the Evening.

James Whitcomb Riley read poem OF
Monument Place." W 4 was as follows
monument for the soldier
And what will we build ii of.
Can ye build it OF marble. or brass or bronze,
Outlasting the soldiers love?
Can We glorify it with legencs
AS grand as their blood hath writ
From the Utmost shrine of this land of thine
To the uttermost verge Of it?
And the answer came We would build IT
Out of our hopes made sure,
And out of our purest prayers and tears
And cut OF our faith secure;
We would build it out of the great white truth
Their death hath sanctified,
And the sculptured forms of the men in arms,
And their faces they died.
And what heroic figures
Can the sculptor carve in stone?
Can the marble breast be made to bleed
And the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered7
And the marble eyes be graved
To look their last, as the flag floats past,
On the country they have saved?
And the answer came: The figures
Shall all be fair and brave.
And. as BETTING. as pure and white
AS the stars above their grave,
The marble lips, and breast and brow
Whereon the laurel lies,
Bequeath us right to guard the flight
OF the old flag in the skies!
A monument for the soldiers!
Built of peoples love,
And blazoned and decked and panoplied
With the hearts we built it of!
And see that we build it stately,
In pillar and niche and gate
And high in pose as the souls of those

He Discusses 'The Business Man i'm
Politics"

Hon. Hugh H. Hanna responded to the
toast, 1.-The Business Man in Politics. He
said:
1.-The subject to which respond is broad
indeed. All Americans are business men.
therefore the business man In politics means
the American in politics. In truth, sup
pose l am to stand for the rank and nle,
for the plain soldiers who battle for prin-
ciples and rest only TO battle again, for the
army of patriots upon whose guiding cloud
by day is set the flag upon whose pillar or
fire at night is written unselfish patriotism
and whose reward is the consciousness or
duty well done
II claim to understand how to value the
great sacrifice incident to conscientious
service in official life, and at a chosen time
would gladly declare ii, but my apprecia-
ton of il is Swallowed or dimmed in that,
tonight, L avail myself of the opportunity
TO glorify the services of the volunteer-the
business man. II you please, L will refer
TO but one phase. and that the glorious
privilege of his service. Service of the State
is service of the people-the people are our
nighbors in a nighborhood as Wide as the
Union. To hopefully make common cause
with your neighbor for righteous principles
is indeed peculiarly an American inspira-
ton. Well-directed good intention for the
real benefit of all the people, in time, en-
cages successfully the support Of the Amerl-
can in politics: for. stripped of misguided
partisanship the American loves his coun-
try. He is a patriot. We boast or the 1ree-
dom of our citizenship, but Of all our hber-
ties there is no privilege so sacred as the
generous service of the State.
Permit me to exalt the too frequently
misunderstood and much despised, but
glorus word servant The servant Of the
people for righteousness is the grandest
ideal of Americanism. The membership list
of the Columbia Club is a list of names
of business men. A body of such men or
ganized for a high purpose has almost un-
limited power for good. To what purpose
do we dedicate this grand building tonight?
If it IS intended to consecrate this great
organization and dedicate this beautiful
property IS the cause of the people of In
diana and the Union, then, again the pos
sible benefit to the people is immeasur-
able.
.aThe caisson upon which the foundation
and superstructure of this great organiza-
ton and temple rise must be set in the
concrete of patriotic integrity. The power
of this club must be consecrated in lofty
Spirit to influencing and guiding the people
to true principles and issues in their own
honest interests. Gentlemen, 1 beg of you
to realize the glorious privilege of personal
sacrifice in unselfish support of the best
interest of the people-our neighbors-in a
neighbcrhood wide as the Union"

the mechanical appliances of which China is dn suchpdire need for developing her in ternal resources.
 'The wave of civilization in it's onward sweep is beginning to find a resting place in the Orient. The day is fast approaching when the potential energy of China will be converted into resistess activity. Then European arms will find 1t in vain to con- tinue to assert their dominance: the open door will be thing of the past, and China will be for the Chinese. In this present juncture 1t would be worth while for Eu- ropean nations to reflect seriously as 10 their treatment of China. The day of reck- oning is sure to come, when the righteous shall be rewarded and the wicked receive their dues
 Many writers have of late questioned Chinese patriotism, but I may say that the misguided Boxers have really been prompt ed by the welfare of their country. It was not because of the presence of foreigners, for some foreigners and missionaries In particular have done much for the good of China, but 1t was because of the seizure of territory on flimsy pretext that they arose to arms, like the American patriots did in the battle of Bunker Hill.
 "The good done by the missionaries is considerable The cause of the Boxer up- rising has been attributed to them but this Is far from being true It is due to the missionaries that the poorer classes of Chi- nese have been lifted up. The missionaries suffered only through indiscrimination, but not as the target of the Boxers movement.
 Had missionaries been the cause of ha- tired, the array of arms against them would have taken place long ere this. The seiz- ure of Kaio-Chow by Germany was the precipitating cause of the irritation, not the propaganda of western creeds
 Human nature, particularly Chinese. is ever in sympathy with religious sentiments. China has ecepted Buddhism from India, Mohammedanism from Arabia and Chris tianity from the west, in addition to her own Tacism and that splendid system of moral ethics from the well-known sage, Confucus. With the known religious toler- ance of China, the charge of antagonism to Christianity is not to be credited
 For missionaries to join in the cry for vengeance means to nullify all they have accomplished in the past. Hence missiona- ries in general and American missionaries in particular have the great opportunity of rendering Christianity acceptable to the Chinese by their spiritual intervention in behalf of China in her present trouble"

Czarina Asks for a Son.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch
 Czar Nicholas of Russia and his spouse have long asked heaven to bless them with a son, but as yet their request has not been complied with. They have not, how ever lost hope, and as last resource the Czarina resolved a few days ago to invoke the aid of the famous St. Leonard, who has a worldwide reputation for the readiness with which he grants the pleas of young wives
 There is a celebrated church in honor of the saint near Limoges, and prayers have just been offered there by the clergy of the parish on behalf of the Czarina Tn the edif1ce is a curious belt which is .sup- posed to have the power of performing miracles, and which women who desire to have favors granted must touch either personally or by proxy.
 Hardly a day passes that women do not make a pilgrimage to the church for this purpose, some who are childless praying that they may have children, and others praying that the expected children may be sons or daughters, the case may be. St. Leonard, it is said, listens attentively to all these prayers, and 1t is because he has re- gently shown great willingness to grant the requests of suppliants that the Car ina's friends are hopeful of good results.

For the amusement of the children she prepared for jump over a stone wall. In the vault of the horse she lost the reins, the horse darting away. The dog darted from beneath the cart as soon as the horse
