THE LOVER.

All the love that was mine to know
l gave you over and over:
I was no mans friend of his foe
nothing at all but your lover.
Shall this thing cease when the body
of me waits for the earth to
cover?
Shall the strength of the years that
went to make this love com.
plete
Die like frail thing spent, with n
weakling hearts last beat,
Shall only serve at the last to make
green earth for your feet?
Shall the love that was like a sword
break when the sheath must
rust?
Shall it fail of its great award, shall
it fail of its ancient trust
When the empty. useless hulk of u
man goes down to the dark and
the dust?
Beloved. life is a little thing but the
love that it holds Is great,
Truer than JOY or suffering, stronger
than time or fate,
Shall only the love of the Crucified
endure while the ages wait?
Nay, then of this be sure, though I
pass from your sound ana
sight,
Love shall Increase and endure, aye,
even in deaths despite
1t shall be a hand on your hand all
day, torch for your feet at
night.

Magazine.

THE VISION-DAYS.

We dwelt within house Of pearl
In those old days of wondering joy
You were the golden wide-eyed
girl,
was the silent lonely boy.
To what far country have they passed,
Those things we dreamed, so sweet
and strange
Far sea-caught morns that might
not last,
Fresh winds Of dawning, doomed to
change?
1 wove your tresses with the wind
And filled your eyes with sunrise
gleam.
A voiceless longing made me blind
(For children dream as poets dream)
Often wish to stand once more,
Not yet made wise beside that sea
Whose silver waters wash no shore,
But islanded with phantasy-
Where all the air was living gold
Out of the far horizons haze,
Toward which the vision-ships Of old
Bore off our fading vision-days.
/ think you sometimes must go
In secret to that distant place
Where still they bloom-to-day
their glow
Was tender in your lifted face.

Scribner (Fiction number).

the case the company should be made

The wreck on the Spokane electric

and similar companies more careful in
the future. BY providing proper
trackage facilities and by block sig.

to eliminate accidents almost COM

be a collision between two trains,

been devised for making travel more

ARGENTINE TRADE NOTES.

Since 1903 Argentine flour has
practically driven out that of the
United States from southern Brazil.
Not merely is nearly all the wheat
milled in Brazil grown in Argentina,
but 74.7 per cent of Brazil's imported
flour comes from Argentina, as
against 1913 per cent from the Uni
ted States.
Eight steamers have recently been
chartered to load lumber in the Uni

methods of preparation of Argentine

of the crushed condition of the bar

A TERRIBLE WRECK.

The accident on the spokane-Coeur
d'Alene electric line Saturday was one
of the most terrible wrecks the north
west has ever suffered. In one blind
ing flash the lives Of dozen people
were snuffed out and the ground was
strewn with scores of injured. Since
Saturday the wires have carried sad
news to many parts Of the country,
for those on the train were landseek-
ers and came from all over the Unit
ed States.
AS the wreck occurred out upon a
straight open track and was caused
by a head-on collision 1t seems in
explainabIe. But some one was to
blame. It may have been the motor
man and IL so he has paid for his

seems to be little doing in the matter
of providing a better water system for
the city. Is the task too big for the
commissioners? It should not be, for
the board is composed of very able
men. But water commissioners, as
we'll as others, must be judged by
their work.

Leprosy Actually Cured.

The louisiana Leper Home may be
described as an institution which dc
stroys popular fallacies about ieprosy
l is recent reports. for example, have
shown that the grim old theory that
a leper is a hopeless incurable is UNI
true. Another instance in point is that
the immunity from the disease of the
proximity to the home has demonstca-
ted that the panic usually created by
the presence of the disease can and
should be relegated to the category Of
bygones along with the medieval red
plague and black death. The institu-
ton, moreover, is full of examples OF
the fact that a leper can keep whole
somely unimpaired the attractiveness
of the image in which he was created
ard despite the sacredness Of the writ
in which ii originated, the epithet
"unclean' hardly applies to any man,
woman or child who makes his abode
IN the Louisiana Home for an appre-
ciable length of time.
Probably one Of the sweetest mes
sages ever delivered to lepers any
where was contained in a report made
by the Home in June of this year The
message was part OF a biennial report
ito the State Assembly. Crouched in
the statistical terms characteristic of
legislative documents, it announced
practically that six lepers out Of to-

practically well and kept for OBJ
serVation five"
No explanation of these cures and
no claims for special credit in making
them We're put forth by the report.
Such modest brevity is characteristic
off the manner in which, during tho IL
years of it's existence, the home has
been quietly stripping leprosy of it's
tcrrors.
This success is due in part at least
to the impressive fact that the Louis
lana Home is one Of the few places in
The world where q leper, once his NAL
&dy is known to the public, is treated
with the consideration due a human
being. The physicians in charge do
no. claim to have done much more
than TO apply remedies recognized for
many years past as beneficial to lep-
rosy. The important new factor in
troduced at the home has been regu-
larity and favorable conditions uYlder
which to apply the old remedies.-Tech-

"Strangcly enough the natives have

their stories is that fifty years ago a
man whose boat had been caught in

gifts from them. Yet when Capt. Mix

Baldwin. head of the expedition, has
announced as the one to be followed.
Il think one might camp on one of
the ice foes in Beaufort Sea for hun
dred years and never get to the Pole"

dence that the ice in that sea is char
acteristic Of that sea only and none Of
the peculiarly blue and undulating ice

M:kkelsen came to the conclusion that
there is great eddy in the sea north

Rubbing the back won't cure backache
A iiniment may relieve, but can't cure.
Backache comes from the inside-from
the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills get inside
They cure sick kidneys.
Here is Augusta proof that this is so:
W. A. Hanks, Carpenter, living at the
corner of Pearle and Murray Streets,
Augusta, Me-. says: Il suffered from
pains in my back and across my kidney
region for a long time. The trouble was
not constant but came on by spells and
each attack seemed to be more severe
than the previous one. At times the pains
were so acute that I had the greatest
difficulty In STOPPING or ragaining an erect
position. If overexerted myself sharp
twinges would pass through my loins.
About two years ago when having a
severe attack was advised by a friend tc
give Doar's Kidney Pills trial and did
so. They acted exactly as represented
and two boxes cured the attack. I have
had one slight recurrence Of the trouble
but Doan's Kidney Pills brought me eff
fective relief. 1 gladly endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills as a superior remedy. and
