Patience.

BE patient Easy words TO speak
While plenty fills the cup Of life,
While health brings roses to the cheek
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
OF those often think OF this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is
BE patient when the suf'rer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell disease,
And longs, through torturing agonies,
Only for one short hour of ease.
BE patient! when the weary brain
Is raclSed with thoughts and 'anxion.
care,
And troubles in an endless train,
Seems almost more than it can bear.
To feel the torture Of delay,
The agony of hope deferred;
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard.
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward of fortunes kiss;
This is 10 almost conquer fate:
This is to learn what patience is.
Despair not though the clouds are dark,
And storm and danger veil the sky,
Let fate and courage guide the bark;
The storm will pass, the port is nigh
BE patient friends, the tide will turn;
Shadows will fee before the sun.
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light ms till our work is done

Take Care of Your Obligations

Willis Point Chronicle.
If it is necessary in order TO
properly carry on trade, the selling
of goods on thirty days time may
be tolerated, but there is always
the unpleasant feature connected
with it of unwittingly or unavoid-
ably selling to people who have no
regard for their obligations. Those
who buy goods on the terms
established by common usage and
customs, viz: buying on credit TO
be paid for on the FIRST of the month
following purchase, should take
good care of their obligations Ii
they are not sure they can meet
their bills on the day they are due
they owe il 10 the seller as well as
themselves TO say SO, to the end
that there may be no misunder-
standing. Business men have
scant patience with the man who
buys freely and literally during
the month and when pay day comes
calmly stands off the collector with
instructions to call again, or /
will call around and pay" and
not be heard of again till the pext
trip of the bill collector, and often
this same thing is repeated many
times. The impatience may be
concealed, but the man who is in
the habit of doing this may be sure
that his action is by no means APP
preciated and his credit grade is
correspondingly lowered. The
business man must meet his obliga-
tons when they fall due or the
sheriff becomes proprietor, but the
man about town can stand of his
account with impunity.

When My Mother Tucked Me In,

All. the quaint and curious carving
On the posts of that old bed,
There were long-beaked. queer ole
griffins
Wearing crowns upon their heads,
And they fercely looked down on me
With cold, sardonic grin;
was not afraid of grifins
When my mother tucked me in.
I remember how it stood there,
With its head-piece backward rolled,
And its broad and heavy tester
Lined with plaitings, blue and gold,
And the great old-fashioned pillows
Trimmed with ruffies, white and thin
And the cover soft and dowuy
When my mother tucked me in
What cared for dismal shadows.
Shifting up and down the floor,
OF the bleak and gruesone wind gusts
Beating gainst the close-shut door,
Or the rafting of the windows,
All the outside noise and din;
/ was safe and warm and happy
When my mother tucked me in
Sweet and soft her gentle fingers,
As they touched my sunburnt face;
Sweet to me the waited odor
That enwrapped her dainty lace;
Then a pat or two at parting,
And a good night kiss between;
All my troubles were forgotten
When my mother tucked me in.
Now the stricken years have borne me
Far away from love and home,
All no mother leans above me
In the nights that 90 and come;
But IT gives me peace and comfort,
When my heart Is sore within,
Just to lie right still and, dreaming,
Think my mother tucked me in.
Oh, the gentle, gentle breathing
To her dear hearts softer beat,
And the quiet, quiet moving
OF her soft-shod little feet
And Time, one boon I ask thee
Whatsoe'er may be my sin,
When in dying, let me see her
As she used 10 tuck me in.

HALL GAME ON THE PRESS.

Hall Game in Harper's Weekly
wish to say that nobody admires more
than l co the great work of the great
novelist known to the world as THE
Press" This novelist publishes his
novels in serial form only, and his grip
is SO intense that few of us can sit
down to breakfast before learning the
latest Developments OF his story. His
romance is the most romantic we meet
anywhere; nis pathos the most pathet-
ic, and his power the most powerful.
His originality is so startling that it
makes all forms Of invention look like
the fabrication of children at play, and
mis- versatility is SO extraordinary that
it is impossible to predict whether he
will raise his curtain tomorrow morn
ing on tragedy or farce in high life
or low life, on the land or on the sea.
He is the great world-1ovel1st, and he
gees on from century tc century, max
ing stories of surprising interest and
value. His page is always open and
IAN never be closed, and whatever MS
subject, We are compelled to read of
it. Such is the novelist called "The
Press'-the Novelist of life-and in no
country that / know is he SO faithful,
so truthful, or SO inco7ruptihle, as in
our own.

Hymns at Monte Carlo.

