And quite right, too, she said to her

told her that he worshiped her; that he

A SONG FOR THE WEARY.

Life is but a world of battles;
You must fight them would you win
With the idleness that prattles,
Victory has never been;
Then why should you be complaining
If in one attempt you fail?
Each endeavor gives you training,
Till at last you shall prevail.
Nuggets of success are lying
Underneath life's rugged road;
Dig and dig, and keep on trying
Till you strike the precious lode.
Skies above you will be bluer
As along the way you tread.
Friends around you will, be truer,
So be brave and go ahead.
Time is fleeing, so be doing
Any task there is for you;
You are stronger, while accruing
Gain of good and wisdom, too. ~"
Be not with the drones and strikers,
As through life they idly stroll;
Victory belongs to workers,
Strive and you will reach the goal.

GOOD PROGRESS IN
 LADIES' CANVASS
HlLLMAN HOSPITAL HAS SOME ENTHUSIASTIC WORkERS-UP-' WARD OF $2ooo RAIsED-ToDAY's COLLECTIONS PROMISE WELL.

The canvass being made by the ladies of the Hillman hospital board to raise $25,OOO fund is progressing very satisfac- torily. Yesterday was rather a cold day for the ladies to be out but they are en- thuslastic in the work and are willing to brave the weather
 The total amount raised in the past three days is over 5000 and the board has every reason to be satisfied The Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company gave $500 yesterday, which Is the largest single contribution this week.
 It is the object of the ladies to sec every person in town, and 1t is expected that no one will give less than a dollar. and they urge every man to have his dol. lar ready so as to expedite matters and not cause any unnecessary delay.
 The hospitaf board has divided the city up into districts and assigned certain ter rltory to each lady, so that the canvass can be made in 0 thoroughly systematic way.
 The collections for today promise to be larger than any day this week. It Is fm- possible to tell the exact collections each day because some of the committees do not report regularly every evening, but 1t was estimated last night that contrf- buttons so far this week will easily go over 5000.
