THE OLDEST SONG OF ALL

When life is youth. and skies are glad.
And everything L. young.
o. listen, listen, lass and lad,
Unto the song that's sung!
When every sound you hears a tune
That seems your heart to call,
When every gift Of Gods a boon.
And loves the best of all!
There's green around and blue above
Wherever you are bound;
IT'S then that first you feel its love
That makes the world go round!
But when your world grows gray and sad.
When care the heart has wrung.
o, listen, listen, lass and lad,
Unto the SONG that's sung!
When smiles have turned to tears and
signs.
When hands you clasped are cold,
And those whose love has been prize,
Are weary, worn and DID,,
II one dear gift, the rest above.
Still by your side be found,
IT'S then you know. indeed, it's love
That makes the world go round!

EXTREMELY POLITE
a Feat Of Courtesy Such ~ In Very
Rarely Exhibited In This
Country,

Many of us have heard of that polite
Partisan cocher-driver-w during
long afternoon in which he drove an
American lady about the gay capital to
see the sights, responded quite un-
ruff1ed and without as much as a mus
Gle twitching, to her constantly re-
peated orders to cochon-pig-to drive
her here or there. Indeed, foreigners
receive our mistakes in their language
much more courteously than we re-
ceive theirs in ours. Two ladies in Italy,
we are told by correspondent of the
Companion, had this fact recently
''borne in upon Them" as the Friends
say. with especial directness.
In the morning their italian teacher
made a slip in her English, and in reply
to an inquiry concerning the oddly
twinkling fire embers in her little brass
stove, informed them that the fuel she
employed was ''small wigs"
They laughed heartily at the mis-
take, and presently the lady herself
corrected it to twigs, and was amiable
enough to laugh also. But that same
day they went to see the homeless cats
of the city fed in the cloister of San
Gallo, and were not sure that they had
come at the right time. One of them
turned to the custode and inquired in
Italian, as she supposed: When will
the cats eat?" but what was really
asked was:
''When shall we eat the cats?'
There is no systematic hour, sig
norma" he replied to this surprising
query, in a manner as politely matter
of-course as if it were quite the Gus
tom there to serve kittens on toast to
foreign ladies'! Not a flicker of ex-
preston showed that he perceived the
mistake.
Such steady countenance under
such circumstances, they agreed when
they discovered it themselves. was
feat of courtesy very rarely exhibited
by an American.-Youth's Companion

HE MUST LIVE.
A Patient Who Was Bound to Last
Long Enough to Draw His
Pension.

It would be in vain to attempt to
describe the sympathy for the poor and
suffering which William Stokes could
throw into his voice, says his biogra-
pher One of the stories he used to tell
is of peculiar interest, not only for its
revelation of human kindness, but as a
proof of the power of the will in pro-
longing life.
An old pensioner was a patient of
Stokes in the Meath hospital. His life
was despaired of, and in fact his death
was hourly expected. One morning.
having the patients to care for, and
believing that the pensioner was I'M
conscious and past help, DIR. Stokes
passed his bed without stopping. The
patient was greatly distressed and cried
out: 49, i
''Don't pass me by. docther; you
must keep me alive for four days.
"We will keep you as long as we can,
my poor fellow" answered Stokes;
''but why for four days particularly ?"
Because" was the reply, my PEN
sion will be due then, and I want the
money for my wife and children. Don't
give me anything to make me sleep, for
if L sleep 1 shall die" .
On the third day after this. to the
amazement of Stokes and the others.
the patient was still breathing. On
the morning of the fourth day he was
alive and conscious, and on entering
the ward, Stokes saw him holding in
his hand the certificate which required
signature. AS the doctor drew near the
dying man gasped:
"Sign, sign!"
The doctor quickly complied, and the
man sank back exhausted, and within
a few minutes crossed his hands over
his breast and said: 1.-THE Lord have
mercy on my SOUL" and quietly
breathed his last.-Youth's Companion.

