From the St. James Gazette.
 The Germans In East Africa are not the first to meet natives believing themselves bullet-proof. When the many prove vulnerable, then comes the awkward hour of the preacher. One Why Oriental got over the difficulty in a manner already recalled in this col umn. He placed living accomplice beneath the ground, with breathing tube extending upward from his coffin. The hidden one was made to answer the inquiries of the doubters who wished to ask questions of the slain in Paradise. And then that cautious ruler, lest the illusion should perish, built in the man who had assisted him. mere follows after death Paradise, with a place beneath the throne of heaven, fruit from the Tree of Happi- ness, wine-forbidden in this existence and milk and honey and houris moro

 "I'll chip in $25,000 with the rest of you said the Standard Oil man. Same here, said the Beef trust official. I'm in,' I answered. and there was nothing for the Globe man to do but chip in, too. In about five minutes I handed Coolidge check for Sl00,000; the other three each handed over to me one of $25,0O0 and we resumed our confab. In that brief space we four had parted with $lO0 O0O as though we had used 1t to ignite cigar ette-so far as it's meaning anything tc us was concerned.

Drunk a Reg of Beer.

From Fuel
 John Rinker, Scranton Pa9 teamster won a bet he made with Steve Spott Of North Scranton, that he could drink keg of beer containing eight gallons, in an hour. He won s10 by performing the feat, and the loser paid for the beer.
 After Rnker had drained the keg of the last drop he showed through the crowd around the table and made his way toward the bar. Want to get a good drink' he explained, as he ordered up a schooner.
 In draining the keg Rinker used a rub Der tube, which he inserted into the bunghole, forming syphon. The other end of the tube he placed in his mouth and at a. nod from the official timers he began to drink. In exactly twenty-eight minutes after the start was made the keg was tipped on end and Rinker had won.

The Breaking Plow.

The Breaking Plow.
am the plow that turns the sod
That has lain for thousand years
Where the prairie's wind-tossed flowers
nod
And the wolf her wild cub rears.
I come. and in my wake. like rain,
Is scattered the golden seed
I change the leagues Of lonely plain
To fruitful gardens and field Of grain
For men and their hungry breed.
I greet the earth in its rosy morn;
am first to stir the soil.
I bring the glory Of wheat and corn
For the crowning Of those who toll.
I am civilizations seal and sign:
Yea, am the mighty pen
That writes the sod with a pledge divine,
A promise to pay with bread and wine
For the sweat Of honest men.
am the end Of things that were
And the birth Of things to be;
My coming makes the earth to stir
With a new and strange decree.
After its slumbers. deep and long,
waken the drowsy sod
And SOW my furrow with lifts Of song
To glad the heart Of the mighty throng
Slow feeling the way to God.
A thousand summers the prairie rose
Has gladdened the hermit bee;
A thousand winters the drifting SHOWS
Have whitened the grassy sea-
Before me curls the wavering smoke
OF the Indians smoldering fire;
Behind me rise-was It God who spoke?-
At the toll enchanted hammers stroke
The town and the glittering spire.
I give the soil to the one who does
For the 10y Of him and his;
rouse the slumbering world that was
To the diligent world that is.
Oh. seer with vision that looks away
A thousand long years from now,
The marvellous nation your eyes survey
Was born Of the purpose that here today
Is guiding the breaking plow!

Just when good dining meant my woe,
would rejoice and safely eat
My favorite pastry, fruit and meat.
With digestion worth a cent
know that should be content.

GEMS IN VERSE
The Poets PRAYER.


A poet prayed aloud for power to sing
To all mankind one sweet soul thrilling
song
To bring forgetfulness Of daily wrong
And swift surcease of transient trials
bring.
Der all the land his earnest prayer took
wing.
Soft echoing here and there amid the
throng
From heart to heart, as gently borne
along
AS breeze blown fragrance from the flow
ers in spring,
And when the poet walked among his
kind,
Behold. they did great homage to his
name;
Gave thanks for endless good his
words had wrought
And blessed the teachings Of a master
mind.
Nor knew he whence came luster to his
fame,
For. 10. his prayer had been the song
he sought!

Tho House of Success.
There are no elevators In the House Of
Success,
But the stairs are long and steep.
And q man who would climb to the very
top
Before he dare walk must creep.
There are no carpets In the House Of Suo-

But the floors are hard and bare
With slippery places all about
And pitfalls here and there.
There are no lounges or easy chairs
Nor places to rest your spine,
But when one has arrived on the roof at
last
Ah. but the view Is fine!

The Man That Laughs First.

You've all heard the trite little motto
That he who laughs last laughs the best
Be that as 1t may, tits half hearted way
OF meeting friends little jest.
Perhaps 1t Is wise to be solemn,
To sit back with lips tightly pursed,
Till all Of the rest have applauded with
zest,
But here's to the man that laughs first
OF course am twisting the motto
To suit this melodious lay,
But many I've found who twist 1t around
In just this Identical way.
Pray. go to the play If you doubt 1t
And wait for the laughter to burst
The number is vast that waits to laugh
last,
So here's to the man that laughs first.
We all like the rollicking fellow
Who sees, in jiffy, the point,
Who throws back his head and laughs
'' ION the dead
Till his features are all out Of joint.
The man that laughs last. imagine,
With q weak sense Of humor Is cursed.
Let's laugh while we may; it's but for q
day;
So here's to the man that laughs frsti

Where are you journeying. little boy.
So far from the world and me?
Your round. blue eyes are alight with Joy
At something I cannot see.
Wonderful visions Of dewy dells,
Where sprites fit to and fro
On shadowy wings and weave their spells
Ger the pilgrims that come and go;
Fire eyed goblins that grin and nod
At the fluttering butterflies.
Fairies asleep meath the goldenrod
That bends under autumn skies
All these must lie on the road you tread
And beckon you on the while
Toward the light that is lingering on
ahead
In the land of the rainbow's smile.
Take me with you, far seeing elf,
To that realm where you are today,
Where worldly cares and thoughts Of self
Are ever 80 far away.
Show me the wonders your little eyes
Have learned to discover there,
For I see them light with a pleased sur-
prise
As you sit in that rocking chair.
And, swinging so dreamily, look away
To country beyond my ken,
A country fear you will seek some day
And never come back again.
Yet know no way that child may 60,
With a fair and cloudless brow
And never a shadow Of pain or woe.
