ASLEEP.

These lines found in an old
scrap book were written years
ago by a hand that has crumbIed
into dust, and yet one whose heart
and soul were tuned to the sweet
mlnstrelsy of song and sentiment
beyond almost anyone of the low
ly ones of earth the writer has
ever known. Coming upon them
in a hasty search since the death
of sweet Henrietta Lyon, | am
constrained to nave them pub
lished in the hope that her bereav.
ed ones may feel ray of light
and comfort from perusing them:
"She has gone to sleep in a dreamful
rest,
With her white hands folded on her
calm, still breast;
She has downward dropped her heaven
kissed eyes,
Yelling their light in her knowledge
wise.
Her sweet, pure lips in their calm
repOSe,
No secrets tell; they are forever closed.
On her marble brow there's light of
heaven
And the peace which earth could never
have given.
"There's smile on her lips, but it's
meaning is hid
Too deep for us meath the coffin lid;
There's a lingering light on her pure,
pale face,
And touch of divine in her quiet
grace.
eve gaze-through our tears-on her
figure fair:
On the beautiful glow of her sunny
hair,
And still our hearts deep cry of pain,
Knowing at last we shall meet again.
1--WE heard not the dip of the mystic
oar
As her barque of life left the silent
shore,
And our souls grew still, in a solemn
way,
AS her pure spirit left us in the hush
of day.
"Of what are you dreaming, beautiful
one?
OF the earth that's lost and the heaven
that's won?
Is the light of heaven so sweet and
fair
That you forget your dear ones sor-
rowing here?
sleep well and be glad, sweet, your
pain is passed;
In the light of heaven you rest at last
And tho our hearts are hushed in
pain
We are glad with you for the peace
you gain"

BILL TO EXCLUDE
CHINESE LABOR
Consideration in Senate Begins this
Week.

Washington, April 2. - Accord
ing to the present understanding
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, who
was largely instrumental in franz
ing the exclusion bill, will make the
first presentation of its merits to
the Senate. He will be followed by
other supporters of the bill, and it
is the hope OF Senator Penrose,
who has charge of the measure,
that the Senate will be able to con-
clude its consideration within ten
days after it is taken up. There is
no pronounced opposition to the
bill as a whole, but an effort will
be made to amend it in some parti-
culars. There are still several
speeches to be made on the oleo-
margarine bill, but it is the general
understanding that the discussion
will be concluded during the first
half of the week if not by Tuesday
in time to allow a vote on that date,
1t is expected that the Indian APP
preparation and the rivers and har-
bors bills will be reported during
the week. Both are subject to I'M
mediate consideration The Philip
pines government bill will also be
reported, but it's consideration by
the Senate necessarily will be post
DOned for some weeks.

CECIL RHODES LIFE TEACHING.

Cecil Rhodes's death brings to a
singularly instructive termination a
career of great forcefulness and OF
powerful achievement in material
things, which yet failed of being
genuinely successful career because
of the lack of a sound foundation
of character.
Judged even from Rhodes own
viewpoint, his life has been pitt
able failure. His one ambition was
to place all South Africa under
British dominion and himself to be
the great historical figure of this
vast extension of British empire,
Money -making grew to be a Sc
condary consideration to him. The
only value which his wealth pos
sessed in his eyes was that 1t pro-
missed to serve his ambition. The
only use he had for humanity was
to employ men to advance his own
selfish ends. Failing to reach the
goal upon which his eyes were set,
his life must necessarily be as bit
ter and humiliating to himself as it
had been hard and eXacting to
others.
And he failed to reach the goal.
Despite his success as a money
maker, there have been few figures
in history more thoroughly discred-
tied than that of Cecil Rhodes.
At one time he professed to be the
friend of the Beers and so became
Prime Minister of Cape Colony.
The revealment of his completely in
the Jameson conspiracy to seize the
Transvaal by a sudden and treach-
erous uprising forever lost him the
friendship and confidence OF the
Afrikanders. For a time, also, the
English bitterly resented his blum
der in this matter. Then, angry
and desperate, he leagued himself
with lingo Joe Chamberlain, the
British Colonial Secretary, and pre-
cipitated the war against the Beers.
This war is one of the colossal
crimes OF history. It's appalling
cost to England is beyond compu-
tation.
And with the war itself a failure,
Cecil Rhodes dies. A more pitiable
or significant ending has rarely
been witnessed. With higher ideals
this man would have been one OF
the strongest, most successful and
most Justly distinguished men OF
his century. God gave him the
equipment necessary to greatness
But Cecil Rhodes narrowed his own
soul to the worship of but two
things in life, money and the strong
hand, and these things have failed
him utterly. The poorest of men
who have lived loving and helpful
lives, though they die as poor as
they lived, have been more truly
successful than was Cecil Rhodes.
The world is better for their kind
ly living. 1t is worse for the lives
of such men as Cecil Rhodes, and
Cecil Rhodes himself has achieved
only failure, judged by his own
standards.-St. Louis Republic.
