Why do they have church bells?
What good are they? Men go to a
bank or the store at the proper time
without a bell. Women open up their
millinery stores on time without being
rung up. People in the country, where
there are no bells, get to church on
time. The fact is church, bells are a
relic of ancient times. People have
them because 1t Is custom. They do no
good. Really, they are a nuisance

this famous woman several times before

Talnage and His "Copy."
(Phfladelphia Post.l


Probably no Americans preacher has had
his sermons more faithfully reported and
more widely published than DIR. Dewitt
Ialmage. who has recently left his Wash
lngton passionate to devote his whole time
70 writing and lecturing. Dr. Talmage
peiieVes the press is mightier than the

when among newspaper men.
Many years ago when my sermons
first attracted the attention OF city ed

Versation, you reporters used to make
me fume and fret. but. since I-flaye come
to know you better have transferred my
wrath to your adversary, the compositor.

LEAVE 1T TO THE PEOPLE.

Politicians may try to write the his
tory of a people, administrations may
push the claims of favorites for popu-
lar approval, censorships may be .es-
tabhshed for the purpose of making
heroes to order, but final judgment is
rendered by the people themselves.
They appreciate true 1aeroism. They
recognize merit. They are able to dis
tinguish the difference between self
made and department-made heroes, and
they have a strong sense of justice that
disregards the bowls OF partisan press
and the ieers of beaurocratic black
guards, and accords to real heroes the
homage they deserve.
This was illustrated in the demon
stratdon yesterday in New York. The
crowd cheered Dewey as he passed, and
the cheers were as strong for Schley
when his carriage, the last in the pro-
cession, passed along. 1t was every
where the same, and eventually the
crowd took up the cry Dewey and
Schley," and yelled itself hoarse for
the heroes of two unprecedented naval
victories. The public knows the hero
of Manila, and it knows the hero of
Santiago. And Dewey knows. When
he met Schley at the reception they en-
braced like two long lost, brothers.
The echoes of that cheering in New
York yesterday viii never cease to re-
vertebrate in the hearts of the American
people. Dewey and Schley." Their
names will be written with those of
Farragut, Perry, Porter, Hull, McDon-
ough and John Paul Jones.

POEMS WORTH READING.
She wanders Home with Me.
(New Orleans. Times-pelnocrat.)

New Orleans ,Times-Delnocrat.)
As We sit and dream in the silent porch
Together, my pipe and 1,
cloud OF smoke from the old brown
bowl
Floats up to the .dappled sky;
Ana l watch through its dim, enchanted
A little sunbonrIet go
In shadow and shine DER the grassy links
That lie in the yale below.
For early and late, all the long, bright
day,
1t is busy fitting there.
With a caddie wandering in its train,
While the white bail flies in the air;
A sunbonnet, ancient of pattern, such
AS Priscilla's sweet self wore
When she walked with the hornesick Pill
grim maids,
Long since, on an alien shore.
And the jolly lads in the jackets red
There's never a. one goes by
But he Stacks his pace and he turns his
head,
And he feels his heart beat high
At the glance he gets and the bloom he
To the roguish face within
That st shelter ing scoop, with its soft
In knot beneath her chin.
But bide my time on the silent porch,
For L know whom she loves best,
And that by and by, when the game is
done,
And the day dies in the west.
She will hang the sunbonnet on her arm,
And the peeping stars will see
What a soft light lies in her happy eyes,
AS she wanders home with me.

The following anecdote of Henry Clay

While making the journey to Washing
ton on the National road, just after his
nominatiofi as candidate for the presi-
dency. he was travelling one stormy
night, wrapped up IN a huge cloak, on the
back seat of the stage coach, when two
passengers entered. They were Kentuck-
ians. like himself. He fell asleep, and
when he awoke found them discussing his
chances in the coming campaign.
What did Harry Clay so into politics
for?9 said one. He had good bit of
land; he had a keen eye for stock. If he
had stuck to stock raising he'd have
been worth his $4,000. But now he
doesn't own a dollar.5t'

It's Sweet. goodbye" when pennants fly,
And ships put out OF sea;

In an eye of brown or an eye of blue
And you'll remember me,
Sweetheart,
Andsyou'll remember me.
It's "Friend or foe??' when signals blow
And ships sight ships at sea;
It's clear for action and man the guns
As the battle nears or the battle runs
And youll remember me,
Sweetheart,
And you'll remember me.
It's deck to deck and wrath and wreck
When ships meet ships at sea;
It's scream of shot aud shrek of shell,
And hull and turret q roaring hell
And you'll remember me,

And you'll remember me-
It's doom and death and pause and breath
When ships go down at sea;

And war is cruel whoever wins
And you'll remember me,
