All the gold we leave behind us
When we turn to dust again,
Though our ayarice may blind us,
We have gathered quite In win;
Since we neither can direct II,
BY the winds of fortune tossed,
Nor in other words expect IL,
What we boarded We have lost.
But each mcrciful oblation,
seed of pity wisely sown---
What we give In self-ncgation,
We may safely call our own;
For the treasure freely given
Is the treasure that we hoard,
Since the angels keep In Heaven,
What Is lent unto the lord!

Mrs. WARD HAS pouBTs.


Mrs, Humphry Ward says she does
not approve Of the policy which adj
vocates agitating tin something hap
pens" nor does she approve of WOO
men claiming themselves tn the rail
ings OF prime minister's house, ring
ing bells, or going to Jail. She takes
the view that men are the proper ones
to manage the affairs of the country.
Mrs. Ward cannot be accused of not
being through her books-a staunch
upholder of women's rights in other
walks of life; and many are aston
ished at her opposition to the present
agitation. Naturally, the suffrHgettes
themselves are denouncing her for not
upholding the principles which several
of her books seem to advocate with
reference To the standing Of wome n
in the political world Mrs Ward
maintains that 1T is a mistake for wo-
men to imagine that they are sure TO
obtain political power If they keep up
the agitation sufficiently long. She
points out that the women suffragettc
movement I'm America has completely
broken down despite the most siren
uous tactics of the women vote seek
ers.

Wells also astonlshed many of his So

fashion, the status quo. There is
