THE FOUR SUN Ms.

Four little sunbeans came earth1ari one

Resolved that their course should be bIest.
"Let US Try" they all whispered, some
Kindness to do.
Not seek our own ple1surins all the day

the door.
Tilt baby laughed loud in his xiee.
And chased with delight his strange play

And brought him dream Of the sweet sum.

Its bird song, and beauty. and bloom.
Till pain Was forgotten and weary unrest.
And in fancy he roamed through the sI,aeAs

One stole TO the heart OF girl that was sad
And loved and caressed he. until she Was
glad,
And lifted her white face again.
For love brings content to the lowliest lot,
And finds something sweet in the dreariest
spot,
And lixhtens all labor and pain.
And one, where a little blind girl sat alone.
Not sharing the mirth of her play fellows,
shone
On hands that were folded and pale.
And kissed the poor eyes that had never
known sight,
That never would gaze on the beautiful light,
Till angels had lifted the veil.
At last. when the shadows OF evening were
falling,
And the sun, their great father, his children

Four sunbeams sped into the west.
All said, "We have found that in seeking the

gentleman OF musical tastes and
patriotic Instincts writes to new
York paper to ask why the States Of
the Union should not have State songs.
Yankee Doodle" he says, "goes as
national air, but there is no reason
why each State should not have its
individual tune The New York
gentleman Is mistaken; be is off the
key. SO to speah In the first place,
yankee Doodle is not recognized as
the national air. Some patriotic as
semblages sing or attempt to sing
"AmerIca, r song with n tune stolen
immediately from "God Save the
King, others murder "The Star
Spangled Banner, others still attempt
Hail Columbia, and in the North
west The Red, White and Blue" is
the favorite yankee Doodle isn't
sung Mt nll, except by children. But
the trouble with all these songs Is that
no one seems to know all the words,
and few know the entire tunes That
is the Illuminating fact, admits the Chi
cago Herald. The average Fourth of
July crowd will tackle "The Star
Spangled Banner" with patriotic
fervor, but by the time "the rockets
red glare Is reached three fourths of
thc singers will be silent and the re-
mainder will be trying to hum the air
without singing the words. State
songs would only make matters worse
We don't know our patriotic songs and
We don't seem to care to learn them

miles from his home saw . woman with
baby in her arms throw herself into

dyke, dived in after her, and rescued
the pair with some difficulty. Up to
the present these have been the re.
wards Of his heroism. First. he had
to walk three miles before he found
any one who would let him come iD
and go to bed while his clothes were
dried. Secondly. he WAS compelled
to attend at Rochester Police Court
next day. when he says he WAS ordeied
about by the police, treated rs only

and dismissed without payment, to
walk eight miles to Gravesend, where
he was temporarily stopping. Thirdly.
he is detained At Gravesend xhile the
would-be suicide is under remand.
Finally, he is reduced to destitutiop,
and his family At home are in the
same position. by the loss OF time and
employment. Whether he will
eyentusily be fined or imprisoned. or
merely allowed 10 betake himself with
his family to the workhouse, remainE
to be seen. Possibly this il all done
with the view OF discouraging those
who would interfere with the suicidal
intentions OF their neighbors. On no
other ground can IT be justified. Lon
