WILL DEARMOND ENTER, TOO.
Friends of the Congressman Urging
Him Toward the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 24,-lnusual
pressure is being brought to bear on
Representative DeArmond to induce
him to enter the Senatorial fight in
Missouri. Mr. DeArmond himself is
preserving dignified silence. He
doesn't like to talk about the subject
for the newspapers and does not
want the situation exploited at this
time,
Like every other man in Missouri

correspondent for The Star, 81 would
like to be senator, but that doesn't

a man interested in securing an office
that would not appear hall SO favor

survey the field. | would want to
give the subject more thought and
confer with my friends before getting
into the contest"
THE RETICENCE OF DE ARMoND.
The Sixth district Congressman
has acquired the reputation OF being
the most reticent member OF the
House. When he makes speech he
is more attentively listened to than
any other Democrat. Other leaders
make it known when they are going
to deliver a set speech. They want
their constituents. know it and do
not fail to notify the newspaper men
that something will be going on.
Not so with DeArmond II he has
4
ever told anybody in Washington
when he was going to make n speech
or asked that any kind OF a notice
about himself or what he had done
be printed. it is not known. His re-
cent speech on the Philippines was
admittedly the best effort on the
Democratic side and members talked
about it on the street ears and in the
hotel Hobbies. And yet DeArmond
was practically forced to make it by
his colleagues. He did nothing to
help himself when the Missouri dele
cation nominated him for Speaker
before the Democratic caucus. He
never has had to fight in the usual
way for any Office he has ever held,
but il he goes into the senatorial
fight against Stone, Clark and Wal
lace it will be different.
| HIS CHANCE TO QUIT.
Some of those who have urged
Judge DeArmond to make the race
have told him that he ought to de-
clare himself out of the running for
Congress in his own district, take his
| life in his hand and fight for it. In
no other way, they declare, could he
hope to win. Standing for two offices
at once is handicap in Clark, and
Stone is making the most of it. Ii
DeArmond decides to enter the fight,
it is believed that he will go at it
earnestly. He knows that Stone
cannot be defeated in any other way
| His declaration of candidacy will
mean that his Missouri friends have
advised him that he can win by max
ing an aggressive fight. The word
comes from Missouri that Stone is
not as strong as he was several
months ago. Clark has not made
any perceptible Roadway, and much
of the opposition to Governor Stone
is looking for another candidacy OF
dignity and standing in the party
who has never been identified with
factions and has no entangling al.
liances.

The Wife S Appeal.

(Fhe following poem was publish
over one hundred years ago, and
here reproduced on request of a So
scriher
Come near me, let me lay my hand
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper in thine ear,
Loves last and fondest vow.
The lips that breathe these trembling words
VIII soon be cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel ne more,
Their warm and loving breath.
go from thee; God only knows
How have longed to stay
How have shuddered thus to tread
The long and shadowed way.
Faith tells me that soon may know
The joy the blessed find,
And yet fslter, while cast
A lingering look behind.
i see the loved before me here, ---
In bitterness and tears,
But can leave thee something stlll
d, To light thy weary years;
4 Young tender forms will cling to thee,
Y Perhaps will mlss my tone,
And though they will not share thy grief,
You will not be alone.
Fold them closer TO thy breast,
To soothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hours
The motherlsss must know.
The world with all its hopes and joys,
viii sometimes make thee glad,
But they must llnger round heart
All desolate and sad.
And o. when time shall calm thy grief,
Per chance the hour may come,
When thou shalt win another form
To share thy heart and home;
When thou wilt welcome TO thy board,
A younger, fairer face
And bid thy children smile on her
Who takes their mothers place.
But think not could speak TO thee,
That would frown or blame,
Though they should love the stranger one,
And call her by my name;
For they can speak to thee for me
While in thee Is their trust,
A word, smile, look like mine,
VIII call me from the dust.
Yet make my grave no place for tears,
But let the dear ones bring
To cheer thy mothers lonely home
The blossoms of the spring;
And even thou too, may'st kneel,
y And softly press the earth
That covers her whose face once gave
A brightness to thy hearth.
Then will the forms of early years,
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou can st forget
Thou has another bride,
She may be all thy heart can ask
So dear, so true to thee,
But o! the spring time of your love
Its fullness was for me.
May she be blsst whs comforts thee,
And with gentle hand
Still guide the little trembling ones
That make our household band;
She cannot know he tenderness
That fills their mothers breast,
But she can love Them for thy sake,
And make them more than blest.
Yet keep one place, ore little place,
From all the rest apart,
One spot which call "home"
Within thy faithful heart;
And In the holy hour Of dreams
When spirits Ill the air,
4 With tender eye and folded wing.
Pll softly rest nj, there.
May God forgive this erring love,
That Is to mortals given
1t almost woos my spirit back
From happiness and heaven;
And yet feel 1t will not die .
When this frail life Is DER,
But watch till oil my loved ones come,
When we shall part No MORE

living hXDniIY Work.

That which we earn, or which we work
for, is worth more to us than that which
is given to us without any effort on our
part. This is in accordance with Gods
best dealings with His children, and all of
mans experience tends to confirm this
truth. Even in Eden. before mans fall.

at his best, and while God was caring for
him as His favorite child. When later, in
the wilderness. the children of Israel were
being led by God. and fed by bread from
heaven day by day. they had, each and
all, to earn enough for living by picking
up their needful food. When the rich
Boaz was won to an interest in attractive
Ruth, the Moabtish young widow. he did
not say to the laborers in his lordly fields:
Give her all the grain she needs or
wants but he said: "Let her CLEAN. even
among the sheaves." That was the better
way for Ruth. Having what she cleaned
was better than would have been having
what was given her in charity 1t was the
same in the new dispensation as in the
old. The word of the apostle was as to
the early Christians IF any man will not
work, neither let him eat" Our highest
privilege Is of working for our living. not
of living without work. Let us be crate
full that we have the blessing of work.
When we have living support in connec-
ton with work, that is something more TO
be grateful for. May we be spared from
living without work! Sunday-School Times.
