SONG OF THE PRESSES.

marion c. Smith, in the Argosy.)
They whir and clash, through the nights
and days.
The magical looms of thought:
And in and out, through thousand ways,
The flashing threads are brought.
Their swift purveyors part and meet,
On rail and ship on mart and street,
With tireless brain, with hurryinS feet,
AS the endless web is wrought.
They may not pause when the sun is
high,
Nor rest when the light is low;
For while men live, and act, and die,
The world flies to and fro.
II leaps the sea, it spans the plain;
On throbbing wire and mighty chain,
It runs like fire from main to main,
That the world may see and know.
While all men sleep, they whir and clash,
The terrible looms of light;
On eyes that wake shall the message
flash,
From far beyond the night;
And songs in the under world begun
Shall touch our lips ere day is done;
For space is naught, and the earth's at
one.
Linked by the words swift flight.
Man calls to man. and not in vain
The cry to the ear is brought;
All love and labor, and hope, and pain
Into each soul is wrought.
Work on, We presses. at lifeS beheSt,
For light far spread, and for wrong re-
dressed:
Till time is ended, We may not rest,
We marvellous looms of thought!

week sees a moral danger for Kipling
himself when he comes to know fully
the worldwide homage his genius and
influence called forth when the news of
his seemingly approaching danger was
announced. Accordingly. the Spectator
preached a honily on "The glare of
publicity and its insidious moral in
duences.'
The fact that the Paris exposition is
drawing somewhat near is shown by
the great increase in the number Of
foreigners residing at the French can
ital. Every foreigner staying over
three months in France is obliged to re-
port himself TO the prefecture of police,
and it is said during the past few
weeks the number of foreigners pre-
senting themselves has risen by leaps
and bounds. In the meanwhile the
Parisians are disagreeably reminded of
the approach of the great show. The
many streets under repair have ter
ribly upset traffic, omnibusses have
been diverted into side streets, starting
points have been altered, and the river
Seine steamers have run erratically,
several landing stations having been
suppressed, the general result being a
great inconvenience to everybody.

She Was Indignant.

cleveland Plain Dealer.0
In the Colonial arcade, near the Euclid
avenue entrance, a large mirror is placed
at such an angle that it reflects objects
from the opposite direction. That is, if
you look in and see a street car coming
apparently from down the street, it is in
reality coming up the street. OF course,
it has to be looked at from the proper
angle, and if the glance is only q. hurried
one the illusion is perfect.
Some time ago lady of a rather fussy
appearance was waiting near the arcade
entrance. She evidently wanted "a car
going east, because every few minutes
she would hurry to the doors and peer
down the street. Presently she happened
to glance at the mirror. Then she gave a
start and ran out to the sidewalk and
glanced down the highway.
Where is it?" she cried.
Just then a car going, west .rumblled by.
and the woman stared at it and then
turned and looked back suspiciously at
the tricky mirror. There were two or
three men standing in the entrance, and
they couldn't help smiling at her fidgety
actions.
She detected the smiles.
That's no joke to play on a ladyI" she
said with much haughtiness, then turned
abruptly and stalked down the street.

By Following the Habit OF Friends.
AS / took my coffee in very moderate
quantities, really did not believe what
my friends frequently told me, that
coffee was the cause of the gas on my
stomach, which has troubled me for,
oh, perhaps forty years.
l am now little over 60 years old,
and | know that this gas trouble came
on about the time / was 20, and has
been with me ever since. [ have de-
MED myself almost every kind of food
pleasant to my taste, but without any
appreciate benefit.
All my friends have known of my
trouble. as it has been of such long
duration. Some time ago | was called
to nurse a sick friend, who had Postum
Food Coffee in the pantry and used it
in place of coffee, praising 1t very
highly. For about a week J used it as
they did, as my only beverage, and the
second day / noticed a change in my
condition; and from that time on, L
never had one attack of the belching
of gas. The friends exclaimed, Why.
where has your trouble gomez and
everyone in the house knew that mad
been entirely cured by leaving off cof-
fee and taking Postum Cereal instead.
You can depend upon it that never
since that time has coffee passed my
lips. and never will while 1 can get the
food drink, Postum. My stomach has
grown so strong since that time that
can eat anything l like, and now take
great pleasure in my meals and in life
altogether. / send you list of friends
whom l know have been greatly helped
by leaving off the use of ordinary COT
fee and using Postum Food Coffee in
its place Some of these made very
fat, poor Postum on the start, as they
only boiled it few minutes, but it is
generally known now about here that
the only way to get the flavor is to boil
it long enough. L. NJ. Graham, 1923

AN UNKISSED KISS.

ing Colonel Bryan's Refusal.
Gu


Baltimore Sum-
Hon. William Jennings Bryan de-
clined to kiss a pretty girl in Texas
last week, remarking at the same time
that he was not Hobson. There was
probably no intention on Mr.. Bryans
part to make the young lady feel bad
ly or to reflect on the osculatory
achievements of the hero of the Merri-
mac Doubtless what he means to in
innate was that he lacked Hobson's ca
pacity and endurance, and that he
would prove a disappointment to the
ladies if he attempted to enact a role
that might demand millions of kisses
in the course of the next year or two
Possibly he also had private reasons
of a domestic character that were
weighty and convincing.
The unmarried hero may rove gayly
about in the garden of female lowell
ness, slipping honey from every flower
that holds up its pretty lips to him, but
the married hero is obliged to conduct
himself with more reserve and less
gayety He has a superior officer at
home, to whom he is responsible for his
behavior and who is not likely to view
with favor campaigns of sentiment and
OSCILLATION.
The wife of the political hero may
have no objection to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. but she is
very apt to veto free and unlimited
kissing on the part of her husband, and
as a domestic committee on resolutions
to strike that plank out of his platform
with a promptness and force that
would reduce it to kindling wood.

A FORTUNATE MONARCH.

Mutso Hito, emperor OF Japan. is a
happy man. And well he may be, for he
ia one OF the very few monarchs who
possess the utmost affection and conf
dence of his people. Their feeling has
just been attested by the action of the
Japanese parliament in unanimously
voting the emperor 2o.OOOOO0 yen. about
equal to the same number of American
dollars. The money goes TO the emper-
or's private purse. which Is taken from
the indemnity which Japan received
from China at the close of the war with
that country.
The vote of this princely gift Is ac-
companied by statement which sets
forth the great services of Mutso Hito

Mr.. VIRGIL'S BIO NUGGET.

4 single chunk OF gold weighing 9S
pounds and worth s1l, $50! This was
the size and value of the nugget that T..
IL. Virgil of East Portland found in
French Gulch, near Gold Hill. Colum-
bia county. California, in 1867, says the
Morning oregonian.
Il tell you" remarked Mr.. Virgil, as
his eyes lighted up with the recollection
of that famous find. THAT was the event
of lifetime, and caused much excite
ment all over the country. Up To that
time il was the largest nugget that had
ever been uncovered in California. II
was mere accident. and some one else
might have been the lucky one.
II had partner named West, and
we had been mining on French Gulch,
but were not doing much, and we de-
cided TO go over to the Fraser river
and we sold out the very claim where
afterward found the big chunk of gold.

when he found big nugget TO sit down

till he could make safe disposition
OF it. In this case we formed a pro-
cession and took the chunk to the ex
press Office where the amazement Of
the officials was great indeed. The
chunk OF gold had some quartz I'm 1T,
