PSALM Of THE OLD SOLDIER.

The blu is fading into gray,
Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums;
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares of day;
The bugle call and drum beat die
The blu fades into gray.
The gray is blending into blue
A sunrise glad and fair,
When. in the richness of the dew,
The roses riot there,
The bitterness Of yesterday
Is lost to me M you;
The blue is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long, long sleen-
The boys who wore the blue;
Above the gray the grasses creep
And both were good and true;
And in the twilight of our life
The ending of the way
There comes forgetfulness of strife
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily CLOVIS
And humble daisies nod;
The ruby glory of the rose
Sheds luster on the sod;
The tears-the tears-they are the dew
That greets the coming day.
The gray is blending into blue
h blue fades into gray.

always knew you We're a good woman.
Poor Sallie! Ill be SEEM her again.
Mrs. Pell did not sleep well that
night. It hurt her to think of those
two graves being tlowerless another
Decoration day. They were in such a
remote part of the cemeterySthat they
never shared in the general decoration
of graves. She decided that she would
not go to the cemetery at all. She
could not bear to think of seeing 9TH
ers carrying their flowers while her
hands must be empty.
But in the morning she changed her
mind. 1t seemed unkind to leave her
graves unvisited. She would go in the
afternoon when the services were over
and the cemetery would be compare
lively deserted. 1t was such a lovely
day. The ride in the cars would do her
good.

Japan OF MODERN TIMES.
Comparison with the unite" ms
dom in Size, Population anu
other Particulars.

Concerning the United Kingdom the
following points of resemblance pc
tween it and Japan are remarked ny
the Anglo-Japanese Gazette: Japan
consists of a group of islands lying 10
the east of the continent OF ASIA as'he
United Kingdom consists of a grouply ~
ing to the west of the continent o. hu-
rope. Both groups extend from north
70 south: the main islands of the Japan
O are about the same length as the
United Kingdom-viz., about 700 miles;
both groups have a similar population
Japan "A, 900, 900 and the United hlns-
dom 40, 200, 900; both groups ave a
similar area-Japan $4,000 and the
United Kingdom 100000 (English)
square miles; both groups are washed
and their climates modified by impor-
tant ocean currents-the British isles
by the gulf stream and Japan by the
Japan current.
The resemblance ceases, however.
when the two are contrasted as en-
pires. The one is the land of the rising
sun, the other that on which the sun
never sets, while the population of the
British empire is about 100000 900,
nearly a quarter of the population OF
the globe and nearly ten times that OF
Japan.
The revenue of the United Kingdom
is more than four times that of Japan,
but the foreign trade is II times and
the national debt 12 times greater.
The marked contrast between the ma
tional debts of the United Kingdom and
Japan is that the former has been
raised almost entirely for carrying on
the wars in which that country has
been engaged during the last 200 years.
while that of Japan has been chiefly for
public works and industrial enter
prises.
In the United States the population
is, roughly, twice the number in Japan,
its size is 90 times as large. its revenue
four times as great, while the foreign
trade of the United States is nine times
and its national debt seven times that
of Japan. Russia covers o%ne-seventh of
the surface Of the globe, is 60 times the
size of Japan. but its population is less
than three times greater, consequently
population in Japan is 20 times thicker
than in Russia. France has an area
nearly 40 per cent. larger than Japan.
but a population 10 per cent. less, and
not growing. Its national debt is enor-
mous-the largest of any nation in the
world-nearly double that of the
United Kingdom and 20 times that Of
Japan. Germany, which now aims at
becoming a world power, is about the
same size as France, or 40 per cent.
larger than Japan, while it's population
is on%e-fourth greater. A striking fea-
ture of the population of Germany is
that it is growing at a much greater
rate than that of the United Kingdom
or Japan. and iustifes, in some meas
ure, the desire for expansion.

