soon to be the chamber of death.

Derring found Seth watching for his

consciously or unconsciously, an art

Richard looked about the room, his
sense Of the pathos Of the life that
was passing away here deepened to a
feeling Of kinship and sympathy. The
long years Of loneliness that were
drawing to a close were his OWE

The twilight settled down upon the
room. The old man did not speak
again. He lay with ~half-closed eyes

Richard sat quietly by his side. He
did not undress or lie down. He knew
by a subtle intuition, that a guest

The Washerwoman's Song

By Eugene F. Ware uronluilA
In a very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap,
Worked a woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,
In a sort of u%ndertone,
"With a Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along,
l had heard the semi-song,
And l often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile;
But I never said a word
In regard to what l heard,
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee,
Working all day long was she,
AS her children, three or four,
Played around her on tbs floor
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long,
"With a Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's a song / do not sing,
For l scarce believe a thing
OF the stories that are told
OF the miracles of old;
But l know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief,
And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end
Just a trifIe lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be,
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
OF a Savior and a friend
Who would keep her to the end.
i have seen her rub and scrub
On the dashboard in the tub,
While the baby, sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbied in the buds;
Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in spoolss
She still humming OF her friend
Who would keep'her to the end
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their roots in human needs
AND l would not wish TO strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that songs can bring
For the woman has 4 friend
Who viii keep her TO the end.

DEMPSEY GETS LAUNCH.
Will Coach Georgetown Crews From
GRAY Bat This Week.

In order that no further time may be
lost in getting the Blue and Gray Fights
into condition for their race with the
Navy May IA. Coach Dempsey has en-
gagged the speedboat Gray Bat for use un-
til after the Georgetown coaching launch
Robert Collier is put into condition for
service. This will probably be by the end
of the present week. Along with the en-
gaging of the launch Dempsey has tight
ened up on the training rules and from
now on all oarsmen must be in bed by
1880 every evening.
1t is also expected that the present week
will see some concessions made to the
crew candidates on the part Of the uni
versity authorities. Dempsey has asked
permission for the members OF the crew
to eat at the same table and has also re-
Quested that they be permitted to have
their dinner served at noon instead Of at
6. as has been the custom in the past.
The gaining of these privileges will mean
a big boon and will aid materially in the
conditioning of the men for their first

Jeffries Going Along Nicely and
Starts at Top Speed Today.

BEN IOMON6. Cal. April 11.-More
| than 100 followers Of Dugilism made a
pilgrimage to James J. Jeffries' training
| camp yesterday, but they were disap-
pointed in more ways than one. 1t rained
and Jeffries did not box, although Sum
day had been fixed for the first day of
real boxing. Bob Armstrong. negro pu-
gilist, was scheduled to take Jeffries'
tlCws.
After the morning work of rope skip
ping, wrestling and shadow fighting, equal
to sixteen rounds of hard ring work,
Jeffries' trainers and handlers said a rest
must be taken.
Jeffries said he felt like fighting, but
he obeyed orders and sat on the porch
of his cottage with his wife and few
cronies all afternoon.
There is much discussion as to whether
Jeffries is entertaining.
After his bath yesterday morning. while
the rubbers were going over his body,
Jeffries expressed his own opinions on
this point
II know you fellows all think I've been
working too hard,' he said. But you
are wrong on that. I've been going along
nice and easy and have always stopped
before 1 felt myself getting tired. To-
morrow I'm going to start In going at
top speed. We will do q little boxing
tomorrow.
This last remark was addressed to Arm
strong, on whose shoulders will fall the
brunt of all the early boxing. Joe Choyn-
ski is expected to arrive within two
weeks to take his share.

Uffenheimer and at one time he led by
93 points. The doctor cut this down with
