wake him from dream. The dim light
from lamp fell upon the pinched and
plaintive face of little girl, clad in tat
tiers and shivering with cold.

Denton put his hand in his pocket
and gave the waif roll of bills. AS he
turned away he recollected the rose he
carried. "Stop!" he called to the child.
Then he went to her and placed the
flower in her arms.
Tell your mother, child, to take this,
If she dies, to her, he said, pointing up

a PARABLE,

When God first made a little bird,
For sheer delight,
lie gifted It with power of song
But not of flight, i
Then by it's side He gently laid
Those untried things
That we in human parlance call
A pair of wings;
And said; MY little one, this load
Uplift and see,
Beneath this strange disguise, my love 3
Sweet thought for thee"
The feathered darling serious grew;
A sudden sob
Choked all the music in its throat,
And seemed to rob
The air Of sunshine; yet it gave
A patient nod,
And said: "l'll bear It for your sake.
Dear Father God;'
Then on reluctant shoulders, firm
The burden laid;
And 10! the merry winds of heaven
About 1t played,
Until in very ecstasy
1t spurned the ground;
And. borne upon its lifted load,
Glad freedom found.
o mortal shrinking from thy cross,
Behold the birds!
And learn the dearest meaning yet
OF those sweet words.

1t was January evening. A sugges-
ton of closed doors, closely drawn cur
tains, and glowing hearth, permeated
the cold, invigorating air. Denton but
toned up his top coat and throwing
back his shoulders started at a brisk
pace down the street. He had returned
to the city the day before and was now
on his way to see Mildred Arnold. lie
stopped on his way at a florists estab-
lishment and selected magnificent
American Beauty.
Somehow the house seemed strange
as he gained the steps. He rang the
bell and stood wondering how she
would receive him. What deep light
had always glowed in her brown eyes,
heretofore, whenever she came to meet
him. Would it be the same now? OF
was he lost in her estimatio4-one OF
the earthly practically" A trim maid
whom he had never seen before opened
the door,
els Miss Arnold at home?" he asked
removing his silk hat,
The servant looked puzzled for mo-
ment. ooh, they've moved" she finally
said. ''That is" she went on, uneon-
cernedly, "Mrs. Arnold went south, sc
the girl next door says, right after the
young lady died"
Denton started back and the rose fell
from his hand. A thousand images Of
Mildred flashed before him, and the
sound of her low voice rang in his ears.
aHere is your rose, sir, said the serF
ant, He took the flower. In dazed
manner he turned and went down the
steps. 1t had begun to snow, and the
ground was white. Slowly he wandered
along the street, his head strangely
bent-his breath coming in great gasps

The Very Sword.

A scotchman on a recent visit to Dub
lin went to see a private museum WHICH
was advertised to contain the Oldest and
eueefest antiquities in the world.
The Irish Snowman brought out g
large sword and said:

The scotchman, being we'll up in

London, April 25,-~-A dispatch
from Paris TO the Sunday Special
reads: F'Hhe American methods Of
dealing with Spain have excited un-
anlmous Indignation. France will
hot let Spain go down without a
sustaining hand. The conditions
that prompt active interference on
her part are many. From the point
Of view Of sclfsprcscrvatlon, the
Monroe doctrine must be conbatted.
The hundreds Of millions Of French
capital invested in Spain must be
protected and the Latin race must
be upheld against the Anglo.Saxon.

Finally, French prestige would be
restored by the step, but it would
meet the approval Of Russia; Italy,

language, and gives too much chance
for disappointed bidders to cry "rob-
bcry"-and get some deluded people
to believe they are telling the truth
What is wanted is a law plain and
easily understood by commissioners
as we'll as printers. It should emu
merate everything that is likely to
be furnished by public printers, and
at fixed and fair compensation that
shall be general throughout the
state, thus doing away with bidding
that too often leads to ruinous prices.

company. as they are most familiar

If the committee were named now,

when they yct'tOgethcr at Butte the
