OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
REACHING OVER THE RIVER.

Three is something more to the
completion of life's journey to his
holiness Leo XIII than the ordinary
mortal. From the same hand book
but He alone knows what shall be the
measure thereof.
The individual will answer for his
own shortcomings, how much moro
no man can tell. His measure will
be taken with what stewardships he
was charged, what responsibilities he
assumed.
With his holiness, Leo XIII, claim
ing to be and recognized by the Gath
olic world. as the Vicar of Christ
On Earth. " extraordinary responsible
ity attaches, not only tor his own
self, but for the millions of his church
recognizing in him such sublime
agency.
On the threshold of that eternity
then it might be expected that were
his teachings or the overwhelming re-
sponsibility assumed not in accord
with the demands of the Christ, whose
representative he assumed to be, that
his soul would approach the crisis
with fear and trembling to appear be-
fore his G. od
But for the hope in Christianity,
for the faith held in another existence
beyond the tomb, it is well and glor-
ious that this holy man has slowly,
consciously and determinedly APP
preached toward that dark river from
whose boundry once crossed none have
returned.
With full hope, with splendid faith.
with sublime resignation, with unut-
terable love Leo stands waiting to cross
into eternity.
Others have gone before, there is
no royal road, the same pathway must
be trod. Whatever our Judgment of
him, his creed, his faith. or what he
assumed to be. none the less does his
going, in the manner he is going,
prove the divinity of Christ and that
there is life beyond.
A life, pure and above reproacf
Christianity as whole has been up
lifted by his being, humanity the bot
ter for his having lived.

hard. He knew little of him, because
he kept away from every one and shut

the young baronet. "Such father and

CHAPTER XVIII.
It was a fortunate thing for many
reasons that the Duke Of Rosedene
was alone when Sir Basil met him,
for he led up gradually to the subject
which occupied his thoughts. Did
the duke come more than once a year
to Dene? Did he know the people at
Southwood? Was it true that a politi-
cal writer lived at Southwood?
The duke shrugged his shoulders
gCCd-naturedly.
4 really don't know" he said. Who
is he?"
Sir Basil did not know; he was ask
ing for information. Some one had
told him that political writer lived
at Southwood.

the country coming forward; it is

What is his name?"

well but I know nothing of the man.

My dear Sir Basil you have no rea-
son whatever to regret your ignorance
with regard 10 Ray. He was one OF
those who lived on the people and
imisled them-incited them to riot and
rebellion. He never did them any
good; and if my memory serves me
rightly. he was once imprisoned for
treason"
Rather a stormy career" said
Basil.
He wrote one or two good things in

on a wrong principle. The best

the future before them.
On that bright Sunday morning no
warning came 10 Sir Basil that he had
better not see the young singer again.
He went. She sang more sweetly
than ever, and lookd to his enchanted
eyes fairer than before. With her
dress of pale blue, her fair, flower
like face and golden hair, she reminded
him of the beautiful figures he had
seen in the churches in Italy. He
must find out who she was; he would
much like to know what name went
with that face. He would like TO
speak TO her; it would be pleasant 10
know if her voice sounded as sweet in
speaking as in singing.
This time when the people went out
of church he contrived TO be among
the first, and then he saw the blue
dress trailing over the grass; he
noticed that every movement and ac-
ton Of the girl was as full of grace as
her singing was full of music. The
sun was shining on the tall elm-trees
and the green graves where the dead
slept so well; on the old Norman
church. on the groups of worship
pers; and something stole into his
heart that had never been there be-
fore-a new delicious life. 1t thrilled
in his veins and beat at his heart-a
keen pleasure so great as to be almost
pain. He thought the tranquility Of
the day had touched him; he thought
~ e,,I hnI
Something had with sudden sweet
swiftness changed the fair face of
Nature for him.
He watched the girl who had sung
the bright seraphim." She had stop
ped first of all to speak to a group Of
fair-haired children; then he saw that
the old men and women all tried to
have a few words with her; after that
she disappeared, and he could not see
in which direction she had gone.
He found the oId sexton. Sir Basil
discovered in a moment the way TO his
heart; it was suggested by the almost
pathetic manner in which the man
said that it was a dry day. He was
so completely overwhelmed when Sir
Basil dropped something into his hand
with which to make the day more com
Portable that he would have answered
any number of questions.
"Who was the lady that sung?"
she was Miss Ray-Miss Hettie
Ray. daughter of the old man who
lived at Rosewalk.
Where was Rosewalk?
1T is a cottage built on the slope of
the hill round there by Southwood
a vague direction, but Sir Basil re-
membered every word of it.
Who was the old man?
All. that the sexton did not know!
All that he could tell was that he had
heard that he was bit of writer in

