TO LITTLE CHRISTINE.

In memory Of Christine, daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. H. A. Moreland, who
died Aug. Is, 1905, aged A years, 10
months and 10 days.
Darling angel, how we miss you
Since you left us all alone
Left US with the greatest sorrow
We have ever, ever known.
Only one short year has vanished
Since we said our last goodbye,
Thinking not that twas forever
That we parted-she and |.
o, how well do we remember
Every little baby word
Spoken like a doves soft cooling,
Fen the sweetest ever heard.
o, those little golden tresses
She would curl for me to love!
All. how soon the angels claimed them
For that brilliant Court above!
How with pride she'd comb and curl
For her "Uncle George" to see.
Savior, how my heart is bleeding
None can know but | and thee.
Now, returning from my rambles,
Oh. how lonely | will be
Waan | meet the other faces
And her face to never see.
@, the pain, the throbbing heartaches
We experience every day
When we see her dolls and playthings,
When she liked the best to play
And for papa and for mamma"
What a lifetime gloom is there,
With the family chain all broken
And the little vacant chair.
| Oft we wonder in our blindness
Why our darling could not stay.
Why should she, SO young and gentle,
Be 50 quickly snatched away?
But when life's rough road is ended
And we reach the river shore,
Where we'll all be reunited
Meier to know a parting more.
When beyond the walls of jasper,
There to live for aye and aye;
We will know, then, why our darling
Could not longer with US stay.
UNCLE GEORGE.
Nettleton, Miss.

WHY THE PIPE Is TABOOED
Prohibited in Englapd's Hotels
While the Cigarette Is
Permitted.

On the one side Of a post caro- is the
picture of a huge Edinburgh hotel; on
the other this: Kindly explain if you
can why, in the smoking lounge of d
big hotel, | may smoke cigarettes at
seven a penny, but not tobacco in a
pipe at ten shillings a pound?" The
explanation is simple. says the London
Chronicle. Every publican has the
lurking desire to do a ''high-class'
trade, and he thinks that no high
class" man should smoke decent to-
bacco instead of buying cabbage leaves
or paper twists of refuse at exorbitant
prices. For this is his notion OF a
gentleman. And you will see in many
London rat-holes the admonitory
notice against the smoking of pipes.
MOI is the remedy less simple. There
is no reason why any glorifed waiter
VINO runs an lS-penny lunch in a drain
should pose as an arbiter of fashion,
and prescribe in what form his GUS
toners should consume tobacco. We
may advise our correspondent. wheth-
er he finds himself in an Edinburgh
hotel or in a London garbage den, to
ignore any such impertinence, and
take his tobacco in any form he pleases
so long as II is in a room set apart
for smoking.

THE LENGTH OF SERMONS.
No Absolute Rule to Regulate Them
Can Be Consistently
Laid Down.

1t is said that Emperor william,
shortly after his accession, ordered
that his court chaplains should never
preach longer than ten minutes; and
it is reported that the clergy generally
have followed the rule, although it
does not apply to them. The result is
short sermons in all Lutheran pulpits,
and a great revival of religionl Only
the other day Bishop Potter declared
that a sermon ought never to be more
than 20 minutes long. Differing from
both these authorities, we are in.
formed that King Edward cuts out"
the service altogether, and never ap.
pears in church until just before the
sermon, which would seem to prove
that he thinks the sermon the most
important feature of the service.
So the issue is presented, says the
Indianapolis News. In our opinion, il
we may venture to have one, no abso
lutte rule can be laid down. A sermon
of ten minutes duration by some
preachers would be a torment; while
one of 40 or even so minutes from
other preachers would be a delight.
However, as there are few men be-
longing to this latter class, perhaps
it is safe to say that the presumption
is in favor of the short m II
men are to be tortured, it is better
that the torture should be brief. And
if, as is the case, there are few great
preachers, it seems wiser to run the
risk of losing a delight prolonged, and
to adopt ayrule that will apply to the
average preacher and the average con
gregation. On the whole, the argu-
ment seems to favor the short sermon.

panion, Yorker We have given them a few minutes start of us from Moore's camp, on Kah-pee-kog lake, as Short Bill is not the noted paddler Long Bill is, and we wish to reach the first port age together.
 Those who have not experienced the pleasure of being alone with nature, this mighty nature of the north woods of the Muskoka country, with the great pines towering 100 feet and better into the air, with its granite bound lakes, whose shores have been virtually un- touched by white man, and whose wa ters teem with the gamiest of fish, it seems to me have not seen life as the Creator intended We should see it.
 Dipping into the dark waters of kah- pee-kog, I add the strength of my soft muscles to that of Long Bills hard ones, and we shoot out through the mar rows that divide pretty bay from the main lake. 'o su-irf l,sr.frf 7m .d o-

A likely-looking spot ahead causes me to drop my paddle and pick up my rod for cast. Out goes the line to the accompaniment of the singing reel, and almost before it touches the water a sizable pickerel has grabbed the en- ticing bait and is away with it.

BIG OFFER
 FOR NELSON
Sullivan's Manager Talks Warmly to the Battling Dane = Hart Answers Tommy Ryan.
Tommy Ryan.

Here is nice liberal offer for Bat ting Nelson. and it comes from the ir- repressible Al Herford of Baltimore end he talks as If he meant every word of what he has to say. The Bal, timore promoter does not take kindly to the talk of Nelson and Nolan. and this is what he had to say in Frisco:
 ''1t looks like Nelson and Nolan were doing all they could to knock the Britt-Sullivan match, and they cer- tainly deserve medals from the Great Order of Hammer Throwers. Nelson was making the same kind of howl when Britt and JabeZ White were billed to meet and declared openly that it would be no contest and that he would bet as much money as anybody wanted to cover that he would stop White in eight rounds. He even had the nerve to make that proposition when he had never seen White with the gloves on. Everyone who saw the fight tells me that it was a good cleve- fight, but of course Britt was the bet ter man. although White showed much better than was expected.
 , Now, I haven't heard any proposi lion from Nelson to stop Sullivan iE eight or ten rounds. and if he thinks he can do it. I will call the present match of and lose my forfeit to the club. ard then bet Nelson any part of .l.0O0 that he can't stop Sullivan in the time that he proposed to stop White ill.'
