THE SECRET THOUGHT.

ELIA WHEELER wiiCoN
That which we call secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot,
And leaves it's blessings, or its woes,
Like tracks behind il as II goes.
II is Gods law. Remember IT,
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have
known,
Aud yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life, and will fly.
And leave their impress by and by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned
breath,
Breathes into home its fevered death.
And after you have quite forgot,
Or all outgrown some vanished thought,
Back TO your mind to make its home,
A dove, or raven it will come,
Then let your secret thoughts be fir.
They have a vital part to share
In shaping worlds end moulding fate,
Gods system is intricate.

"A millionaire without a six
pence" is the way w. T. Stead
speaks of Cecil Rhodes in re-
cent article, adding: "Mr.
Rhodes was the first of the
money kings of the African
world; but to him money was
never an end in itself. No one
so mercilessly satirized the mere
millionaire who had millions, but
no mind, who, while broOding
like nesting hens over incalcu-
liable potentialities of power,
never hatched out single
chicken of political or social
achievement. Mr.. Rhodes was
a man of different mold. To him
the only JOY in the possession of
money was to use it for the re-
alization of great ideas. No man
ever realized more absolutely the
idea of being a mere steward of
his worldly possessions. He was
always straining even his vast
resources to accomplish his still
vaster designs. You once wrote
to me- said Mr.. Rhodes to me
on one occasion, that I was a
millionaire who had never had a
sixpence. If you only knew how
true that was! Why, to-day my
banker tells me my bank account
is Overdrawn by ESQ, ,OOO.' All his
credits were overdrawn, espe
cially his credit upon the bank OF
life. He lived eagerly, worked
constantly, attempted ever to dc
greater things than mortal man
could accomplish. And SO it has
happened to him to fall dead
midway in the track of his great
career.'

But where is George?" re-

Again the waiter reiterated his
previous unsatisfying assertion
of change. The governor was
annoyed. Turning sharply upon
the purring individual at his ell

had become of George. "Well,
