sun Never Sets ON Our Domain.

THE Britons proudly boast that the
sun never sets on the Queens domains,
as if they were special subjects Of So
lar favoritism," writes William George
Jordan on The Greatest Nation on
Earth" in the Ladies Home Jour
NAL But it is equally true that
there is always sunshine on some part
of Uncle Sans great possessions.
When it is 8 p. M, on Attoo's Island
Alaska, it is 9:36 a. M, of the day fol-
lowing at Eastport, Maine. If we To-
cate the center of the United States,
calculating it as midway between long
itude sixty-seven of Eastport and long
itude one hundred and ninety-three of
Attoo's Island, it will be found on the
one hundred and twenty-sixth degree
of longitude, about two hundred and
eighty miles west of San Francisco, in
the Pacific Ocean"

with US. and to One from whom no
secret is hid.
To live is as it were, to traverse a
swamp whose quaking mire offers no
lasting foothold. Its foul gases endan-
ger us, and in cur hours of gloom its
ftful lights, arising solely from decay,
Yet appearing to promise comfort, only
Lead us further away from our direct
course. Without stepping stones, we
grow in experience to fear the hamper
ing, clinging, engulfng mass, until we
learn that the solid supports for our
trembling steps are made up only OF
the things we throw away He who
casts aside selfishness, he who tramples
passions into the mire, he who denies
himself daily of the things that en-
ervate, he who keeps his eye fixed on
one noble purpose and controls his wan
dering glances towards things more
g1tteI1ng but less noble, treads fear
lessly onward, safe amid dangers and
undiverted amid gloom.
To live is to be ALL you can wher-
ever and whatever you are The
quiet shut in" on bed of sickness or
couch of pain may live and influence
by being just all she may. The Grip
pied man, weak by inheritance and rob-
bed of his best by the sins of his an
cestors, may be too incapable to climb
and yet may prepare to set others on
the way. He may be too stiffened for
seamanship, and yet attend the lights
along the shore; too feeble for battle,
and yet the comforter of those who are
wounded and would return; too sight
less to traverse a swamp, and yet able
to show how stepping-stones may ba
made of discarded self
To live is to recognize that the world
has a right to the best that is in US;
that we owe it a service. To live is
to rejoice in every good work and wish
it "God-speed' whether our hands have
anything to do with it or not To live
is TO step out of selfish narrowness into
the breadth of interest in our fellows
that is worthy our divine nature; to
breathe the air of world citizenship no
matter how narrow the confines of our
physical sphere; to glory in world
progress and feel our kinship to all
who are good and great. This is "To
Live" and this is to give proper scope
to our natures that are a little lower
than the angels in as far as we are
narrower than the Eternal.

Happy was Bishop Potter's reply to a
brother prelate whom he chanced to he
visiting last summer at a popular sea-
side resort. AS the Bishops were walk
ing home from the Sunday morning
service they could not fail to notice
the crowds of bathers in the surf, clad
and unclad in all manner of costumes.
The resident prelate turned to his Wis
itor, saying with a sigh, What should
you do if you were confronted by a
problem like that in your diocese?"
Bishop Potter quietly replied, Broth

He Was Ahead.

Anent the prevailing discussion as to
the highest speed ever attained by ex-
pert shorthand writer's, there is a story
going the rounds of the feat of a Geor-
gia satenOgrapher, which by long odds
broke the worlds record in that line of
work
1t was just when that eminent jurist,
the late Judge Richard Clarke, was pre-
siding in the Atlanta Circuit of the Su-
able murder trials was in progress. The
evidence was conflicting, and the Judge
was called upon to charge the jury on
some decidedly new and interesting le-
gal points. Now, the Judge was a rapid
talker. In this instance it was very i'm
portant that every word he spoke
should be correctly recorded, and he so
cautioned the stenographer.
Then Judge Clarke began. AS he
warmed up to his charge he was speak
ing at the rate of go words a minute.
Once he glanced toward the stenog-
rapher That worthy official seemed to
be half sleeping over his work and ap-
parentIy writing very slowly.
Mr. -, are you getting my words
down correctly" asked the Judge.
AT this the stenographer seemed to
wake up. With little concern he replied:
That's all right, Judge, fire away. L
am about fifteen words ahead of you
now!"-Washington Post.

SANTA EE In
Decision of the Supreme Court Rem
ders the Townsite Open to
Public Entry.
From tho Denver News.

From the Denver News.
Judge Wilbur f. Stone, member OF
the court Of private land claims, read
the decision Of the supreme court Ia
the Santa Fe case yesterday with q
great deal of interest. The judge was
absent on a special mission In Spain
when the case was heard by the court
OF which he is . member, and IS not
familiar with the evidence adduced at
the time. The lower court sustained
the claim OF the city OF Santa Fe and
decided that the city had q title to the
land within its limits. The supreme
court holds that the city has NO title.
81 presume the decision has created
an immense sensation in Santa Fe,"
remarked the Judge in speaking Of the
matter. sThe court of land claims
was not unanimous In the first decision,
al Judge Murray ~dissented, claiming
that the city had no valid grant. HIS
opinion has been upheld by the SUI
preme court. The city of Santa Fe 10
the Oldest city in the United States and
the lower court presumed that the city
had q grant. I do not know whether
our court will have any further juris-
dic,ion in the case, as 1 have not seer
the complete opinion Of tho supreme
court. The opinion, however, places
the area within the city in the public
domain Of the United States, with the
exception of the reservation on which
Fort Marcy is situated. There is no
cause for alarm on the part of citizens,
as private citiz NJ cannot file on the
land and there are several ways by
which people Of Santa Fe may pre-
serve their property rights. The city
may enter q town site under the gen.
eraI statute, or congress may be asked
to pass a SPECIAL act covering the case.
There may b complications arising on
account Of seven or eight grants around
the city"
n Judge Stone says, In the case Of AL
buquerque, the court OF land claims
settled the title.
