MAKE YOUR LIFE A SONG.

Make your life a song
And, be it short or long,
Twill surely reach some soul upon life's
way;
Tho here you ne'er may know,
Eternity will show
How much it helped the toiler day by day.
Make your life a song;
Ay, make it full and strong;
And let its music ring out clear and sweet,
That it some heart may soothe,
Or make the rough road smooth
For some poor, tired wanderers bruised
feet.
Make your life song,
Its richest notes prolong;
They'll carry comfort with them on their
way
To some poor burdened one
Whose heavy tasks ne'er done,
And turn the gloom of night to clearest
day.
Make your life song.
And sing it all day long
To greet your fellow trav'lers as you go
On toward life's setting sun.
Whate'er your song has done
For other souls Eternity will show.

Caused By Explosion of Gaso-

SLA BUILDINGS TORN TO ATOMS
Firemen Now Working on the Ruins to
Recover Remainder of Victims-For-
Twilight Injured Sent to the Hospital
Loss is $4,000.

Philadelphia Aug.6-Six persons, all
colored, are known to be dead as re-
suit of the terrible gasoline explosion
last night which tore to atoms six
buildings on Locust street and wreck
ed over a score of others. A number
of victims yet remain in the ruins.
Forty-eight persons have been taken
to the hospitals, six of whom are prob
ably fatally injured. Twenty-eight are
suffering from fractured limbs and
burns.
The block where the explosion &C.
CURED is in section populated largely
by colored people.
1t was o'clock this morning before
the firemen had the ruins sufficiently
cooled to enable them to begin a
search for bodies supposed to be be-
meath the wrecked buildings. There
was steady downpour of rain max.
ing the debris hard to handle. The
search will be necessarily slow. Only
one of the dead has been identified and
| that is Annie Harris, aged four years.
The unidentified dead consists of the
bodies of two women, two men and a
child. The property loss is about $751;
1000.

TO BATTLE WITH ROOSEVELT.
New York's Governor May Seek the
Presidential Nomination.

New York, Aug. 6.-Senator .Platt,
in a brief chat for publication, states
that Governor Odell was not at pres
ent candidate for presidential nomi-
nation three years hence. But the
senator's intimation was that Cover
nor Odell would be candidate for
governor of New York a year from
next fall The senator's statement is a
discreet and characteristic one. No
one who has kept at all in touch with
various political influences in New
York has now any doubt that so far as
there can be penetration into the fut-
ure, it is plain that there is to be a
struggle between the regular organiza-
ton and the friends of Vice-President
Roosevelt

The following version Of he struggle

the plans of MIR. Hill, indicated by the
arrangements made for requirement by
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific companies of the Chicago. Builing-

the great exhibition of stock market
fireworks in both Northern Pacific and
Union Pacific stocks last week and
this, when the rival financial interests
