Hona and God.


I know that this frail tenement of clay
Shall crumble into dust and pass
away,
And that the memory of my word and
deed
Shall perish like the dropping wayslde
weed.
know that in little while and then
I'll not be counted in the ranks of men,
But lost to every eye that shines on
earth
Shall be trlnsplanted to some other
birth.
It cannot be that this sad earth is all
That man ipherits in his rise and fall,
And that Jehovah only brought US
here
To perish like the leaves from year to
year.
The soul that. once inspired my fatal
life
And boldly varied in every earthly
strife
shall never cease to reign in lands
above,
Where Hope is truth. and God eternal
love. John A. Joyce.

Mr.. BRyAN's s1INERARY.

Mr.. Bryan-there IS only one AlHeIl-
can who may thus be distinguished
and not concealed by the ordinary pre-
fix to a very common name-Mr. Bry-
an has reached Toxic in his peregrina-
lions about the world. He will call
upon the mikado, and no American will
lack confidence in Mr.. Bryan's ability
to make good appearance and leave
a good impression with the Japanese
emperor. He has already been feted
in Toxic From Toxic he will go to
Manila and take notes ON conditions in
the Philippines. When he has sur
feited himself with the east he will
sail for Europe to "putter around"
among the crowned heads and effete
aristocracy Of that grand division and
thence let us hope safe and sound ana
effervescent with information and rev
ideas, head for home.
Mr.. Bryan is truly, Q. distinguished
citizen" He has grown much OF late
years. Nothing makes men like re-
sponsibility and Mr.. Bryan has had
much of this assumed and forced upon
him during the last eight or ten years.
The Mr.. Bryan of today is vastly diff
ferent from the "gangling' and over
grown intellectually that shrieked IN
high school mysteries OF the crown OF
thorns" and the "cross of gold" lie
has "filled out" to advantage in use
fulness and intellect
Then too, Mr.. Bryan has done we'll.
His lectures have made him money His
calves have thrived. None Of his COWS
give "bloody milk" and there has
been no cholera in his herds. He is a
thrifty man, grown warm as to bank
accounts and real and personal prop
erty. None but the fortunate or
thrifty, may make long world tours.
Perhaps on closer examination Mr..
Bryan has found that much of his hor-
ror Of the cross Of gold was the result
of refraction and that from another
financial position it doesn't look so
bad after all.
The Bryan who spoke at the Chicago
convention and the M. Bryan who is
touring the world are different men.
The Bryan who comes back to US from
the wide cosmos will be differen. from
both. For Mr.. Bryan is a growing
man.

CUMMINS' SPEECH.

The Cummins speech before the
Grant club at Des Moines together with
Congressman Hulls prediction that
Mr. Shaw will be strong candidate
for president before the next conven-
ton has caused the political pot to
boil in Iowa again. 1t does not seem
probable that Iowa will furnish the
candidate for 1905. Another thing, Mr..
Shaw is very much out of harmony

TWO CONOuESTs.

shenandoah Sentinel-Post1
There is a lesson in this fall of D.
r. Wilson that should be taken
home to every young man. There is
no safe way of doing business ex-
cept that of absolute honesty. Never
get in a position where you will be
pinched for money. Do not speculate
Do not waste money on wine or wom-
en-. Do not be extravagant. Do not
buy things that you can get along
without. BE content to work for a
small salary or to do a small bust
ness rather than to risk dishonor. Keep
within reach of the shore all the
time.
Wilson had many good qualities
But he wanted to be bigger man in
business and society than his legiti-
mate business justified. He started
over the line of strict honesty. The
money came easily He started the
endless chain by which he could turn
other mans money without detection
as he thought. He used their credit
instead of his own and without their
knowledge or consent intending to
take up each note without any one
but himself being the wiser. 1t is
the old, old story in new form, but
the end is always the sanle-dis-
grace, suffering and punishment 1t
has been told a thousand times but
is true Just the same that Honesty
is the best policy" Remember it,
hOyS
