is with waves Of sound:
Save that here no beach is found.
As they whisper, shout or murmur evermore.
Never ceasins to repeat
Every message stern or sweet.
Till at length they break upon the Golden
Shore
Then the Father OF us all.
Listening there to every call.
Will be panied or pleased according a. He
hears.
Did you ever stop to think.
Standing near this oceans brink.
That no word once breathed escapes His listen
ing ears!
Speak a word and IL viii move
In this ever widening groove,
Through all space and for all time-it never
dies.
Then. o friend let there be heard.
Through all time no thoughtless word
Making discord in the chorus OF the skies.
Speak OF love and II will sound
In that distant pleasure ground.
Bringing peace and JOY TO those long gone b.
fore:
It will chord and harmonic
With the chorus OF the skies.
Make earth brighter. and illume the Golden
Shore.

SUNDAY ORDINANCE VETOED.
Chicago's Mayor Says Open Stores
Don't Disturb Good Order.
Advises Ovcrworkcd Employees to
Look Elsewhere for Relief.

CHICAGO, June 19-Mayor Hopkins
last night vetoed the ordinance closing
certain stores on Sunday. His Honor
holds that "the ordinance was not
passed In obedience to n demand OF
the people for the preservation of the
peace and good order of society on Sun
day by closing certain stores. but In
consequence of the desire of certain
employees OF retail stores and barber
shops to procure by municipal enact
ment a much-needed day OF rest.
THE desire is well justified. and
every legitimate means should be en-
ployed to accomplish its fulfilment
but l cannot sanction a measure which
under the guise of a police regulation
to the preservation OF the peace and
good order of society on the Sabbath III
50 radically interferes with the private
affairs Of the citizens.
Il cannot take the view that in n large
city the keeping open of n shoe store
OF society, however desirable the closing
thereof may be from the standpoint OF
the overworked employee or In the In
terest Of religious observance of Sun
day.
''The proper and legitimate remedy for
the overworked employees of the stores
mentioned in the ordinance la either
peaceable, but determined, assertion of
the power Of organized labor. which has
already accomplished such wonderful
results In the matter Of the reduction OF
the hours of toll and the amelioration
of the condition of the working classes"
