Leaving an eerie. unearthly glow
Where the shadowy edge of the twilight
plays.
Come in the years declining days,
Come with sob and half-shed tear:
Ye who have courage enough to ga3e,
Gather around, for the end draws near.
Age, Old Age, with his head bent low,
Mumbles and over the rosary prays.
Thinks how he watched the blossoms blow
IL When - he wandered In Juness fair ways;
But aye to some goal the traveller strays
And nothing that stirs can linger here;
Poor old dotard! The price he pays.
Gather around, for the end draws near
The years will come and the years will go
And minstrels will sing their roundelays,
And sweethearts will sigh for bliss, we
Ea know,
And poets will sigh for deathless bays;
And in and out Of the wondrous maze
Dances the ghost OF a somber Bier.
Hasten, my friends. while December

Birth Of q New Russia.

However completely the cars gov
ernment may enforce its. authority in
rebellious cities and districts, there is
q new Russia to be reckoned with. The
Old order has passed away. The proof
is found in the free speech Of the Rus
sian press. The bare fact that q st.
Petersburg daily has dared to predict
that II the revolts are crushed now
they will break out again in January or
February stronger than ever proves a
tremendous change. The only line Of
movement is forward. Free speech
must lead to freedom in all things, to
the degree that the country may be
able to assimulate and make good use
Of liberty. Cleveland Leader.

ut was in 1885 that I first saw

tin, Wash, in Success Magazine
"That was the year he established his
ranch in the Bad Lands of Dakota and
Nebraska. Had known that young
fellow was booked for the presidency
of the United States certainly would
have cultivated his acquaintance more
than I did. Il
"The most conspicuous parts Of him
then, as now, were his glasses and his
big teeth. I remember his advent
into camp and his initiation as q cow
puncher. It is always the custom to
get, for the tenderfoot to ride the
worst broncho obtainable. Roosevelt,
on getting astride the wild horse, was
mighty soon dumped of. He was
thrown time and time again. but per
sisted until he succeeded ip breaking
the animal to ride. and when he came
back to camp he let out war whoop
worthy of a true buckaroo. That ex-
perience gained for him the respect
Of the older cowboys, who looked with
naughty disdain upon q, tenderfoot.
''There were five or six young fel-
lows from New York with Roosevelt,
and we called them the dude outfit. !.
l have no doubt President Roosevelt
well remembers an incident which oc-
Cured In camp one day on the round
up. We had in our gang wild, reck-
less fellow named Bill Jones. Bill had
killed another mans dog. One Of the
New Workers said: I'd like to see.

Well, said Bill. who chanced to hear
the remark, you just play for q few
