Children ShIh

We seek no more a daily prize
Nor triumph in our dreams
SO changed the luster of the skies
So faint and few the CLEANS
4et comes anew, when others play
That unforgOtten thrill,
And are we dull and old to-day,
Or only children still?
We loved the battle once but now
We are not oVeTbOld,
There's wisdom on the weary brow
And in our hearts the cold
Yet in the light of eager eyes
We lose the wintry chill
And then we are not overwiSe,
But simple children still.
The visions of our glorious youth
Have faded long ago;
We hope no more to find the truth
And should we care to know?
Not ours to scale the viewless height
But there's a purple hill,
And still we gladden. at the sight
And climb as children still.
How much of all the good we planned
Is perfect or begun?
Who watched the lifting Of Gods hand
And waits for his well done?
But when the children whom we love
The good we missed fulfill,
Thank God our hearts prevail to prove
The hearts of children still.

who found the body of a drowning
man in the bay and was allowed the
reward of $40 for the recovery Of
bodies. although the rescued one was
not dead.

law in that county providing for the
payment Of IS to the rescuer Of a
drowning man and SO for the recovery
of a dead body.
1T appears that two members OF the
genus hobo struck the place one day.
Things were looking blue for them as
the citizens had no use for 'hobos' and
the latter being without a cent could
get nothing 10 eat. Now the hobos
knew of the law just quoted. and they
agreed to put up job to secure the s.

Please kindly take US all up with you
and do not leave US unprotected, but
destroy our enemies" Such a prayer
is to be found on a Tibetan praying
wheel, said A. r. Wright at a meeting

this prayer wheel which the Tibetan

is that if turned the wrong way every

Thought 1t Vas a Bird.

Two deep-sea Jackies Of Celtic race
and Uncle Samuels service were cruis-
ing for berth one day along a coun-
try road. The joyful festivities OF the
city water front had delayed their re-
turn aboard the white battle-craft
whose honored name in letters OF GOLD
adorned the front Of their blue caps
and now adrift they were rolling ahead
with the gentle sidewise swing OF
ship when she courtesies buoyantly to
the underhurl of the foam-f1ecked wa
ters. They were ahunger and athirst
and had parted with the paymaster's
last donation long before the wharves
were hull-down far astern.
Presently they saw a fine fat bird of
emerald hue in a Well-furnished cage
hanging on the veranda Of a residence.
That parrot a little farther up the
road, placed on the market, would buy
dinner or at least drink, and this
brace of lawless men of the sea bent
themselves to it's capture. One slipped
into the yard while the other mOneyless
mariner stood at anchor watch at the
gate against a possible surprise. Polly
held her peace but noted the trick out

Jack was well within hail. Then she
