THE SECRET OF THE SAINTS.

To play through life perfect part,
Unnoticed and unknown,
To seek no rest in any heart
But only Gods alone;
In little things to have no will,
To own no share in great,
To find the labor ready still,
And for the crown to wait
Upon the brow to bear no trace
OF more than common care,
To write no secret on the face
For men to read it there;
The daily cross to clasp and bless
With such familiar zeal
AS hides from all that not the less
Its daily weight you feel.
In tolls that praise will never pay.
To see your life go past,
To meet in every coming day,
Twin sisters of the last;
To hear of high, heroic things
And yield them reverence due,
Yet feel life's daily offerings
Are far more fit for you.
To WOO no subtle, soft disguise
To which self-lOve is prone,
UnnOticed in all other eyes,
Unworthy in your own,
To yield with such a happy art
That no one thinks you care,
And say to your poor, bleeding heart
How little you can bear!"
Oh, tbs a pathway hard to choose,
A burden hard to bear,
For human pride would fain refuse
The nameless trials there;
But since we know the gate is low
That leads to heavenly bliss,
What higher grace could God bestov
Than such a life as this!

The fact that Senator Clay is a

Inasmuch as the Senator is good for

could very conveniently absent him

KITTEN HALTS TRAIN
BY NAP on THE RAIL
Engineer Stops Pennsylvania Local to
Rescue Sleeping Puss.

A sleepy little kitten held up the
Perth Amboy local due in New York
at 6:10 o'clock for about five minutes
a few hundred yards south of the Eli
zabeth, n. j., station of the PennsyI-
vania Railroad.
The tracks enter Elizabeth from the
south in wide curve, and the en-
gineer, looking out of the cab, saw a
dark spot on the rail as he started to
slow up. He made it out to be a kit
ten, curled up on the rail- and he stop
ped his engine a few feet from it. The
fireman got out and picked the kitten
up. 1t was fast asleep.
Passengers, craning their necks out
of the windows, saw the fireman turn
the kitten over to a conductor, who
told the story Two women passeng-
ers made a simultaneous quest for the
animal and one offered a dollar. The
other raised her to two, and they bid
against each other until the kitten was
passed over for a S. bill, which the
conductor handed to the engineer.
The train pulled into the station
late, but when the story was told
waiting passengers cheered the en-
gineer.

a tendency has been exhibited to
save weight at the expense of strength
in their construction The fact may
not be ignored that the aeroplane mo-
tor must always be driven at its
highest speed on an unstable plat

The brothers Wright long ago re-
jected the lightest types of motor;
their announcement that they have
arranged their surfaces so as to give
the highest possible efficiency" means
that this economy will admit the use
of a heavier and more trustworthy
motor than those of their rivals. In
asmuch as 24-horse power automo-
bile has shown that it can travel TO-
600 miles without a stop, a contin-
uous flight of a thousand miles on a
Wright aeroplane does not seem un-
reasonable to expect. Indeed, the
time is ripe" The Scientific Ameri-
can declares, for some firm in this
country that has had long experience
in motor construction, to take up the
building of motors specially suited to
the aeroplane and the dirigible." That
