Old lawyers haven & forgot how ON one

he kept his eye on the clock, and at 3,4j,
giving himself just enough time to reach
the station, he ceased his argument and
said: "May it please your honors, | move

In Russian village there is not even
such an organization as we possess in this
country in the small volunteer fire compn-
MES. In their stead is IA log stable with
matched roof containing an old fashioned
hand pump and three casks mounted on
wheels. These are kept filled with water,
and each is drawn by Il single horse. The
horses are the property of the commune,
and they are kept tethercd outside the cab
in, ready for duty at moment S notice.
y place is also set apart in the hut for the
mujik who serves as Waterman, an Office
that is held, turn by turn, by the inhabit-

fire he drives to the scene in his telcga at

ANGEL KISSES.

From out that portal, cleaning with It's soft
and holy light.
Floating gently downward through the calm
ness of the night,
A wave of love comes stealing on the golden,
starry tip,
And the breath of angel kisses fingers swectly
on my lips.
The touch of baby fingers finds glad, respon-

Giving peace to empty arms that nothing else
can fill.
Thoughts Of morrow vanish, as the present
swiftly slips,
And l eagerly reach for kisscs-the kisses OF
angel lips.
The dreary, weary aching OF tho wounded

In this hour of blissful dreaming, which is nn6.

And when the dread awakening, with its lone
illness | greet,
thank God for the dreaming and the angel
