The Angels Song.

The world now lists to catch the an
gels song:
1t worships Him and grants Him holy
birth,
Who came to bring us peace upon the
earth,
Yet ne'er at peace abides the world
for long:
For even as We worship. still we
strive
To keep our heads above the madden
ing throng;
We fear that we must battle hard and
long
To win our daily bread and still sur
vive.
Yet 1 have felt, though all about was
war,
That power which overspread and
Gained the sea;
And I have longed to feel it more
and more,
An influence of the infinity!
I've heard the song; it soothed my
soul to soar;
l know there's peace on earth fol
thee and me-

MARK TWAIN AS A POET.

The following is said to have been
written by Mark Twain and publish
ed in California about 1864:
He Done His Level Best.
Was he a mining on the flat
He done 1t with a zest;
Was he leading of the choir
He done his level best.
If he'd regular task to do,
He never took no rest;
Or IL twas Off and on-the same
He done his level best.
If he was preaching on his beat,
He'd tramp from east to west.
And north to south, in cold and heat,
He done his level best
He'd curse and sing and howl and
pray,
And dance and drink and jest,
And lie and steal-all one to him
He done his level best.
Whate'er this man was sot to do,
He done it with a zest;
No matter what his contract was,
He'd do his level best

CONCERNING WOMEN.

OF the thirteen states having less
than 2 per cent of illiteracy 10 years
ago 12 allowed women to vote in
school elections. or the IL states hav-
ing more than 10 per cent of Hitter
acy among the white population 10
years ago none gave women the
school vote. The Kentucky women
who are making campaign for
countrywide suffrage are using these
facts as an argument
Nine. Breshkovsky, the famous Rus
sian woman who Is called the little
grandmother by her followers, and
who was condemned to Siberia for
the utterance of what she considered
patriotism, has at last been heard
from.
She is on her way to Siberia and
suffering from scurvy. She is allow
ed 20 cents a day for food. Nine.
Breshkovsky will be remembered by
many who heard her in America as a
woman of great intellectual attain

countrymen.

AMERICAN VS.. SWISS.

A Swiss drummer rendered con-
spicuous by a pair of tight French
riding trousers which apparently
were intended to be worn standing up
furnished me with a means of COM
pairing European with the American
method of doing business. His line
was French agricultural machinery,
and inasmuch as he had been max
ing the coast for several years, 1t was
fair to assume that he was a success
in his business.
For three weeks after his arrival
at the Lupone. he did nothing save
sit in the covered front yard of the
hotel and idly speculate about the
progress of the war while ragged ur-
chins. after the manner of the coun-
try, polished and repolished his shoes.
He assiduously cultivated and bought
drinks for politicians and listened to
their bombastic utterances without In
the least committing himself in the
matter of opinion. By the second
Sunday night, he had progressed far
enough in social intercourse with the
existing political regime to secure a

ner. The week after that, he went
riding in a brougham with some OF
the women of the presidents immedi-
ate household and dispensed Central
American small talk between mouth
fuls of the thick red dust which ov-
erlays Managua like a blanket. AT
the end Of a month he sailed away,
a lamented social lion, carrying with
him orders for machinery which
could more acceptably have been
filled by American manufacturers. He
had caught favor in high places and
his honOrs had been reflected upon
the plantations.
An American drummer had burst
into Managua about the same time
as the Swiss, buoyant with affabillty
which but thinly conceaed his con-
tempt for his prospective customers
He bought drinks for the natives in
