Little Things.

A goodbye kiss is a little thing
With your hand on the door to 90
But it takes the venom out of the
sting
Of thoughtless word or a cruel
fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toll of the day;
And it smooths the burrows ploWed
by care,
The lines on the forehead you once
called fair
In the years that have flown
away.

kind;
love you, my DEAR" each night;
But it sends a thrill thro the heart

For Love is tender and Love is
blind,
AS we climb life's rugged height.
We starve each other for loves ca

We take, but we do not give;

But we dole the love grudgingly
less and less,
Till It's bitter and hard to live.

Humanisms.

There isn't much meat on the
bone of contention.
A successful man isn't necessari
ly a contented man.
1t costs more to get out of trouble
than it does to keep out.
The dread of ridicule is apt to
strangle originality at its birth.
But there are times when fiction
is almost as strange as the truth.
We feel sorry for some people be-
cause of the ancestors they inner
tied.
And many man attributes his
failure to his inability to start at
the top.
Occasionally a listener hears good
of himself after talking into a
phonograph.
At the time he casts his first vote
man is too young to realize that
he doesn't know it all.
Doctors and lawyers have al
least one good trait in common
They never give advice before it is
asked for.
After getting the best of a mar
in one deal, steer clear of him, fol
he will begin to sit up and take
notice.
A quarrel merely proves that one
of the parties to it hasn't any more
sense than the other.

A Prayer.

Gin the Prospect of Death)
0 Thou unknown, Almighty Cause
Of all my hope and tear!
In whose dread presence ere an hour
Perhaps | must appearl
If have wandered in those paths
Of life | ought to shun-
AS something, loudly, in my breast,
demonstrates l have done
Thou knowest that Thou hast
formed me
With passions wild and strong;
And list'ning to their witching voice
Has often led me wrong.
Where human weakness has come
short,
Or frailty slept aside,
Do Thou, All-good!- for such Thou
art
In shades of darkness hide
Where with intention | have erred,
No other plea have,
But, Thou art good; and Goodness
still
Delighteth to forgive.

A Noble Answer.

Il have lived in vain if your &C
cuSations have lost me single
friend"
These words, spoken by William
j. Bryan, in reply to the intemper-
ate attacks of the Rough Rider who
occupies the White House are the
words of a man who is big enough
to be President of the man who
by the grace of God and the votes
of the people is the next President
of the United States.
No thoughtful person, taking in
to consideration the speaker and
the one to whom these words were
addressed, can fail to realize the
nobility, the magnificence of this
reply. Besides this calm, dispas-
SiOnate declaration declaration
that sprang from the full, pure
heart of an upright man the filthy
malignity with which Theodore
Roosevelt addressed William j.
Bryan appears like repulsive devil
beside an angel of light. And
against the upright, irreproachable
and impeccable character of the
leader of the Democracy, the pois-
oned shafts of Roosevelt have avail
ed as little as the darts of Satan
against the legionS of light.
The contrast between Bryan and
Roosevelt presented by this recent
passage at arms is indeed pitiable
for Roosevelt. Even the Unborn re-
spect of the American citizen for
the position which the accidental
President occupies, cannot and
should not prevent the conviction
that the office of the chief magis-
trate of the United States has been
defiled and debased by the presence
of one who is capable of such I'M
thinking, Incorporate and wild &C
cusations as those in, which the
mock-hero of San Juan has INDUCED
Mr.. Bryan has not lived in vain
His life is an open book before the
American people His goings and
comings are known to all, and up,
on the bright armor of his politica
proves are the scars of three bat
ties but not a single stain. True tt
conviction, unwavering in his con,
fidence in his fellow men, steadfast
in the faith that he processes and
undaunted in battle, he stand;
forth champion without fear anC
without reproach. All the prestige
of the great Office that Theodore
Roosevelt so unworthily occupies
cannot avail to shake the faith il
the people in him, for he has KEEP
the faith.
Well may Bryan say to Theodore
Roosevelt:
! Il have lived in vain if your &C
cusations have lost me a singh
friend" For, taken at his WORD
and judged by his deeds, William
Bryan has not lived in vain. Kan
