WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE.

He is the Way Through Him are all things
good
And pure and lovely found Our feet will
tread
The paths of Gods divine beatitude
IL we by Him are LED.
To nobleSt thoughts and aspirations high,
The calm, sweet strength of souls that
watch and pray,
TO light and peace and JOY that cannot die
He is the Way.
He is the Truth. Ths world has doubt and
sin,
And to our seeking can no answer give,
But we who know Him hold our souls
within
The grace by which We live
In Him are all things that the hungry heart
OF human life can ask in age or youth;
Who walks with Him is from the world
apart,
He is the Truth.
He is the Life-a life that knows not death
Or fear or darkness in this transient
clay,
BIT has it's birth where God ilumineth
His own eternal DAY.
Life whose unmeasured deeps Of love pro-
Are never troubled by this dark worlds
strife,
Life whose SURPRISING bliss no thought can
bound,
He is that Life.

nifcant sum of Attraction OF the Midway.

tors with claims aggregatihg some
thing like 100000. The wheel was
bought by firm of junk dealers, ana
at the end of the present summer it is
to come down and go into the scrap
pile.
1t cost 1862 600 to erect the Ferris
wheel in the Worlds Fair grounds,
where it stood as the star attraction
of the Midway. After the fair several
efforts were made to dispose Of it prof
itably. At one time it was expected
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
would purchase it to add to the at
fractions at Coney Island. The late
Gov. Flower was interested in this
scheme, but died before it was car
ried to completion and the whole thing
was dropped.
When the court sale occurred few
days ago it was expected that both J.
D. Rockefeller and Joseph Letter
would bid for it. The former, it was
said, wished to remove It to Coney
Island. while the latter was supposed
to desire to take it to St Louis as
features of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position. If either had contemplated
bidding for it both repented before it
was too late.
Chicagoans have never taken TO the
wheel. In its last location on the
North side it has been visited each
summer by number of people visit
ing the city, but not in sufficient n UNI
bers to make its operation profitable,
and it did but little except to Pile new
debts onto old ones.
The cost Of dismantling the NAM
moth structure will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, but it is expected
that the boilers and engines and the
immense quantity of steel which it
contains will more than recompense
its purchasers for this expense.

are to be found in other large cities,
and above all the city gives him no
legal right to the right of way.
The fire engine, the hook and lad

wagon, that GO changing down the
streets in a wild race to fire, have no
more legal rights on the streets than
has the horse and wagon of the ped

mad through the streets and run over
some pedestrian the law would hold
him responsible. SO, too, the law would
hold the fire department. driver. There

Another danger which threatens
the department drivers are the swing
bridges over the river. On dark, fog
gy nights it is practically impossible
for the drivers to tell whether or not
the bridges they have to cross and re-
cross are open or closed. yet the rules
of the department say the ponderous
machines must go rushing onward.
and the driver must take his chances
of going over or into the water.

passes upon every candidate for adInls-

good health; her character must be

more than usual intelligence. The
course at the school occupies not less
than 16 weeks, and during that time
she gets nothing save her board, and
must cook her own meals. The course
includes theology, oratory, tter-wrlt-
ing, the preparation of r ports, the
rules and regulations of the army,
cooking and general Homework, and
the general work. of the army, such as
its rescue and charitable features.
After they have graduated from the
school they are placed on the army

vide their living and clothing, and for
this small wage must labor in the

cheap dance halls under the name of

The dance halls into which women

are attractive to class of girls who
go there with no intention of inten-
