The Sabbath Day,
The Old Jewish Sabbath was well
enough

The Old Jewish Sabbath was we'll
enough
Till the new dispensation came,
They found fault with Christ in
manner rough,
And they called him an ugly name.
Twas a Sabbath breaker they called
him then,
For he walked in the fields and did eat
OF the ears of corn, and he gave to
the men
Who close followed his sacred feet
"For the Sabbath for man was
made, he said,
And not man for the Sabbath, how
strange
That would sound in some churches
who are led
BY different spirit of change.
There were Sabbath daysliourneys'
even then,
Though no railroads to take them on,
And thespirit of liberty came to men
When he walked the green grass npon
SIS it lawful to do good or ill?' said
he,
Please have charity friends to-day,
For not all these who with you may
disagree
May be hypocIites or knaves, | say.
And the heart that's fullest of
Christian love
May be farthest from liberty.
Every man his conscience must keep
above
What others against it may cry
There's a change, tits different age
And the world with the times doth
move,
And we hope that consideration sage
Far more liberal all will prove.
Do not swallow the camel whale
While you strain at the little gnat,
Even aspirations have soul.

LIKE AS A FATHER"


Sent up to bed in the dark. alone,
Where all OF the corners We're weird and
dim
At every turning-my little son.
Sent for some childish mischief done
At the hour when childish hearts are high
with joy of the evenings revelry-
And his fault at worst was a tiny one!
a wistful moment his feet delayed,
Waiting to let my face relent,
And then. a pitiful penitent.
His faltering, frightened way he made:
But up in the ~stairway's deepest shade
l heard him pause where the hadows
crowd
And whisper, Father" and sob aloud,
Father. go with me. I am afraid
Quick as his calling my answer leapt.
Strong as his terror my shielding arms
Folding him close from the nights alarms,
Sheltered and comforted while ne wept;
And up In the nursery's light | kept
y tender watch until he smiled again.
Till the sobs OF his half-remembered pain
LeSsened and hushed, and the baby slept.
Father of love. when my day is done
And all of my trespasses written in,
Not for q ~thoughtless or willful sin
Send me out in the dark alone:
Rut so as l remembered by little son,
Come TO the prayer of my pleading breath
And lead me safe through the night OF
death,
Father of light, when my light is gone!

GET FAT
Executives Live Well Mt LAO
White House-Habits of
II Number.

A president of the United States works
a dozen things to do for every minute
he is not asleep, and then will have much
business u~ndisposed Of at the end OF the
week. 1t is business, too, that keeps him
at his desk and in his Office, says the De-
troit Fl &c Press. He must be sedentary
II he does the work of his office. The
mere signing of his lame to commissions
and all sorts of executive papers, to say
nothing of his mail, occupies fully half
his time, and obviously a president can
not sign his name and tax exercise at
the same time. The result is that presl-
dents grow fat-President Roosevelt Is
the great exception to the stick to your
desk rule, but President Roosevelt Is
getting fat, too. Mr.. Roosevelt breaks
away. He goes horseback riding and
takes long walks. He boxes, fences,
plays single stick and tennis and does
ali sorts of athletic feats. If mere exer-
else would keep him down he would be
thin as a rail. He is a vOracious eater.
He has been an athlete all his life, and
now that he is in the 40's is taking on
flesh, as all athletes do when they get
along in years.
The presidents struggle with fat keeps
him reasonably within bounds. He has
gained only 20 pounds since he went into
the white house, and now announces his
weight at 1856. If he did not exercise he
would weight 220 by this time, with
good prospects for another 20 pounds in
the e two years.
President Arthur did not exercise.
President Cleveland rarely went out.
President Harrison took long walks, but
not the kind of walks that keen off fat.
President Mckinley went driving fire.
quently, but there is no physical exer-
ton in riding in a victoria. He strolled
slowly around the white house grounds
a few times a week. The result was that
Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison and Mckin-
ley took On flesh. Mr.. Cleveland was
large when he was elected president.
Arthur was a well-nourished man. Har-
rison was small and Mckinley was not
fat. Arthur became larger in girth.
Cleveland put on pound after pound.
Harrison developed a paunch, and Nc
kinlCy became fatter. Presidents live
well. Usually they have good appetites.
They cannot help getting fat. Any man
who sits at his desk all day and eats
three meals of rich food will expand
physically if he is healthy.
W. t. Sinclair, steward of the white
house, who has catered for four presi-
dents, says: THE individual tastes Of
the presidents in the way Of food vary
materially. Mr.. Mckinley was the cas-
lest to please of all and Mr.. Harrison the
most difficult.

Manhattan, Kans., March l4.-One Of
the ~strangest cases that has ever been

at times symptoms of Spinal, Meningitis.
through these troubles, but after the fever
Bright's Disease set in and the doctors
gave her up. Her father tells the rest of
the story:
Eve began to give her Dodd's Kidney
Pills and after she had taken about three
and a half boxes, she was entirely cured;
Now she is well as any child, running and
playing as if nothing had ever been the
matter with her. The doctors said she
was beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd,s
Kidney Pills certainly saved our little
girls life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage of Bright's Disease that we
thought nothing could save her"

PASSING OF THE RANCH BARON
sewer owners of Immense Cattle
Herds in the West Than
in Years Past.

The cattle baron of the western
plains is rapidly becoming extinct.
Like the Indian, he is disappearing be-
fore the onward march Of settlers upon
the public OMAN. There are no
longer vast tracts of territory he can
appropriate to his own uses, for the
lane is being sold to farmers from the
east and from Europe. The rancher is
either going out Of business or prepar-
ing to go, says the Chicago Chronicle.
The cause for this impending change
is the contraction of the range and the
invasion of the small cattlemen. The
farmers have taken up the land along
the streams where the water is found,
and while there are thousands of acres
Of dry range land which afford good
grazing for part of the year, they are
removed from water and the sources
OF supply are cut off by the small
farmer, who is utilizing it. This is by
no means an unmixed evil or even the
forerunner of the impending decline of
the c~attle-raising industry. 1t simply
signifies that the cattle barons are
slowly finding themselves short of ter
ritory on which to range their stock.
Their places, however, will be taken
by the farmer and stockman Of limited
means, who is content with devoting
his energies to raising small herds of
cattle.
The passing Of the cattle baron in
the northwest marks the transition era
from low-grade to higher-grade live
stock that IS destined to e~volutionize
and revolutionize the c~attle-raising in
dustry. The displacement Of the cat
tie baron, with a vast area of land de-
voted solely to the grazing and breed
ing of low-grade cattle, will give way
to diversified farming tnat will insure
sheltered cattle-feeding in the winter
seasons, fewer losses of live stock and
better quality OF cattle for the sotck
market. The impending cnange does
not augur disaster to the state. On
the contrary, it will be a harbinger of
more substantial prosperity.
The subdivision of the great cattle
ranges into stock farms will be fol-
lowed by a marked increase in sub
stantial wealth and population, which
will grow from year to year and can
not fail to give the highest develop
ment to the resources of the state.
