Did You Ever Listen, Brother

Did you ever listen, brother. TO the music Of
the rill,
As II sang in happy cadence. dancing gaily
down the hill?
Did you ever stop moment just to catch its
little song?
If you haven't, you have missed 1t; stop when
next you go along.
Have you never heard the soft diminuendo in
the grain?
When the breezes played upon 1t Autumn
light and happy strain? :.
Have you thrilled with pleasure as you stood
amidst the corn,
And heard its sweet bravuras on clear Sep
TENDER morn?
Did you ever think to listen to the diapason
grand,
When the Storm King sang in thunder, as he
swept across the land? w
Have you never caught the throbbing of his
mighty angry soul.
AS he struck his harp electric? Have you
never heard 1t roll?
Have you never paused to listen to the music
OF the spheres?
Such soul-stirring strains of melody ne'er
greeted mortal ears;
When Orion, with Arcturus, and sweet Luna
and old Sol,
Head the choruses of Heaven, and the angels
PROSTATE fall?
Have you ever listened, brother, for the music
deep and grand,
That is swelling all around you on the water
and the land?
Have You never caught the music that the lit
tie zephyrs play?
As they make of you their spinnet, when. they
meet you day by day.
Let me tell you, o, my brother, If you haven't
learned to hear
All the music that is swelling daily round you
year by year;
If you haven't caught the melodies that Nature
plays and sings,
You are missing all the music of Jehovah. King
of Kings.
All this music, o, my brother, o, my sister, is
for you,
will you not then listen for It, as your journey
you pursue?
1t will fill your life with sunshine, 1t will ban
ish pain and care,
If you only catch the music that is swelling
everywhere.

There are two great results of the
Roberts case. One is the obvious
demonstration in national moral sense
with its precedent for all time against
similar offenders. The other result is
to drive another nail in the coffin of
strict construction. The plain truth
is that Roberts is thrown out of con-
gress, regardless of anything the con-
stitution may guarantee him. Self.
preservation is Natures first law.
Against it, whether in foreign wars or
menace of internal corruption and
decay, the letter of the law will be in
voked in vain. This necessary inter-
probation is what makes the constitu-
ton a living, breathing intrument
and guide of advancement, and not a
dead wall across the path OF progress.

The new ten-dollar silver notes soon
to be issued will bear a handsome tri-
butte to the American navy. The GEN.
trail feature OF the certificates will be
a steel engraving OF the battleship
Maine, blowing the seas under full
steam, as she left the United States
for Havana, under Capt. Sigsbee, near
ly two years ago. The engraving is
unusually fine in workmanship and
spirited in conception. The white hull
stands out conspicuously on the water
with the dark caption OF the turrets
and heavy armament. Two heavy
guns point over the bow, which cuts
the water as gracefully as that of a
yacht. The other features OF the GER
tificate are meIalions of two OF the
naval heroes who made the flag re-
spected early in the century by their
victories over the British and the pi-
rates OF Mediterranean. The uniform
of that time, with its gold lace and
fringed epaulets, gives picturesque
historical character to the portraits.
Over each medallion is inclined the
partly draped figure ola goddess, hold
ing a branch OF laurel.y

Dan Coughlin, who figured so prom

Dan Coughlin, who figured so prom
ipently in the celebrated Cronin muir
der case in Chicago, has arranged his
business affairs and will locate in
Seattle. Coughlin was one of the
strong personalities in that remark
able group Of men who were partly
the outgrowth and partly the genesis
of Chicago municipal politics back in
the sos. At the time OF the famous
Cronin case he was on the city detec-
tive force, position which he after
wards abandoned when he went into
the saloon business. Many will re-
member the thrilling and perhaps
somewhat over-written Cronin tragedy
through all its long-drawn-out legal
processes. the evidence in the case
tended to show that the famous Clam
Na-Gael in Chicago had been rent into
two factions, and that Cronin belong
ed to one OF these, while Coughlin was
a member of the other. Outside OF
this fact, it is said, grew bitter per-
sonal enmity. Coughlin was placed
upon trial but the eviden ce introduced
failed to convict him of the crime.

Golfers Weekly says that a provi-
dent plumber, on leaving his home for
a holiday with his family, placed a
placard inside the hall door couched
in the following language: "To bur-
glars or those intending to burgle: All
my plated jewelry and other valua bles
are in the Safe Deposit company's
vaults. The trunks, cupboards, etc.,
contain nothing but secondhand
clothing and similar matter too bulky
to remove, OIL which you would realize
comparatively little. The keys are in
the left-hand top drawer of the side
board-if you doubt my word. You
will also find there check to bearer
for five dollars, which will remunerate
you for the loss of time and disapoint-
ment. Please wipe your feet on the
mat and don't spill any candle grease
on the carpets"

Altered The Case.

An exchange relates cruel joke
which young girl played on her
mother recently. She accidentfy found
a love letter that her father had writ
ten to her mother in their halcyon
days Of courtship. She read it to her
mother, substituting her own name
and that Of her lover. Tn, mother
raved with anger and stamped her
feet with disgust, and forbade her
daughter having an ything more to do
with the fellow who would write such
sickening nonsensical stuff. Then
the girl gave the letter to her mother
to read and suddenly the house be-
came so quiet she could hear the grass
grow in the back yard.
