seek refuge. He has been a stubborn Ajax
and his favorIte attitude has been the defiance

electricity into the subways of politics may not
be always effective. His best friends ought to
advise Devery that II is almost time for him

been wonderfully successful far in escaping
the fire OF the celestial batteries, the next bolt

The Supremacy of Right.

oh, II is hard to work for God.
10 rise n take His part
Upon this battlefield of earth
And sometimes not lose heart!
lie hides Himself so wondrously.
As though there were no God;
lie is least seen when all the powers
or Ill are most abroad.
Or He deserts us at the hour
The Tight is all but lost,
And seems to leave us to ourselves
just when we need Him most.
III masters good; good seems to change
To Ill with greatest ease,
And, worst Of all, the good with good
is at cross purposes.
All! God is other than we think;
Ills ways are far above,
Far beyond reasons height, and reached
Only by childlike love.
Workmen OF God! o lose not heart,
But learn what God Is like;
And In the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike.
Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God Is on the field when He
Is most Invisible.
Blest. too. is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie;
And dares TO take the side that seems
Wrong to mans blindfold eye.
For right is right, since God is God:
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.

What Happened Whom One Woman went
to Call on Another the Other Day.
New York Evening Sun: A woman the
other day went to call upon another wo-
man who may be always relied upon to
act up to certain well-recognized idiosyn-
crasies. With great ceremony the caller
was ushered into the drawing room,
with Its dim lights. It's RANT fragrance OF
incense, Its blazing fire upon the hearth.
Hardly had the butler announced her
name when the hostess rushed forward
and grasped the visitor with both hands.

hands and turning to the wood box by

as a turn OF the head proved, for there
lay the book blazing away merrily be-
