Night is the time for toll:
To pillow the classic field.
Intent to find the buried spoil
Its wealthy burrows yield
Till all is ours that sages taught.
That poets sang or heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep:
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of Memory where sleep
The joys of other years;
Hopes that were angels at their birth.
But persisted young. like things Of earth
Night is the time to watch:
Ger oceans dark expanse.
To hail the Pleiades. or catch
The full moons earliest glance
That brings into the homesick mind
All We have loved and left behind.
Night is the time for care:
Brooding on hours misspent.
To see the sccpter of Despair
Come to our lonely tent:

Like Brutus. midst his slumbering host,
Startled by Caesars stalwart ghost
Night is the time to muse:
When. from the eye. the soul
Takes flight: and. with expanding views.
Beyond the starry pole
Describes athwart the abyss of night
The dawn OF uncreated light.
Night is the time to pray:
Our Saviour oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away;
So will his followers do
Steal from the throng to haunts untrod.
And hold communion there with God
Night is the time for Death:
When all around is peace.
Calmly to yield the weary breath.
From sin and suffering cease.
Think of heavens bliss and give the sign
To parting friends-such death be mine,

struction of municipal electric light plant. Mayor
Head discovered that the gas company's charter was
about expire The charter was renewed for twenty
five years. but the Mayor succeeded in having the
price of Illuminating gas reduced from $50 to 81 per
1000 cubic feet and in procuring for the city revenue
of five per cent on the companys annual gross earn
ngs. In addition the city reserved the right to acquire
the plant in ten years.
The city not only received authority from the State
of Tennessee to own and operate its electric light
plant, but to engage in commercial lighting Mayor
Head is opposed to the latter policy. but would have
the city enter the commercial field under certain
ditions.
This month"; writes special correspondent of
the Municipal Journal and Engineer. the contract
expires and if the company will agree to sell electric
ity at reasonable price to consumers. Mayor Head
feels that the city should go into the business of
furnishing electricity commercially. Had the COM
pany been farsighted it would have offered to light
the streets free of charge for then the electric plant
would never have been built and the city would not
have come into competition with the company in
commercial way.
THE moment the municipal plant was an assured
thing the electric company reduced the price of cleo
tricy from 10 to IL cents per klowatt, reducing its
income S66666.66 year. and, it cost the city but
$4,000 to light the streets with both gas and electric
ity the company could have afforded free street
lights to have kept out the city plant"
Plans have been made by the City Of st. Louis. by
order of Mayor Wells for electric generating plants
to furnish light for public buildings. Mayor Wells
takes the view that if these plants should
be operated. the city should them dictate
terms from the companies The city should operate
them however this may lead to other advantages.
The city should go farther. 1t should find way
adopt the plan of President Phillips of the Board
of Public Improvements TO create sinking fund
wherewith build electric generating plant for
street lighting That would bring the city close to
the commercial field Until the city gets to the verge
of commercial lighting it will not have performed
its full duty to the citizens.

MRS. CHRIsTY's EUCHRE.

Mrs. William Christy's euchre party on
Wednesday afternoon at her suburban home
in Benton had all the charm which an ideal
June afternoon and sylvan surroundings
can lend such an affair. which was in the
nature of a farewell to Mrs. May Christy,
who departs next week for Lake Geneva for
the summer.
The parlors were trimmed in great mass
es of feathery asparagus plumes and the
flower of the eucalyptus, which banked the
fireplaces and corners, and shone from
great iardinieres in the dining-room and
long colonial hall. Prizes were won by Mrs.
Harry Block. Mrs. Edmond Perry Jordan.
Mrs John Hoennig. and Mrs. George Mum
son. A repast, a stroll through the gar
dens and cro1uet on the broad lawn proved
a pleasing finale to delightful afternoon.

To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repose.
Stretch the tired limbs. and lay the head

When truth that is and truth that seems.
Blend in fantastic strife:

TENDS TO RELIGIOUS PEACE.
KINGS VISIT TO VATICAN CON-
sIDERED wIDE-REACHING
IN ITS INFLUENCE.

Rome, May liking Edwards In
terview with Pope Leo, which took
place at the Vatican, will probably be
considered by future writers as one Of
the greatest events of the politioo-ec-
clesiastical history of the first decade
Of the Twentieth century" says a
prominent Italian. "The august par
ties to the ceremony represent respect.
lively temporal and spiritual empires
Of vast power and magnitude. The
king ia Protestant and rnles an in-
tensely Protestant people. The pope
is the sovereign Of the Catholic world.
These mighty personages come togeth-
err on the common ground Of courtesy,
good will and mutual respect Their
example will exert a powerful infiu.
ence on the imaginations and hearts Of
men. 1t means blow to bigotry that
may precede the proclamation of peace
among religious systems and sects.
Nothing could be more important
than this, because much of the worlds
moral energy is still wasted in warfare
where there should be unity. The
king and the pope practically say to
Christians everywhere to respect each
others faiths, which may not agree,
but the purposes Of which are not far
apart. Their combined destructive
power should be directed against what
is hateful to both. Generous spirits
in all lands applaud King Edward for
having engaged in a tour dedicated to
political peace, to render a great ser
vice to religious peace as we'll. ="
At the Vatican the feeling with re.
gard to the result of the interview is
one of great citation. II is declared
that the kings visit shows that the
royal declaration in connection with
the coronation oath, which brands
Catholics as an idolatrous sect, is a
mere legal anachronism which cannot
long endure. 1t is said that the holy
father regards King Edwards sojourn
in his apartments as a beautiful act Of
courtesy, which will command Catho-
lie appreciation throughout the world.
