Weakest and Strongest.

Which is the weakest thing of all
Mine heart can ponder?
The sun, little cloud can pail
With darkness yonder?
The cloud little wind can move
Where'er it listeth?
The wind, little leaf above,
Though sere, resisteth?
What time that yellow leaf was green,
My days were gladder;
But now. whatever spring may mean.
must grow sadder.
All, me! leaf with signs can wiring
My lips asunder!
Then is mine heart the weakest thing
Itself can ponder.
Yet, Heart, when sun and cloud are pined
And drop together,
And at blast which is not wind.
The forests wither.
Thou, from the darkenins deathly curse,
To glory breakfast
The strongest of the universe
Guarding the weakest!

Many offers of steeds for Taft

SuSso VI SsSSOS IOF dTI.
Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, chief of
the bureau of insular affairs, is daily
in receipt of letters from horse own
,ers all over the country Offering de-
sirable mounts for Judge William H.
Taft, the Republican candidate for the
presidency. These letters have re-
suited from story to the effect that
Gen. Edwards has been commissioned
to purchase a steed for the candidate,
the result of which is that he has
ever since been occupied in explaining
that he is not in the market for a
horse.
The other day he received an ad.
vertisement of an enormously large
and strong steed, 81 hands high and
weighing 1900 pounds, used for exhi-
bition purposes. but which was de-.
clared to be admirably adapted for
riding by man weighing 800 pounds.
In spite of denials there is a con.
slant increase in the number of ami
mails offered. The story that he wants
to buy an enormously large horse for
the use of the candidate seems to be
travelling far beyond the power Of any
denial to overtake it.

Many Of the first that devastate
our forests every year may be traced
to this reckless and deliberate maSs

patches. remember one instance
particularly where setting fire to the
brush on a huck1eberry barren in
Northern Pennsylvania resulted in a
forest fire that swept over a 10000.
acre timber tract, doing incalculable
damage to the standing timber, and
reducing to ashes 100000 feet of
logs and lumber and 10000 cords of
tanbark, representing a money value
Of nearly s750.000. Twenty persons
were burned to death and thirty so
badly burned that seven of them died

A bucket brigade was formed and
passed up water from the creek, but
soon gave up hopeless task. There
seemed nothing to do but watch the

Bill Field was as vigorous in action
as in speech. He made a break for

flames, broke in the doors, knocked
out the sash, dropped the child from
the window to those below, and fell
out after it.

the people cheered Bill just as hard as

Thornton, stayed with him and put,
all the other fellows out. The doctor
said he might live couple of days.
On the last day he asked to see
Solomon. The merchant came to the
room and the bedside, expressing pro-

daughter.

fiercely on Solomon, and dragging him

of the county took charge of 10. He
