Always Sympathetic.

Among our circles of friends there
was very warm supporter OF the hu-
mane society, who, though earnest and
sincere, sometimes bored by overzeal.
We set traps to lead her into an ad.
mission of the evil in animal nature,
but she always managed to make out
q good case for her dumb friends. One
day We felt that We at last had case
in which she could have no possible
sympathy. for the animal. 1t was q
dreadful story, published in a news
paper, Of baby who had been literally
eaten alive by q large and ferocious
cat. We gave her the clipping, and
watched with satisfaction the tears
gather in her eyes as she read. "We've
got her nowp we murmured, trium.
phantly. Finally she looked up, and
we all held our breath to listen to her
comment. She spoke in heart.broken
tones. "ThinkW she said, "just
think how hungry the poor cat must
have been"

Elizabeth's New Years Gifts.

It was during the reign Of Qneen

New Years gifts was at its zenith-in
fact, the virgin queen depended upon
her New Years presents for the re.

Hymns You Ought to Know
A CONSIDERATION HYMN.
By Frances Ridley Hayergal.



Frances Ridley Havergal (Astley. Eng.
land, Dec. IA, 1S36-Swansea, Wales,
June 3, 1879 was the most facile of the
modern hymn writer's. Her complete
poetlcal works, all of which are of a
religious character, made large volume
In connection with the Young Peoples
church organizations many of her hymns
have become exceedingly popular. The
"Consecration Hymn" is used to this
day more than any other song in the
meetings of these societies, as we'll as
being a favorite with popular church
gatherings.
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee;
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King.
Take my lips. and let them be
Filled with messages from thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not mite would withhold.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise:
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
Take my will and make it thine;
1t shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart; it is thine own!
1t shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, pour
At thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and will be,
Ever, only, all for thee.

NEXT SEASONS SHOES.
ihs Popularity Of White Leather-Some New
Fancy Finishes.
Shoe Retailer

Shoe Retailer.
White leather is displayed by several
tanners for fad for 1906. Itis known
as chrome white, pearl white, electric
pearl and other names. The average
man would probably call it a pearl
white. While tanners say they have
no fear that the popularity of white
canvas goods will cut into their trade,
yet they are putting out this white
leather to compete with canvas. Being
a new fashion, they will be quoted high
at first.
An ooze leather that will stand rougl,
wear, even on rainy days, and can be
cleaned up to look like new, is a nov
city which one firm expects to soon
place on the market. This leather is
intended both for footwear and for
clothing. 1t can be made in any shade.
The call for bright red leather has
surprised one leading tanner. Very
likely bright red shoes and slippers
will be stylish at certain summer re.
sorts. A new leather is an "Alice
blue" the shade being like that of the
gown which Mrs. Roosevelt wore at
the inaugural ball. A reseda green
and Russian green are other novelties
for the summer. Plum color is fash
ionable, but a maker of high-grade
shoes says that it is difficult to obtain.
The fad of having shoes match gowns
is growing more every day, but for the
summer OF 1906 white dresses with
white shoes will undoubtedly rule. I'm.
mense quantities OF white canvas shoes
are being made up, and most of them
will be offered at low prices, while
white leather shoes will probably be
held at high prices.
There Is some talk OF embroidered
vamps for next summer. While EN-.
broidering canvas is fairly easy, EN-.
broidering leather is a more difficult
task.
A few fancy finishes will be shown.
Russet seal will be offered both for men
and women. Pigskin snakeskin, verie-
gated and other finishes are among
the novelties that will appear. A
decided novelty will be q suede sandal
that looks more like slashed shoe.

SOME FUNNY FOLK.

With nothing much to do,
But just to exercise his mind
He taught his dog to NEW.
And when the dog had learned to NEW
So pleased he was at that
He took the bark the dog had lost
And taught it to his cat.
Both news and barks were badly done
The man himself was cracked,
And neither dog nor cat nor man
Imagined what they lacked.
But quite as funny are the men
Who 60 by one strict rule.

In college or in school.
Who artists into lawyers turn.
And natures rights refuse
By making poets of the boys
Who should be cobbling shoes.

A NEW DEAL IN POLITICS.
The History Of Parties Is Likely to Be Re-
peated.
Saturday Evening Post


Saturday Evening Post.
There is going to be some extremely
interesting politics in this country in
the next four years. Each wing of the
Democratic party has had its turn
now, and each has proved that it can
not succeed without the other. In
1896 and 1900 the radicals tried to win
without the conservative, and failed.
Ir 1901 the conservatives have failed
to win without the radicals. What
next?
American political history has shown
that when dominant party has de-
stroyed all effective organized opposi.
ton there is likely to be a general
shuttle and a new deal. So it was after
1920, when Monroe's almost unsni.
nous second election was followed by
the breakup OF the too successful JEFF
fersonian party and q contest among
four Republican candidates at the
next election. 1t was 80 after 1852
when Pierce's overpowering triumph
led to the disappearance OF the Wings
and the creation of the new Republi-
can party. The Greeley rout of 1872
brought revulsion of feeling that
gave new life to the psralyzed Democ.
racy.
To-day the signs OF political read.
justment are in the air. They are not
confined to any one party-they cover
the whole field of politics. Bryan and
Cleveland were not more incongruous
as members Of the same party in 1892
than LaFollette and Spooner are in
1904. There is great body of Repub-
licans who really belong on the Demo.
cratic side, and q smaller, but still
large, number Of Democrats who ought
to be Republicans. Party names no
longer correspond to real things. An

parties" The informant could not

that observers Of the campaign Of 1908
will not be confronted by any such
difficulty.
