A GIFT.

do not come to claim gift Of you,
Since gifts are not for friendships
tongue to ask;
But would you crown me with content
most true,
Give me the word of courage for
my task.
Give me the word Of courage, that
will stand
Close to my soul upon the battle
field;
Give me your faith to nerve my weak
ling hand;
Give me motto for my battered
shield.
Give me the truth, to lean on in the
night;
Give me the fellowship of kindred
soul;
Then stand aside, and give me room
to fight,
A fair road, unimpeded, to my
goal
I do not ask your laurel wreath and
crown,
Since these are mine to win, not
yours to give;
A bit of earth at last to lay me
down,
A fair field for my courage, while
I live
I do not ask your frankincense and
gold,
Nor claim tribute Of your boarded
praise;
Since Fate ever, at the finish, bold,
And for dead brows has still some
laggard bays.
[ do not wish grudging hand to
clasp,
Nor roses, where my feet have felt
the stone;
But leave me hand-free for my good
swords grasp;
Give me a fair field, since [ fight
alone.
And so [ do not come to claim a gift
Of frankincense, or honors, at your
hand;
But as my cross up Calvary | lift,
Throw me a signal that you under
stand.

commotion. So what was the mat
ter? Simply this-the young fellow
wanted to make his own way in the
world; he was an adept at managing
an auto; he was working for a sal
airy that was largely in excess of that
of the average salesman, more than
many young professional man could
command, and, if he dignifed his
calling by doing it well, stood as a
king among men, asking no one to
credit him for his tailor bill and
beating no one out of his board. One
kind Of labor being as honorable as
another, he stood in as honorable
position as the President who labors
with his brains, or the snob whose
father made his pile over the dry
goods counter. But, the girl-oh,
well, she happened to belong to a
daddy who had grown rich-who had
probably been to Europe and soaked
in notions Of the old world class dis
tinctions and came back with the no
ton that the wrapping up of the
past in a pile Of dollars, or the salt
ing down Of the present in a brine
of bonds made his own and only
little better than the common herd
who had not yet gotten as big a store,
or been to Yurrup and dined with

Well, the girl and the boy drove
together in the automobile, but the
boy was the hireling, and her faith
er's chauffeur, and no one thought
anything possible between them, un-
til one fine morning nature asserted
herself, and the good looking boy
and the good looking girl turned up
man and wife under the laws of the
State and the laws of God. Then the
tempest broke. The horrible details
went over the wires that the rich
Miss Bondholder had married the fell
low who ran the automobile for the
family; and Mamma Bondholder
went to bed with the smelling salts
and sent for the doctor and the law
yer, and the Governor was appealed
to, and the commotion was greater
than ever before in the house Of
Bondholder. And then did Mamma
Bondholder arise, and taking Miss
Bondholder by the hand (she who
was now Mrs. Chauffeur) did lead
her away to the pleasant fields and
sunny pastures of Yurrup to forget
the honest face of her husband, and
join the army Of the divorces, if
the courts could be prevailed upon
to grant a divorce, for the reason that
a nice looking young lady saw fit to
marry nicely behaved young fellow
who happened to be engaged in MAX
ing his own living by driving a Gas
Buggy. That s all there is to it; but
behind it all is the fact that the age
Of snobbery is upon us. The time

Maintain An Even Temperature
Through the Entire House.

Millions Of people suffer every year
from colds, sore throat, and catarrh,
simply because they lack the knowl-
edge or the gumption to have their
homes properly heated.
And yet the heating problem is very
easily solyed,if one will but give a lit
tie thought. To make the study more
interesting and profitable It may be
truly said that IL Is easier to heat a
house properly than to heat IL inn
properly; and that IL takes less time
and tinkering to maintain an even,
healthful temperature than to keep a
house full OF drafts and cold spots.

STATESMEN DON'T DRINK.
That Is They Don't Rerel In Rum as
Formerly.

Baltimore, September l7.--"Stntes-
men OF this dag do not drink intoxi-
eating liquors TO anything like the ex-
ceaslVe degree that was INDUCED In
by senators and representatives OF a
quarter Of Gentry ago" said Alr. Geo.
w Rae, OF Washington. u veteran em-
ploye Of the Capitol IA the Rennert
lobby last evening.
Twenty-Five years ago, when first
entered the service Of the House the
drinking habit was common IN both
branches OF Congress II was the
fashion then To consume much red
liquor during the course OF each days
sittings; now Il Is distinctly out of
fashion. There were open bars then
on both the Senate and House sides
Of the Capitol, but they we're done
away with some years ago. and what
liquor Is now kept IL IN the committee
rooms There Is scant stock OF this,
and as a result II is very seldom now
adays that legislator Is seen I'm a
condition where he Is unfit TO attend
to the public business. Formerly,
however, the spectacle OF an inebri-
ated solon was nothing rare
A senator from the South used 10
make an almost daily practice OF be-
coming so drunk that he would have
TO be removed from the chamber, and
! can recall a dozen representatives
who we're oftener inebriated than
sober. Some Of these went regularly
to the local hospitals to straighten up
after periods Of prolonged 'sprees,
and particularly eloquent and schol-
arly member of the House died OF al
coholism. Another who met the same
fate for the last year of his life hardly
knew how to vote when his name was
called and had TO be continually
prompted by his colleagues.
"It is unquestionably a fact that
the sobriety OF the American Con-
gress has been tremendously improv-
ed in the last two decades. What has
caused the betterment / do not pre-
tend to say. but It may be more
than a coincidence that there is the
most marked decline In drinking on
the part OF those congressman who
come rrom districts where the pro-
libition movement has made the great
est headway"

Our Trade with Jannn.

Japan has very neat balance of
trade against us. Our exports to that
country for 1908 were S3s.624 .7s1. as
compared with s41.06s,5 sos for 1907
The imports from Japan show SINH
lar movement, the figures being for
1908, S63,9lS.330, az compared with
s71,753.379 for 1907.
The imports OF tea from China con-
tsnue to decrease, while those from
Japan fairly hold their own. While
the gross shrinkage on the value OF
our tea imports for the year amounts
TO $1.S00,000 II is rather creditable to
the Japanese that their product shows
shrinkage of only 100000 while
accounting for more than 33 per cent
OF the whole import.
Japan now supplies the United
States with 60 per cent. of it's silk
imports, and while the total of these
has decreased from $73,097 ,5S1 In 1907
to $65,021 ,066 the Japanese contribu-
ton shows decline only from $4O,-
S44,S44 to $S9,3S6, ,193.--Journa Of the

Why Lightning Rods Are Pointed.

The reason lightning God has a
sharp point is because a ilne point Of
fers no resistance TO the discharge OF
electricity and In order that n eioud
may be emptied OF Il nolseIessly and
harmlessly. The degree OF reslstance
is in proportion TO the surface OF the
object, IL the rod were snrmountad
by a knob, for instance, the discharge
would be violent But many a light
ming rod has received an electrical
discharge when the people In the
building below we're calmly uncon-
scious of the fact. Noncorrosive met
al Is used for the point OF the rod, az
corrosion makes resistance. The diff
ference between a point and a ball
Is shown in diseharging a battery. The
full charge from large battery would
be received quietly on a metal point,
while a moderate charge from a small
one would explode violently on a ball.
II Is said that a full charge may be
passed harmlessly through a persons
body II received on the point Of a
needle, whereas the same charge re-
ceiyed on discharger, with a ball
