In words of One syllable.

From the New York Mail.
Think not that strength lies in the
big, round word.
Or that the brief and plain must
needs be weak.
To whom can this be true who once
has heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all
men speak,
When want, or woe, or fear is at the
throat,
So that each word gasped out is like
a Shrek
Pressed from the sort heart, or
strange, wild note
Sung by some fay or fiend? There is
a strength
Which dies IL stretched too far or
spun too fine.
Which has more hight than BREADTH
more depth than length.
Let but this force Of thought and
speech be mine.
And he that will may take the sleek
fat phrase,
Which glows and burns not, though
II CLEAN and shine:
Light. but not heat-a flash without a
blaze
Nor IT is mere strength that the short
word boasts:
It serves Of more than fight or storm
to tell
The roar of waves that dash the rock
bound coasts,
The crash of tall trees when the
wild winds swell.
The roar of guns, the groans OF men
that die
on blood-stained fields. It has a
voice, as well.
For them that far off on their sick
beds lie.
For them that weep, for them that
mourn the dead,
For them that laugh and dance and
clasp the hand.
To Joys quick step. as we'll as griefs
low tread,
The sweet, plain words we learn az
first keep time,
And though the theme be sad or gay
or grand
with each. with ALL these may be
made 70 chime
IN thought, or speech, or song, or
prose, or rhyme.

TRULY Ala WEDDING.
from the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Thirteen as an unlucky number has
no terrors for Arthur C. Staples and
his bride, for if either had been of a
superstitious trend the wedding that
took place last evening in the Arch
Street Presbyterian Church would
have been changed in almost every
particular By accident the recurrence
of the fearsome number in the ar
rangements became known, but neither
the bride nor the bridegroom thought
for a moment of changing any detail
of the ceremony.
The wedding was that of Miss Edna
Fisher Stout, daughter of Chief Clerk
Thomas S. Stout of the city solicitors
office, to William Staples, a clerk in
the controllers office of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. The ceremony was
performed at 7:15 o'clock, a multiple
of Is and making 13 when added up,
and the date was Oct. Is. Rev. Mer-
letters in his name, and there were Is
attendants, including ushers, brides
maids best man and maid of honor
Invitations were sent out to the
number of 1,066, a multiple of Is, and
the invitations went to &c principal d.
visions of the world including %
states of the United States and three
foreign countries. Thirteen ministers
were among the guests. After the
couple shall have returned, thirteen
days hence, from a trip to St. Louis,
at home receptions will be held in
November on the popularity supposed
to-be unlucky day of the week-Fri-
day.

The Value of Argument.

ut says here" remarked the man
who is always trying to work up an
argument, according to the New York
Mail, that in a recent automobile race
at New York, where there were some
twenty starters, all dropped out before
the end was reached but two, so it
was decided that there was no winner
of the third prize. Now, I'd like to
know what authority the judges had
for making such a decision as that"
why, if only two finished, of course
they were first and second"
But how do you know that? Sup
posing three had finished. The one
that got second price might have been
third What right has Judge to say
you're second when you may be a mile
behind at the finish? You might by
rights be fifth or sixth. Now, ac-
cording to my

DRAGxET FOR PENSIONERS.

The administration at Washington il
apparently leaving nothing undone to
curry favor with voters. One of the
latest schemes resorted to, it seems, is
the sending of circulars to all of the
young men who enlisted during the
Spanish-American War explaining to
them how pensions may be obtained.
The circulars contain blanks to be fill
ed out with the names, addresses and
military records of those to whom they
are sent. The explanation is made
that the government wishes to keep
in touch with those who have been in
the military or naval service of the
country" The blanks. when filed in
and signed. are to be returned to the
Commissioner. of Pensions, Washing
ton, D. c.
All of the circumstances attending the
distribution of these circulars, to be
returned to the Commissioner of Pen
sions, lead to the conclusions that the
bureau wishes it understood that pen
sions are not so hard to get, under
Republican administration, and that
if the veterans" of the Spanish-Ameri-
can War know on which side their
bread is buttered they will vote to
keep the Republicans in power and
make an early application for the boun-
ty of the government. This belief is
strengthened by the fact that the cir
culars are being distributed just on
the eve of the presidential election.
The government wishes to keep in
touch" with the veterans" who are
voters and to impress them with the
idea that it is their devoted friend, ever
ready to do them a good turn by ad-
hitting them to a place at the treas
ury feeding trough.
A statement published some months
ago was to the effect that relatively
few Southern men who volunteered for
the Spanish War had applied for pen
sions, while in the case of some of
the Northern regiments more than half
of the enlisted strength had put in
applications for government aid. At
tention was especially called to the
fact that in the cases of one regiment
from New York, and one from Penn
sylvania, about 70 per cent. of the en-
listed strength had applied for pen
sions.

when He Felt Interested.

