Or boughs OF other trees, with selfish growth
Induce sickly feebleness and sloth.
o, may we strive, who now have reached our
prime,
Though dwarfed perchance by ignorance or
crime.
To clear the ground and give the Nations

The air of freedom and the sun OF truth!

To SAD ONES:-Mark the tapping
at the barometer during the next rain
spell. No matter how lowering the
sky, if the mercury rises upward ever
so little you are sure of the better
day coming, wherein the rain hath its
rest and the sun its victory. Look
out now through the streaming lat
tees of your soul; sean all the atflic-
tiOns that have come on you from
every side. Question them closely as
it were, to see if sorrows viii ever
cease. Then you will note an up
ward tendency in them all promising
a brighter day whereinpe peace dwelleth
As the storms lash the earth with
fury, yet clothe it with verdant beau
ty, 50 your Affections cleanse away
evil and weakness and unproductive-
ness in your character, that good may
the more freely abound.

To ALL:-The death of an individ-
ual, however prominent, matters very
little except to a few immediate friends
and relatives. The few who suffer
loss are as nothing to the millions
who, not knowing the deceased, feel
no poignant grief at his departure.
If all | have ever written before is
false, this at least is true and true
universally. Viewed from inside our
own hearts. some of us feel pulled up
with Importance; viewed from with
out we are only units in vast crowd,
each unite living its life and then per-
by most of the units around. The
only thing of interest to the survivors
is the record of things done. The
trees we plant live after us and shell
ter generations that follow; the crops
we grow feed other mouths than ours:
our deeds, good or bad, do live on;
the good is not entered with our
bones. Things done and not merely
dreamed about are the things that
make us have interest for our fellow
creatures. And these workers must
be done without expectation ofrecog-
milton. An Offering of precious ser
vice to the world is and must be large
ly unreasonable, for though our deeds
may be widespread our own individ-
uality is known to but few This is as
it is with our rulers. We know them
as names only, impersonal they re
main always until we see them.

AUSTRALIA, which last year pro
duced G43, 10000 pounds of wool, is
likely to produce no more than half
that in the coming season. Her sheep
are dying by thousands from starya-

of her product in this line will be
materially reduced, thus adding to

MUSIC, RELIGION, LITERATURE.

At Lamberton on Saturday, some
forty teachers discussed music, re-
ligion and literature as a part of the
regular years course. Mr.. Green, who
had charge of the music, tested the
teacherslin music. Mr.. Gillette, who
had literature, quizzed on Revolution
airy and Pioneer periods. Paine, as a
writer, brought out his religious ideas.
He Was contrasted with Ingersoll of to-
day. The terms optimist and pessi-
mist, atheist and agnostic, brought out
some pointed definitions.
Irving and Cooper provoked some
good points for discussion. Miss
LANCE in "The Recitation" gave some
helpful hints on what was good reci-
tation, from both teachers and pu-
pills view. Attention of the class
seemed the one thing necessary, and
with the teacher, she must be able to
give the class her attention if she con-
ducts a good recitation.
The question box was full of good
pointed questions, most of which were
we'll answered. The meeting closed
to meet Dec. 18th, at IL a. m. to 3:l5

The Surprise of All.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill.,, in speaking
of DIR. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption.
Having DIR. Kings New Discovery in
store and selling lots of it he took a
bottle home, and to the surprise of all
she began to get. better from the first
dose, and ahalf dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and well. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds is guaranteed to do this good
work. Try it. Free trial bottles at H.

CHICAGO MARKET NOV. y.

Money has seldom been available
to business men at as low rates as are
now current, and this, together with
the favorable political outlook and the
satisfactory price of wheat, makes the
general situation most favorable.
1t is noticeable that while there has
been a decline in securities which do
not attract investment buyers, the div
idend-paying stocks-especially those
of railroads-are not offered at any
sacrifice by holders. The earnings of
grain-carrying roads continue to be
phenomenally large, and this is an in
dex looked upon with confidence by
the magnate of the financial world.
According to advices received by
Schwartz, Dupee & Co., the loadings
of the Atchison system last week were
the largest in its history for a CORE
spending period, and an official of the
Rock Island says that road is doing a
business in excess of the most san
guine anticipations. The Burling-
toms earning power is tremendous,
and just now it is being employed to
the fullest extent so that the showing
of each of those roads for the current
year cannot but be most gratifying.
In spite of the predictions of those
who would welcome a decline in the
price of wheat that staple holds we'll
above 80 cents for the near option
very easily, and SO long as the present
foreign demand continues there can
be no recession of consequence. On
the other hand, any considerable dam
age to inter wheat must be reflected
in quick advance in all the markets
of the world, so that from the present
outlook the wheat raiser has a good
prospect of enhanced values for his
present holdings and nothing in sight
to produce serious break. Corn is
not so active as wheat, but is firm at
current figures, while if there has
been, as many affirm, an overestimate
of the crop it will sell higher.