The London Tatler tells why no
hymn with a number less than 81 is
sung at the English church at Monte
Carlo. A member of the congregation
once used the hymn sung at a morn
ing service, No. 80, as tip, and left
the church to put the maximum on 80.
1t turned up. Gossip about his "inspira-
ton" led number Of persons the fol
lowing Sunday to play the number OF
the last hymn. Again it won. The
next Sunday the church could not ac-
commodate the crowd Of worshipers,
but their intent was frustrated, ais the
highest number on the roulet table is
S. and 81 is now the lowest number
ever given out in the church.

A FORMER RUSSIAN BLUFF.
At Berlin She SWore That She Would
Meier Consent, and Yet Consented.

At Berlin She SWore That She Would
Meier Consent, and Yet Consented.
New York Evening Post-AdditionA
declarations from ST. Petersburg that
Russia will never consent" to this,
that, and tine other, recall previous
Russian protests of the sort, upon
which new light has lately been
thrown. Russia went to the Berlin
congress in 1878 with as stout a. proc
lamation of her unyielding determine
ton. AT one point in the proceedings,
her ENJOYS fatty refused to accept
what was practically an ultimatum
from England But they shortly
climbed down, and war was averted.
How that result was brought about is
the subject of an interesting article IN
the Nineteenth Century. 1t details an
intimate conversation with the late
Lord Rowton, who was SO long DIS
raelis secretary and bosom friend,
who was made his literary executor,
and who was with him in confidential
relations at the Berlin congress.
The general fact of a momentary
a and threatening deadlock between
Russia and England at that congress
has long been public property. 1t is
the details which the ROwtOn account
brings out for the first time. That
Lord Beaconsfield had to face square
rejection of his proposals by the Rus
slams is well known. For example,
Mr.. Sicnel, in his biography of Dis
raeli, says his affairs at the Berlin
congress began to march i'll. The
Russian plenipotentiaries were making
mischief. Disraeli quietly pencilled
some requisitions on the part OF Eng
land and forwarded them. If you &C
cept these he said, peace; ii not,
war;" Still closer 10 the center did
Bismarck go in some of his accounts
of the affair. Thus to Blowitz me once
said:
Beaconsfield has the most extraordi-
nary presence of mind. He
defends his cause admirably, and last
Friday, when the negotiations were
broke off, he was ready to lead his
country courageously to war. 1t was
then that interviewed.
Just how Bismarck came to know
of the perillous situation, and now he
made his intervention effective, is the
theme of the Rowton disclosures.
Therein we read of the -four points"
which England laid down for Russia's
acceptance. The Russians at once
said that, so far as they were con-
cerned, they could not think of admit
ting them, but that they could not de-
eide an important question on their
own responsibility, and must send to
consult the car. "They did send off

Not For Him.

Mr.. and Mrs. Tiffin had been
quarrelling. After an exchange OF
words incident to such occasions each
settled into an armchair in silence.
Finally, Mrs. Tiffin extended the olive
branch by saying to her spouse:
Trying as you are at times, Mr..
Tiffin, if l had my time to go over, I'd
marry you just the same"
"You would? l wouldn't" came the
reply from the depths of the other
armchair.

Lon1on, Sept Dispatches from
Christiania represent the situation be-
tween Norway and Sweden as serious,
owing to the determined attitude OF
The Swedish commissioners. Dis
patches from Stockholm, however, are
less pessimistic and express hope that
q modus vivendi will be arranged.
Much interest has been aroused by the
presence in London during the last
few days of Fritjof Nansen, the Arctic
explorer, who in February last, was
considered to be a likely candidate
for the premiership of Norway and
who since the dissolution of the union
has been spoken of as the probable
first minister of Norway to Great
Britain. According to dispatch to
the Telegraph from Gothenburg,
Sweden, it is believed that Norway will
accept the Swedish terms and that
Sweden will agree to an arbitration
treaty.
Only Few Troops.
Christiania, Sept. -Semi-official
denial is given to a statement printed
In the Dagblad of Stockholm yester-
day, that the second to the sixth year
classes of the Norwegian CONSUMPTION
have been modified. It is said that
only a few guards of the Norwegian
army near the frontier have been
called to arms A dispatch from
Karlstad to the Aftenposten says that
a feeling of depression prevails as to
the negotiations and that the attitude
OF the Swedish commissioners regard
ing Notifications has grown stronger.
The dispatch says that it is hoped,
however, that a modus vivendi will
be reached after the signing OF a
treaty Of arbitration.

The Norwegian delegates, on pass
ing the frontier yesterday in return
ing to the Karlstad disunion confer
ence, met along the railway many re-
endorsements on their way to join the
more advanced Swedish troops. Nor
wegians believe that these move
ments are meant to have an irritating
effect upon the minds of the NorWeg-
ian negotiators. On their return to
Karlstad the representative of Nor
day were received with every mark OF
courtesy by the Swedish authorities.
