THE MURMUR OF THE WORLD.

year that maybe was happier and Is done, is repeated in the heated hush of this throbbing dawn, and 1t would be burned into every soul that doubts: In words, whatever the individual conditions, sum- shine will come into every life that will receive it. Not perhaps upon the full rounded divine notes of the divinest ora torio, nor yet upon tinkling of the testers bells but it shall come to him that ask eth. It depends upon sympathy, associa- tion, companionship; unselfish desire to promote the comfort of others.
 One may not live alone or apart in spirit or otherwise. We must needs know and in some degree love each other. There needs must be a spirit of companionable- ness No man can live within himself or without others.

 lark,
 When neither is attended,; and, think, The nightingale if she should sing by day, When every goose Is cackling, would be

 Friends and associates are socially and morally essential. Every man Is respon- sible to his kind for the deeds, the con- duct, of his own life. He cannot be inde- pendent of his fellow-men, however much he might desire to be; and there is some thing radically wrong about one who has any desire to be a law and life unto himself.
 Our burdens of vain wishes have too much to. do with unrighteous Self. In the world Self is the chief of sinners, for 1t Is Self that betrays women, forges, embez- zles, steals. commits murder, and abuses all trusts, violates all holy things.
 Personal selfishness makes the glutton, the libertine, the drunkard, the liar. the money -grubber the miser, the infidel, and all that depraved element of humanity which corrupts goods morals and drags innocence down to the scarlet rags of sin.
 In multitudinous instances self1shness hurts none save those who are of it accursed; but the iniquity of 1t in its general effect upon the fortunes of mankind is enough to appall the virtu- ous, and gratify the devil in his hunger for human souls.
 The wretch concentred all in self'' is the most contemptible of the characters of man; he is least to be tolerated.
 Therefore, beloved, trust no man who is truly selfish, and shun every selfish woman. In man selfshness Is wicked; in woman 1t is worse. A selfish woman has as little soul-comfort as an unpraying one, and neither can know any spiritual joy in this life.
 When two true and unselfsh women meet, truth and mercy kiss each other. Then is there a conimingling of spirits that are the purest and best in the world,

 But there are watchful and devilish boys Tn Washington. as elsewhere. They witnessed the coloners departing man. oeuvres. When out of sight they appro- priated the carmine sleeve and stored 1t carefully away for future use. They watched in relays throughout the day. Late in the afternoon their vigil was re- warded. Signals passed quick and fast, and in jiffy the red undershirt sleeve was floating gracefully from the knob of the door of the house in which the Texan had on the previous afternoon entered the room of the deshabille woman. A merry twinkle shone in the eyes of the wise statesman, as he hove in sight of his landmark. He boldly walked in. Then, there was trouble, and lots of 1t.
 The Texan moved the next morning Into a neighborhood where he faund house unlike all others in that section of the city, and there he continued ito dwell dur ing all of his congressional term.

 This statesman once bought a prepared speech on the tariff questions and printed 1t in the Congressional Record. as though he had delivered 1t, and sentfmany thous- ands of it in printed form. into his dis trict. In this, however, he differed but little from many other alleaed statesmen. Many have bought words add thoughts of others and proflted politically thereby.

They are sim ply watching for landmarks to be guided by, and, as these landmarks are being constantly moved about by ambitious and devilish, aspiring politicians, the rank and file of the convention is a bit scattered or, as the baseball enthusiasts say of a pitcher who gets rattled-they are up in the air. The weather, the platform in structions and the fact that the delegates don't know exactly what they should do, have to do with the case. Therefore a two months vacation for calm considera- tion might be well. That would be the ad- vice of c

"A burden of vain wishes hopes that
 died, yaxue dreams of fame and wraiths of
 brave renown,
 Pass in the sunlight, notes that vanish
 down,
 Beyond me, standing on this old hillside, And disappear in circling vistas wide, Like autumn leaves that scatter, worn
 and brown
 When summer lays aside her tattered
 crown,
 And sombre winds, and rusted fields abide. A burden of vain wishesl Nay, not so! Your hand-casp Is my haven and my
 hope;
 Your love and faith the utmost gross
 and scope
 Of dreams and fact-this at the last
 know, Here, waiting, while the sunsets after Burns like torch in valley and on
 slope"
 None of us ever wished vainly if all wishes have eliminated in the supreme possession of one friend whose hand doubted, my beloved. l+
 Even as the hero of old gathered to his breast many spears of the enemy and thereby broke the battle line, enabling his comrades to rush to victory over his brave heart stiled, so also our heroes, friends, lovers gather to themselves all the shafts of ill-fortune aimed at us, and with cries of triumph and joy we rush forward in the lovelight conquering all the world that we wish for our own.
 In this world every day brave hearts are gathering to themselves the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune to redeem 7 their. beloved from the bondage of un- rest.
 Every day the battle line of our spiritual and material enemies Is being broken by the noble sacrifice the immolation of our beloved; and in this there Is found com pensation for all the burdens of vain wishes one ever bore.
 Compensating grace for every loss is given by those who are faithful, and in abundant fullness with the graces given by divine mercy to whomsoever Is willing to receive
 The world is full of beauty when the soul is filled with love--love for the be- loved, love for mankind, love for that Love which is God; and from every soul that loves broadly and Loyalty and un- selishly every burden of vain wishes is lifted and in its place rests rosy joy cry- ing, Behold, by the sign of the cross of human faith I have conquered!
 The soul shadows of the night lift with the dawn. Sleep bears pain, away in it's semblance of death. The heart that breaks and sobs itself asleep in prayer at midnight is the heart that rejoices ere noontide floods the world in fair radiance. The thought, uttered In this place in a