THE PASSION PLAY.
Realistic Description of 1t Next
Thursday Evening.

Rev. James M. Cleary of Minneapo-
lis, President of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of America, will
lecture at the opera house in this city
on the evening of December 9th, on
"The Passion Play" The lecture pro.
ceeds will be for the benefit of the St.
GATHERINGS church building fund. Rev
Fir. Cleary is too well-known as a
lecturer to need formal introduction
at this time. His eloquence, humor
and pathos, are acknowledged by
those who have been so fortunate as
to hear him speak at the church on his
former visit in this city, and his re-
markable dictation, with his power to
utter each syllable plainly, should
make his lecture on "The Passion
Play" something sublime to the true
lovers of Christianity and interesting
to those who are not so devout in
their religion as they might be.
Oberammergau, where the play is
presented by the simple yet devout
Germans, is small village of Bavaria,
in the midst of the Bavarian Alps.
The play is presented every ten years
by the devout people, the next ap-
pearance being in 1900. It was in
1890 that FIR. CIeary visited and saw
the realistic presentation.
About the year 1888 a plague visited
the village, and the pious people as
sembled in their church and registered
a VOW to heaven that if Divine Provi-
dence would stop the ravages of the
plague, they would give an exhibition
of "The Passion Play" scenes from
the Passion of Christ, every ten years.
This trembling VOW breathed in night
of fears, this votive offering wet with
tears, has been kept by the people re-
siding at the massive base of Gray
Kofel and along the shores of the
gentle Ammer ever since it was regis
tered. Though the lips that breathed
that early VOW have long been stilled
in death, though centuries have rolled
away, and kingdoms and crowns have
crumbled to decay, the children and
the children's children of those that
breathed the VOW, meet every ten years
to register anew their devotion to the
pledge given by their fathers.
The most remarkable thing about
this whole dramatic and realistic pre-
sentation is the par excellence of the
work on the part of the players. NJ
classic Roscius, no tragic Talma, nc
Salvini, or no Hamlet Booth taught
their age, and yet these peasants darec
this height to scale, where to succeed
in part was but to fail. The only
answer to the question of their sue
cessful work is that for five times fifty
years these mountaineers possessed
but one lofty thought-a generation
slept, another came, and still theil

purpose kept its steadfast aim, and
this idea ran in their blood, and
thrilled their pulses, and all their life
with its spirit filed. They have simply
been born into the parts they we're to
play, and the visiting world stands
aghast-yea, even the greatest actors
of the world wonder how such things
could be, when these peasants present
"The Passion Play
When William Allen Butler visited
the place, the same year as Fir.
Cleary, he was SO enthused over the
presentation that he placed it in verse.
At that time 1900 people visited and
witnessed the scene, their thoughts
together fused like molten Goals. It
was presented in vast, open amphi-
theatre, on Sunday morning. All at
once. there was a sudden stir, then a
bright robed chorus broke into song.
Following this the curtain was raised.
A tumultous throng filled the vast
stage.
"With shouting and with song,
And wealth of waving palms, they
bring with them
The Son of David to Jerusalem.
He comes-as written in the prophets
role
Meek, lowly, riding an ass's foal.
Alighting now he stands before our view,
How strange the semblance and how
strangely true;
The player is a peasant such was He,
Working in wood-His trade was
carpentry;
The noble figure, wrapped in simplest
robe,
Might fit monarch born to rule the
globe.
Beneath the parted locks, the oval face
Seems true type of Judah's lofty race;
That face serenely sad severely grave,
With pity tender, with high purpose
brave.
A human Christ, the Son of Man is He;
Jesus of Nazareth in Galilee;
True Son of Mary, yet by sin untainted,
The Man of Sorrows and with grief
acquainted,
Johns Lamb of God, unblemished,
without spot, -~s-. -.
Who sought His own and they re-
ceiyed him nOt.O
Mr.. Allen then mentions the actor,
Josef Maier, in the role of Christ,
clearing the temple of it's sordid horde,
the usurers, the caitiff band, who
made His Fathers house a den OF
thieves, while all the time loud no.
sannahs in the market place we're pro-
claiming him head of David's royal
race.
But scarce had these plaudits ceased
when the temple traders besieged the
Sanhedrim and cried for vengeance.
Crafty priests fed these kindled
flames, and with Judas aid, Jesus is
doomed-a price is put on his head
'"The greed of gold corroding all the
heart,
Is shown with vivid strokes in Judas
part.
He bears the bag, at best a slender
hoard,
And sits welcome guest at Simon Is
! board;
There Mary kneels, intent on service
meet,
And pours the spikenard on the Mas
| ter's feet"
The traitor Judas sneers and chides
at this action, contending that the
ointment used, if sold, would have
brought 300 pence to feed the poor
