soLAcE IN NATURE

When fortune had no smile for you, and
Joy seemed out Of reach,
And you and happiness, alasl were
very far apart,
Did you ever stand at twilight on some
quiet, wave-washed beach,
And let the seas soft monotone speak
comfort to your heart?
When life had lost its SAVIOR and chill
disappointment fell
On the cherished plan or project that
you had gladly made,
Did you ever bend your footsteps to
some green and tranquil dell,
Where the trees grow leaves for heal
ing and birds sing unafraid7
When death had cast its shadow, and a
loving voice was still
That had been as tender music to the
sunshine of your day,
Did you ever take your sorrow to the
moorland or the hill,
And let the whispering breezes charm
your bitter tears away7
For nature, sweet in silence and passing
sweet in speech,
Has a word for every trouble and balm
for every smart;
But to find her gifts Of solace which are
well within our reach,
We must come az trustful seekers and
draw ever near her heart.

ONLY ONE SUIT FOR FIFTY.

But the Garments Made It Possible for
the indiana to Vote.
Talking about voting under difficult
tes," remarked Representative J..
Adam Bede, Of Minnesota, a few days
ago. II remember out in my State in
former times there was a popular law
that Indians who wore clothes could
vote. The woods were full of Indians,
but suits Of clothes were mighty scarce
around there, especially with the In
dams. Whenever there was no special
interest in the election or it was all
one way the ingenuity Of man was not
stirred up sufficiently to put two and
two together in such a way as to get
those Indians to vote, but one day votes
were mighty valuable and an energetic
worker set out to get Indians.
1.-THE red men were as thick as flies,
but every last one Of them had blan-
ket wrapped about him and very few
of them had ever nad on the clothing
of civilization. The proposition to let
them vote If they wore clothes was
made in order to encourage them in
the ways Of civilization and also with
the idea that man who had on clothes
would be pretty intelligent Indian.
"Well, the demand for votes stirred
up one Of the ward workers, and he
got an old suit of clothes and took it
to hut near the voting precinct One
by one Indians were brought in dressed
up in the clothing Of civilization and
voted. As soon as an Indian had been
voted he was hurried back to the hut
and his clothing was transferred to an
other Indian. The idea spread and 9TH
er enterprisfng political workers set
up the same kind of business. The
number Of Indians that could be vo-
ted with one suit Of clothes was mere
ly limited to the number Of changes
that could be made. Each suit Of
clothes was easily good to vote 80 In
dams. The lightning change acts that
were performed by the Indians would
be an object lesson to lightning change
artists on the Observation-Disclosures
Star.

Observation Has Proved that Both the
Male and Female Incubate.
Apparently two factors enter into
the famingos' type Of architecture,
writes Frank M. Chapman in IA Fla
mingo City" They must build where
there is mud, and at the same time
erect structure high enough to pro-
tect its contents from any normal rise
in the water due to tides or rainfall.
After watching a nesting colony Of
aamingos in the Bahamas for nearly
an hour" at a distance of $50 yards.
Sir Henry Blake stated that the fe-
males sat upon the nests while the
males stood up together. evidently
near by. My dissections, however.
showed that both sexes incubate, while
continued observation from the tent re-
vealed the presence Of only one bird
Of the pair in the rookery at the same
time. The bird on the nest was re-
lieved late In the afternoon and early
in the morning. The one. therefore,
which incubated during the day fed at
night, and his or her place was taken
by another which had been feeding
during the day. Or, as Peter put it:
II do t'ink, sir. dat when de lady flly-
mingo leave de nest, den de genie
man fllymingo take her place. sir; yes,
SIR"
Morning and evening, then, there
was much activity in the rookery. Sim
gle birds. or files of as many as fifty,
were almost constantly arriving and
departing, coming from and radiating
to every point Of the compass.
Flamingos in fight resemble no
other bird known to me. With legs
and neck fully outstretched, and the
comparatively small wings set half
way between bill and toes, they look
as If they might fly backward or for
ward with equal ease. They progress
more rapidly than a heron, and, when
hurried, fly with singular serpentine
motion Of the neck and body, as II
they were crawling in the air.-Cen-

Is LIFE WORTH LIVING.

10 life worth living? How can you
Look mp into yea skies Of blue
In heavens sunshine smile and bask.
And such q question dare to ask7
At blossom time, how can you hear
Blithe messengers with notes, high, clear.
From branch and bough proclaim His
might,
Without thrill Of glad delight?
How can you know the gentle press
On cheek and brow of winds caress,
And not within your bosom feel
An earnestness, a new born zeal1
II life worth living? How can you
Gaze lovingly in eyes go true,
And not within their depths behold
The light that blends each hour with
gold2
How can You, the ones who wear
the crown of motherhood, bright, fair.
Be-Query thus, when 'gainst your breast
Two little warm, red lips are pressed1

cried, joyously. II am only happy,
happy. And was sometimes afraid I
was never going to be happy again.
But. Of course. If you have travelled
far, will leave you alone until you
send for me. You have not kissed
me, Henry" she said, reproachfully.
He looked hastily at the girl. Her
sweet eyes were dim with tears. She
hurriedly bent her head. He stopped
and touched his lips to the pallid
cheek Of the elder woman. She flushed
at the touch. She smiled-gladly, ex-
ultantly, and without further protesta-
ton went away.
When the girl returned she closed
the door behind her. She struck a
match and lighted the fire laid ready
in the crate for just such a rainy af-
ternoon as this and pointed to a chair.
Il have looked again." she said, "at
the picture in the room of my Door
aunt. You are very like her lover of
many years ago. He was a naval Of
ficer and went away on his last voy-
afe before his marriage. When she
heard that his ship, with all hands on
board, had been lost, her mind gave
way. And when Henry Allison, who
had been supposed dead. returned-a
rescued survivor-she did not recog-
nize him. Why-what is it,"
Godfrey had risen excitedly to his
feet.
Henry Allison was my mothers
brother. That accounts for my re-
semblance. He has been dead many
years.
Eyes, know. You have noticed how
frail Aunt Alice ISL Your coming has
made her so content. What was thatY'
She had risen. "Quick, Rosap to the
maid. who had burst into the room.
Aunt Alice has tainted, you say? Send
Tom for the doctor. These fainting fits
are serious with her"
She ran from the room and up the
stairs. Barrett hesitated and followed
her. A sobbing cry came to him as
he reached the landing. He needed
no explanation of its cause when he
stood in the doorway. The woman
seated near the window, an old photo
graph clasped in her stifrening fingers,
would never more look and long and
listen for the step and the voice that
might not come.
But Godfrey Barrett returned to the
scene Of his strange adventure again
and yet again. Nor could Bertha Orais