A SEA LYRIC.

There is no music that man has heard
Like the voice of the minstrel Sea,
Whose major and minor chords are
fraught
With infinite mystery
For the Sea is a harp, and the winds
of God
Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear on the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song of a vast unrest.
There is no passion that man has sung,
Like the love of the deep-souled Sea,
Whose tide responds to the Moons soft
light
With marvellous melody
For the Sea is a harp, and the winds
of God
Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear on the sweep OF their mighty
wings
The song of vast unrest.
There is no sorrow that man has
known,
Like the grief of the wordless Main,
Whose Titan bosom forever throbs
With an untarnished PAIN
For the Sea is a harp, and the winds
of God
Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear on the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song of a vast unrest.

night-a fact which he explained to
himself by saying that he thought a
good deal about her singing. When
he woke from his sleep, he was MUIR

in it for him. He liked to think of her
as a politicians daughter, even though

cal.

THROW FEW sNoWBALLS.
Silk Hats, Once Tempting Targets,
Go Unscathed Nowadays.

Go Unscathed Nowadays.
Snowballing has gone out of style.
Why this is the case nobody is able
to say, but that it is true is apparent
to anybody who happens to think on
/ the subject. 1t may be that because
! of the mild winters of the last ten
years and the scarcity of snow the
present generation has never learned
T the joys of snOwballing Or it may
be that the growing tendency to re-
gard a boy who threw SNOWFALL in
the same category with the person
who threw brick or any other kind
of a missile has had a tendency 10
throw the sport into disfavor.
/ It is more than probable, however,
that the first. reason is the true one.
In former years, when winter meant
a carpet of white over the earth from
/ December to March, snowballing was
one of the recognized sports of child
hood. In those days fiourished the
snow fort, with ramparts and out
works, and many and fierce were the
battles that ragged between the de
tenders of the fort and the attacking
party, and the ammunition always
consisted of snowballs. But during
the last decade the scarcity of snow
has made such thing as a snow fort
an impossibility.
II was in the training TO defeat or
attack the fort that the boys of other
days became proficient in the use OF
the SNOWFALL. When they were not
actually engaged in battle they would
do target practice on silk hats, cats,
dogs, or anybody who happened 10
pass by. But now, while at times
during the winter there is plenty of
snow for the fashiOning of snowtalls,
the present day boy is not trained in
the sport He never saw a fierce
SNOWFALL battle that prevailed in the
days when his father was a boy, and
he has come to feel that throwing a
SNOWFALL at a passerby is about as
bad as throwing anything else.

Ex-senator D. B. Hill Soundly
Berates the President.

Albany. n Y. April s.-President
Roosevelt. in his official capacity as
governor of the state of New York,
came in for a sound berating by former
United States Senator David Bennett
Hill during his argument as counsel for
the corporations in the special franchise
tax case before the court of appeals
today.
Mr. Hill attacked President Roosevelt
for his course as governor of this state,
with reference to the passage of the spe-
cial franchise tax law. He emphatical-
~ denied that the corporations were re-
sponsible for the alleged unconstitution-
al features of the law, declaring that
Governor Roosevelt himself recommend
ed them in so many words.
Governor Roosevelt he chara cterized
as a man of very limited experience in
the administration of state affairs, and
he accused him of forcing the special
franchise tax law upon the legislature
as a political expedient" at the behest
