MUST PAY FULL
FARE

The western railroads. with head
quarters at Chicago. have issued in
sructons TO conductors that half fare
tickets to cIergymen expired on the
last Of the year. and that they viii
not be reissued for 1905. This means
the withdrawal Of half-fare rates for
one hundred thousand clergymen.
This is a bad New Years present for
the preachers Of the west. The rail
roads claim that they are compellet
to this measure by unfriendly legis-
lation and are compelled to do so to
meet the running expenses Of the
road, made necessary by the two cent

THE MILLER's DAUGHTER

I came upon a church one day,
Twas just a small affair:
And then l saw across the way
\ little churckyard there.
A few gray tombs among the trees,
\ headstone here and there
On sweet. wild flowers honey bees
Were singing everywhere.
The April sunshine through the leaves
Lay tangled in the grass:
No brighter spot for one who grieves
Fer saw an angel pass.
I entered through the little gate
And sat me down TO rest;
A bird sang out to warn IFS mate
Upon a uew-made nest.
The tOmbs stood monuments Of Death.
For Life there stood the trees.
And through it all a wiId-rose breath
Came 10 me in the breeze.
Long there I sat in reverie,
So close 10 Natures throne
Some bird-soug now made known to
me
That I was not alone
a slim. young girl passed by me now.
Nor saw me sitting there.
/ Her eyes were sad and grieved her
brow
Beneath her wind-blowu hair.
| With trembling steps she now drew
near
A mound Of recent hours,
/ And now I saw her drop a tear
Among some withered flowers.
/ I saw her kneel then humbIy there
Beside that new-made grave:
/ I heard this simple. childish prayer,
Twas innocent. but brave:
20. Holy Father. grant, I pray.
Let mother hear my prayer
/ Just as she used TO ev'ry day.
Before she went up there
Il want TO tell her how I try
To live as she taught how;
know she'll hear it bye and bye.
But let me tell her now.
And baby sister sent a kiss
For her dear mamma dear
10, pray, dear Lord. just grant me this.
Let angel mother heart
I heard no mOre-the child was faint,
I thought me she were dead;
So I approached as to a saint
And raised her curly head.
/ Such wondr0us eyes T now beheld
As ne'er had seen before.
/ So large. so bright so pure. and weIled
With dew from Heavens shore.
. Ny presence gave her some alarm
Her beauty hut increased
Her tmid eyes fit now to charm
( Gods angels from q feast.
I said TO her: Sweet child. arise
