with such self forgotten gentle
ness, that the humblest home is
made beautiful to the eyes of
angels, though we may fail to see
1t, alas, until the chair is vacant,
and the hand which kept in mo-
tion all this domestic machinery is
powerless and cold.
All day the busy feet have trod
the garden paths; all day the mer-
ry voice has echoed through the
rooms; but now, when twilight is
deepening into night, and the
lamps of heaven are being lighted,
the noisy feet grow still, the child
ish voice is hushed to the low
breathing of the evening prayer,
and as the brown head sinks wear
lily to rest upon its pillow the red
lips murmur family, $50 tired"
Ah, tired one, oftimes thy feet
will falter and grow weary ere they
reach the prime of manhood; and
to thee will come hours when not
as now the innocent sleep of child
hood will bring thee rest.
Often from other lips than child
ish ones has escaped a sigh, the
burden of which has been, $50
tired!" Eagerly we toll for an inde-
pendence which some day in the
tar-otf future is to bring us rest;
but as night after night we lay our
weary heads upon our pillows, we
are still looking forward, still un.
satisfied; and thus it will ever be
with US till the Master calls. Some.
times ambition is the guiding-star
Turing us onward to the temple of
fame. But the path is thorny
one; the footsteps falter; the brain
brain grows dizzy; and from the
heart goes forth the cry,"So tired"
Yet temptingly siren voice whis-
pers OF glory, and of rest, and again
the feet press forward, till the goal
is reached. But alas! for the rest
which ambition brings. Too often
with the cup of glory is mingled
the poison of envy, and again is
heard the bitter cry: $50 tired!"
It's thus we all weary. And yet
we would not fold our hands ia
idleness, because, perchance, we
may sometimes grow "iaint with
the burden and heat of the day."

the climate is delightful, and from

summer.

supporting population of one hundred
million people. 1t is doubtful If on the
face Of the earth today an area so large
as that of the Philippine Islands can
be found which contains such vast
population together with such virgin
resources in every line of industry. So
prodigal is nature OF her gifts, and 50

Of the sunny Side" OF the Ozarks, where the
temperature rarely touches zero In winter aud the
nights in summer are always cool enough TO make

The county contains $50 square miles, 1000
acres, of which about Zoo acres arc under i'm

bottoms TO the strong limestone soils OF the ridg'
es, producing successfully wheat, GU which the

There is considerable timber Of commercial val

the planter crop of cane every year
IAN advantage rare in any part Of the
world). la Hawaii, where men are
making fortunes in sugar, the average
crop requires fifteen months to reach
maturity.
GUM CHICLE,
The extraordinary demand that has
sprung up within few years for gum
chicle has no commercial parallel in
modern times other than that furnished
by the import banana industry to the
United States from Jamaica and Cen
tral America, The consumption OF
chicle has now become SO great that
the propricty OF calling it a minor
product many well be questioned; but
notwithstanding this great consump-
tion, it is very doubtful if more than u
few hundred people of the million or
more who use it daily are aware that
it is the foundation OF all the fine chew
ing gums il the market About all
the gum raised here goes to the
United States.
IN CONCLUSION.
The Philippine Islands belong TO the
United States. If they ever change
from liability into. an assest, it will
be after they have been opened up
through the medium of highways and
railways. Tho Insular Government
has at last secured congressional action
which permits the iormer to guaran-
tee 4 per cent interest on capital act
ually expended in railway construc-
tion in the islands. This means more
for the future progress OF the Philip
pines thai can possibly be realized by
those anacquainted with conditions
here.

Tillman Is Identified

Senator Tillman tells story on him self as to how he was identified by a postofIiee money order clerk when he first arrived at the Capital city.
 After being in the city a few days he dropped in at the postoffice to cash money order.
 "Do you know anybody here who could identify youl" asked the clerk.
 "Well, no,' the senator answered. "Is that necessary I am Ben Tillman of South Carolina"
 The clerk smiled, then asked the sen ator if he didn t have some letters or papers that would make him known to the postoflice authorities.
 The senator had on a new suit that morning and had neglected to transfer his letters, but he had his pocketbook with him. Digging down in his trous CTS pocket he drew from his wallet and proceeded to search for an article of identification, but could find nothing but small photograph of himself.
 "This will do, l suppose" he said handing it to the money order clerk.
 "Why, surel That's you all right, :" remarked the man behind the counter, handing over the cash.--Roehester Her aid.

MARKET SHOWS
 SLIGHT RECOVERY
Liquidation Sontinues, but Close Shows Little Strength-However, It Is Be lieved that the Worst Is Now Over and Market Will Soon Advance.
(Bv |. N. Kinsey)

GLOBE, March 9.-Logan X Bryan of New York say: The market closed with quite a good rally from the low point in most cases, but tone is never theless still nervous and unsettled. Since the first of January the decline in some of the high priced issues has been enor- nous and steady decline in general mar ket has seriously impaired confidence of public towards list. It has been a market of liquidation purely and has been too sick to recover all at once Rallies will undoubtedly come from se- were breaks, but as yet we seen nothing to indicate buying of the right sort in the market.
 Foston of Paine, Webber & Co. says: Market continued it's downward course today and at one time there was no bId for stock. The break in Tamaraek from $l4S yesterday to $l32 today shows situation very clearly. Boston money market is in extremely bad con dition, and no money can be obtained for support of copper stocks. Low prices today will mean margin calls to- night, and we expect market will be flooded with selling orders Monday and we advise everybody to get out as early as possible.
