The Women Who Wait.

He went to the war in the morning
The roll of the drums could be
heard,
But he paused at the gate with his
mother
For kiss and comforting word.
He was full of the dreams and am
bitions
That youth is SO ready to weave,
And proud of the clank of his saber
And the chevrons of gold on his
sleeve.
He came from the war in the evening,
The meadows were sprinkled with
snow,
The drums and bugles were silent,
And the steps of the soldiers were
slow,
He was wrapped in the flag of his
country
When they laid him away in the
mold,
with the glltterlng stars OF captain
Replacing the chevrons of gold.
With the heroes who sleep on the
hillside
He lies with flag at his head,
But, blind with the years of her weep
ing,
His mother mourns for her dead.
The soldiers who fall in the battle
May feel but a moment of pain,
But the women who wait in the home.

Must dwell with the ghosts of the
slain.

Say Something Good.

Pick out the folks you like the least
and watch 'em for awhile;
They never waste kindly word, they
never waste smile,
They criticise their fellow men at
every chance they get,
They never found human just to suit
their fancy yet.
From them I guess you'd learn some
things, if they were pointed out
Some things that every one of us
should know lot about
When some one knocks brother.
pass around the loving cup
Say something good about him if you
have to make it up.
It's safe to say that every man God
made holds trace of good
That he would fain exhibit to his fel.
lows if he could;
The kindly deeds in many a soul are
alternating there,
Awaiting the encouragement of other
souls that dare
10 show the best that's in them, and
universal move
Would start the whole world running
in hopeful, helpful groove
Say something sweet to paralyse the
"knocker" on the spot
Speak kindly of his victim if you know
the man or not.

restless stirring of the guards outside
died away in his ears; he slept, and

Some time later-juSt how long he

death.)
There's grief beyond all griefs
In Erin's heart to-day,
For the best of all her chiefs
Is stricken in the fray.
The most devoted son
In all her gallant host,
Before the fight is won,
Hath fallen at his post.
To duty ever true
The simple path he trod,
And ever kept in view
His country and his God.
To Ireland his brave heart,
To God he gave his soul
He played no other part,
He sought no other goal.
And now his spirit goes
To shine before it's God,
His dust to find repose
In Erin's holy sod.
Oh, best and bravest knight
Pure soul without stain!
Shall we in Erin's fight
Behold thy like again?
Tho gone, for ever gone,
From out it's frail abode,
Thy soul shall light us on
Along the patriots road!
In Erin's saddest tale,
Renewed from age to age,
This CLEAN, that will not fail,
Relieves each darkened page.
The Nation in her need
For aid hath never cried,
But her heroic breed
In multitudes replied,
And on the stricken land
To place a nations crown.
They fought with heart and hand
And paid the forfeit down:
The forfeit of their blood,
In torrents flowing free,
A fertilising flood
For fruit of liberty!
Their memories are saved,
Through sacrifices sore,
And on our hearts engraved
Shall live for ever more.
The tyrant in his ire
Their bodies might control,
But could not quench the fire
That burned in the soul.
That muster roll OF fame,
Emblazoned beneath the Cros
Contains no grander name
Than Erin's latest loss.
The nation on whose breast
Was nurtured such son,
May be while suppressed,
But cannot be undone.

There is hope for the man who strug.

To win in the endless throng-
There is hope, say,
Though the skies be gray,
If he works with smile and song.
There is hope for the toiler weary,
Though the task and the road be

There's joy in the world,
And her flags unfurled
Will wave to the smile and the song.
What matters the ways dark and

What matters the sins and the

There is hope, l say,
To drive 'em away
If you work with smile and song!

RESULT OF LAST CONFERENCE

Philadelphia, July 1S.-As a result oi
advice received from Elihu Root, spe-
cial counsel for Mayor Weaver, it is
probable that the mayor will within a
few days institute criminal prosecution
against certain persons who are promi-
nent in municipal affairs. Mr.. Root
advises the mayor that in the face of
the refusal of District Attorney John
/ c. Bell to take the initiative in bring
ing further prosecutions the mayor
should exercise the right TO go before
q magistrate and carry the prosecutions
as far as the law will permit him This
opinion was sent to Mayor Weaver and
was the result of a conference held N
New York last Friday
The purpose of the conference was
whether the mayor should take the in
itiative in further prosecutions, the
district attorney having refused to do
SO. Mayor Weever and Judge Gordon
last week requested that the district
attorney, in drawing up indictments
against Councilman Frank H. Caven
and John w. Hill. former chief Of the
bureau of filtration. should bring the
charge of conspiracy with certain other
persons TO defraud the city. Council
man Cayen is under bail for violating
his councilmanic oath in being inter-
ested in city contracts, and former
Chief Hill is under bonds to answer
charges of forgery and Justification Of
