She had not any word to say
There was no one who stood by her;
For one misstCp in LIES young day
When love had seemed so good to her,
She walked from al: the world apart,
And kept her grief locked in her heart
A comrade dvear seemed Memory;
So all alone walked she.
But sang the blackbird in the brake,
1t seemed his song was made for her;
And all along the calm blue lake
The lilies pure were laid for her.
The honeysuckle in the dew
Around her door it's fragrance threw,
The eve lamb by her side would lead
And white doves there would feed
dream the Christ of Galilee
who on the dread cross died for her,
When near to death her steps shall be,
The gate will open wide for her.
That angel hands will draw her In.
And lock without the old-time sin.
And on her brow again will press,
Her lost youths happiness.

"Small Talk and Real Talk.

Lillian Whiting in Honrc and Flowers.
The privilege of having some one with
whom may exchange a few rational
words every day, as Emerson phrases it, is
the choicest gift in life. We are rich in
society and yet poor in companonship. In
the overflow of chatter we are starved for
conversation. Social life is SO largely an
affair of representation. 1t inclines so large
ly to the spectacular and to what it's chron-

the element of conversational intercourse
is almost eliminated. Yet. primarily, is
not that the supreme object of all friendly
meeting? When reduce to first prin-

SERMONS ON CIGARETTES.

From the Salt Lake Herald.
Officers of the naval recruiting station
recently opened in Salt Lake are uncon-
sciously preaching every day sermons that
should be heard by all the boys in Salt
Lake. The sermons are all on one subject,
a subject of vital interest to any boy who
wants to grow up into sound, healthy,
vigorous man, both in physique and in in
tellect. These officers say that the young
applicants for enlistment in the navy are
being rejected in large numbers every day
because they have what is known in the
medical fraternity as tobacco heart"
This is an ailment which comes as a di-
rect result of using tobacco in any FORM
chiefly from cigarette smoking. That so
many boys are being denied places on ac-
count of it is abundant justification for our

rainy, bad day will shut out 90 per cent of
the restaurants custom, indicating that
people on such days either give up eating
or stop at some restaurant nearer their
places of business.
AS to the things that a thousand people
eat at midday everything depends on the
season and on the conditions of the at
mosphere. Yet the average of the quick
meal luncheon in the table-and- napkin
houses in Chicago is 20 cents. Two or three

later the exemption from taxation of Ger

were made still more liberal, the miner
