THE GLIMPSE.

As one who lives far inland day by day.
And knew in legend only or in dream
The open deep. yet ere he passed away
Went down at last by rilI and widen
ing stream.
And. tottering to a cliff, beheId the sea.
And woke TO life's more luminous lost
sweep,
And in his one hour asked regretfulIy
To slumber there beside that alien
deep
So I. God grant, who sometimes hear
above
Earths din the sea, and thro this rest
less sleep
Have caught thin momentary echoes OF
LIES better things, and my poor
broken dreams
OF 2saSty known, shall some day yet
with love
OF wider visions follow Hopes thin
streams,
And ere the twilight falls shall humbly
creep,
BY many paths where many sorrows
wend,
out 10 the last lone headIand, and there
sleep
BY my belated ocean, in the end,

Palestine and Iron Beds.

The Daily Consular and Trade Re-
ports says that, owing to the large
influx OF foreign tourists to Palestine,
the importation of many articles, such
as iron beds and furniture, has greatly
increased.
Iron beds as one of the by-products
OF migration and travel are much to
be commended. Indeed, they might
be recommended to resorts not quite
so distant as Jerusalem. 1t is not
necessary to wander beyond the limits
of Christendom to wonder why Allah
made such fierce friends of humanity
and made Such numbers of them.

Andrew B. DuVall.

In the death of Andrew B. Duvall

ness, combined with learning and
ability.
Andrew B. Duvall leaves a clean and
honorable record as a lawyer; as 4
man he will be kept in affectionate
remembrance until the present gener-
alton has passed away.

One Service of the Press.

The attrition of everyday social and
business intercourse is the means
whereby our minds and manners are
polished. No matter how large the
soul, how extensive the learning, how
good the disposition may be, we need
constantly to be in contact with and
to rub against our fellows in order
to gain and keep the polish that will
reveal our true worth.
There are crude, rough edges to all
or us that need grinding down; but
the man OF too sensitive and retiring
disposition is apt to avoid the thing
he most needs, good. wholesome con-
tradiction and correction by friendly
or unfriendly contact with others.
Herein lies the true reason why so
many successful business men fear to
retire when their legitimate financial
needs have been provided for; they
fear the rust Of their faculties, the
dreadful WEAKNESS of lack of occu-
patton; they are trained to business
and know very little else.
The full rounding Of character that
should be the main end of every
mans endeavor would avoid this
slavery to one set of activities. With
a mind actively open to the larger
movements Of the race no man should
be bored or driven to vicious in
dulgences though he had acquired
the wealth of Rockefeller and had
retired from active business.
The press of today by keeping our
business men in constant touch with
the advance OF science and the de-
lights of intelligent travel is per-
forming a great public service by
awakening and keeping active inter-
ests snd desires that can only lead to
good to the individual and benefit to
the race.

The world has a way OF hiding its

rent The birds Of the air, the beasts

scatter the seeds of countless plants
over the places laid waste today, and
next spring the recurrent pulse of life

Above the broken columns of de-
parted glory the palm tree and the

and what the mottled carpet of the

OF the desert entomb. The impulse
for life, for the present expression of

conserved? Nothing! Absolutely
nothing, He was a brave man; he
did what all of us should do If the
call came; his pains and he are of
yesterday. He has been gathered
unto his fathers. He will rest in
peace
The cessation Of the war will not
salve a wound that was made last
year; it will bring to life neither
Nogi's sons nor the Sous of the poor
est peasant in Nippon. Not only the
men but the horrors of the past are
dead. But peace will conserve the
majority Of the present armies for
the pleasant tasks of life and for the
gentle joys of the fireside.
In the light of the sum of the in
dividual claims to happiness repre-
sented by the vast armies now in
Manchuria peace was demanded, and
peace is blessing. The war has ac-
complished that which was needful;
further fighting would have been a
reckless waste OF life.
War is hell; its horrors have never
been adequately told; time and life
cover its ravages and smooth its
hideous scars. In the spring the hill
sides and the fields of Manchuria will
blossom again, and in few years all
personal memory OF the brave will
have passed away. But the living SOL
diers and the survivors of the fighting
men will pass their manly virtue on
to generations yet to come, and, there
fore, we welcome peace.

Vacation-A Retrospect.

Now that the vacation season is
ever 1t may be well to look back to
see what 1t meant to us. To most OF
us it meant a useful cessation from
the daily grind that mills our bread
and resulting store of energy with
which to turn the wheels for another
year. But that should not be all of
the advantage of a vacation. There
should be a widening of the mental
horizon; more intimate acquaintance
with other people and other condi-
tfons than our own; a store of memo
ries Of country landscapes, of noun
tains, rivers, and lakes; the love of
sea and sky; and knowledge of some
great fact learned, of some useful ex-
perience.
Perhaps we have brought all of
these things home with us, and yet
with the perversity of human nature,
hide them from our friends and limit
our talk of vacation time to discus
sion Of the creature comforts of some
particular hotel or the chronological
tortures of camping. There is one
man in this town who is unable to
describe the glories of his mountain
camp or to tell truthfully how many
trout he caught, but he knows exact
ly. and describes with feeling. the
number and virulence of the chigoe
and mosquito bites he brought back
with him.
By December his memory will
dwell pleasantly on the delights of
camping, and the real benefits Of his
trip will be felt.
