Q Thou Who art the lie Of all
That live IN thls Thy universe;
The Architect Of its far plan
The Master Builder Of its vast
And glouoIs star-streHu armament!
We only know that Thou ant good,
And wise TO rule Thy wide domain;
With might to SWING the crc-lng spheres
Along their ways. The comet comes
And disappears il outer gloom
Thy messenger distant realms
Beyond our ken. Art Thou too great
Too busy with the care Of worlds
TO heed call and come to cur
RELIEF, as some fond mother hastes
To help her troubled child? We know
Not; yet when betides, whence comes
The answering message to our cry?
And IN JOY, to whom goes out
Our thankfulness? And would we rise
Forgiveness waits by night and day,
In crowded fame and Wilderness
On hearts repentant for the sins
That mar the world We would ind Thee
And render praise and service due;
Yet not like trembling slaves yet
As thrifty worshipers for gain
III that far land of jasper towers
And streets of gold and mansions bright.
We seek and pray for than this
The homage of the contrjte heart
A heart that feels the primal tide
OF life that sways the universe
To betterment and righteousness.
And fareth forth to share it's wealth
AS slumbering waters wake to feel
The call Of passing planet fair
And follow her around the world;
So may spirits hear Thy
And follow Thee throughout the world,
With hands outstretched those who stand
With hands outstretched for help and those
Who blindly grope mid bypaths dim,
Not knowing they have lost the way;
And hand in hand with them meet
The Joy and stress of this brief life,
And hand in hand to face the sleep
That call death, to which alone
Thou mayest glad awakening bring.

Seattle Has Big Fire.

SEATTLE, June n.-Fire that broke
out on the northern water front during
q hurricane last night was carried by
the wind to a district to the eastward
thickly covered by wooden buildings
and in short time 20 acres were
ablaze, causing a loss of $1,000. 900
and driving 500 people homeless into
the streets.
The fire, starting at Railroad avenue
and Battery streets, destroyed all the
buildings on six city blocks. and pick.
ed out wooden house here and there
in the surrounding districts not entire
ly fire.swept. When the flames were at
their height, burning brands set fire to
houses several blocks from the main
fire.
Alarming reports of lose of life were
circulated among the crowds outside
the fire limits, 1t being considered i'm.
possible that all Of the occupants o1
the fimsy lodging houses that burned
like paper could have escaped. So fsr
as can be learned, however, there we're
no fatalities.

gress enacted: "That the flag of 13
United States be l3 stripes, alternate

NEW YORK, June 1l.-Charles r.
Heike, secretary of the American Sugar
& Refining company, the sugar trust,
who was convicted by a jury yester-
day on single charge of conspiracy
to defraud the government of customs

Pray's Grow Reservation Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE house
committee on Indian affairs, having
under consideration the senate bill
opening the Crow reservation to set
Element, has rejected the senate bill
and favorably reported Pray's bill,
introduced at the beginning of the
session. 1t is similar to the original
Dixon bill, which be withdrew in order
to suit the wishes of the Crow Indian
deleg cation and the interior depart
ment. After the passage of the bill in
the senate the deleg alton and the de-.
partment apparently changed their
views radically and the house COM
mittee was unable to get report from
the department on the bill. This fin.
ally led to acceptance by the commit.
tee of the Pray bill, which provides
for opening under conditions usual in
the opening of other reserv ations.
