An Original Poem.

During the recent revival services in
Custer, one day was set apart for prayer.
On that day the NJ. E. church bell rang
every hour. The incident impressed
Miss Leta Graham, . school pupil about
IA years Of age, who composed the fol-
lowing Trustworthy of note. The
poem was handed us by an admiring
friend, and We trust the young lady will
pardon the CHRoNIcLE for publishing,
without her knowledge.
"ssdly the church bell tolling,
Tells the hour OF prayer;
And the people are asked to consider
And lay down their sorrows and care.
'The sins Of our lves-they are many,
And our paths-they are Oft dark and
drear;
But If we keep toIling and praying.
Tho reward we shall reap will be dear.
Then, do not forget for moment,
Our Father-who guards over all
But always obey His dear teachings:
And answer to His loving call"

world, looking In at the Hawaiian is
lands, the Philippines, into China and
japan, and back again without the
slightest shade Of doubt in the soul
of any American that the fleet would
always acquit itself well and achieve
what 1t set out to do.
This, indeed, is the great thing that
has been accomplished by the feet.
For the first time in history the Pa
cific ocean has been put into commits
sion. This is a great fact, a great
achievement, the results of which can
never be changed or lost. H~enceforth
in the worlds history the Pacific
ocean, which first came into interna-
tional prominence only with Dewey's
great victory in Manila bay and the
Japanese victories in their own wa
tiers, will loom up in historical impor-
lance as did the Mediterranean before
Columbus great cruise opened up the
Atlantic"
A better result even than this en-
viable achievement during the fleets
world cruise, perhaps, is the moral i'm
preston made upon the world at
large by the majestic appearance and
efficiency of our ships while under the
eyes Of foreign observers.

The cruise has been a practice trip
throughout, but 1t remained for the
final lap to institute the maneuvers
and tests planned. The intention was
to give the vessels the severest trials
