COLONEL HENDERSON'S
POEM.

Several years ago the late Col. d. B.
Henderson wrote poem entitled eyes
or No?' which sumbered until the
other day, when it was read in Des
Moines at meeting held in the famous
Iowan's memory. The poem runs:
Is there mentor strong and good
That always indicates the road
Where we should 60,
That tells us with unerring voice
Which Of the words should be our choice
The Yes or No?
We have the bibles of the earth,
With all their holy power and worth,
And yet we know
The world is wild with disputation
As to the true road to salvation"-
The Yes or No.
When seeking virtues truest path
And all the purest gems she hath,
Is there no woe?
Is there no doubt in noblest mind
Who in the word from heaven would
find
The Yes or MOI
Our hearts will whisper: "This is right;
Here live and love and drink delight
Nor dream of Woe"
When reason suddenly cries out
In tones that fill the heart with doubt
And thunders: MOP
And ever thus we rise and fall,
We hope and fear and tremble all
Until we go.
Then we shall have a sweet repose,
There Is a light that melts our woes,
Lost Is the No.

renee. He had heard them just fou
hours after the actual explosion, fO
this Is the time the sound occupied O
its journey.
If Vesuvius were vigorous enough
emit a roar like Krakatoa. how grea
would be the CONSERVATION of tn
world! Such report might be hear
by King Edward, at Windsor, and b
the Gar, at Moscow. 1t would aston
ish the German Emperor and all hi
subjects. 1t would penetrate to the Sc
clusion of the Sultan at Constantine
pie. 1t would have extended to tn,
sources of the Nile, near the equator
1t would have been heard by NOLAN
medan pilgrims at Mecca. 1t would
have reached the ears Of exiles in ST.
IBERIA. No inhabitants of Persia would
have been beyond it's range, while pas.
sengers on half the liners crossing the
Atlantic would also catch the mighty
reverberation. Or, to take another
illustration, let us suppose that sim
liar earth-shaking event took place in
a central position in the United States.
Let us say, for example, that an explo-
sion occurred at Pixies Peak as
resonant as that from Krakatoa. It
would certainly startle not little the
inhabitants of Colorado far and wide.
The ears of jewellers in the neighbour
ing States would receive a consider
able shock. With lessening intensity
the sound would spread much farther
around-indeed, it might be heard all
over the United States. The sonorous
waves would roll over to the Atlantic
coast; they would be heard on the
shores of the Pacific. Florida would
not be too far to the south, nor Alaska
too remote to the north. If, indeed,
we could believe that the sound would
travel as freely over the great CONT
nent as it did across the Indian Ocean,
then we may boldly assert that every
ear in North America might listen to
the thunder from Pixies Peak, if it
rivaled Krakatoa. Can we doubt that
Krakatoa made the greatest noise that
has ever been recorded?
Among the many other incidents
connected with this explosion, l may
specially mention the wonderful sys-
tenn Of divergent ripples that started
in our atmosphere from the point at
which the eruption took place. The
initial impetus was so tremendous that
these waves spread for hundreds and
thousands of miles. They diverged, |
in fact, until they put mighty girdle |
round the earth, on a great circle of |
which Krakatoa was the pole. The at
waves, with the whole earth
now well in their grasp, advanced into
the opposite hemisphere In their
progress they had necessarily to form
contracting circles, until at
last they converged to a point in Cen
tral America, at the very opposite
point of the diameter of our earth,
5000 miles from Krakatoa. Thus the
waves completely embraced the earth.
Every part of our atmosphere had

Although Over Eighty Years Old She
HAS Started In with Great Energy
to Organize New Relief Work to
Cope with Wrecks.

Clara Barton, the famous Red Cross
leader, has just given new evidence
that she is one of the most remarkable
women the world has ever known, Feel
ing that the Red Cross work has been
placed on a permanent basis and no
longer needs her close supervision, this
untiring woman, although upward of
eighty years Of age, has lately returned
to her old home in Massachusetts, and
opened headquarters for a great new
movement to alleviate suffering, name
ly, project for organizing hospital
corps on all railroads in order that
with the aid of hospital cars speedy
succor may be brought to persons in
jured in wrecks.
The portrait here presented is of
especial interest, inasmuch as it is the
only likeness which Clara Barton has
permitted to be made in many wears.
The famous Red Cross worker has no
love for the camera, but her close per-
sonal friend, Mrs. John A. Logan, after
much persuasion finally induced her to
sit for this picture. Mrs. Logan is seen
standing by her side.

Mass, in 1880. During the Civil War
she did relief work on the battlefields
and organized the search for missing
men for which Congress appropriated
the sum of $4,000. After the close of
that conflict she went abroad and car
ried on the Red Cross activities of the
Franco-Prussian war, following which
she did heroic work at the Johnstown
flood, distributed relief in the Russian
famine in 1892, and the Armenian mas
sacre of 1896, at the request of the
President of the United States carried
relief to Cuba in 1898, and conducted
the Red Cross relief at the Galveston
flood.
