A PRAYER IN THE DARK.

My helpless hand and pray Thee, Lord, to lead
My ignorant steps, and help me at my need;
Far off from home, pity my hapless plight.
And through the darkness guide me on to light.

Unless Thy rising sun the darkness smite
How shall / find, who know not how to seek?

Unhelped of Thee my footsteps helpless stray
Have pity. Thou, and lead me to the Day!

THE GREAT PATTI SANG.

Father Vaughan's concert at the Albert hall,
London. resulted in collecting 1000 pounds for
moor children For this he is greatly indebted to
the generosity of Nine. Patti, who emerged from
her retirement and once more drew thousands of
music-lovers to the hall which has witnessed so
many of her triumphs. 1t is unnecessary, as it
would be out of place. to write critically of such
an occasion, but the beautiful tone-quaity OF the
medium register of Nine PATHS voice should be
recorded for it is phenomenal in singer who has
left fve-and-twenty so far behind. She sang ex-
oernts from oratorios and operas and old Italian
songs that she has rendered hundreds of times,
and concluded her selection in quite traditional
manner with Home. Sweet Home"

A SONG OF CONNAUGHT.

Ny Owen Bawn's hair is of thread gold spun;
Of gold in the shadow. of light in the sun;
All curled in cooun the bright tresses are.
They make his head radiant with beams like a
STAR

To wrap me up safe from the storm by his side;
And I'd rather face snOwdrift and winter wind
there.
Than be among daisies and sunshine elsewhere,

He spears the strong salmon in midst of the

And rocked in the tempest on stormy Tough

The Cry Of the Dreamer.

l am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded lives of men:
Heart-weary of building and spelling
And spelling and building again.
And | long for the dear old river
Where l dreamed my youth away;
For dreamer lives forever.
And, toiler dies in day.
am sick of the snowy seeming
Of a life that is half lie
Of the faces lined with scheming,
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts cndeavoring
I would go where the children play;
For dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in day.
I feel no pride. but pity.
For the burdens the rich endure
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives Of the poor;
Oh, the little hands so skillful.
And the child-mind choked with weeds,
The daughters heart grows wilful
And the fathers heart that bleeds.
No. no. From the streets rude hustle,
From the trophies of mart and stage
l would fly to the woods low rustic.
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream Away;
For dreamer lives forever,
And the toiler dies in day.

Four thousand pleasure-seekers had

RELIGIOUS FANATICS
EXCAVATE FOR STATUE

London-A dispatch form Rome
states that the inhabitants of the
village of Castelvenere, in the Prov
ince of Benevento, have been seized
with religious fanaticism. Neglectins
their work and even their food, all
the men. women and children, despite
the heat Of the sun are engaged in
.feverishly eXcavating in the hope OF
the realization of a miracle.
The collective fit of ferVor originat-
ed In 1898, when peasant named
Maccioto dreamed he say the Virgin,
who ordered him to eXcavate in n
certain locality until he found her inn
age hidden there. Massioto disobeyed
and a few days later died suddenly
The widow convinced that her hus-
bands death was a punishment by
heaven. persuaded her friends to un-
dertake the excavations which how
ever. were fruitless.
Then the virgin appeared in vision
to an old woman bidding her con-
tinue the excavations, predicting the

discovery of a spring of water. The
prediction was realized, as also a
dream that an image of the Virgin
would be unearthed. The enthusiasm
Of the villagers was unbounded. the
spot was hallowed, shrine was built,
and the miraculous image was ven
Grated throughout the province.
There has been another vision. ST.
Anthony has appeared to two women
and ordered excavations to be made
on the same spot, announcing that a
second statue Of the Virgin will be
found. That is why the entire popu-
lation of Castelvenere is working
hard day and night, singing hymns
and praying aloud.

TERRIBLE CONDITION
OF CHICAGO FAMILY

Chicago. Eight-year-old George
Schneider has never worn a pair Of
shoes in his life, according to his
statement yesterday, when he was ta-
ken from his parents and placed in a
juvenile home. For eight days, ac-
cording to the juvenile officer, George
Schneider, his wife and three chill
dren, have been living in a coal shed
without fuel or much clothing All
they have had to eat was what the
boys could pick up from garbage cans.
The baby and mother were sent to
the woman's annex, the two boys to
the juvenile home, while the father
is locked up, charged with vagrancy.
The family was evicted from base
ment room eight days ago for failure
to pay the rent. Then they moved
into the coal shed. At night they
said rats ran over their bodies and
bit the baby.

SEXES SHOULD NOT
DRINK TOGETHER

Atlanta. Ga-Hotels and restaur-
ants will be forbidden to serve near
beer and similar beverages to couples
in dining rooms II the city council ad-
opts an ordinance which Councilman
Aldine Chambers has introduced.
The councilman says that he does
not approve Of men and women drink
ing together and will do all he can to
make such a practice Illegal His
ordinance does not forbid men to drink
together In hotel and restaurant dim
ing rooms, nor does it prevent women
from doing so, but it makes the drink
ing of men with women a misde-
meanor.
Under the terms of this ordinance
II will be a violation Of the law for
a man and his wife to drink near
beer with their dinner II they are at
the same table. In fact, Councilman
Chambers declares that he can see no
excuse for the sexes to drink togeth-
er. He considers this practice de-
moralizing to good morals, he says.
More than year ago the council
adopted an ordinance which was de-
signed to put a stop to this habit
among the negroes, and 1t has proven
very effective.

Waitsburg Man Invents Fan Which
Rcclaims Lost Grain-IIc VIII Mar

No Land--Farnlers Are Taking NO
tlce.

Dayton, Wash.-The equivalent of
rich gold diggings in the stubble fields
OF the Touchet valley is what w. j..
Brockman of Watisburg has discov-
cred. He has undertaken something
new in the way of an occupation and
it Is proving a second Klondike. AL
though Mr.. Brockman owns not an
acre of farm land, this fall he will
harvest presentable crop of grain
and will incidentally enrich himself by
several hundred dollars.
1t has been a source of much COM
ment among the farmers of this local
ity that so much grain should be
wasted in the straw stacks every year.
1t remained for Mr.. Brockman to pro-
fit by the wasteful methods of the
prosperous farmer. He secured
tanning mill, a one-horse bob sled and
the permission of the nearest farmer
to work" his straw stacks. The
strange contrivance was pulled up al
ongside the first stack and the hum
of the tanning mill was heard.
Soon several sacks had been filled
with wheat and the first days work
proved a gold mine. He decided to
continue the unique practice and the
result is that Mr.. Brockman has gar
nered a considerable crop of grain
from the waste of the more fortunate.
At present prices he will probably
make several hundred dollars. He
says the cumbersome contrivance is
just the thing for getting over the
rough ground.
1t has been a custom always to
burn the strawstacks or allow stock
to feed from them during the winter.
The experiment of Mr.. Brockman,
however, may open the eyes of the
farmers to the great waste and bring
about improved methods. For some
inventor there is a bonanza awaiting
if he win perfect a machine to cut
out the waste.
