A Sentiment from Bismark.

A young English woman once petit
toned Bismarck most pathetically for
his autograph, declaring that a few
lines of his handwriting would make
her happy for life. So the chancellor
wrote on the front Of the book: BE

the air, for they are buildings which
we erect so easily, yet they are the
most difficult to demolish."

the little fellow-a cry Of protestation
and alarm. "Daddy-Daddy-c
Daddy. Take me home-take me
home"
A shudder shook the man from head
to foot. A sob rose In his throat-he
could not speak. His arms went more
closely round the little body leaning
against him, and he began to move on
slowly and TO mix with the crowd.
Daddy. daddy, take me home.'
"Ah. Christi

appealing cry of broken spirit. The
man In him was crushed and tortured;
his heart was bleeding Itself TO death.
Love for his wife and child had given
this man soul. Evil passions had
burnt themselves out before the fire of
that pure devotion; n mighty tender
ness had sprung up with the light n
his baby's eyes.
Wonderful future schemes for the
happiness of mother and child had
filled his leisure moments and made
the music of his life. He had worked
bravery and cheerfully, he had been
tender and true and patient, and his
love had taught him to pray.
He had been at peace-and happy.
And now his heart was broken.
The cruel wind blew the rain round
them and dashed 1t coldly into their
faces; but other drops that were not

When brave man weeps there are
tears of blood that well up from his
heart and blind his eyes; and no power
on earth can heal the wound below.

frightened clutch of chubby fingers
only made the agony more intense.
There Is no peace to be found in any
thing when despair first rushes with all
Its force into human soul.

The noise and the glare are left be-

street and n narrow bridge, and dark
water creeping beneath. Here there is
quiet to think in at last.
BY the edge of the wall is a seat cut
In the stone. The man sits down In
one corner of it, and after looking care
fully to make sure that the boy sleeps

deep water below.

1t will soon be over, and better and
easier than years of pain. God would
punish him of course, but only him. He
would understand how sorely he had
been tempted, and he would not make
the punishment too hard. He would
let him be with his boy at last. Hadn't

The child moved uneasily, and the
man bent over him caresslngly, anx-

ut the closed lids and pushed some hair

forehead.

The Oregon Enters the New Dock at
the BROOKLYN Navy Yard.
\ New York. Sept. S.-The Oregon was
safely deeked in the new timber dock at
the navy yard at high tide yesterday.
Three government tugs towed the ship
from her berth to the dock, which she
entered without difficulty Naval Con-
structor BowIes was in charge. After
sufficient water had been pumped out of
the dock the Oregons own crew set to
work to clean her below the waterifne.
Considering that she had been in tropi-
cal waters some time she was in fair con-
dition.
Barnacfes had fastened on her. but
these were soon scraPed away. 1t was
said by one of the officers that she would
be out of dock again by Saturday or
Monday There is quite good deal of
refitting work to be done in her interior
The Iowa, which came out of dry dock
Monday, is lying at the coal dock. Con-
siderable refitting Is being done on her
1t was stated at the commandant's Of
fee that nothing was officially known
there of the probable detaehing of the
Oregon and Iowa from the North Allan
tic squadron to join the Pacific squad
ron.
The Massachusetts, which is now at
Boston, is due at the yard tomorrow, and
on Thursday of next week will go into
drydock for overhauling. The BROOKLYN
will probably come up to the yard from
Tompkinsville Saturday of next week.
