There IS a pathos in Moses sorrow
His was one of the great eriefs NJ
history But heaven is full of those
who have labOTed and striven and prav-
ed toward some one great hope. and

men generally die disappointed But
that fact by no means makes their
lives failure. The good that men do

Sublimity Of Moses Death.
Moses was sublime in his calm resig-
nation TO Gods Will He complained
not, but trusted and obeyed. although
he was conscious Of his near earthly
departure He was sublime in his
preparations for death. He gave his
farewell instructions. exhortations, and
blessings 10 the nation He coDsecrat-
ed his uccessor-Joshua-to his Office.
He rewrote the laws for the people to
keep. He composed a poem upon the
goodness and salvation Of God, called
the Song of the Rock''-a song that

The most remarkable 81 all Moses pro-
ductioIs was The Magma Charta OF
Prophecy"
Having finally blessed the people in
the fashion Of the great patriarchs Of
earlier times, Moses, In the sight OF the
great camp OF people, assembled the
slopes Of the mountain alone to die He
went alone No one accompanied him
but God. All men really have to die
alone. But God showed his love to
Moses in giving him a vision Of the
Promised Land. Often God grants ais
servants these Pisgah visions of heaven
and OF the triumph and completion Of
their plans and work when they shall
be in a .higher world The vision being
over. Moses laid down to die. An old
Rabbinical legend says that God then
kissed Moses and took away his breath.
He did not die OF old age. His body
stiIl possessed a youthful vigor. It was
sin that had shortened his life. The
wicked often shorten their days by sin,
but even a good man may shorten his
days by wrongdoing.
God himself buried Moses. God never
let any man know where his sepulcher
is. possibly lest 1t should be made

BIRDS IN OCTOBER.

OF bird life in October, says Country
Life in America" there is much for
watchful eyes. The first frosts are fa-
tai to the great. body of insect life, de-
priving insectivorous birds of the major
part of their bill of fare. Today the
meadows are alive with skimming swal
lows, and countless thousands line the
telegraph wires. Tomorrow not one will
be seen. Already the advance. guard of
crows is stringing across the sky in
southern flight. The hawks also south
ward take their way.
From October ! to 10 the black
crowned night heron bids farewell to the
swamps and sodden edges of the ponds
and rivers. The bobolink leaves the
meadows to become the fat rice-bird of
Southern market hunters. The cuckoos,
swallows, chimney swift, least fly
catcher. redstart, ovenbird white-eyed
vireo. scarlet tanager. grasshopper spar
row, wood thrush, indigo bunting, and
black and white warbler take their de-
parture. At the same time the bronzed
grackle and rusty blackbird make
transient visit. The laugh of the loon

How often in our busy life
We speak bitter word:
We care not who the listeners are,
We care not where 'tis heard.
We do not know within our heart
To what it may amount,
And truly, it Is only one
OF Little Things That Count.
We often wound the trusting heart
By being insincere,
We do not think that which we do
May cause a lonely tear.
We give it but passing thought.
And bother not about
The Little Things that rise and cause
The trusting heart to doubt.
We often wrong within ourself
The ones who love us true,
Because they tell us Of fault;
We're all impatient, too.
And do not doubt the angry words
That to our lips may mount.
But watch and wait; 'tis only one
OF Little Things That Count.

Looks for Outbreak of Violence.

"The excitement in the coal region of
Pennsylvania is increasing almost
hourly. and look for an outbreak al
most any ;.me." said Mr.. ]. B. Harvey,
of Lebanon. Pa, at the Ebbitt last
evening. The tension between the op-
orators and the miners is gradually
growing more intense as the demand for
coal increases, and something will have
to give way. A number of disturbances
have occurred, which are, think. but
the forerunners of conflict between
the miners and the militia. And when

be settled, and coal will again be ship

WAR SONGS AND BATTLE MUSIC.
Some Tunes the Veterans Would Like to Hear
By Major j. ORITON KERBEY.

Apropos of the tempest in tea pot" over the
suggestion of one of the civilian directors of the g..
A. R. encampment that rag-time music should be
PLAYED by the visiting bands in place of the old time
patriotic airs old soldier begs leave to record his
observations as staff officer to the effect that dur
ing the civil war he never heard any music during
battle, and very little, if any, patriotic singing in
camp, while the marches were of every stvle and
nation.
The best recollected music of those "unforgotten
days. was of love and home. There is scarcely an
old soldier who has slept the field around Vir-
ginia camp fires in winter quarters, during our
:'Chrismas on the Rappahannock" covered, per-
haps, by the "snowish robe that winter weaves
around the dying year, but will recall voices from
under the blankets of comrades joining in the chorus
of "Anne Laurie"
Among the most familiar songs were "No One to
Love, None to Caress" and "Ever of Thee Fondly
Am Dreaming" Other sentimental old war songs
were "What Should Make You Sad, My Darling9'
and 'How Can ! Leave Thee?'
Between these we're sandwiched numerous comic
