An endless song in a minor key;
OF red hills softened by violet haze
On mild southwestern winter days:
OF the red bird fitting through woods

Red as coal OF the campfire left
BY the hunter taking his onward way
Of sky-hres kindled by dying day;
OF the race of Redmen waning fast;
Like red leaves blown on an autumn
blast.
The trees that over my waters lean,
With vines o'erhuug and brier green,
All, all are mine-marked with my
sign,
Made by my shifting water-llne.
For scarcely tree but bears on high
Its wisp of driftage, bleaohed and dry;
And high on each deep-seamed trunk,
my hand
Has left yestige Of colored sand.

4 PRAYER FoR AL EMPLOYERS

(By Walter Rauschenbusch)
We invoke thy grace and wisdom,
o Lord, upon all men OF good will who
employ and control the labor of men
Amid the numberless irritations and
anxieties of their position, help them
20 keep a quiet and patient temper
and to rule firmly and wisely, withou.
llarshness and anger. Since they hold
power over the bread, the safety, and
the hopes of the workers. may they
WELD their powers justly and with
love, as older brothers and lead in
the great fellowship of labor
Suffer not the heavenly light OF
compassion for the weak and the old
to be quenched in their hearts. When
they are tempted to follow the ruth
less ways Of others, and tc sacrifice
human heaitn and life for profit. do
thou strengthen their will In the hour
Of need, and bring to naught the coun-
sells OF the heartless. May they not
sin against the ~..llst by using the
bodies and souls OF men as mere tools
to make things. for tting the human
hearts and longings OF these their
brothers. Save them from repressing
their workers into sullen submission
and helpless fear.
Raise up among us new type OF
employers who shall be makers OF mer
as well as OF goods. Give us true
captains of industry who will use their
higher ability and knowledge to lift
the workers to increasing indepen.
dence and vigor, and who will train
their helpers for the larger responsi
bilities Of the coming age. Give us
men OF faith who VIII look beyond
the strife Of the present and catch a
vision of nobler organization of our
work, when all shall still follow the
leadership of the ablest, but no longer
in fear. but by the glad will OF all,
and when none shall be master and
none shall be man. but all shall stand
side by side In strong and righteous
brotherhood 4ork.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells IN one
Of the magazines how the women of
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that m had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have rot always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that of 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing 1t. Not until
England and the United States find
the ONE helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

as 1t persists for several seconds 1t Ia
obviously of a totally different charac-

1t is much less brilliant than ordinary
lightning, and It's brightness appears
to be that of iron at the red hot"
stage.
1t is not, as some accounts might
lead one to infer, a solid missile, but
1t is always spherical and appears to
fall from a thunder cloud by it's own
gravity, sometimes rebounding after
striking the ground.-London Globe.

in Baltimore and took the next train
home. ! was pretty far gone when
stumbled out of a cab almost into the
scandalized arms of Mrs. Klopton. In
Is minutes / was in bed, with that
good woman piling on blankets and
b~listering me in unprotected places
with hot-water bottles. And in an
hour l had had a Whit Of chloroform
and DIR. Williams had set the broken
bone.
/ dropped asleep then, waking in
the late twilight to a realization that
| was at home again, without the pa
pers that meant conviction for Andy
Bronson, with a charge Of murder
hanging over my head, and with some
thing more than an impression of the
girl my best friend was in love with,
a girl moreover who was almost as
great an enigma as the crime itself.
"And I'm no hand at guessing rid
dies" / groaned half aloud. Mrs.
Klopton came over promptly and put
a cold cloth on my forehead.
"Euphemia," she said to some one
outside the door, telephone the doc
tor that he Is still rambling, but that
he has switched from green ribbons
to riddles"
There's nothing the matter with
