THE REASON wHY-A CONFESSION.

There is a department in the America
Magazine which grows more anu more e., 4
every month. 1t is called II
Scrip" and it is maue up Oh le
srs of the magazine. Really eXtraordinal
things appear in it from time TO tllne-ie
ters that fairly strip the hearts OF II
writer's bare-as for example, the IolioWln
Confession of tramp, written III verse
the January number.
We huddled in the Mission,
For it was cold outside,
An listened to the Preacher
Tell of the Crucihed;
Without, a sleety drizzle
Cut deep each ragged form'
An so we stood the talkln
For shelter from the STORM.
They sang of God an angels
An things I stopped bel1evm
An Heav'nS eternal Joy'
When was yet boy -,
They spoke of good ana eVl
An offered savin' grace
An some showed love for mankind
& Shinin' in the face,
But some their graft was worKln
TIL same as me an you,
But most was urgin' on US
What they believed was true.
We sank, an dozed, an listened,
But only feared, us men,
The hour when, service over
We'd have to mOoch again
An walk the icy pavements'
An breast the snowstorm gray,
Till the saloons were opened
:, An, there was hints 1 Of d i:Sinner
So when they called out, sinner,
Won't you conner 1 came,
But in my face was pall0r,
And in my heart was shame
An so forgive me, Jesus,
For mockin of Thy name;
For I was cold an hungry
They gave me grub an. pea
After I kneeled there with them
An many prayers were SAID.
An so forgive me, Jesus
/ didn't mean no harm
An outside it was zero,
An inside it was warm
Yes! was cold and hungry
An oh, thou Crucifed,
Thou friend of all the lowly,
Forgive the lie lied.

A Chicago woman, Mrs. Frances M.
Wallis, who has reached the ripe age
of 81, gives this recipe for longevity:
''Don't worry; be cheerful; work hard"
1t is excellent advice. By the way,
those who follow the last section are in
the main most likely to conform to the
two preceding precepts. Idleness is Oft
en- harder work than hard work, and, as
wise old Franklin remarked, "Rust con-
sumes faster than labor wears-the used
key is always bright"

body, Charles P. Taft and Senator For

Canada has accepted President Roose-
yelt's invitation to send delegates to
the forest and water conservation con-
yention to be held in Washington in
February. This might have been ex-
pected. as Canada is vitality interested
in the conservation question, which en-
braces the maintenance of the levels OF
the Great Lakes. Canada also has vast
forests which invite the lumberman, and
she is in position to profit from the ex-
periences of the United States in re-
gard to numbering operations and the
proper way in which they should be
conducted.

DR.. c. G. Carroll of New York de-
clares that the processes of pasteuriza-
ton and so-called sterilization of milk,
as practiced for commercial purposes. do
not kill all the harmful bacteria, but
that polarization does. He has devised a
machine for polarizing milk by placing
she vessel containing it between cleo
trodes through which a current of enor-
NOUS alternating velocity is passing,
which utterly destroys all the unhealth-
full bacteria in the milk, including those
which form tactical acid, and the milk
so treated is not only rendered bacteri-
clogically pure, but is deprived of the
elements which turn it sour and will re-
main sweet for several days. DR.. Car
roll asserts that tuberculosis germs sur
vive pasteurization, but that polarization
destroys their power for harm. The milk
problem in all large cities is important
and very difficult to solve. What is
needed is a method of assuring the
wholesomeness Of the supply without so
far enhancing its price as to lift it
above the reach of the poor.

The news that the Hudson's Bay com.
pany's steamer Stork, which plies be-
tween London and the utmost fur-receiv-
ing port on the bay has been lost on that
body of water with a cargo of furs val
ued at 81, 100000, will not add strength
to the movement in favor of establishing
an export route for grain through Hud-
sons bay to the North Atlantic ocean
The fact is that navigation is dangerous
almost all the year around on Hudson's
bay, and that during the four months in
which navigation is said to tie open
there are only few weeks in which ice
does not imperil progress anywhere on
the bay.

The New York state superintendent Of
weights and measures informed the dele
gates at the recent national convention
of officials holding corresponding posi-
tions in other states that the use of
short weights in the Empire state alone
cheats the public out of $2O,OO0,OO0 a
wear. The state commissioner of Massa-
chusetts expressed the opinion that the
estimate was not too high, and that
similar robbery of the people is per-
petrated in the Old Bay state. The
time is at hand for the assembling of
legislatures. Let the situation be borne
an mind.

SUCCESS IN LIFE.
What the World Owes a Man and
What a Man Owes the World.

