"The sky may be cloudy, the mountain
steep"
Cried the son with the sable hair.
what matter? The snail with its shell
must keep,
Man only abroad may fare.
He needs no castle. nor cave in the cliff,
He conquers the elements ALL
He wrenches the mountain asunder, the
wave
OF the widest ocean he makes his slave,
He SCOTS at fears and he mocks the grave
When he answers that one brave call
That one brave call: Come, follow thou
me-
And he conquers with Jesus of Galilee."
20, the lowland sweet, where the bob-o-
link reels
Through his tangle of tipsy tunes,
Where the bees dive deep in the clover
blooms
And the ring-dove coos and croons;
I love it-love it with all my heart
Cried the daughter. a blue-eyed maid.
my limbs grow never a-weary, 1 run
To the hills brown crest where / dance in
the sun
Till the earth and the sea and the sky are
one
(And she tossed her yellow braid).
He taught us that beauty is best" cried
she,
"And 1 worship with Jesus of Galilee"
See, grandpa, my dolly is ready for bed,
You must take us, and rock her to sleep"
And the old man said, as he lifted the
child:
1.-THE Shepherd hath care of His sheep
Be We aged or young, be we weak or strong.
The end of 1t all is this
You may loiter or climb-if the way you go
Be warm with roses or bleak with snow,
However you boast, the all you may know
Is-a doll and goodnight kiss.
'Ho, suffer the children to come unto Me,
In My kingdom they're greatest of ALL
said He."

Greece, through her ministers at the
European capitals, has informed the
powers that she feels she has been be-
trayed. The Greek troops were in
many instances recalled and prepara-
tions for carrying on hostilities discon-
tinued, all on the promise Of the pow
ers that they would Immediately inter-
vene. When thus at disadvantage
the Turks renewed their attack, and, OF
course, the Greeks were defeated. Rus
sia is the power that has stopped the
fighting, but not until Turkey had cap
tured Domoko and secured about all
the glory and material advantage pos
sible. Yet, backed by Germany, Turkey
was prepared to overrun all Greece, and
but for the Cars imperative telegram
would have done SO. Now It remains
to be seen II Turkey will keep Thessaly.
England Is opposed to the idea, and the
other powers are supposed to be. but
Turkey, having mobilized an army Of
half a million of her best fighting men
in Europe, the powers will be very con-
siderate of her interests. Only small
part of this army has been used In
Greece. The Sultan has the rest OF 1t
reserved for bigger game. A general
European war would probably benefit
Turkey. The London Times sums up
the Sultan's attitude toward the pow
ers by saying: "His insolence is only
moderated by his contempt"

A Railway In Alnska.

Seattle. WASH, June 21.-The British
Columbia Development Association,
one of the wealthiest corporations In
the West, has completed arrangements
for constructing thirty-six miles of rail-
way to Central Alaska for putting in
big saw mill and for the establishment
of a townsite at Skagaway bay, Alas
ka. BY this scheme it is proposed to
turn all future immigration to the Yu-
kon and the klondyke gold fields OF
Central Alaska from the route through
Chilcoot Pass and st. Michels to that
over Skagaway bay. The pass at this
latter point is 1000 feet lower than
Chilcoot pass, and is more accessible.
A dozen men have thus far attempted
TO reach the gold fields by the pass at
Skagaway bay and found it practically
easy of access and far superior to Chill
coot pass.

In New Whatcom, seaport town

ty, the northwest county in Washing
ton and the United States. is erected on
the outer edge of sidewalk on one of
the principal street corners an immense
slab or section of one of Washington's s
biggest red fir trees. says the Mining
and Scientific Press. The slab, being
cut directly across the diameter of the
tree. like a butchers cutting block, the
greatest diameter extending upward,
the bark being on its entire circumfer-
ence. A stranger naturally feels III
clined to walk up to the slab and meas
ure 1t by its height, and is surprised to
find that 1t would take another man
standing on his head to extend to the
ton of it. Then he steps back pace
and reads the following inscription,
neatly painted on a board attached to
the face of the slab: Tree from
Loops Ranch Forks. Whatcom county,
Wash. The tree was 465 feet high, 220
feet to the first limb and 33 feet II
inches in circumference at the base. If
sawed into lumber 1t would make &c.
345 feet. 1t would build eight cottages
two stories high of seven rooms each.
The tree Is about 4S0 years old, accord
ing to the rings. If sawed into inch
square strips 1t would fill ten ordinary
cars, and the strips would reach from
whatcom to China" The section
shows the tree sound to the core.

The Rev. Frank Crane of Chicago

times a week what an unemployed man
is to do in Chicago. Thousands are
out Of work. The afternoon newspa-
per offices are besieged by crowds Of
men eager to get hold Of the want ad-
vertisements. to see where they can
get something to do. have been
asked to give some word Of practical
advice to a man seeking work in the
great city. The best word can think
of is this: Get on the cars and ride as
far as your money will carry you; then
get off and walk as far as you can. al
ways headed straight away from Chi
cago." Doubtless many of those unem-
ployed Chicago people would take the
Rev. Cranes advice were they not
aware of the fact that hoboing, while
in one sense having much room, is still
a crowded profession.
