The Sacrifice.

Desert with your fiery heart
And your hot, red sands that eat the
sun,
Take your prlmeval sacrifice,
The life-drops OF another one!
So death and hate have battled long
In mortal conflict on your breast.
And here In blood your sons have sealed
Their heritage OF wild unrest.
They steal like phantoms through the
dawn.
Like desert lizards do they blde.
Like desert demons swarm the path
Where e'er the White Intruders ride.
Their eyes are keen, their rife balls
Fly true and bear their vengeance far;
They fade like shadows and they rise
Like the sand devils that they are.
'Tis over. and the cavalcade
With stated vengeance In their eyes.
Ride on and leave the Aztec god
TO claim his human sacrifice.
Wallace Irwin, IN Sunset Magazine for
Jule.

CATERING TO THE WOMEN.
Sarah Grand Tells a witty story Of
Rival Churches.

Rival Churches.
At the Whltefriars' club in London,
Ambassador Choate proposed a toast
to "SOvran Woman" at a recent ladies'
banquet, and to this toast Sarah
Grand replied. Her reply was witty.
Among other things she said
ut is good Of you to set apart as
you do here, one day year for wom-
en-. 1t is also wise OF you to do this.
To cater to the ladies is never q
waste Of time.
However, there is such a thing as
offensive and inapt catering to the
ladies, and | recall a case In point.
There were two rival churches In a
small inland town, and whatever one
church did, the other endeavored to
surpass. Both were in course OF rem.
ovation one summer, and, as the work
went on, they watched each other
anxlously to escape being outdone.
Two spies from the first church,
visiting the second as the renovations
neared their end, saw painted above
the chancel the motto, Good will to
men,.
IA, they said. this won't do. We
have no motto over on chancel. We
must get one. and one that beats our
neighbors here
Accordingly they placed above
their own chancel the words, Good
will to women And that was a case
OF catering to the ladies which was
hardly apropos. Detroit News.Trf
