such these words are addressed
If you have constitution enough to
stand whisky, coffee and tobacco well and

If coffee interferes in the least with your

Instead Of the serene and soft pulsation
OF an infants respiration.
VIII
How small the tribute then of human pain
The eternal wisdom did disdain
my migrant spirit should be bound to pay
Upon its way
Unto fruition of the immortal prize;
Purchased for thee by rain of scaldine
By agony indign,
BY woes how heavier far than thine
Through more protracted years
And deeper signs.
One evening thou vert not,
The next thou vert and vert in bliss,
And vert in bliss forever, and is this
So desolate lot
To be the theme of unconsoled sorrow,
Because thy first tomorrow
Thou vert ordained vest to wear,
Not made like ours of clay,
But woven with the beams of clearest
day,
A cherub fair?
For on that one, that well spent morn.
Unconscious thou were borne
To wash the baptismal stream,
Which doth unbar the gates of Paradise
And thou vert taken home
Before the peril that might come
BY thy parents human pride
In thy soft boaming eye;
But not before
Their blessings on thee they might pour
And pray that, If so early bloomed the
tide,
Yet God might speed thee on thy path
Through the void realms of death,
And Christ reserve thee in His bosom
peace
Till pain and sin shall cease;
Till earthly shows shall fly, and they
Shall wake to life with thee from clay.
We live amid the tumult and the stress
OF fierce eddying fight,
And in our mortal sight
Our fate is trembling in the balances;
And even 1T hath seemed
The Tempter at the neither scale
Might over love prevail;
But thy faith can never fail.
Thou art redeemed;
The shadoWy forms of doubt and change
Athwart thy tranquil fate no more NAV
range,
Nor speck it's lucid path
with tokens and remembrances Of death
VII.
Then flow, We blameless tears awhile.
A little while We may;
The natural cravings to beguile
This task is yours; with you
Shall peace be borne anew
And sorrow glide away
Oh, happy they in whose remembered lot
There should appear no darker spot
Than this of holy ground;
This where, within the short and narrow
bound,
From morn to eventide
In quick successive train,
An infant lived and died
And lived again.
To-day pronounces this poem an import
ant human document, a confession vi Mr..
Gladstones early religious and theologi-
cal trend of mind. In contemplating death
as he is doing now in Hawarden, he is too
much of a theoiogian to be a poet. These
verses are destitute of all suggestion of
the imagery that he employed IN his splen-
did speeches.

= ON THE OLD SITE
The New Riverside County Hospital
Will Be Rebuilt

RIVERSIDE, May 9.-The supervisors
today met in special session for the pur-
pose of deciding on the location of the
hospital which was burned some weeks
ago. The meeting was short but lively
while it lasted. 1t was thought that the
board would fail to agree upon rebuilding
on the old site at San Jacinto, at least for
some time, but this proved not to be the
case, for when the vote to rebuild was
taken Supervisors Shaver, Thompson and
Russell voted to rebuild, while Supervisors
Dunbar and Compton voted against the
proposition all the way through. The
board, as soon as the vote on the site de-
cided the location, ordered advertisements
inserted in the local papers asking for bids
for the rebuilding of the structure, which
call for bids provides that the building
shall be completed by July 1st. These
bids will be opened at the regular meeting
Of the board next month.

Seaside Burglars

SANTA MONICA, May 9.-The knights
of the jimmy seem to have placed Santa
Monica on their list again. A Mooser's
favored by their attentions Sunday night
They pried open a back window, through
which they entered, and then amused
themselves by scattering goods all over
the floor. They carried off about fifteen
dozen silk handkerchiefs, few suits of
clothes, ties, socks, underclothing, cigars,
ETC., and secured s2.1O from the till. No at
tempt was made to get at the contents Of
the safe. The chisel used to pry open the
window is supposed to be one which has
been in use in the store for some time,
and which, it is claimed, was in the store
Sunday morning. If so, the robbers, who
ever they are, must have been in the store
Sunday getting the lay of the land, ETC.,
and succeeded in carrying off the chisel
unnoticed. Mr.. Mooser placed the matter
in the hands Of Marshal Barretto and also
went to Los Angeles this morning to give
the police officials there description of
the goods stolen.
About three weeks ago a blacksmith
shop on Third street was entered in a
similar manner and two pots Of expensive
carriage paint were stolen.
The town trustees met as usual this

ANOTHER BATTLESHIP
Railroad Employees Come to the Rescue
Of the Government

SAN BERNARDINO, May "a plan has
just materialized today that If carried out
will give the government another battle
ship to replace the Maine. This comes
from the Santa Fe employees, the five to
concoct the plan and put 1t in shape and
furnish the first $25 beng w. D. Jacobs,
Charles s. Lemon, Frank Cleveland and
]. ID. Strayhorn Of San Bernardino, and ..
H. Burke of Orange. 1t is proposed to
send circulars to every department of
every railroad in the United States, not
forgetting the street car lines, asking for
contributions with which to purchase a
battleship of the highest style and power.
These contributions will be received in any
amounts, and are I'd come from the en-
ployes of all grades and departments, even
check of $780, 900 from Chauncey Depew
would not be refused. All the officials OF
the roads will be asked to contribute, and
each department be notified and their
contributions will be sent direct from the
head of that department to the United
States treasurer for q fund for this pur-
pose The names Of the subscribers Will
be left with the paymaster of the road, and
the several sums will be deducted from
the wages of the first pay day and sent to
Washington. The ball was rolling today,
and it is thought 1t will not take over
month to reach every railroad employe in
the United States, and an early action will
send the money in before the summer is
over There are in the United States over
800 900 railroad men, not counting many
thousands employed on the street car and
electric lines, and even a IS bill from each
will fit out almost IS 900 900 battleship.