BRENNAN STORE
A BUSY PLACE
August Sales There Unpre-
Cedented in History Of
the Store

Brennan's big store, 221 Market street.
is a bee hive of activity these days, due
to the big trade sale of furniture and car
pets which this house holds during Au-
gust of each year. Wonderful values are
offered during this month that appeal so
strongly To shrewd. economical buyers
that not only do they buy themselves, but
feel they are doing their friends and
neighbors a favor by advising them to
take advantage of the opportunity TO OBJ
tain such wonderful bargains.
The purpose of this selling without a
profit, of high grade furniture and car
pets, is not only to dispose of goods car
ried from the past season to make room
for the new goods for Fall, but is more
particularly for the purpose Of advertis-
ing the business generally and to put life
and snap into it at a time when it is or
dinarily dull.
One agreeable feature in connection
with advertised bargains offered by this
house is that when a particular article
advertised is asked for it is found to be
fully up to the standard claimed for it,
and no effort is made to get the customer
to purchase q substitute not of equal
value.
Particularly noticeable as instances Of
remarkable values from among the forest
Of bargains offered during this month";
one sees well-finished oak and imitation
mahogany Morris chairs, including hand
some cushions, for as low as $2.75, that
sell regularly at $3.50; solid oak chamber
suites at $3.50, reduced from $3.50; chif-
foniers. with carved backs at $3.50; ex-
tension tables, in polished oak, for $3.50;
dining chairs, full size, made of oak, with
cane seats, for 81 cents; sdeboards, with
bevel plate mirrors and lined drawers, al
$40: baby coaches, that look good SO
value for So; handsome three-piece silk
cover parlor suites at SIS, that were made
to sell for 1926; $3.50 velvet carpet for 81.
81 Brussels for 20 cents, and inlaid lin
Oeums the heretofore unknown price
of 81 per square yard. Another induce
ment to supply ones Fail needs during
this month is the liberal offer of Mr..
Brennan TO make, lay and line free OF
charge all carpets purchased during this
sale.
To afford everyone an opportunity &c
take advantage of this mOney-savinq
chance. buyers have the privilege of max
ing their selections now and by making
a partial payment, the goods will be
stored free of charge and delivered at
any time later in the season.
The high reputation for integrity and
fair dealing enjoyed by this house in the
commercial and financial world is a guar
antee that perfect satisfaction is assured
every patron, and that no cause for com
plant, cue to misrepresentation or lack
of courteous consideration viii arise.
Ones loss Of time will be well repaid
by a walk through the five great floors
and an inspection Of the immense stock
displayed.

UNCLE SAM Is
A CAREFUL MAN
Immunity From Loss in the
Great Postal Business
Is Marvellous

When the chief inspector Of the Post
office Department admits that com
plants have been received during the
year concerning 52,306 letters, of which
Al 056 held Enclosures, and also con
corning 41,949 packages, the figures are
large enough to make the reader feel
that there are risks in the mails,
though he himself has never suffered a
loss. But figures that appear abso-
lutely large often dwindle and shrivel
when they are subjected to a COMPARE
son, and that is true in this instance,
for the government which received the
complaints handles every year some
5000 100000 pieces of postal matter.
Supposing also that the Al ,056 letters
which held Enclosures all went wrong,
the percentage of risk in the inclosure
practice would still remain almost in
initesimally small. The government
issues yearly more than $4,000 600
money orders, which are generally sent
through the mails and are SO rarely
.ampered with upon this showing that
a complainant might feel that he had
all the bad luck going. The probabili-
ties are that for the rest of his life he
would never experience another diff
Guilty of the kind and never meet an
other person who had.
Considering the bulk OF the business
the mails are interfered with so sell
dom that the letter which is said to
have been sent through it has never
been received may be regarded primar-
lily as a myth, and the letter which is
said not to have been received, though
It has certainly been sent. may be held
10 have got there. We know that this
effects upon very common form of
apology for seeming neglect, discourtesy
and Incidence, but the figures do not
lie They simply give rise to the pain
tul suspicion that there is a lack of
veracity in another quarter when the
explanations are over and the mails are
accused.
There is, however, more than one
saving clause in the statistics. Sixteen
hundred and thirty-fiye of the 1900
1Ostoffices in the United States were
'obbed last year and 643 were de
troyed by fire. Seyenty-one postal
ars We're wrecked, 81 stage coaches
we're held up, mail wagons were

r43 were cut, 1853 street and rural letter
)oxes were rified. Here is the warrant
or telling white lies with hard, un
nnching countenance and possible
.efuge also for the inventors of black
)nes. Though it be not sufficient to
'estore confidence, it should serve ex-
ellently we'll for Saving the face"
The immunity from loss in Uncle
