GODS MAGIC.

Crowned with floating splendor of fame, the sun
SINKS, and from west to east the wndless air
Flushes with tremulous warmth of rosy gray;
Golden and purple and blue the low clouds hang
Above the low ebbed sea that gimmering heaves
With long innumerous shudder of rppling surge
Beyond the wide moist sands. Eastward the night
Climbs slow with hooded brows, and langud day
hirtles her robe fantastical and leans
10 take the embrace of darkness. Heaven and
earth
Keep silence; strangely sounds as in dream
Thy dear voice low and grave, and hushed and
charmed
We wait the mystic change that brings the stars
And Groom of shadowy seas Dear in this pause,
This magical suspense of dreaming skies
Our spirits draw nearer, and more close we feel
The Eternal Presence. Yelling flesh is naught
And naught the hurrying hours; the abysm Of
space
Measureless is span, and rolling suns,
And swaying seas, and seeming solid earth
Are shadows tricked in hues that change and fade.
Are dreams that melt before the Enchanter' 3
breath
That moves the faery world and thee and me.

THE PRICE.


That was a sorry bargain that made.
You offered me an hours talk with you
By the great logs that light your chimney place,
An hours right of looking on your face,
feeting smile, little laugh or two.
How could | guess the price that must be paid?
That was a sorry bargain that made.
That a sorry bargain that l made.
Outside the wind dashed like 'wildered bird;
Against your window flashed the driven rain,
And in its pauses thrilled your voice again.
Little knew the cost of every word
That was a sorry bargain that l made.
How could guess the price that must be paid2
That a sorry bargain that ! made.
For that hour this is the price | give:
Old days, old dreams and thoughts aforetme free,
The inmost heart, the very soul of me,
Content Of all the days have to live.
How could guess the price that must be paid2
That was a sorry bargain that made.

GOOD AND BAD NEWS.
Lesson From NnpoIeon's Method of
Dealing with Each Kind.

Dealing with Each Kind.
Napoleon gave this order to his secre-
tary
During the night enter my chamber as
seldom as possible. Do not awake me
when you have any good news 10 COM
municste: with that there is no hurry.
But when you bring bad news rouse me
instantly. for then there is not a moment
to be lost"
In this order OF the great general. great
schemer, great gambler. great adyenturer.
great statesman. great Iawmaker. to his
secretary there is valuable lesson for all
the generals. Schemers, gamblers. adven-
turers, statesmen and lawmakers of the
world and lesson still more important
for every little human being. for every
man OF business.
The feehlest of us is reused to activity,
to initiative, by good news. We are
ready for 1t. We want 20 he walked up
to hear it.
But when bad news comes we don't
want to he walked We pull the bed
clothes over our heads and try to shut it
out. We close our eyes and 90 to sleep
cgain. And while we are asleep the bad
news finishes the b~d work which il had
hegun.
The famous old picture shows the east
ern dcspot climbing on his couch, gazing
out across the country. On the ground
beside him lie headlcss corpses of unfor-
tunate creatures, messengers of evil It'd
'ngs." These he bcheaded as they reach
ed him. And his lay was quickly ended.
Had Napoleon occupied the place of
that eastern numbering potentate you
would have found him sitting or the edge
of his oriental bed. with bare legs, di-
sheveied hair and animated face. The
bearers of evil news would have been
alive and in turn interrogated with pas
siouate interest.
With the Nuickncss of human thought
plans to counteraCt the bad news would
have been formed, and the next shifting
of the scenes would have shown Napo-
leon sound asleep, refusing to be awaken
ed while the bearers of good tidings stood
cooling their heels outside
Study Napoleon's order to his secre-
tary. Apply 1t to your own lives Be
cool in the face of good news. Don't
waste your energies congratulating your
self on it. Save your strength and re-
sources and vitality for bad news. Go
out to meet it boldly and give orders that
will admit it to you even when sleeping.

A French physician of an observing ma,
ture noticed that most persons who
play cards are in the habit of mois-
tening one or two of their fingers on their
lips for the purpose of dealing the cards
more easily, and it AT once occurred to
him that germs of certain diseases might
be thus transmitted from one player TO
another.
lie investigated the matter thoroughly,
and as result of his experiments. which
lasted for aome months, he announced
that diseases are frequently transmitted
in this way and that the disease which is
transmitted the most frequently aud
against which consequently the greatest
precautions should be taken is consump.
ton. Why the germ of consumption
should attain to such special prominence
at card tables is not explained, but the
doctor claims to have ample proof that it
can be transmitted from one player to
another more easily than any other germ.

