NV Three AnueIs.

Three angels travel with me as I jour
ney toward the west.
Where far-off sunset mountains stand,
to guard the wales of rest;
Three angels-and L can not tell which
angel is the best.
The first that came &c share my lot,
when life was young and fair;
Was he whom men call Labor, as they
meet him everywhere.
And he filled my life with strivings,
and the whole round world with
care.
And then came Love, and all the earth
grew strangely bright and new;
And my first angel seemed more fair,
more loyal, real and true;
For Love makes Labor lighter, and
the skies more deeply blue.
Then last of all came Sorrow. an un-
asked, unwelcome guest;
And he walked along beside us, as we
journeyed TO the west;
And Love grew strangely sweet and
fair. and Labor doubly blest.
So we travelled on together, my dear
angel friends and 1,
And life took on new meanings, as the
fruitful years went by;
And 1 prayed them: larry with me till
my time shall come to die!
Thus onward through the changeful
years have we together passed.
Along that pathway leading where the
silence falls at last
Each angel proving leal and true, wher-
e'er my lot is cast.
The mountains where the sunset waits,
loom nearer in the west;
But safe my angels lead me toward the
peaceful wales of rest;
And only He which sent them knows
which angel is the best.

To See by Wire.

ITO see at a distance, as we now
hear by means of the telephone, is
the claim for the invention made by
the Anderson brothers," says a Co
penhagen letter in a Paris paper. The
patents are for IAN apparatus for the
transmission of pictures by wire,
showing color and motion" The
brothers could not obtain money in
their own country to defray the ex-
penses of preparing working models
and procuring patents, but they were
helped by a Partisan concern, which
paid $4,000 francs for all the rights
and has agreed to pay also eight per
cent on the earnings resulting from
the invention.

Petrified Petroleum,

Anton V. Hassman of Ellhart, Ind
inventor of "chemi-coal," "lava-foam, "
artificial wood" and art marble" has
added one more invention to his long
list, which he is firmly convinced is to
become of great value and prove to be
a conservator of the fuel resources OF
this and other countries. The new in
vention is called ''petrified petroleum, .
and is made from liquid petroleum. II
is claimed that it will solve the fuel and
smoke problem; that it costs less, is
cleaner than coal, has no odor, and pro-
duces three times the heat that coal
does, ignites readily, but not spontane-
ously, will not melt, is not affected by
water, does not deteriorate and burns
with a clean. bright and long flame.

Where the people are disconnected, the
country is fast approaching a precipice.
Where bitterness is biting into the souls
of men under any form of government,
then its stability and its permanency
are indeed imperiled. Nom of these
conditions that so make for the unhap-
piness of people can be remedied by
any law, whether written in the statutes
or made by judicial pronouncement. 1t
is conscience born of religion, duly
mindful of the sensibilities of men and
women, duly mindful of decency and
modesty in the enjoyment of surplus
wealth-not vulgarly exposing it to 9TH
ers, but using it with taste and refine
ment, which can prevent the untoward
consequences it otherwise invites.

snappish member named Willis. Mr..
