Over the River.
Over the river they beckon to me
Loved ones who've passed to the far
ther side;
The gleam of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are drowned in the
rushing tide.
There's one with ringlets Of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection Of heavens
own blue;
He crossed In the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal
view;
We saw not the angels who met him
there,
The gates Of the city we could not
Over the river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welcome
me!
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another, the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in the gentle
gale
Darling Minnie! 1 see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled
hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom
bark;
We watched it glide from the silver
sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely
dark;
We know she is safe on the farther side.
Where all the ransomed and angels
Over the river, the mystic river,
My childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and
pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch a CLEAN Of the snowy sail;
And 10! they have passed from our
yearning heart;
They cross the stream and are gone for
aye;
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates
of day;
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with us Ger life's stormy
Yet, somewhere, I know, on the unseen
shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for
for me.
And 1 sit and think, when the sunsets
gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold
And list for the sound of the boatman's
oar;
I shall watch for a gleam Of the Tapping
sail,
I shall hear the boat as 1t gains the
strand;
I shall pass from sight, with the boatman
pale,
To the better shore Of the spirit land.
[ shall know the loved who have gone
before,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The Angel of Death shall carry me.

I sprang out of bed, and as I did so
heard the crash of breaking glass in
the court below, and saw a brilliant
red CLEAN through the blinds at the
window. I looked out; the kitchen
and dining-room in the rear of the ho-

great volume Of smoke poured out of
| the lower windows Of the east wing
My own room was on the second
floor, in the center of the building, and
I saw that there was plenty of time
for me to escape, and to help others
in that vicinity. I jumped into bath
robe and slippers, and, rolling my
clothes into a bundle under my arm,
ran out into the hall.
I hammered at each door that l
passed, and yelled in a frenzy of ex-
citement and horror. The place was
rapidly filing with smoke, and the
light grew brighter. Presently 1 no.

had dropped them while helping a
woman who seemed to be unable to
walk through pure terror. The man
who had first reused me had gone up
to the fourth floor, and the people
were pouring down the stairways, in
their night robes, or wrapped in blan-
kets, some carrying children-of

some dragging trunks, bang, bang!

The Power of Thought.

Beware Of what you think, for what
you think, quite as much as what you
do. molds your character. Wrong acts
persisted in will wreck any life, but
wrong thoughts have just as sure an
effect. 1t not infrequently happens
that people who live fairly good lives
so far as their actions go do not feel it
necessary to set so close guard Oh
their thoughts. These are hidden, and
Of what harm is it to occasionally cher
ish a vulgar thought If one does not
allow it to escape in action? OF what
harm to hate if one does not show It?
To imagine oneself committing wrong
acts if one does not actually commit
them? But the laws Of life say that
every thought affects the whole being.
AS q mans heart is, so will he be.
Evil thoughts gradually undermine the
character, and some day these thoughts
will burst into action which is ire
mediable.- WOman's Home Companion

Alcoholism In Mexico.

sobriety, clear medicines, punctuality

HORSE WHISPERERS,
Secret Methods That Were Used by
Irish Animal Tanners.

Ireland, as we'll as the far north Of
"horse whispcrcrs, though the "broth-
erings' which give such pcrmancnce
and gcnality to the Scottish ''plow
mans whisper never seem to have ex-
listed in the sister island. Irish "whis-
pcrers" have been lonely men, whose
secret has generally died with Them
says the Golden Penny.
The most famous "whispcrcr" of
modern times was James Sullivan of
DunhallOW. No horse was ever
brought to Sullivan which he did not
permanently tame. Ordinarily FESTIVE
animals he would master in few min
utes. For exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour during
which time he shut the stable door and
forbade any one to open it till he gave
the signal. When the door was opened
the horse was still! lying down and
Sullivan by his side, playing with him
as Il child does with Il puppy. There
was no tying up of the forelcg or any
other visible means of coercion. How
his asccndency was obtained no one
could tell.
A successor of Sullivan named
O'Hara became almost equally famous,
and was often urged to explain what
was the secret of his influence. But
O'IIara treated his questioners as Sam
son did the Philstines, deluding them
with various and unsatisfactory an
swers. AT one time, for instance, he
said the secret lay in "rocking' the
horse one hand firmly on his
crupper, and with the other grasping
his shoulder and then swaying him to
and fro, gently at first and gradually
increasing the motion till you throw
him. AT another time he protested that
his plan was to bite the animals ear
Both these are we'll known jockey
tricks. The most stubborn horse, they
say, will be wholly subducd by being
thrown twice or thrice, and if you can
get Il vicious horses ear between your
teeth and bite hard you are his master
and he your submissive slave from that

the western hemisphere, with the
Canadians as the Beers and the
Americans as the Inflated British.
More government powder is burned
in Canada in proportion to her militia
by 800 per cent than in the United
States. it is commonly said. Twice a
year rifle clubs meet all over the do
minion. and for week practice
every style of rifle fire at the govern
ment's expense. The proficiency of
these men with the rifle and revol-
yer would make some of Uncle Sans
militia boys sit up. There are just
enough regular soldiers maintained
on garrison duty in Canada to act as
a leaven to these citizen soldiers,
and experts pronounce the Canadian
military scheme as a formidable fac
tor During the Boer war the Cana
dian troops indicated of what mettle
they are made. 1t was at Hearts
river that these western soldiers
showed that they could cope with
the fine fighting Boer warrior, and
the South African experience has not
been lost upon these men.
The Canadians arms are as mod
ern, their patriotic enthusiasm in
every way adequate to any effort,
their intelligence second to none and
their discipline of so high charac-
ter as to render them a dangerous
element to face in battle. These are
some of the factors in provoking COM
ment from the large number of
Americans residing in the dominion
of Canada. It may mean nothing,
and again it may mean future con-
flict fraught with terrible consequent
ces to both sides.

EFFICACY OF THE ONION.
Apply Ii Outside and Inside and Cure
Cold.

The idea of an onion cure may not
strike the fancy of the aesthetic. How
ever, the experience of those who have
tried it is that it works wonders in re-
storing a racked system to its normal
state again. There are three kinds Of
doses in the onion cure. or three onion
cures, rs You choose to put it, One is Il
diet of onions, the other is onion plas-
tiers and the third is onion strip.
Ii is claimed by those who believe in
the onion cure that Il bad cold can be
broken up if the patient viii stay in
doors and feed on Il liberal diet Of
onions. Ii need not he an exclusive
diet, but 4 lihcra, one For instance
an onion cure breakfast includes Il

fuls of fried onions and cup of coffee

ton brown bread, huttercd and filled
with finely chopped raw onions. sea-
soned with salt and pepper, makes the
second meal on the schedule. For sup
per the onions may be fried as for
breakfast and eaten with chop and a
baked potato.
The strange efficacy of onions is we'll
known to the singers of Italy and
Spain. who eat them every day to i'm
prove the quality of their voices and
keep them smooth. Onion plasters are
prescribed to break up hard coughs.
They are made of fried onions placed
between two pieces of old muslin. The
plaster is kept quite hot until the pa
tent is snugly in bed. when it is placed
on the chest to stay overnight. Onion
strip is dose that can be bought of

be unequaled as a cure for cold in the
