ORIGINAL ARRANGEMENTS OF SONS OF
THE REVOLUTION NULLIFIED.
It was learned last night that serious hitch
had occurred In the plans of the Sons of the
Revolution for their new building. Some time
ago the committee Of seventy. the executive
body OF the organization. voted TO erect a new
building which was TO serve the headquar-
ters OF the organization. Several sites including
one in Fifty-seveuth-st., were considered. but
before any decision was reached it is understood
that some difficulty arose and all previous ar
rangements were nullifed.
A special meeting Of the committee OF seventy
was called for tonight, but late last week was
postponed until December > The greatest
secrecy is observed by all members Of the or
ganiZatiou.
David Banks Of No. 10 West Fortieth-st
member Of the building committee, last night
denied the statement that plans OF the proposed
structure had been sent TO the members or the
committee for approval.
There is a hitch in the proceedings at the

auspices Of the West Side Branch of the Young
Mems Christian Association. Jacob A. Riis spoke
on Theodore Roosevelt Example Of Citizen

mentioned the name of Justice Jerome. saying that
he a Iegatee of Roosevelt a resolute man, who
would not take unfair advantageous who
had the manhood always TO do the right he
saw It.
He called to mind of the sayings of Presf-
dent Roosevelt, that il better TO be faithful
than famous and said that ii was because he had
lived up that principle and been faithful that
the fight for better things had been won and
Roosevelt haG become famous.
Surely this IS Gods country said Mr Riis

DON'T WORRY, DEAR.

Don't worry, dear; the blackest years
That clog the forward view,
Each thins to nothing when Il neaTs.
And we may saunter through.
The darkest moment never comes.
Il only looms before;
The loss OF home is what benumbs,
Not trouble at the door.
Don't worry. dear, the slouds are black.
But with them comes the rain,
And stifed souls that parch and crack
May thrill with sap again.
The burden bear as best We can
And there'u be none to bear:
Hard work has never killed a man,
But worry did its share.
Don't worry, dear; don't blanCh, don't yield,
But dare the years 20 come;
Nor give the enemy the field
Because We beat his drum.
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing, though they gaU,
We know that life is love. my dear.
And life and love are all.
