Sugar Coated Profanity.

A lady used the expression "Gee!'
the other night. 1t had never occurred
to her that this was taking the name OF
the Lord in vain, and probably few OF
the many who indulge in su~gar-coated
profanity realize that they arc swear
ing. What is "Gee," though, but a
euphemism for "Jesus" Dear mel"
is nothing but the Latin "Deo Meo"
(my Cod. "For goodness sake is
only "for Gods sake" "For land
sake" is "for Lords sake;" "Drat it!'
is "God rot it," "Judas f. Priest" is
:"Jesus Christ" "Golly," "Gosh,"
"Gorry," ETC., are only corruptions of
"God;" Darn itr' "Dash it" "Ding
it," Blame it." ETC., are only variations
of Damn it." In short, there is prob
ably not an expression Of this sort
that cannot be traced back to an oath
for it's origin. Notwithstanding this
you will every day hear people using
them thoughtlessly who would be ter
ribly shocked by a genuine OATH

She turned her face up to him with
a smile that Clifford thought to be ire
sistible; that Miss Agnes Tenant con

in Miss Grand's position.
"It is not my fault. I was dressed an
hour before the carriage care, but
did not know you really meant to
dance it with me, and-and-I thought
you seemed to be enjoying that last
waltz pretty well. Mr.. Mohun."
Whereupon Clifford bent down oyeT
her, and said something in too low a
voice for any one but Miss Grand to
hear. Whatever it was, it set Jane
busily to work upon picking small
pieces from her bouquet, and gave
Miss Agnes Tenant q worse opinion

And perhaps the proudest, the most
golden moment in Miss Lynch's life
was this: when. leaning upon the arm
of the vicar Of Chesterford, she fol-
lowed Jane and Mohun across the en-

with all eyes, or so, at least, her mag

"Four great vices confront the United

students Of, Columbia University the
other Sunday. Then the doctor gave a
list of the "vices," to-wit:
Materialism.
Self-conceit.
Lawlessness.
Caste.
While we are not disposed to deny
that these 'vices" are more or less
rampant in the country, We are in
clined to suspect that the vice Of drink
ing alcohol visits upon the country
nearly as great q burden Of distressing
results as either "~self-conceit" or

mo CROSS. NO cRoWNr"'

I sometimes think when life seems drears
When gloom and darkness gather here,
When Hopes bright star forsakes a
skies,
And sorrow Ger my pathway lies,
It would be sweet-it would be best,
To fold my tired hands and rest;
But then, God sends an angel down.
Who whispers oft-"No Cross, \
Crown"
Last night I heard the river moan 4
With sad and melancholy tone;
I saw its waters glancing free
And dashing onward to the sea.
I would have plunged beneath its tide,
And on its friendly bosom died,
But then, God;sent the angel down,
Who whispered still-"No Cross. .
Crown!"
Then I turned from the river shore,
To seek the lonely world once more,
With: aching heart and burning head,
To battle for q crust Of bread!
But Hunger came who knew me well,
And fainting by the way / fell,
But still the angel huttered down,
And weeping, said-"No Cross,
Crown" Il.
"No. Cross, No Crown" As standir
there,
The cross TOO heavy seemed to bear;
And for the crown-I could not see
That it was ever meant for me!
The words I could not understand
Even while I clasped the angels hand;
But still he looked with pity down,
And still he said-"No Cross, No Grown!
Back to the world I turned again,
To court hfe's joys, to bc<r its pain;
But all the sweetness that it gave,
/ followed, weeping, to the grave!
And from the cold and quiet sod
I lifted my pale hands to God,
And saw the angel coming down,
And in his hands a golden crown!
did I laugh at earthly loss.
And, kneeling, lifted up the cross;
Though all that once, made life sofsweet
Slept meath the lilies at my,feettS (
A radiance from the realms of light
Flashed for a moment on my sight,
"a still, small voice" came futtering dow
The cross had. then become the crown!

THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. 70, 1906

As STATED in the Gazette of that day
Mr.. Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president
of the. National City Bank, of New
York, created a sensation yesterday In
the convention of the American Bank
ers Association, il Washington, when
he warned the delegates that a wave OF
wild stock speculation might at any time
bring on a financial panic. The effect
of Mr.. Vanderlip's words was noticeable
within a few hours on the stock ex-
changes, when prices showed declines.
Mr.. Vanderlip's warning was supple
mented by that of Secretary Shaw, who,
although drawing an optimistic picture
of present conditions, expressed the fear
that prosperity, might, end in a reaction
due to the inAexible monetary system.
All times of unusual prosperity have
been followed by period of depression
and the remarks of Messrs Vanderlip
and Shaw would indicate that they see
an approaching storm.

Another German Reverse.

Capetown, Oct l2.-News of another
serious reverse to German arms in South
west Africa reached here today. 1t
came in an official announcement which
stated that the Hottentot Chiefs MarengO
and Morris had captured the Jerusalem
Camp near Warmbad, after severe fight
ing Warmbad is strong German
base, so that the achievement of the
Hottenlots is noteworthy. Lieutenant
Surmand and six men were killed in the
fighting at Jerusalem Camp, while eight
others we're wounded. The Hottentots
suffered no loss. They captured all the
stock and stores. Several Germans were
captured, and, after being disarmed, they
were sent to General Won Trotha, the
German military commander, and carry
ing a letter from Chief MareDgo to the
general, which contained this def ::
"The HOttentOts are now in position
to take the offensive and fight to the
bitter end" Klepats, a small garrison
near Warmbad, was evacuated by the
German garrison when they heard that
Marengo was in the vicinity. They
burned all the stores and retired toward
Descondez camp. Father Holopensky
has been arrested and sent to Keetman-
sleep because OF his failure to negotiate
with Chief Marengo. The priest was
heavily menacled after taken into Gus
tody. The garrison at Nikas has been
strengthened by nine hundred men and
a battery of artillery.
