Catch and radlate the sunshine,
Pass along the word of cheer.
Give a tender smile or token
To the sad ones far and near.

And reflect 1t far and wide.
Sending forth its rays the brightest
Where the darkest shadows hide.
To the weary. heavy laden.
Walking lonely down the road,
Lend hand to help them onward;
1t will lift a heavy load.
To the aged and the careworn,
Grown SO weary of the way,
You can be a very sunbeam,
Bringing light and Joy to-day.
Not alone In crowded alleys
Do we find the sorest need;
There is sorrow in the palace,
There are hearts that break and bleed.
Scatter sunshine. brother. sister.
SympathiZe with smile or tear;
Make this whole wide world the brighter
For your tender words of cheer.

islands are uninhabited, but are shown on
the admiralty charts.
The affair is regarded here as being ca
pable Of easy adjustment, being it Is as
serted at the admiralty, without doubt the

of the commander OF the American man-of-

no representations recently from the Brit

the small islands south of the Philippine
