Go We Into all the World.


In this brief charge the Lord proclaimed
In tones the world should understand,
That every mortal is ordained
For some great mission, nobly planned
Where 1t may be may not appear
Or what, no soul can truly know;
Suffice it IL we're ready here
When duty calls to quickly Col
No two shall have the same career,
Nor one another's labor do;
Each his appointed way with fear
Shall in appointed time pursue.
Man wins or loses in this life
By neither friend nor bitter foe;
The prize, at last in this great strife,
Depends on his own strength to Col
We use the means the Master gives
For good or i'll we can but try,
= stricken, burdened mortal lives,
One highly favored can but die.
1t follows, one should ne'er despise,
Nor think his life-work mean or low;
If he is willing, just and wise,
He'll do his best, trust God and Col

A dirtys foreign-looking individual.
having what appeared to be rank
collection of that's in his belfry, -
annoyed the inhabitants of the north
end of town considerably the fore
part Of the week. For several days
he was seen lettering around that
neighborhood and many of the good
people became somewhat alarmed at
his strange actions. On Wednesday
evening Marshal Norris was called
upon to look after the man. After
firing several shots into the ground
to brighten the apparently demented
creature, which seemed to have the de-
sired effect, inasmuch as he started
on blind rush through wire fence
and down the middle of the road in
front of the Clark House, Marshal
Norris. got hold of him after he had
been stopped by Charlie Ketelson.
The marshal locked him in the cooler
over night and turned him loose the
next morning.

Both Sides
of the Story
oO-O-oO-O-O+O-O-oO-Ct

The three gentlemen in the smoking
room of the Pullman on the Chicago
flyer were intimate business acquaint-
ances. After wearing the market and
kindred subjects threadbare they sat
back silently and looked at one an
other. Each knew the habits of the
other SO well that it required no word
on any ones part to explain that one
make up game of draw" The
broker made move. He punched the
button by his side, and when a porter
appeared he took from his case
business card, wrote few words in
pencil on the back of it and handed it
to the darby.
Deliver that to the gentleman in
8 A, will you, Sammy? And wait to
see if there is an answer" he said.
So it happened that a few minutes
later, with the luxurious train bowling
smoothly over the road-bed,. and only
fifty out of the nine hundred odd miles
between New York and Chicago COW
cred, quiet game of poker was in
progress. The newcomer differed
slightly from the other three in that
his clothes were somewhat noticeable,
any his jewelry shiny, as If all pur-
chased in lump, and recently. Yet
he was a corker at the game of draw.
None OF the four observed that each
time the conductor passed through
the car he would gaze with a serious
air at this fourth man, whose profile
greeted him as he sat facing the en-
CINE. The steely blue eyes of the con.
ductor would rest for several seconds
on the face of the stranger, as if busy
with Renaissance, and then he would
continue his passage, seemingly puz-
zled
A curious thing about poker is the
almost uncanny facilities it affords for
establishing an intimacy. To an ex-
pert, the stranger who sits opposite
him playing his hand, taking up the
cards, arranging them, betting, pulling
in the pot, is at the same time laying
bare cardinal features of his mental
makeup, so that ten minutes play
does more to create an envi- onment
of friendship than hours of conversa-
ton INDUCED in on first meeting.
Therefore it seemed perfectly natural
when the broker, after scanning the
stranger, allowed his glance to rest on
the latter's head. He looked at the
parting in a mass of fine black hair.
at first glance there was nothing I'M
usual about it, but a few moments
study showed that it was wider than
seemed natural, and finally the OBJ
server discerned that the thin straight
line was as white as chalk, as smooth
as satin, and in reality was as straight
as a rule, whereon no nair grew. OBJ
serving his steady glance, the stranger
leaned back in his chair and re-
marked:
II see, sir, that you are more OBJ
servant than the majority of man
kind"
The broker fastened to murmur an
apology, but the other cut him short
with a good-nstured laugh and de-
