MY PSALM.

All as God wills. who wisely heeds
To give or to withhold,
And knoweth more of all my needS
Than all my prayers have told!
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track;
That wheresoe'e er my feet have sWerveo,
His Christening turned me back
That more and more providence
OF love is understood,
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good
That death seems but covered way,
Which opens into light,
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight
That care and trial seem al last.
Through memory's sunset air
Like mountain ranges oVerpast'
In purple distance fair
That all the jarring notes or HE
Seem blending in psalm.
And all the angles of its STRIFE
Slow rounding into calm
And so the shadows fall apart.
And so the west winds play:
And all the windows of my heart

We are tired of the march and of keeping guard
Tired of the sense of a fight to be won.

PLOWlNG WITH ELEPHANTS


Barnum's Reply to the Farmer Who
Asked Whether 1t Would Pay.
1t may be said of P. T. Barnum that
he was the major domo or lord Of
laughter and fun, the protean dispenser
of amusement. How well he became
known through this function one curl
GUS incident certifes Some years be-
fore he died an obscure person in some
rernpte part of Asia wrote a letter,
which he dropped in the postoffice near
him, directed to "Mr. .Barnum, Ameri
ca" The letter reached it's destination
without an hours delay. The great
Snowman unaffectedly enjoyed being
known from the very beginning Of his
celebrity, and when he found his celeb
rity was a tremendous factor in his sue
cess he did everything that he could
think of to extend the exploitation of
his name. This was not to neurish
vain imaginings or because he felt ex-
allied. 1t was to promote business.
Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Conn.,, he was fond of put
ting something that suggested show.
Queerly marked cattle, the sacred COW
or an elephant was frequently among
the stock to be noticed in his fields
On one occasion he had an elephant
engaged in blowing on the sloping hill
where it could be plainly seen by the
passengers on the New Haven and
Hartford railroad, an agricultural inno-
walton that he knew would get notice
of some sort in every newspaper in the
country. 1t was even said that he re-
ceived letters from farmers far and
wide asking how much hay one ele
plant ate and if it was more profitable
to pillow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen. His replies were in
variably frank and were of this pur-
port: If you have a large museum in
New York and great railway sends
trains full of passengers within eye
shot of the performance, it will pay,
and pay well, but If you have no such
institution then horses and oxen will
prove more economical.-JoelB Benton in

MUCH DAMAGE RESULTS.
Disastrous Forest Fires Raging in
West kootenai.

Yn1ir, B. c., Aug. 20.-One of the
most disastrous fires which have ever
occurred in West Kootenai is raging
about Ymif. Many square miles of
timber have been busned and num-
Der of mine buildings wiped out. Wag-
Or roads and bridges have been de-
stroyed.
Wild Horse creek, where number
of important mines are situated, was
hardest hit. From the cyanide works
of the Ymir company to the Fog Horn
mine. distance of five miles, every
building has been destroyed. The
cribbing and bridges on the main road
and it's branches burned. The cyanide
plant was saved by the efforts of en-
ployes, who dug holes in which they
immersed themselves in water up to
their necks while they handled the
hose in short shifts. The buildings of
the Wilcox and Black Rock mines were
obliterated. At the former mine the
men took refuge in the tunnels, into
which the wind blew the flames which
ignited the timber With a meager
supply of water, handled in tin cups,
the men kept the fire from spreading
until the danger was passed.

WARSHIP is ASKED FOR.
British Cruiser HurriedIy Starts for

British Cruiser HurredIy Starts for
Buena Ventura.
Panama, Colombia, Aug. 20.-The
British cruiser Phaeton left here hur.
riedly on Saturday and it was believed
that she had sailed for Buena Ventura,
in the department of Cauca. Inquiries
made by the correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press regarding the warship's
sailing show that serious international
complications may arise at Buena Ven
tura, where the Colombian authorities
have been endeavoring to compel the
agents of the British steamer Ecuador,
owned by the Pacific Steam Naviga-
ton company of Liverpool, to trans
port troops to the Isthmus. It was at
the request of the Pacific Steam Nav
igation company that the Phaeton left
Panama for Buena Ventura where the
Colombian government has assembled
1000 troops under General Velasco, in
tended to reinforce the army in this
vicinity, and the government officials
at Buena Ventura threatened to COM
pei the steamer Ecuador, which was at
that port, to transport the reinforce
ments to Panama. The agents of the
line, however, refused to embark the
troops and appealed to the company's
representative here, who, in turn,
placed the matter before the British
consul. with the result that the Phae-
ton was sent to Buena Ventura to pro-
tect British interests.
The action of the Pacific Steam Nav
igation company in refusing to trans
port the troops has caused indignation
in Colombian government circles.

DESTROYED BY ERUPTION.
Japanese Island in Ruins and Its Popu
Iation Dead.

London, Aug. 2G.-The Japanese isl
and of Torishima has been over
whelmed by disaster similar to that
which fell upon the island of Marti-
nique.
ASleast r5s-possible more-per-
by volcanic eruption.
The eruptions, which began Aug. 10,
are still continuing AID the sea in the
neighborhocd of the stricken island is
so violently agitated that ships cannot
go near.
The first eruption took place on the
afternoon of the 18th, and was fol-
lowed by an ominous calm, during
which several ships approached the
place and learned of the destruction
that had been wrought.
Suddenly there was a second erup-
ton, both on the island and under the
sea, and in an instant the air was full
Of flying rock, while the waves rose
mountain high.
Several of the ships had narrow es-
capes from being engulfed by the agi-
tated waters, while tons of volcanic
debris settled on the decks and threat
ened to snuff out the lives of the mem
bers of the crews.
The submarine explosions extended
far out to- sea, and it was only by
crowding on all steam that the several
vessels in the vicinity were enabled
to get out of harms way.
The island of Torishima is one of a
chain extending from the BONN ISL
ands to the Isle of Hondo, the largest
of the Japanese islands.
The island had a population of from
$50 to 200 and was remarkably
pretty place.

Nature and Poetry.

Environment aids poetry. but does
not create it. Nature is the grand
agent in making poetry, and poetry is
present wherever nature is. 1t spar
kles on the sea, glows in the rainbow,
flashes from the lightning and the star,
peals in thunder, roars in the cataract
and sings on the winds Poetry IS
Gods image reflected in nature, as In
mirror. and nature is present wher-.
ever man is.
