A Well Balanced Mind.

In the nature of human beings
there are many sides, The serene,
the sublime, the ridiculous, and a
mind that leans toward any one Of
these to an abnormal degrees is not
well balanced; as too much asdness
brings on chronic melancholia, while
too much jollity makes sacred things
appear to the too joyous mind in a
light that is incongruous to the real
truth of religion. A mind well bal
anced enjoys picture of life that
portrays all sides of human nature,
in its variations as they occur in
our daily lives.
That truth is stranger than hction
is not true, to the author who under
stands humanity, there is no fiction
because he writes Of human nature as
he sees it, although the incidents may
be drawn from his Imagination, the
emotion portrayed though the lncl'
dents are plain truths. Such is Sarah
Bernhardt's play, "a Woman OF
Mystery" which Miss Courtney Nor
gan will play This play does moi
only portray the sad incidents but
gives real picture of humanity go
ing from the sublime to the gayel
things in life. At the Grand, on Mon
day, November II.

TULSA HAS A REAL POET
IRISH HUMoR VERSIFIED.
DR.. T. F. DAILY Writes Humorous
Poem for Big Publication.

Everybody in Tulsa who has the
pleasure of DR.. 7, F. Days acquaint-
ance agrees that he is possessed Of
the genuine Irish humor for which his
race is known in song and story. He
is recognized by his associates a sa
humorist and toastmaster of excep-
tional force. Very few have known,
heretofore, however, that the genial
pysician had leaning to verse. The
following clever poem written by him
mad published in the Catholic Stand
and published in the Catholic Stand
lications in the world, shows that he
has an acquaintance with the muses.,
and establishes his reputation as the
Robert Burns of Oklahoma:
Cordaylia Of the Alley.
AT the corner o. the alley
Sits Cordaylia McNally,
AT the corner o. the alley where the
people come and go,
In penitent procession,
Passin' to and from confession,
In the ould church of st. Joseph, that
was builded long ago,
Oh, It's well she knows there's
many,
Has the charitable penny
More convaynient to their fingers than
on any other day.
An her tongue ii is so sooth rim
An so mastherful deludtherin'
There are mortal few whatever she'll
be letting get away.
For Oh the Irish eyes of her
They twinkle at ye so.
Ye hate to think the sighs Of her
Are part of the disguise of her,
So, fax, she has yer penny gathered
in before ye know.
There's small use in walkin'
fasther,
just to hurry in a-past her
Shure, she'll let ye 90, unnoticed wild
yer little load o. sin,
But, oh, man She has ye spotted,
An yer penny good as potted,
Fur she knows that yen be safter
comm out than goin' in.
Fur there's nothin' but good ma
ture
In the m 'anest Irish crayture,
Whin he feels the soul inside o him
is cleansed of iviry blot.
Should Cordayia then address ye,
Wild her sootherin "God bless
yein
'ris not you who will dare to Judge
If she's deservin' it or not.
For, OH the Irish eyes Of her,
They twinkle at ye so,
Yo hate to think the sighs Of her
Are a part of the disguise of her,
So, fax, she has yer penny gathered
in before We know.

minister 10 China, and Tong, the Chinese
commissioner appointed to negotiate an
agreement with Russia regarding north

Russia has the upper hand because she
holds nearly all the PRIVILEGES she con-
tends for, while demanding that China
OFFICIALLY grant them. The Chinese on
the contrary, are also determined to
Withstand all foreign encroacbments
Both parties are trying to keep the de-
tallS secret as was the case with the
Ch1nese-Japanese treaty. One bone of CON
tentlon is believed to be the mining and
other concessions which the Tartar gen
erals in Manchuria gave to Russian cor
porations. and which Russia wants the
chinese government to ratifY. The Chi
nese. however. insist that their govern
ment never sanctioned these concessions
and that therefore they are invalid.

REMONSTRANCE FILED.
Civic Federation Making an Effort to
Save Niagara Falls

Washington, April A remonstrance
against the recommendation of the
international waterways commission
regarding the diversion of the water
of Niagara river at the Falls of Mag
ara was filed with President Roose-
welt today by officers of the American
Civic association and the Merchants
association of New York. The commits
sion recommended that legislation en-
acted authorizing the diversion OF
$1,000 cubic feet OF water per second.
The remOnstrance urges that the diver
sion of that amount of water would
divert As per cent of the water going
over the American falls and would
materially diminish the beauty of the
caratact.
Although the president had ap-
proved the recommendations of tha
commission in a message TO congress,
he regarded hte remonstrance- as i'm
portant and promised his callers to
refer the subject to Secretary Taft and
to members OF the commission.