The church row in Scotland between
the Frees" and the United Frees"
has brought out a lot of stories more
or less illustrative of Scotch charac-
ter, says an exchange. Here is one:
John Sanderson was on his way home
from town, where he had been imbib-
ing with freedom, when he met the
minister. OF course, the church ques-
ton was uppermost in Johns mind.
Therefore he said: What about the
deceesion O. the hoose O. lords. Are
we to lose the kirk" Come and see
me when you are sober, John, and
I'll tell you all about it." answered

VALUE OF roTAL ADsTINENcE.

at is a curious fact" says the New
York Herald, that the prohibition
movement in England was first or
ganized through the refusal of life
insurance company in 1910 to accept
total abstainer at it's ordinary rates"
That was only sixty-four years ago.
At that time the medical examiners
for insurance companies held it to be
necessary for the people to drink a
ing off infection, and nearly everybody
drank. When man came along who
was a total abstainer, the medical ex-
aminer for the company regarded him
as so different from the ordinary man
that he advised against his being ac-
cepted at the regular rates. The out
come was that the man who had been
denied insurance because he didn't
drink organized a total abstainers' in
surance company and the organized
prohibition movement in England had
it's inception.
How differently insurance people re-
gard the matter of drinking to-day!
Now the English companies are glad
to allow a premium of 10 per cent. to
the man who never touches a drop of
spirits. During the past sixty-one
years various insurance companies have
been collecting and preserving data
bearing on the effect of alcoholic stimu-
lants on the human system. This data
has recently been tabulated and its
conclusions shown in brief.
The ordinary prohibition argument is
based in prejudices and is therefore
not convincing to the open-minded. 1t
is extremely difficult to induce a sane
person to believe that moderate in
diligence in liquor makes the partaker
thereof a moral outcast and a physi-
cal wreck. Such arguments are stupid.
But when it is asserted, and reliable
figures are produced from authentidat-
ed cases to prove that total abstinence
is valuable from the points of view
of bank account as we'll as health and
longevity, then the argument becomes
the more forceful and interesting. And
that is what the insurance figures show.
The death-rate among total abstain
ers is very much lower than among
moderate drinkers. This being true,
the insurance companies have found
it advisable to create a separate class
for the non-drinkers and to insure them
at lower rates. And, the death rate
being lower in that class, the dividends
to be distributed among the insured
are larger than are those of the
classes to which the moderate drinkers
are admitted.
The investigation which adduced these
facts was made in a scientific and I'M
prejudiced manner. 1t covered 1875, 900
live over a period of sixty-one years.
1t Vas undertaken for business rea-
sons, not for the purpose of compiling
a temperance or total abstinence ar
gument. The facts shown, therefore,
make one of the strongest total alb
stinence arguments that could be pro-
duced.

deeper
You see how it is, your highness,"
he said. THE enemy doesn't know
anything about compensatory tactics.
He doesn't appear to realize that when

sighed heavily. We'll, there's one thing

says: Eugene Debs, at least, is
frank. He says he not only doesn't
expect to be elected President, but
doesn't want to be. He is evidently
running for the purpose of ascertain
ing how many cranks there are in the

being shipped from this country to
both Russia and Japan. The fact
appears to be we'll known in Wash

Washington of neither Of those govern
ments have requested the United
States to interfere IL is presumed
each is indisposed to block the other
for fear of having his own country de-
prived OF the terrible engines Of de-
structlon which have been ordered"

Gen. Charley" Grosvenor of Ohio,
who has become known as the official
guesser at majorities of the Republic
can party. has sharpened his pencil
and made an estimate. He gives
Roosevelt all of the doubtful states,
and displays an inclination to claim
one or more of the Southern states for
the Republican ticket. Through his
rainbow-tinted spectacles he can see
nothing but the brightest outlook for
the Republican party, with scarcely
a Democrat in sight after the votes
have been counted. But then. on our
side, We have Gen. Grosvenor well
matched with James X. Jones of Ar
kansas. He can see the silver-and-
rose tinted side of the cloud even in

be. And he also has his pencil out

A STORY OF MARSHAL OYAMA.

OF several anecdotes of Gen. Oyama,
says an Exchange, this is especially
characteristic:
1t happened that in the fall of some
years ago, the general was hunting in
a hilly district. He was clad in his
ordinary clothes, and, CHANGING to ask
for a cup of tea at a small hut where
an old woman was living alone, she
carefully surveyed him and expressed
her admiration.
How big you are. You've shot some
game, 1 suppose?''
The general smiling said: mo, not
any"
"Oh, you can't make a living out of
hunting. Work as a day labor with
your body. 1 tell you, and you could
make so yen."
''In a month";"
ooh. no! In year, of course. But
come and get to work. I'll let you have
job any time"
well, thank you. I may come again
and ask your advice"
do so, by all means. Your big body
is too good to waste on hunting"
