Will Wear Senatorial Toga
ifItis Given Him.

Below is what Senator Blackburn
said in Louisville Monday:
Never again will be a candidate
for Office, but it is the duty of every
citizen to do the bidding Of bis party
and Of the people. and if the senate
rial toga was again placed on my
shoulders would wear it. am in
no sense a candidate, nor do / ex-
pect to go to Frankfort during the
Senatorial contest. 1t would be a
calamity to elect Beckham Senator,
and / would rather see the State
without representation

From house-tops. rose the murrnur
! Of num'rous voices there;
From streets, the din Of traffic,
Of tradesmen worn by care.
A sudden hush. sudden quaking, i
A wonder seized the thrcngl -
A light they saw and, think.
They heard echoes of song.
Wss it confiagration?
They knew not what it meant.
Was 1t a camp fires cleaning?
To them it was not sent.
To humble herdsmen, watching,
In fields near Bethlehem,
Their goodly fiocks from providers,
The message did descend.
A light there shone about them;
An angel spoke to men,
The Christ, in David's city -
Is born-in Bethlehem"
An angel choir, in praises,
The sweet refrain did lend,
To God in Heav'n glory,
On earth good will to men,"
But would you, friend, believe me?
There was in all the inn,
! (Tbo' Gods own son the child WASP
No room, no place for Him!
The virgin mother placed
Her Christ-child 'mong the hay;
A manger was his cradle
AS Luke to us doth say.
In far-off landslide magi
His star did gladly see,
Aud God by it did lead them
To Christ to bend the knee.
A helpless babe as human,
Thus God to earth came down.
And may the song of Christ's pow'r
From shore to shore, resound.

CANAL ZONE A GARDEN.
Convicts Employed in Building Roads
and Improving Landscape.

Washington, June 30.--After trial
Of II weeks the employment Of convicts
and local prisoners in building high
ways in the canal zone, has passed the
experimental stage. according to the
current issue OF the Canal Record,
which has Just reached Washington.
The special committee on the employ
mont of prisoners which expired last
February, had three objects In view:
The Improvement Of the prisoners con-
dition; the opening UP Of the fertile
valleys Of the canal zone and the re-
endorsement Of the government for the
expense of maintaining its penal sys-
tenn.
This ie said to be the first systematic
effort made TO develop the isthmus of
Panama by building roads. The idea
Is that Panama can be made as gard
en-like as Hawaii an by the same
means-prison labor.
The division OF Municipal Engineer
ing credits the department of Civil Ad-
ministraton with so cents gold a day
for each prisoner employed which more
than pays the keep Of the prisoners.

ANY TOYS FOR THE ORPHANS?
A Tricycle. and Wagon Are the Par
ticular Needs Out There.

There Is great need at the New Ha-
ven orphan asylum Of toys, and
games of any description, for the
amusement Of the children during the
coming vacation season. A tricycle.
or wagon would be an infinite source
of enjoyment to the little people, and
IL there should be anybody who has
either one Of them not in present use,
1t would be great comfort to both
the children and those who have them
In charge, II word could be sent to
the asylum, or IL convenient the
things can be sent there direct. Any
playthings are acceptable and no mat
ter how worn they are to their present
owners, the little folks out Elm street
would be perfectly delighted with
them.
Sort over your stock, boys and girls,
perhaps you will feel like sparing
some Of your good ones, even some OF
the best. 1t would be such q deed Of

Particularly did $ h e stress the work she might do to- ward placing Arkansas on the dry list. Let us heed her advice
 Then followed the memorial service for dear Miss En- which was sweet and tender. Several paid beautiful tributes to her life as dutiful daughter. faithful teacher and true good woman. We'll miss her help in the White Ribbon ranks, for she was always faithful to lend a hand.

They were all calculated to move us on to victory, and no doubt some [altering heart was strengthened.
