When Roosevelt Was CHALLENGED.
I'M the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle
The President of the United States might
once have made his appearance on the
field Of honor" So, at least, one of the
men who knew him when he was a pale
delicate youth in the west has just been
telling in some early recollections of Mr.
Roosevelt. A fire-eating foreign marquis,
who owned land on both sides Of the Roose-
welt ranch was offended at certain alleged
trespassings on his land, and threatened to
kill young Roosevelt on sight. Roosevelt
made inquiries Of the overseer as to when
the killing was to begin. and then came a
letter from the marquis declaring that
between gentlemen such differences could
be settled in only one way" Mr. Roosevelt
went to one Of his men and said II don't
want to disgrace my family by fighting
duel, but won't be bullied Now, as l am
the challenged party, l have the privilege
OF naming weapons. / am no swordsman,
and pistols are too uncertain, SOL will
meet him with Winchester rifles at ten
PAGES; both to fire until one drops" The
result was a denial on the part of the mar
quis that he intended to challenge Mr..
Roosevelt, and a statement that he thought
their differences could be settled without
any trouble.

like sacrilege to speak Of Miss Porter as
anything but a lady.

away of his head and continued about the

Lavender Leaves.
From the New England Magazine.

The waving corn was green and gold,
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up drOwsy drone,
e When Mistress Standish, folding down
Her linen. white as snow
Between it laid the lavender,
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes Of grayish green,
Still moist with morning dew.
Recalled a garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue;
An English garden, quaint and old,
She nevermore might know;
And SO she dropped homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin,
And fell In many a shred;
Some went to bind the soldiers wounds
And some to shroud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw,
And violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across It to and fro
The ghost of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.

Smear Points.

The light from heaven can never lead
astray.
The world must read the Gospel in liv-
ing epistles.
Resignation is putting God between
ones self and ones grief.
The most momentous truth of religion
is that Christ is in the Christian.
The time to show your Christian man
hood is when it is put to the sore test.
You cannot dream yourself into a char
acter; you must hammer and forge your
self into one.
The light of the Christian shines bright
est for Christ, when he is least conscious
that it is shining.
Not all Gods messengers are angels.
Any hand that knocks at the door may
bring a call from the King.
1t is better to build life than to make
a fortune. Character is a greater accom-.
plishment than riches.
He who manifests humility, love and
gratitude when told o; his faults has
made large attainments in the Christian
life.
Spiritual sustenance cannot be effective
in an abstract form, as pure Truth; it
must come to us through the energy OF a
spiritual life.
We need a faith that will GRASP
Christ with the heart" in order to ZEN
dure to the end" Heart communion
alone will give us this grasp.-Ram'

Thinps That the World Needs.

There are many things that the world
needs, and there is much work to be
done in many directions; but most of all
does the world need God, most of all
does it need righteousness, faith, hope
and love! The world needs better con-
ditions for its poor and wretched, better
tenements in which to house them; but
it needs also better lives for the tene-
ments when built. 1t needs better oppor-
tunities for its teeming multitudes; but
it needs also clearer vision to see the OPP
portunities and stronger wills to grasp
them. The world needs scientific knowl-
edge, but it needs religious emotion as
well. 1t needs its thunderous industries,
but it needs the sense of kinship to God.
1t needs it's practical ideals; but it needs
supremely the vision of the Highest. AS
the heart panteth after the water brooks,
SO panteth my soul after Thee, o God!
My soul thirsteth for God, for the Living
God" From Him we came, and we are
disauieted until we rest in His bosom
until we feel the ocean of His love flowing
about our imperfections swallowed up in
His perfection, and our restlessness melt
ing into His everlasting peace.-Rev. MIR.
