NOT HER CLOTHES.

Mrs Ballington Booth tells of az incl dent in one of her rescue missions. ShC was putting a little waif to bed, fold ing her new clothes and teaching he, a childish prayer. Now follow me. said Mrs. Booth, and say as I say
 " Now l lay me down to sleep
 The child repeated the words.
 " I pray thee, God my soul ta keep continued the missionary. 'l pray thee, God my clothes to keep was the version of the child.
 No, not your clothes, my child, IT take care of your clothes
 The little gird jumped to her feet in terror. But won't you pawn them 9 she asked. That's what they always do at home when I have new clothes.' New York Times.

There are some things the people of the United States decline to take seriously. One of them is the at tempt to collect the long standing debt from Turkey. This has been a sort of opera bOuffe performance from the start, but the sultan ought to understand that the matter is get ting serious when the demand for payment is backed by the presence of American warshlps which drew out an- other Turkish promise and departed for Smyrna the other day. It may yet be necessary for Uncle sam to force the Dardanelles, catch the sick man in the harem and shake the money out of his clothes.

A RHYME OF PURE REASON

A Christian Science Proselyte Alone upon a mountain height, Was pondering upon the vain Belief in non- existent Pain, How nervous Dread of any kind Was an Illusion of the Mind, When coming down the mountain
 side
 A dreadful Lion he espied, The Proselyte said, Mercy mel" And quickly Scuttled up Tree Next morning at the rise of sun There came an Unconverted One Who saw the Proselyte at bay And drove the hungry Beast away. The Cynic said, Anal I see Your Claim has got you up Tree" Your judgment" said the Proselyte, Arises from Imperfect Sight. "A Lion to a Soul refined, Is an illusion of the Mind" If that's the Case" the Cynic said. Why show these human signs of

r1r. Landon,s Complaint.

1 Melville D. Landon, better known in 1 Phoenix and elsewhere as Eli Perkins. is almost as we'll known for his polit- ical views as for his sense and practice of humor. MT. Landon was in Phoenix the winter following the last election of President Cleveland and though his affiliations had been republican he was very much of a Cleveland man be- cause of the presidents firm position in the matter of the gold standard. He had just returned to this country from China and the orient. In the course of an interview he said that he had not made a great study of the monetary question until it was forced upon him in China. The solidity of the money system of the United States, Mir Landon said, was the thing most urgently needed. All other questions could wait and in the meantime he was for whatever man or party that could more quickly bring it about.
 Mir. Landon is still in politics. He has lately contributed to the New York Tribune the following character istic letter on the subject of imperial ism:
 Sir: Does anyone want to know why we imperialists are down on the repub- lican party, Mckinley and Roosevelt?
 It is because the republican party. Mckinley and Roosevelt haven't done a single thing for us. Tey have been making republics and putting the stars and stripes over them-and not an em- pire in sight yet.
 What did they do with the empire of Hawaii? Why, they gave 1t a United States governor, let it send a United States congressman to Washington and the United States flag float over it, and 1t is a United States territory with all the liberty of Oklahoma, and will be a state with all the liberty of Massa- chusetts.
 What did they do with Porto Rico and the Philippines? Have they put the imperial flag of Spain on them? No, but the United States Is there. They have representatives in Washing ton and are evoluting into republican states with all the liberty of Connecti- cut. The republicans have built school houses there, have taken down the inn perial flag and over every schoolhouse floats the stars and stripes. They are waiting and praying for statehood. which Roosevelt will surely give them.
 What had Mckinley and Roosevelt done with Cuba? Did they pull down our flag and send the Cubans back to imperial Spain?
 No, they made Cuba a republic, and now she walks hand in hand with Pan anna.
 Why don't the republicans throw back l the s2OOO0, OOO paid for the Philippines and s7OOO,OOO paid for Alaska, pull down the stars and sripes and run up the flags of Spain and Russia?
 No, Roosevelt is working for the glory of the United States He hasn't a drop of imperial blood in him. He | adores the stars and stripes. and that is why we imperialists are going to vote with Bryan and Bourke Cochran to destroy the party which hates our revived imperialism!
