Comfort One Another.

By Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster
Comfort one another:
For the way IS growing dreary,
The feet are often weary,
And the heart is very sad
There is heavy burden-bearing
When It seems that none are caring,
And we half forget that ever we were
glad.
Comfort one another:
With the hand clasp close and tender,
With the sweetness love can render,
And the looks of friendly eyes;
Do not wait with grace unspoken
While life's daily bread is broken,
Gentle speech is oft like mamma from the
skies.
Comfort one another:
By the hopes of Him who sought us
In our perii-Him who bought Us,
Paving with His precious blood;
By the faith that will not alter,
Trusting strength that cannot falter,
Leaning on the One divinely good.

The Desert of Dreams.

In the kingdom of truth,
In the valley Of youth
Where the starlight of love ever
CLEANS;
Through the soft mist of hope.
Where foul fancies grope,
Lies the desolate Desert of Dreams.
There we never grow old,
Our hearts never grow cold,
And the world is more bright than ii
seems;
But ambition entombed,
And farne's blossom full bloomed,
Are forgot in the Desert of Dreams.
Far away over the hills
Ripple Fate's ftful rills,
That converge in life's sinuous
streams;
But the hurrying years
Leave the cause of tears
In the sands of the Desert of Dreams.
Nameless infinite hosts
Of weird wandering ghosts
Haunt the arid, bleak region that teens
With their blistering bones,
And their soul-stricken groans
Watt for aye from the Desert oil
Dreams.
But tonight as I drink
Loves sweet nectar, and think
OF my days of fair fancies and themes;
l would sacrifice fame
In oblivion fame
Could recross the Desert of Dreams.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. L.
The farmers in this district, which
comprises western Massachusetts
and southern New Hampshire and
Vermont, will be supplied with a
weather forecast free of charge
every day, provided they have tele-
phones in their houses. The first
service was sent out at 10 o'clock
this forenoon. Promptly at that
hour a general signal was given to
all telephones of the circuit and 80
seconds later the operator in the
central Office read the forecast in
the receiver at headquarters. The
forecasts will be sent out every day
at the same time and IT is expected
that all farmers, having telephones,
will avail themselves of that oppor-
tunity to receive the official fore

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. L.
The recent order of Postmaster
General Cortelyou defining the du-
ties of the four assistant postmas-
ters general went into effect at
noon today. 1t is considered of
great importance and will have a
tendency to consolidate the work
of the department by grouping I'M

The result will be to place under
the postmaster generals personal
supervision the direction of the pos
tai service; under the first assist
ant, the postoffice personnel and
management; under the second as
sistant, all matters relating to the
transportation of the mails; under
the third assistant, all matters of
postal finance, and under the fourth
assistant, the rural free delivery

l don't grasp the bat at the end,
because l find | can control it bet
ter and meet the ball more accur-
ately by holding the bat few inch
es from the end. Being able to
place the ball in the various out
fields helps whole lot, for the
fielders then are puzzled where to

hitters, like Roy Thomas, almost
always hit to the same field.
It's a mistake to try and slam the

CY SEYMOUR
TELLS SECRET
OF BATTING
BY "Cy" Seymour,

Champion Batter of Big Leagues
for the 1905 Season.
If l were asked to give two prin-
cipal suggestions for good batting
they would be: Know your pitch
ers and keep close tab on the posi-
ton of the fielders. l ascribe a
large portion of my showing this
year to the hit-and-run game.
would give the runner on first
base his signal for steal and then
aim to hit the ball through the
shortstop's or second baseman' S
position, according as the one or
the other left it open to cover the
bag and catch the runner.
For that very reason I rarely or
never seek to run forward past the
plate and meet the ball before the
curve breaks. By playing as far
back of the plate as possible l get
thta much more time to be sure
which infielder is going to cover
second base. A large proportion of
my base hits were made in this
way.
Then, again, am not particular
about using any special bat For
a pitcher who serves slow ones and
uses his head l use a lighter bat,
but when a pitcher relies mainly on
speed l find a heavy bat for serv.
iceable.
