Things That Never Die.

The pure. the bright. the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts In youth.
Tho impulses OF wordless prayer.
The dreams of love and truth:
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timId hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word In grief's dark hour
That proves n friend indeed.
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When Justice threatens nigh:
The sorrow OF contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory OF a clasping hand.
The pressure OF kiss.
And all the trifies. sweet and frnil,
That make up loves first bliss;
II with n firm. unchanging faith.
And holy trust and high.
Those hands have clasped. those lip
have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word. -
That wounded as It fell:
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chils the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high.
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass. for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm and just and true.
So shall light that can not fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.

Can Dous Think

DIR. Alexander Hill, master of Down.
ing College, Cambridge, England, has
been trying to solve experimentalIy
the problem, Can dogs reason?" An
exceptionally intelligent fox terrier
was taught to open box, by lifting the
wooden latch of its door with his nose.
and whenever onlookers were present
he did this regularly. In his absence
hot grilled bone was placed in the
box. Arriving on the scene the terrier
smelt all around the box, seeming to
know that 1t contained meat, and evil
IDENTIFY eager to get it. His previous
training. however, was without effect.
He seems never to have reasoned.
THE way to secure the meat is to
lift the latch" and, in fact he did not
raise 1t. That operation he had per
formed to win the appreciation of hui
man beings; but to do it as an origi-
nal effort to please himself and gain
a purpose of his own did not occur to
his canine brain. DIR. Hill invites 9TH
ers to repeat this experiment on anil

drew the netting close around her. SO

mouth the pipe he was about to light.

chairs began to finger lightly the

tone before the finish, and when he
had come to an end, and the instru-
ment was at rest, the hammock still
swayed and the smoker still smoked.
and only the creak and the far OF
rumble of the city streets broke the
silence. The professor, having set the
swing a-fying by couple of stronger
twists of his forearm, composed
himself in the other chair, to watch
the cat die, as he said, which melan-
choly event took place just as the mel.

the netting on either side. pushed
against the roof with her feet, and set