Zoroastrianism, or Parsi-ism, is q
monotheistic form of religion, not a poly
theistic one, as some people would have
it. There is but one God under different
names, Mazda, Adura and Ahura Mazda.

a religious doctrine. set forth in the sa.
cred books of Avesta. According to He.
rodotus the Persans had no images of
the gods no temples, no altars and they
considered the use of them a sign Of fol
ly. The modern Parsis are of the same
opinion as their forefathers and repudi
ate any representation of the deity.
Ioroaster's speculative philosophy
teaches us that the world is the work Of
two hostile principles. Spenta-Maynu.
the good principle, and Angra- Maynu.

one God, the first being the author Of

A special from Chicago says that the
American League guns ere now to h" 'ev-
eied at the Cincinnati club. They have
done noble work for the cause at Philadel-
phia and st. Louis, but their work will not
be completed until they have landed Frank
Hahn. the left-handed pitcher, who has
been the star of Brush's team for the past
two seasons.
Ban johnson and hts followers want to
deal the Cincinnati club a blow. and. as
one of them said yesterday. Brush only
has one player that the American League
wants, and that IS Hahn"
Advices at American League headquar-
ters are to the effect that Hahn has not yet
signed with Cincinnati for next season, and,
If he is not landed for one of the American
League clubs. it will not be because the
effort was not made.
1t Is said that Hahn would have signed
some weeks ago, when he was approached,
BIT he wanted to wait and see what play
ers would leave the National before he
would give his word. 1t is figured that he
has been shown enough to convince him
that the American League will be the
stronger organization next year, and that
there will be little trouble encountered in
getting him into line.

IMP'S FINE RACE.

Old Mare Gets Into u Soft Place and

The races at the Morris Park track yes
terday were noteworthy for the reappear-
ance of the veteran black mare Imp, who
captured the handicap in impressive fash
ion. Early in the season the announce
ment was made that Imp had been retired
for good, and that she would not be seen
on the racetrack again. Her handlers,
however-Harness and Wimmer-changed
their minds, and the veteran racing machine,
whose popularity with the racegoing pub
lie has always been most manifest, was
sent to the post again. but hardly Gid her

Yesterday Imp was allowed I'm the handi-
cap for three-year-olds and upward witt
only 100 pounds on her back, and with
Shaw holding the reins. Decanter. the
slow beginner, was the favorite, his OPEN
ing price being to 5, quickly backed down
to to ). Imp's price at the opening quota
tions was to 1, but sentiment carried this
down to to 2 This afterward reacted to
Z to 2, as the majority of the spectators
could see nothing except the erratic De-
canter. Hammock was the only entry to
decline the issue.
The five were sent away in good order,
and Shaw at once sent imp away in the
lead where the aged mare likes to run,
and a position in which she generally does
her best. st. Finnan was also in winning
humor, and the two cut out II lively pace
throughout. Imp always had little the
best of the argument, and, finishing amid
the frantic applause of the spectators, won

Decanter showed disposition - leave the

could never get anywhere near Imp and St.

American League Magnates at Mil
waukee.

There was a gathering Of Amerio n
League base ball magnates at Milwaukee,
President Ban Johnson Charlie Comiskey,
Clark Griffith and Henry Killilea being
present.
Reports from Milwaukee say that the
party gathered in that city to talk over
the affairs of Comiskey's club so they said
but the real purpose was to discuss the pro-
posed transfer of the Brewers to st. Louis.
The Milwaukee owners refuse to take part
stock in the ST. Louis deal and say that
they will sell the club outright or not at
ALL That Is where the hitch comes in
now, as the st. Louis people want the Mil
waukeeans to retain an interest.
Before Mr. Johnson left Milwaukee he
announced that Matthewson, Dineen and
Willis had not been reinstated by the
league and that there were no prospects Of
doing so. Comiskey also denied having
signed the New York pitcher.

THE SHAMROCK FOR SALE.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Cup Challenger
on the Market.

The New York Herald Of today says: Sir
Thomas Upton has determined to sell the
Shamrock II and she is now on the Amer
lean market. Before Sir Thomas left New
York for Chica go the beaten challenger was
placed in the hands of Messrs. Tans, Le-
moine Crane of this city with orders to
sell her.
What Sir Thomas asks for the yacht Is,
of course, not known outside of those di-
rectly interested. but the price, it is said,
is not of a prohibitory character, II some
wealthy American yachtsman should hap
pen to want just such racing craft.
The reasons Sir Thomas wishes to part
with the Shamrock II can only be guessed.
He and most of his yachting associates.
both professional and amateur have insist
ed that the boat was defeated only by being
outiucked in the matter of favoring breeZes,
