Ho see Love her beauty and sweetness

Love, what is it? 1t comes on the

It laughs back to us from the bios

1t looks up from the lakes clear

1t shows itself in the vines tender

1t is felt in the baby's soft delicate

AS like velvety rose petals, they ca

1t is shown in the faithful daily care
With which a grown child combs

1t is in the heart of the youth when

For one more look at what he sees
in the eyes
OF his sweet, laughing, blue-eyed girl;
Whose heart is as pure as the rar-

Is seen in the bee as he gathers honey
light on the wing.
Call it not an "evanescent, intangi-

It is love for him she SO tenderly

All, well, for her it is, that she GER

No earnest heartfelt prayer, unan-

That the soul, whose presence, pre-

advocacy during the interview at Peter

new element into the situation, which.
though the fall Of the Goremykin cabinet
is momentarily postponed. is steadily
tending toward parliamentary govern
ment as being the only expedent which
may ward of the impending storm OF an

The inspiration for the disorders in the

PRAISE FROM THE
PRESIDENT FOR
ARMY MARKSMEN

Washington. July Tin letter TO Act
Ing Secretary Oliver. President Roose-
welt has expressed his qualification at the
remarkable progress that is being made
by the enlisted men of the army In
craftsmanship. Before the Spanish war
the American private soldier was admit
tedly the finest shot I'm the world.
The addition of the large number OF VOL
unteers had the effect OF greatly reducing
the average OF the rinemen. But since
the reorganization following the war
every effort has been made TO stimulate
interest in craftsmanship and the result
is that to-day the average Is probably as
high II not higher than II was at the be-
ginning OF the war.
The figures laid before the president that
elected his approval showed that In 1903
there were In the whole army IS expert
rifiemen. $40 sharpshootens and 500 marks
men, as the various grades are known
technically. In the following year these
figures had increased 10 264 expert rifle
men, 1889 sharpshooters and 24S4 marks
men. Now II is shown that last year the
record stood 500 expert rihemen, 1871
sharpshooters and 1896 marlxsmen.
Gen. oliver attributes the Improvement
in large part TO the fact that congress
has allowed an increase OF pay of 50 per
month in the case OF expert rifiemen, 50
for sharpshooters and 81 for marksmen.