The supposed Indebtedness Of the
world to a man has not often been re-
duced to specific terms. but many
ure was the worlds fault, not his own,
and that the world somehow, some
where, ought to be compelled to pay
for it's callous Indifference to his per-
sonal welfare. Some men spend a
good deal Of time wondering or dis
cussing whether life is worth living.
Other men are so busy living that they
don't care to take time out for the dis
cussion of the question. 1t Is not the
workers. the men who carry forward
the worlds business, who indulge in
speculation as to the extent of the
worlds Indebtedness to themselves. 1t
Is the men who have no business but
sedulous speculation. like the endless
day dreaming of the Indian faker.
which comes out of the same door as
that by which it entered
If the man has something to sell
which is of market value the world
will buy it from him and pay him for
it. 1t is perfectly fair and straight
business transaction. A man has no
more right to expect the world to pur-
chase from him what it does not want
than he has to expect an individual
customer to purchase an unnecessary
article. No self respecting man, IN
less sheer necessity compels him, will
demand that the world shall mingle
charity with business and pay him for
something it cannot use.-Philadelphia
Ledger.

ALDEN'S NAPLES STORY.
A Glass of Capri Wine and Statue
That Nodded.

IudS NOOOSOs
The late W. L. Alden, the humorist,
was one of the most abstemious of
men-in fact, he was pretty near be-
ing a teetotaler. | don't know that l
ever saw him take wine or spirits in
all the years l knew him except a
glass of claret at the midday and even
ing meals during his last illness.
During the later years of his life he
spent the winter abroad, sometimes In
Genoa, sometimes in Naples and once,
l think, in Cairo, and usually his four
or five months residence on the shores
of the Mediterranean would not cost
him more than $50.
Once on his return from Naples l
remember his telling me this story:
Il, a brother novelist, was in Ma
pies also and asked me one night to
dine with him at one of the big hotels
on the water front just outside Ma
ples-one of those hotels along that
which the waves of the sea often
break in showers of spray thirty or
forty feet high.
After dinner we went for a walk
along the embankment. and we got
pretty we'll drenched with the spray.
Soon we reached statue, and. 10, it
nodded gravely toward u.s.
Ibid you see that statue nod? said
l.. to me.
81 certainly did, said L.
"Wcll.' said he, I'm going back to
the hotel and to bed before | get run
in. It's that COMPOUNDED Capri wine
so, ashamed of ourselves. back we
went and sneaked up to bed. But at
breakfast table next morning both of
us seemed to be amazingly fresh con-
sidering our dissipation of the night
before, and we could not understand
why we had such good appetites until
the waiter said:
Ibid the gentlemen feel last
nights slight earthquake? Pear

Beautiful Blossoms.

The White Ribboners held their
annual Flower Mission service at the
Presbyterian ichurch on Thursday
afternoon. s. The lecture room was
we'll filled with ladies. Miss Carrie
Cole, superintendent of this work
assisted Mrs. sCollins in conducting
the meeting. With Miss Bessie Ell
lott at the organ, the audience
sang Bringing in the Sheaves." al
SO Throw Out the Life Line" Mrs.
A. E. King offered prayer. For a
Scripture reading,. Mrs. Collins gave
the Blossoms of the Beatitudes.
This proved a ssweetly suggestive
theme: - Heartsease being named
for blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comforted." White
water lilies, with their golden hearts
symbols. of. faith and love. coincide
with BLESSED are the pure in
heart" Iris stands for BLESSED are
the meek" and the wondrous sweet
smelling saffron, for Blessed are
the peacemakers."
The crippled girl, Jennie Cassidy,
who founded the flower mission
work, was described by Mrs. Lyman
as one who rose above the infrmi-
ties of the..body with a magnificent
courage, creatingifor herself world
of activities to which heart and soul
and mind were given in an unstinted
S ,rvice. What the Flower Mission
should mean.to the w. C. T. u. and
community found an exponent in
Miss CorasssAdsit. Pussy Willow"
was pleasantly rendered by Miss
Grace Heimer.
Mrs. Kings treatise on 1.-The Mis-
sion of the Blossoms" showed that
while the flowers are the foundation
stone of this department, yet its
area has increased until now it gives
the necessities of life to those who
are without them and. delicacies to
the sick. 1t gives comfort and cheer
to those who mourn, and hope to
those who have wandered astray.
1t helps window boxes, garden and
the cultivation of vacant lots, with
seeds and plants. 1t aids the schools
and settlements, it urges gardening
as an employment in the institutions.
1t plants trees and vines. 1t gives
drives to invalids and outings to
those who live all the year in the
crowded city, while over and above
all it distributes the blossoms and
text cards to the weary, the way
ward and the suffering.
Mrs. Wilson recited ''The Swing
ing Sign Board" and Miss H. Hitch
cock gave reading. The president
made some very appropriate sug-
gestions for the enlargement of the
local work. Roll call responses
were also on the topic. There was
discussion on finances. a couple of
bills allowed and the meeting ad-
journed with the w. C. T. U. bene-
diction. Bouquets were then made,
and distributed to the sick and shut
in.
