LONDON, WORLDS
 > GREATEST CITY

why the English empire with its col
 onies is so often called Great Brit ain"
 The history of London is partly the
 history of the English speaking race all over the world, for in or near this
 great city have been worked out the great questions of liberty, peace, war and religion which have gone as mes
 sengers to many places of the world.
 The strange thing about London five hundred years ago, and even today, is that the population has always been and now is out of proportion to the other cities of the surrounding coun- try. Five hundred years ago London had nearly one hundred thousa1d peo
 pie and the other towns On the island were hamlets and some of them were not even in existence and others as old had died out by the inhabitants moving away. What is the present proportion? Why, the city by the Thames now has a greater population than all Scotland, Wales and Ireland combined. Four hundred years ago a wise statesman of the time expressed the fear that if too many people crowd ed into London it would produce ''poT- erty to some and only a half living to others" and I can say that this Is the one alarming thing about the city today. The people who line up every night to get bed and warm meal meal at some charitable organ ization home, of which there are many,
 form a great army; or even hundreds
 all day long lined up to walt their turn to get loaf of bread and a
 bowl of soup, which is perhaps all they get for whole days in succession
 This, I say, has been a great problem in London for hundreds of years, and yet people are stfll flocking to the city and the reason why no one seems able to explain. There are many great things here to see and study and of them I will write in other letters, but the greatest of all sights Is the people, the surging masses walking, driving, riding each one going some where or returning, some happy, some sad there they go and such a crowd never expect to see in one place in the world. The impression made on my mind by this one great sight and
 experience will never pass away; had heard and read of London but the
 half was never told" me about it and this is why each day felt less capable of describing it. It is a wonderful fact, and as well a sign that the world is growing better, that so many people can live together and so close to each other and at the same time not com nit even more crime than charged against this the greatest city in the world. I made close inquiry on this

FOR HER SWEET SAKE
By s. E. xrsER

It was evident that the young man was deeply troubled. When the girls mother had left them alone, at last, he sat down at the piano and ran his fingers over the keys for a moment. then got up and paced nervously across the room. At last he paused in front of the girl. and. taking one of her soft, white hands tenderiy in his palm. he said:
 Lucille, have some very bad news to tell you have been informed that a mine in which had invested most of my savings has proved worthless"
 I'm so sorry. Charles" she replied. putting her hands upon his shoulders and looking tender sympathy into his handsome face; fit would have been glorious if your investment had been a profitable one. but as long as it has turned out the other way let us make the best of it and try to keep looking upon the bright side.

WORTH WHILE.
It's easy enough 10 be pleasant,
When life flows along like 8 song:
But the man worth while is the one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test Of the heart ia trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praise OF
earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent,
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice Of sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But it's only negative virtue
Until it 10 tried by ere,
Aad the life that is worth the honor OF earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad. the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds high way is numbered to-day;
They make up the item Of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in q smile
1t is these that are worth the homage Of earth,
For we find them but once in a while.
