TODAY.

We shall do so much in the years to
come,
But what have we done today?
We shall give out gold in princely sum.
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear,
We shall plant a hope in the place Of
fear,
We shall speak with words of love and
cheer,
But what have we done today?
We shall be so kind in the after while,
But what have we been today?
We shall bring each lonely life smile,
But what have we brought today?
We shall give to truth a grander birth
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls Of
earth,
But whom have we fed today? ,. g.

that he should become soldier, as so
many MacNeills and Whistlers had
been before him. Consequently Whistler
entered the Military academy at West
Point as a cadet. But he showed little
aptitude for studies beyond drawing.

not know the date of the battle Of
Buena Vista? Suppose you were to

you, a West Point man, were asked

A Thrifty Wife.

A Canadian minister had just mar
ried a couple. The registers were
signed, and nothing remained but the
giving and taking of the fee. The
bridegroom, a strapping young fellow,
asked, "How much is it?'
The parson glanced at the smiling
bride and slyly answered, Whatever
you think it's WORTH
Now, it should have been worth
good deal, for the girl was young and
pretty. II reckon it's worth about 30
cents" said the swain, holding out two
quarters.
The clergyman looked blankly at the
coins then turned to the fair one. "Ill
leave it to you, madam" he said.
'What do you think it's worth?'
What did this young and blushing
bride do? She reached out, took the
coins, handed one quarter to the min
lister and put the other into her pocket.
"a thrifty wife," said the Canadian,
with sigh, sis her husbands crown"

offering at the National Theater
This will be another valuable addition
10 the Aborn arrangements Washington

has not been given here for many years.
The excellence Of the book of this comic

contributed so many delightful works to
the field of comic oDera and musical
comedy. Like all of his works. IL is
fanciful. and the plot is quite as humor-
Gus as its many comedy complications
