on the sidewalk when it gave way.
They were precipitated twenty feet
into an excavation for new building
and fell on piles of building material.

War Practically Ended.

London, May 27.-The Associated
Press has ascertained that the govern
ment regards the war as practically
ended. Every precaution is being
taken at Downing street to prevent
premature publication, in view of the
possibility that portion of the
Nereeniging delegates might bolt and
continue the struggle with their lead
ers. Privately, however, confidence is
expressed in official circles that every.
thing is over but the shouting.

WISE WORDS.

Poison is not antldoted by a golden
cup.
Mon want hands more than hand
outs.
The darkness makes US prize the
dawn.
1t takes a great man to lead a small
army.
Success needs not TO apologize for
itself
The greatest realities are the un-
realities.
It's an i'll wind that speaks well Of
no one.
1t takes a very small fool to commit
great folly.
1t is hard to find truth without an
error in its shadow.
The powers we use as toys are un-
fitted for use as tools.
We do not defer to-day's punishment
by to-morrow's promises.
The top wave of excitement always
has bottom Of depression.
The world needs kindness Of heart
more than keenness of head
man has never failed utterly SO
long as he has friends left him.
Wickedness is plant that Is most
likely to die if we cease to water it.
Common sense is a sort of sixth attri-
butte which will mistrust all the others.
Look out for the honesty of the man
who talks great deal about his honor.
A man is not thirsting for knowledge
just because he asks curious ques-
tions.
The worst cowardice is that of the
man who does wrong for fear of being
called coward.
The fool who burles his head in the
dust has usually the impudence to de-
clare that there can be nothing di-
vine.-Ram's Horn.
