vCROSSING THE BAR"
ALFRED TENNYsoN.

49, seA~~ AA~sNAN 1OAfs
Sunset and evening star.
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of
the bar.
When / put out 10 sea.
Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark.
And may there be no sadness OF
farewell
When I embark
But such a tide as moving seems
asleep.
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
For though from out our bourne Of
Time and Place.
The food may bear me far,
/ hope 10 see my Pilot face to facs
When I have crossed the bar.
In the English language there is
no more beautiful short poem than
Tennyson's Crossing the Bar" In
its sixteen lines II sums up the full
resignation of the poet. his entire
giving himself over into the hands
OF his Pilot, after his tempestuous
voyage of more than three-score and
ten years on HIS own turbulent
sea OF life. No one has ever ex-
pressed himself more beautifully as
the twilight was approaching and
no poem has brought TO the weary
traveller more rest and comfort as
he was passing close TO the great
beyond.
Crossing the Bar" was published
at the end OF the volume OF Tenny-
sons poems entitled "Demeter and
other Poems" in 1889. A few days
before the death of the much-be-
loved English poet he said TO his
son: Mind you put Crossing the
Bar at the end Of all the editions OF
my poems"
This benediction, we are informed
by HalIam Tennyson. the son OF the
poet and his biographer. was writ

of the civil war, was en- organization OF
which any country would have reason to
be proud.
All of these movements taught and

conceive and establish the international
society Our civil war was In progress

Much credit is due Clara Barton. The
story OF her long fight to have the Red

government Miss Barton has told, and
told well, In her The Red Cross in

ever revere and love her for the honor

is hers beyond dispute. The subject had
been presented to our government by

land and again by DIR. Bellows, the head
OF the sanitary commission. without

Then Miss Barton took the matter up.
and though she suffered rebuff after
rebuff, ultimately brought IL to a sue
cessful conclusion.
Clara Barton is stin living. older by
seven years than her colleague. Henri
Dunant. who has so recently laid down
his work for humanity. and though one
hears but little OF her In these days,
she is still at work. though not for the
Red Cross. for she surrendered the man,
agement OF this her favorite child into
younger hands several years ago-its
management, but not her interest in IT,
for no matter whose head directs its for
tunes, whose hands work In It's interest,
It is to Clara Barton that IT'S existence
III America is due. and though this may
be for time forgotten. il will be recalled
and remembered as long as the Red
Cross shall exist. Like NJ. Dunant, Miss
Barton is content to live in retirement.

Dunant was thirty-One years old at this
time and in the ffty-one years he lived
after this experience he saw the great
project grow beyond even the limits he
had set for a.
Il must have been a never ending salts
faction in his old age for this humani-
tartan. this lover of his fellow-men to
realize that this child of his brain had
grown TO such stupendous proportions
and that all the civilized nations in the
world and some that we are prone to
look upon as only partly civilized, no
matter how they might war together at
other times, were united under the ban
neT OF the Red Cross. the banner which
led Constantine to victory. under which
Clovis fought and which the crusaders
followed in ten holy wars in a common
brotherhood. Once this banner was the
signal fer slaughter and carnage. II Is

own peculiar needs and possibilities.
and therefore must be studied by it.
self.
But to clear out a city, relieve its
congestion, the plan of our first great
best by authorities the world over. To
treat the heart of the town as the hub
of wheel, to open up broad diagonal
thoroughfares dixie the spokes of a
wheeD straight out in all directions to
the regions where the people dwell
this is the idea in the rough, to be
varied according to need. This darial
scheme has already been adopted in
part of the many big cities OF Europe.
And a study of the plans recently put
upon paper for score of American
cities will show an almost universal
agreement that these radial thorough
fares must be ploughed out here.
The Transportation Question.
The city of the future will have no
elevators. no unsightly train yards,
no trolley lines, no long lines of clat-
tering trucks and drays. It's people,
and its freight as we'll, will be trans
ported underground. The ground be-
meath the city will be honeycombed
with subways, one, two. three tiers
deep.
THE railroads from outside will
come underground, will connect at
their terminals with the local sub
ways, and their passengers and freight
will thus be taken to their destinations
or transferred to other terminals or
docks, without crowding the surface
streets above.
This subway system will not only
absorb the railroad traffic: it will al
SO give swift and easy egress in the
rush hours at night to those who work
in the heart of the city-feeding into
the great radial subways which will
run outward by the shortest routes
described. The population will then
naturally flow outward to those SUI
burban zones where the city's future
millions are to live.
And in these outer regions of homes
the builders of our cities will have at
! last free hand No remolding, nc
patchwork here to make the best OF
a job started wrong. They will be able
to take a fresh start, to plan before
| the growth begins. There will be
careful regulations, as there are in the
cities of Europe today to keep the real
estate speculator within proper bounds
to prevent the erection Of block upon
block of crowded, sunless tenements
| to keep the mills and factories to dis
! tricts of their own. There will be am
! pie provision for parks, Fairgrounds
! water fronts. There will be broad
connecting boulevards, radial avenues
graceful curves-the old GridiroI
dreariness forever left behind.

said before that the most OF the criti-

that he has really tried to work out

can effect a tariff that will suit every
one. People on one side or the other
will have some fault to find.
Look at the way President Cleve-
land failed in trying to please the
country Then President Mckinley
was killed before he had time to take
hold of the subject. Theodore Roose-
yelt avoided it and that has had a
great deal to do with his popularity
But Will has tried to give the country
tariff and he has to stand, of course,
great deal OF criticism"
