The Land of the Little Faces.

H0 6dUu OF SHC AtVtio dCoos
I wonder, oh, I wonder. where the little
faces go
That come and smile and stay awhile and
pass like fakes of snow
The dear. wee baby faces that the world
has never known,
But mothers hide. so tender eyed, deep In
their hearts alone!
I love to think that somewhere in the
country we call heaven
The land most fair Of anywhere will unto
them be given
A land of little faces. very little, very
fair.
And every one shall know her own and
cleave unto II there.
Oh, grant It. loving father. to the broken
hearts that plead!
Thy way Is best, yet. oh. to rest In per-
feet faith indeed!
To know that we shall find them. even
them. the wee. white dead.
At thy right hand in thy bright land, by
living waters led!

The mammals agreed to strike.
eve are tired" heard them murmur,
"Tired of working night and day
And not always hearing Thank you!
Such long hours and such poor pay!"
So they would not mend the jackets
Nor the holes In the stockings small;
No one ran to kiss the bruises
When poor Tommy caught a fall.
No one bound up wounded fingers,
No one glued the broken toys,
No one answered all the questions
or the eager little boys.
No one tied the little bonnets,
No one brushed the little curls.
No one basted dolly dresses
For the busy little girls.
No one heard their little troubles.
No one held them on her lap,
No one sewed on truant buttons.
No one hunted Johnny's cap.
And there were no bedtime stories
And no loving hands to tuck
Blankets soft round little sleepers.
For their mothers had all struck.
Oh. 30 lonesome and so dreadful
And so queer 1t all did seem!
Aren't you glad, dear little children.

Sens In Verse


This world Is like train Of cars
With God as engineer,
And we are only passengers,
Who ride away from here.
The big red sun Is the light In front,
The green moon at the rear;
The twinkling stars are signals true
TO show the track Is clear.
The years-they are the whirring wheels
That speed along the track.
And often, oh-how often-we
Have wished they would turn backi
This world is like a train Of cars
That goes away from here,
And we are only passengers
Who trust the Engineer.

An Electric Storm.

Are not you moved when all the sway OF
earth
Shakes like a thing infirm? o Cicero.
I have seen tempests when the scolding

Have rived the knotty oaks, and 1 have

The ambitious ocean swell and rage and

To be exalted with the threatning clouds.
But never till tonight. never TIL now,

Either there Is a civil strife In heaven
Or else the world. too saucy with the
gods,
Incenses them to send destruction.

to those people who have been seeing a

Plainly Japan does not sec any hostile
act in the visit of our fleet to Pacific
waters. Even if any considerable fac
ton of the Japanese people were troub-

cause for friction between the two
countries, and if the matter Of Japanese
immigration appeared likely at one time

As Compared With the Old Armada


Speaking OF the fleet Of American
bGttlcship8 now on its way to Pacific
waters as an armada" as some writ
ers appear fond of doing. is comparing
very great things with things very
small. 1t is true that the Spanish
armada Of 1JSS. to which allusion of
course is made, filled a large place
in history and was very spectacular
affair in its day. but its power as COM
pared with that of the feet under Ad-
mral Evans was the power of a crow
compared with that of an eagle. The
"invincihle armada" Of Spain which
set ont to invade and capture England
III 1883 was formidable demonstra-
ton Of naval power for that period.
though it met with complete disaster.
The armada consisted of about 100
vessels. some Of them Of great, size, but
all wooden and without any protection
against even the feeble artillery of
that day. They carried in all 243l guns
and more than 5000 soldiers. besides
the working crews. AS the soldiers
could not help work the ships they
were really in the way and much more
helpless on shipboard than modern
marines. The cannon which formed
the armament of the ships we're mere
toys compared with those Of the pres
ent day. Finally. the ships were all
sailing ships. cumbrously built. hard
to- maneuver and liable to be put out
Of action by adverse winds. Torpedo
boats and monitors were unknown at
that day.
The American fleet consists of 16
first-cl2sS battleships. eight armcred
cruisers, nine protected cruisers. six
gunboats. six torpedo boat destroyers
and three monitors The ships carry
total of 2,l34 guns. any one of which
could sink the biggest ship in the
Spanish armada with one shot from q
distance that the heaviest gun in the
Spanish fleet could not cover half the
Way. The concentrated fire of all the
ships in the Spanish fleet would not
make dent in the armored side; of
one Of the American ships. while
single broadside from the latter would
sink or disable the entire armada.
Finally. the American ships being
worked by steam and electricity are
entirely independent Of wind and
weather. After they had steamed
through the Spanish armada once.
from end to end, coming out scathless
there would be nothing left of the
armada.

Mr.. Davis indicates that his anatomy
differs from that of the normal biped

Prof. D. o. S. Lowell of Boston. a

article in one of the December maya
zines in defense of the new universal
language, Esperanto. and he succeeds in
making out very good case for il.
Certainly it is having more of sue
cess than any other of the So-caIled
universal languages which have been
launched 1t is a significant fact that
although Esperanto has been in eI-
istence fully 20 years it's growth has
come about largely within the past
three or four years. and it now boasts
of $50 societies scattered about over the
globe. There are several periodicals
devoted to the propagation of this
language. two of which are pub
lishcd in America. Professor Lowell
relates that during his visit to Europe
last summer to attend the international
conference of Esperanto enthusiasts he

people from 20 countries and speaking
