to bear in mind when plunged in the
history of Standard Oil. 1.-The re-
quirements of successful business
career are really right in line with
the requirements of Christian life. "
Is this sacrilege, or is it jest? Prob
ably young Mr.. Rockefeller drinks it
sober truth He probably believes
that Christianity has nothing to do
with life. 1t is doctrine, comfort
ing and consoling "The personal
comfort that religion has been to

platform and tell the people about
it, Tell them, for instance, how
raising the price of oil, almost as he
spoke, fits into his consolation. Tell
them how his methods against COM

rich through illegal rebates is lin

President Roosevelt has a way of his
own of solving appointment puzzles
A day or two ago he appointed Frank
Wyman to be postmaster at st. Louis
There were several candidates for the
Office, each being presented by differ
ent faction of the Republican party in
the city and State. The President
passed by every candidate and took
Wyman, who had not been mentioned,
thus treating all factions alike, and at
the same time getting a competent
man without doubt.

Julius Levy, the candidate for al
derman in the eighth ward in New
York City on the Devery ticket, has
just filed, with the coun6y clerk as
the law requires, statement of his
campaign expenses. They figure a
total of 81 cents The items are
Ten cents car fare in legally oppos-
ing the attempts to put me off the
ticket. one cent to boy for actual
services rendered, car fares to the
pump to see Devery on financial mat
tiers. thirty cents, and ten cents for
distributing literature. - Levy re-
ceived five votes and he figures that
those votes cost him less according to
the number than did those cast for
any other candidate.

THE UNNAMED LAKE.

1t sleeps among the thousand hills
Where no man ever trod,
And only Natures music fills
The silences of God
Great mountains tower above its shore,
Green rushes fringe its brim,
And Ger it's breast forevermore
The wanton breezes skim.
Dark clouds that intercept the sun
Go there in spring to weep,
And there, when autumn days are done
White mists lie down TO sleep.
Sunrise and sunset crown with gold
The peaks of ageless stone
Where winds have thundered from of
old
Aid storms have set their throne.
No echoes of the world afar
Disturb it night or day,
But sun and shadow, neon and star
Pass and repass for aye.
Twas in the grey of early dawn
When first the lake we spied,
And fragments of cloud were drawn
Far down the mountain side;
Along the shore a heron flew,
And from speck on high
That lowered III the deepening blue
We heard the fish hawks cry.
Among the handicapped solitudes
No sound the sileuce broke,
Save when, in whispers down the
woods,
The guardian mountains spoke.
Through tangled bush and dewy brake,
Returning whence we came,
We passed in silence, and the Lake
We left without name

The annual report of the adjutant
general of the United States army,
made public Wednesday, makes the
startling statement that during the
year for which the report was made
there were 5,034 assertions. or nearly
ten per cent of the entire enlisted
strength. This is statement which
is unpleasant in sound to an Ameri-
can. 1t would be hard for American
citizens to have any reflections cast
upon the patriotism Of their fellow
countrymen, but desertion from the
army and patriotism do not go we'll
together. 1t is likely, however, that
if something really interesting in the
line OF business for the army should
come along, the number of assertions
would fall off materially. 1t is in
action and the monotony of daily
drills that cause assertions.

Che new Williamsburg bridge in the
city of New York is practically COM
pleted and will be put in use for foot
traffic and for teams the first of De-
cember, though the formal opening
will come trihe later. 1t was TWEEN
ty years ago that the great structure
which will always be known as the
Brooklyn bridge was opened to the
public. 1t was great event to the
people of those days and the opening
exercises were attended and partici-
pated in by Governors and men of i'm
portance from many States. An elab-
crate program was arranged and the
whole country marveled at the mag
nificence of the work which had been
completed. Today how differently is
the opening of the new bridge regard
ed. Though a far creator structure
than the first Brooklyn bridge, this
second great connecting link has been
built without 'visibly causing an i'm
preston upon the surface of the pub
lie mind and the dedication will be
an event which will have but little
significance to most people. This is
an age of great engineering feats and
the public is accustomed to see things
done as matter of course which a
few years 90 would have seemed mar
volous. Bridges. tunnels and towers
and the great buildings of the expo
sitions are becoming too common to
excite attention. People are too busy
to be aston1shed.

The Proof.
[By Florence Marsh.l
JENNIE skies are wintry. dark and
Ell gray,
The dappled clouds go scudding

Yet, though the winds blow sharp
and cold,
feel the balmy zephyr's sigh.
The violet droops her modest head.
The rose unfolds her lovely bloom;
The pink arbutus, gracious maid.
Gives to the air her sweet perfume.
Now comes the robins cheerful call,
The whir OF wheeling swallows wing;/
The bluebird flashes past me now;
welcome in the joyous spring!

The cynic sneers: "Where are these
blooms?
Your voice is but an idle sonnet"
I make reply, "My calendar