THE INTELLIGENT JUROR.
One Who Had to Inquire the Meaning
of "PlaintiH" and "De-
PENDANT"

1t is a common and natural practice Of
lawyers in addressing a jury to single out
one member who seems to them the most
him. They usually feel that if they can
impress him, his Influence will be valuable
in its effect upon tho other members. If
they make a mistake they rarely discover
it, says the New York Sun. But the
stenographer Of one division of the supreme
erurt tells an incident of a mistake that
was found out.
All the testimony in a case had been
taken, the lawyers for both sides had
summed up, and the judge had charged the
jury, when up rose the intelligent juror
whom both counsel had singled out as the
recipient of their imprisoned appeals. He
wanted the court to give him some in
formation.
q have been bothered a good DEAL" said
the juror, about two words the lawyers
use here all the time"
"What are they" asked the court, ex-
peeting, to be called upon to expound res
inter altos acta or a %fortiori, or some other
dead terms.
"Why. plaintiff and defendant" said
the juror. II don't just know what they

fS1Y THE aid of the calendar hang

that there were IA weeks before Dec
grafton day.
She vas not an adept at mental arith-
metic, so that it was quite a lengthy
and laborious piece of work for her
to calculate that if she saved IL cents
each of those IA weeks, she would
have one dollar and 6S cents.
She had just finished counting it up
a second time in order to be sure that
it was correct, wher her neighbor, Mrs.
Wilkes, from the next room below in
the big tenement house, came in for
their usual evening chat. She was a
thin, nervous looking little woman of
middle age. Neither her faded gray
hair nor her dress was tidy. She was
a strong contrast to Mrs. Pell, who was
always neat and clean; she was much
older than Mrs. Wilkes, too.
Most of Mrs. Pell's days were spent
in office cleaning, while Mrs. Wilkes
time was we'll filled with washing and
ironing.
After they had exchanged theirnews
of the day, Mrs. Pell said: would you
think that a body could get a nice lot
of flowers for a dollar and sixty-eight
cents??"
"Sure and I'd think that a lot of
money to be spendin' in such a way"
answered Mrs. Wilkes. with a look of
surprise on her weather-beaten face.
"IH like it to be more" returned
Mrs. Pell, shut not a cent more than
IL cents a week can I spare"
I'm sure I'm not KNOWN what
your talkin' about" said Mrs. Wilkes,
the surprise in her face increasing.
"Ill be tellin' you. It's for the graves
on Decoration day. I've just set my
heart on coverin' 'em with flowers this
year. I've. been wantin' to do it every
year, but somethin' always happened

to be there"

They had almost stripped the many
bushes in their garden.
After their grandfather's and grand
mothers and Aunt Edith's graves had
been piled high with odorous blossoms
there was still a large basketful Of
beautiful white roses left.
"Let us drive around and see if there
are any graves without any flowers"
said Berta.
"Yes," said Mrs. Graham, 81 like
that thought"
But there did not seem to be n
graves undecorated until they reached
a nor distant part of the cemetery.
There two sunken graves, with
weather-worn wood markers at the
head, were fowerless.
GLOW lonely they look!" said Tom.
"Ys," said Mrs. Graham, 81 think
that you must empty this basket on
them"
LET Tom and me do it." said Berta.
So she and her brother jumped. out OF
the carriage and went over to the two
graves. There We're enough roses, to
completely cover them both.
"Now they don't look so lonely"
said Berta, with q backward glance, as
she drove away.
And SO it was that when late in the
afternoon Mrs. Pell came to the lonely
spot where lay her husband and son,
she found the two mounds a mass of
exquisite roses. And they looked like
the roses she had had in her little
country home in those long past days

The editor of the Review was
very unfortunate last week in
making a comparison of financial
affairs between his home town
and IA neighboring city of
Ortonville. While the Milbank
city government has been pay
ing its debts and accommodating a
surplus for payment on bonds,
an Ortonville paper a few weeks
ago presented the financial situa-
ton Of the municipality thereas
follows:
This city had a floating indebt-
edness January 1st, 1902, to the
amount Of Sl3, 933 80 and on Jan
uary 1st, 1903, the outs landing
orders amounted to SIS, 1921,
therefore the city ran behind
1889 during the year, and where
it will end nobody knows"
Ofcourse, it may be the acme of
good tinanciering Tor a little city
to come out nearly s., 900 short
of its yearly expenses, but we
hardly believe it is a desideratum
for which the people of Milbank
are longing. The old fashioned
plan of paying your debts, and
keeping as far from bankruptcy
as possible may not be ''progres-
sive' or ''enterprising," but in
the long run it will be found as
effective for communities and
municipalities as for individuals.
