TO YOUTH GROWN OLD.

What canst thou give, o Gifted, in re-
turn
For all the splendors that were
shown to thee
How oft at sunrise thou in ecstacy
Didst see the sky and autumn ma
Piles burn!
Thou canst perhaps when thou didst
learn
That God had made thee like TO
Him and free
To be thyself and give hope to be
Fit for the heights for which thy
soul didst yearn;
And now, at sunset. eyes upon the
ground,
Thou hast forgot. and know'st not
gratitude.
All, dwell upon the glory in thy
day
Its red and gold; think not upon the
mound
That shall inclose thee, lest to thee
intrude
Self-play and self-love to gloom thy
way!

tury.

Last Saturday. just at the noon

escape from being destroyed by fire.
The one Of four years ago. by a
strange coincidence. happened at the
same hour. There was no fire In the

I'd to have started In the bath room
ON the second floor from defective
wiring near where the electric met

the house was more scorched and
burned than any other
/ There was a prompt response from
the fire department, and with good
force In the water mains. some very
effective work was done and the
flames extinguished In very short
time, Most of the damage done was
BY water. but this was not enough to
even interfere with the serving OF
meals. and not one was missed on
account OF the fire.
The Park House was insured for
$1,000. and the adjuster estimated
the loss at $685.. .90-five.sevenths OF
this amount being paid by the com

CHANGES In SMALL
Army OF The POPE
PODtiff Cutting Expenses of
the Vatican

Rome, March 21-While reforms
are taking place in all European ar
mics the changes that are taking place
low in the small army of the pope are
unusually interesting.
The recent pope. from the begin
ming of his pontiicate, showed u
marked disposition to cut down all ex-
penses that he considered superfuous,
aiming especially at those which had
as their object the pomp and cere-
mony of state. He begun by suppress
ing the horses which were kept at the
vatican stables for he noble guard in
view of the improbability that the
Holy Father might some day leave his
voluntary prsion escorted by that
bodyguard, which was originally form
ed by the amalgamation of Paul VS.
Lancers, with a still older cavalry
regiment.
The Palantine Guard, a regiment of
militia formed by volunteers of the
Roman middle class, are now scarcely
seen, as the occasions on which they
should be present, such as great func-
tons in St. Peters, are so rare. The
gendarmes entrusted with the polic-
ing of the vatican, are, strange to say,
taken entirely from those who have

JOE TERRELL
TELLS HIS PURPOSE
viii Be In Senatorial Race
to the End

ATLANTA, Ga, March 21.-"I am get
ting well fast now" says Senator Jo-
seph NJ Terrell, and the only trace
OF my attack is in my leg. This
numbness is rapidly disappearing, and
n expect to be out without clutches
in a week or ten days. I could prob
ably get around now, but prefer %
axe no unnecessary chances whatever
as there is no need of my doing SO.
Tie use CT arms and hand has re-
! turned, and my general health is bet
ter than it has been in years, because
I have rested and been on strict diet.
My attack was as a bolt from the
blue sky, because l had no thought
or feeling that any such thing WIS
coming on. l know now that it re-
suited from oyerwork and the lack CT

working for weeks, fourteen and
eighteen hours a day / did not even
attend any social functions whatever
/ in Washington and had just been
/ grinding away continuously, trying 20
fit myself for the high duties of my
office. So 1 suppose I overtaXed my
strength and the collapse followed.
i am receiving constantly now
fresh assurances of hearty support IN
the Legislature. I believe l am going to
win this fight. I believe there is no
doubt about that now, and I just
want my friends throughout Georgia
to know that l am going to be as
sound and we'll as ever soon and able
to care for their interests and the in
terests of our great state at the ma
tional capital,
1T is not my intention to return to
Washington at the opening of Con-
gress on April 4th, but l will go
up the latter part of April, fit as
a fiddle for the work AS this is a
new congress it will take two or three
weeks to thoroughly organize and get
down to business. lean do no par
ticular good in Washington during
this formative period, and the rest
here at home will only serve to put
me in better condition for the long
task ahead.
Il want to report with all possible
emphasis that | am not down and
out, that I am getting we'll and strong
again, and that l am in this senatorial
race until the finish. And no TumOI
to the contrary may be given the
slightest credence unless a statement
comes direct from me-"
There is no doubt that Senator
Terrell is getting well. He looks as
clear-eyed, round-faced and healthy
skinned as in his palmiest days, witt
an exception of a natural bleach from
long remaining indoors. He talk!

: he is getting sound and well once
