Thought for Today.

Most people probably know
OF Socrates prayer. We reprint
1t because it can be read many
times with profit and delight. He
and Phaedrus had been sitting on
the banks of Ilisus for two hours
taking on life's themes and, when
about to depart. Socrates uttered
this prayer to the deities who
guarded the charming spot where
they had been resting: "Oh. be-
loved Pan and all ye gods whose
dwelling is in this place, grant me
to be beautiful in soul, and that |
possess all outward things to be
at peace with them within. Teach
me to think wisdom is the only
riches. And give me so much
wealth and so much only, as a
good and holy man could manage
or enjoy. Phaedrus. want we any,
thing more? For my prayer is
finished" And Phaedrus says:
Pray that tie even as yourself,
tor the blessings of friends are
common" Could there be any,
thing more beautiful than thisY
How matter of fact this devotion
soundsl How clear and strong
the faith! After this "wisest of
men" had prayed for only so
much wealth as good and holy
man could manage" he turns, in a
familiar way. to Phaedrus and
asks. want we anything moref"
There is a sincerity and simplicity
about this prayer that is inspiring.

ing against Ruef, on one of which he
will be placed on trial as soon as the
state can make its arrangements to that
end. In view of this fact the board of
supervisors today appropriated $4,000
for the continuance Of the graft prose
cutions.
Resuming their deliberations yester-
day morning, the jury was called into
court at 1l;45 O'Clock by Judge Doc
ing, but asked the court for more time.
The request was granted and they re-
tired.
When 4 clock arrived the bailiff or
dered the courtroom cleared, as Judge
Dooling had decided to send for the
jury in a short time, and there was
desire to avoid any demonstration on
the part of the spectators. As a result
attorneys directly interested and the
of the press were about the
only ones in attendance when the jurors
filed in and took their places in the box.
Foreman Penny arose, and in response
to the question of Judge Dooling said
it was impossible for the jury to agree.
Each juror was then questioned by
Judge Dooling, and all agreed that they
could not arrive at verdict. Judge
Dooling then formally discharged the
Jury.
