Who Cares?

Who CAreBS
Who cares that your cross Is heavy;
Who cares that you weep and sigh;
Who cares that you find life darkened-
That you'd gladly lie down and dieg
Who cares that your tears are falling
Like the chill November rain;
Who cares that your heart is aching
With dull and ceaseless painp
Who cares that your feet are weary,
Walking in poverty's way;
Who cares that you see no sunshine
III the fair, bright summers days
Who cares that your dreams are shattered
Who cares that you know no rest;
Who cares that you re daily nursing
Despair at your very breast?
No one. for the world Is selfish.
1t wants not your grief and pain.
You may cry your woes from the housetops
But you'll cry them all In vain.
But fill your pockets with gold dust.
With beaming smile advance.
And then you can play your fiddle.
And the whole wide world will dance.

The Difference.
He couldn't write, he couldn't read,
He little knew nor cared
About the peoples wrongs or need;
How others lived he took no heed
Nor how they Jared.
The big saloon he couldn't pass
Nor pools of any type;
He couldn't live without his glass,
And he was miserable. alasl
Without his pipe.
On public streams, Whichever the way,
sHe could do naught but float.
And on the questions of the day
He couldn't think, he couldn't pray,
But he could vote.
She couldn't drink, she couldn't swear.
She couldn' even smoke,
Nor could she open wrongs declare,
Nor with ballot did she dare
The right invoke.
She loved the people, and she knew
The questions passing by
We're weighty: her conclusions drew.
And out of these convictions grew
The how and why.
She kept herself outside the rut,
From leading minds could quote:
She had opinions clearly cut.
Gould read and write and reason-but
She couldn't vote.

GEMS IN VERSE.


like the man who faces what he must
With step triumphant and IA heart of cheer,
Who fights She daily battle without fear.
Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust
That God is God--that somehow, true and just
His plans work out for mortals; not tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world holds
dear,
Falls from his grasp; better with love crust
Than living In dishonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man, but does his best,
Nor even murmurs at his humber lot,
But, with smile and words Of hope, gives
zest
To every toiler. He alone is great
Who, by life heroic, conquers fate.

all things, and so / thought it was
about time for me to write a few lines
for the dear old HERALD.

Some people seem to think that an
evangelist should not be allowed to
preach lin our churches; especially a
Holiness evangelist. We think that
half dozen is needed to show the church
members how they are living, and to
wake up the hard sinners, before they
enter hades. God speed the day when

world to Christ.

INDIAN DIVORCES.
The Summary Way In Which the Aborig-
inal Makes Himself Single.

me summary way In Whlcn the ADOrlE-
inal Makes Himself Single.
Wita most of the plains Indians marriage
consists simply of picking out the maiden,
leading her to q cabin or wigwam and in
Sailing her as mistress of the house and
cornfleld, sometimes with the necessary
preliminary of paying the father pony or
two or an installment of blankets, and oc-
oasionally with some slight ceremony per-
formed by a chief or medicine man. And
when the brave grows tired of his partner
ne can get rid of her as easily as he won
her.
The people who are now nocking to the
Dakotas or Oklahoma to get divorces would
be Supremacy happy if they could throw off
the CALLING bonds of wedlock as easily as
does the reservation Indian The fact hav-
ing been formally announced by the head
man of the clan, the divorce takes place
when the tribe is gathered at a dance.
When all are assembled and the circle
formed, the disconnected warrior strikes a
drum used by the jewellers, gives away a
few presents (ofttimes making present to
the squaw he intends to take next), and
then, in a short, bombastic speech, he stig-
matizes his wife by giving her over to the
tender mercies of other braves, while they
look upon him enviously and consider that
he has performed an act of bravery in his
desertiOn.
Often as many as half dozen divorces
are thus obtained at a single dance Nc
tedious waiting, no courts, no lawyers and
no trouble about alimOny or the custody Of
the children. And the squaws thus cast
off as a general thing seem to take it as q
matter of course and before the close OF
the dance are using the wiles known and
used by the women of the world over in al
effort to repair as speedily as possible the
break in their hearts and matrimonial ex
perience
With the taking of land in severalty anG
putting on of citizenship, however, the In
dian finds that he has cemented the ties
that were so loose before, for the courts
everywhere are deciding that the triba
marriages are legal and binding upon thu
Indian who becomes citizen. And if the
weight of one legal marriage wears some
what heavily upon white man, how mus
1t be with the red man who has contracted
two, three, four, or even more alliances
which the court now declares legal and a
the same time takes away his former ave
nue. of reliefY-St Louis Globe Democrat.