mind as watched the captains face.
After what seemed an hour of calcula-
ton over the chart and directory, he
said:
THAT reef hasn't been found by any
vessel since 1740, but it isn't safe to ac-
cept the fact as conclusive evidence
against it's present existence. 1t is a
difficult matter to fix the position of
any ship exactly on a chart. Compass
deviation, or trifling errors in the ad-
justment of a sextant, may easily make
difference of several miles. Then.
again, these islands are probably the
most unfrequented portion of the
earth's surface. don't know of spot
so seldom visited as the Ladrones; the
government itself only communicates
with them four times a year. Now,
that galleon would have been ap-
preaching from almost due east, max
ing for Guajan-Port San Luis d. Apra.
The prevailing winds, being no'theas'
TO cas-, would drift the coral frag
ments ovcrto west'ard, forming a shoal
lagoon and breaking an entrance to
it on the lee side. In that case, ship
under fair Roadway would either drive
firmly on to the first bold ledge or
shove herself over the ridge into the
lagoon. So that, reasoning from pure
theory, the chances are against her
having sunk along the more precipit-
Gus face, which may go straight down a
thousand fathoms or more. The same
prevailing no'theasterly wind ana
waves which break and scatter the
coral grit to leeward would have a
tendency to crumble the deposit on a
hulk in the same direction, leaving one
side. or one end. more or less exposed.
If Nuestra Sonora de Sevilla was head
ing about west when she struck, with
the intention of just clearing Cocos
reef at the south end of Guajan and if
she lodged firmly in that position when
she sank. her for'ard part would be
pretty we'll sealed in with coral, but
the high poop. where most of the specie
was carried. might not have more
than an inch or two of incrustation
theoretically, the possibilities of re-
covering any of that money amount to
this: If the Santa Rosa reef exists to-
day as it did in 1T69, if that galleon

Eve were married in that hasty
way" explained the girl who had
eloped, because we objected to the
display and the Bother and the cost of
a big wedding, you know"
"Intleed?" answered the girl who had
hoped to be married first, speaking in
most ;nsinuating voice. "Tm glad
&C hear that. 1t disposes of that foolish
rumor."
''What foolish rumor?'' asked the
girl who had eloped.

Probably; but thought that coral,
diatomaceae, and foraminifera depos-
tied perpendicularly on these volcanic
atolls?''
That's so. IF the wreck lay in a
bold position some of her side timbers
might still be exposed, or at least COW
cred very thinly. Harry, what crazy
notion have you got in your head?
an attempt to raise that treasure be-
ing successful. 1t would be folly to
think of trying it without fully
equipped wrecking steamer, and even
then you'd have piracy to contend
with among your crew."
''Well, I became interested in the
story. And then the idea occurred to
me that, being out of job, there would
be nothing to hinder my investiga ting
the thing little. Just for the sake of
argument, now-we might as well
amuse ourselves with this as anything,
suppose 1 were to leave the steamer
at Guaian; that's the biggest and most
southerly Ladrone, isn't it? Right.
Then suppose I should happen to get
hold of Fray Ignacio's account of the
shipwrecked officer, and should find in
it just where the galleon went down.
I'd very likely get myself into a serious
scrape, but just suppose should man
age to see the document after all. Then
suppose 1 took little trip some day
on one of those flying catamarans-
they make % knots sometimes, if I re-
member correctly-and succeeded in
locating this reef. Suppose I had a
diving suit with me; there proba bly,
isn't such thing between Frisco and
the Yokohama navy yard, but imagin-
alton is cheap. Suppose I actually
found something that looked like an
old wreck, crusted over with coral, and
tried a dynamite cartridge on it. Sup
pose I found something there, and
slowed it away until you could join me.
eh?"
Halstead was filling his pipe as I
spoke, but his fingers trembled little,
He took several long, meditative puffs
without saying word. Then he got
up and began to pace the deck, up and
down, back and forth. Presently he
cleared the table and spread upon it an
Imray chart of the western Pacific be-
tween New Guinea and japan. After
studying this closely for several mo-
ments. he took down Findlay's Direc-
tory of the North Pacific, which he also
consulted. The conversation had
drifted casually into this channel from
its association with the Ladrone voy-
age, but the subject was taking hold
of us with the grip, that such seeming
impossibilities often will; and all sorts
of wild absurdities flashed through my
