A Little Ones Love.

Suns and stars in the heavens above.
But life that longs for a little ones
love;
A little ones love in the far away
The sweetest rose in the red O May!
She is climbing up to kiss me
Her lips smile there,
And I'm rich in the wealth
OF the gold of her hair.
Song O. the robin and moan o. the dove
L am weary tonight for a little ones
love:
To see in her dear eyes Gods tenderest
light,
And fold back her tresses, and kiss her
oodnight.'
She is climbing to kiss me
How shines the dream there,-
And I'm kissing the curls
OF her beautiful hair!
And the wide world is weary. and ever
I seem
To move like a shadow that drifts
through a dream:
And earth will not answer-nor heaven
above.
When l cry in the dark for a little ones
love.
She is climbing to kiss me,
Still radiant there.
And in dreams | am kissing
Her beautiful hair.

The Sleepy Hour Of Night.

A head-on collision between two
freight trains on the Southern Pacific
in California was due to the careless
ness of the engineer of one of the
trains, who slept at his post and paid
the forfeit with his life. Manager AL
ger of the Southern Pacific says that
the company has great trouble on ac.

MARRIAGE AND LONG LIFE.
People Joined in Matrimcny Live
Longer Than Those SinqIe.

Scientific research justifies the rule,
Marry and lYc to ripe old age Az
ter a long experience with mortality
tables Frederick l.. Hoffman, a writer
upon insurance subjects, demonstrates
the influence of marriage on longevity.
Interesting figures show that the NOR
tality Of married males has been CON
siderab!y below the mortality of sin
gle males at all ages, the difference
being most noticeable between the
age periods of fOrty-tive and sixty
four years. Between those ages,
roughly speaking, three single men die
to two married ones. The rate of fe
males gives result favorable to mar
ried women. Although their death
rate is greater than that of single
women in the period between fifteen
and forty-four years, after that period
the proportions are reversed in favor
of married women.
In both sexes below the age of forty
the deaths among married persons,
due to certain specific causes, are
slightly in excess of deaths among
single persons. The causes are can
Ger, tulnOr, nervous diseases, clrcula-
tory, digestive and urinary diseases.
But deaths from consumption among
single persons are OVERWHELMINGLY
greater than those among the married.
Above the age of forty-tive the NOR
tality of the married in both sexes,
from all causes. is much less than that
of single people. MIR. Hoffman unhes-
itatinSly concludes that marriage
make for long life. Undoubtedly
many factors other than the fact of
marriage contribute to decide the ques-
ton If longevity. The questions Of
regular living and settled habit must
be considered as well as that of the
human being fulfilling his natural des-
tiny and following natural laws.-St.
