A MoRTGAGED INHERITANCE.

A MORTGAGED INHERITANCE.
There is a land whose streams did wind
More willingly than these,
Where finer shadows played behind
The clean-stemmed beechen trees.
The maidenS there were deeper eyed,
The lads more swift and fair,
And angels walked at each ones side
Would God that ] were there!
Here dafodils are dressed in gold
But there they wore the sun,
And here the blooms are bought and sold
But there God gave each one.
There all roads led to fairyland
That here do lead to care
And stars were lamps on heavens
strand
Would God that were therei
Here worship crawls upon her course
But there with larks would cope,
And here her voice with doubt Is hoarse
But there was sweet with hope.
o Land of Peace! my spirit dies
For thy once tasted air,
o earliest Loss! o latest Prize!-
Would God that were therei

WUxTRYi WUxrRYI Now that
Doc. Eva Harding has succeeded in
hanging the Jinx on the supplemental
text book, it has been brought to our
attention that several studies are sadly
neglected In the public schools. Prin-
cipal among those neglected Is His
tory, a very, VURRY Important study.
And In answer to the popular ciamor
for Improvement in this course. this
department has decided to publish. for
the benefit Of struggling school chill
dren who seek historical truth. and are
forbidden to purchase huppiemental
books, series of compendious les
sons in History. In these lessons will
be found many important items OF his
tory which have been overlooked by
other historians. Some months ago
we published a series of "Perfectly
Lovely Characters in History" and got
by with it. The present series will be-
gin with a few lessons covering the
Great Discoveries pulled Off on this
side Of the Globe. Unless Doc Hard
ing gets out an injunction on us. this
series will be run daily until IL runs
into the ground or we run out of ma
terial- The Doc is hereby notified that
any effort to class this series with
supplemental text books. will be BIT
terly contested; we hold that it IS
much better and more lucid than any
of the supplemental books.
Naturally, the curtain rises upon Co

Sugar has dropped 20 cents hun

i'fnrmed that the recent renls rkable
advance IN the price was due to a crop

the real reason is that the trast has

FROM OTHER PENS
MEN AND RELIGION.

DR.. Williamson of st. Louis, who ad-
vocates the Men and Religion Forward
Movement so forcefully, gives the key
ton to the fact that most of the
hymns and songs of the church
breathe only of salvation for the indi-
vidual. For example, Nearer. My God,
to Thee; Jesus, Lover of My Soul; I
Need Thee Every Hour; Rock of Ages,
Cleft for Me, etc. all emphasize the
good of the individual, while less COM
mon is such sentiment as Blest Be the
Tie That Binds. And even that, he
says, was inspired by the circumstance
of a prospective separation between
pastor and people, instead of being ex-
pressive of continuous relations.
The only Christianity the world can
ever understand, he contends, is the
Christianity which is interested in
others and manifests itself in social
service. 1t has been held. and by the
pulpit of this city. that there was great
danger of philanthropy and social ser
vice being emphasized at the expense
OF personal religion. 1t may be 50; it
is certain that there is danger of the
reverse being true. AS DR.. William
son says: 1T is not enough to tell
girl who is trying to live on earnings
of SO a week how to save her soul.
The conditions around her must be
made such that her soul can be saved"
That isn't religious cant or benevo-
lent morality; it is practical Chris
tianity manifested through social serv

NATIONALS GAMES GROWTH

Baseball-the Great American Game!
How often have we seen the phrase
written and heard it spoken. But the
time is coming, in fact, is almost here
now, when to speak of baseball as an
American game" will be obsolete.
Baseball promises to be the great inter
national game, for every country on
earth, both civilized and uncivilized,
will be playing it.
In the Philippine islands the benevo-
lent war department is trying to induce
the savage IgOrote headhunters to play
baseball instead of the matter-of-f
pastime of relieving some venturesome
enemy of his head The scheme is
working and the game in time promises
to be an efficient substitute for blood
letting Civilized folk never, probably,
fully understood these wild men, They
had no other sport but head-hunting.
Brutal, of course, but to their I'M
tutored minds it was better than moth
ing, and quite more exciting. Now
comes along the war department, and
through it's soldiers has introduced
baseball among the savages, and it is
an authentic fact that head-hunting in
many tribes has ceased since the game
has been introduced.
This is merely an illustration of the
eventual cosmopolitanism of the great
American game. ''-Indianapoh Star.

Worldwide COST OF LIVING.

While the people of the United
States are suffering through the in
creased cost of living, it may be some
satisfaction to know that the trouble
is worldwide. In Austria, the people
are on the verge of rioting because the
price of food products has risen to an
abnormal degree, while in France an
almost equal amount of discomfort is
shown because of the increased cost of
the necessaries of life.
The same story comes from London.
According to the London Mail, which
has been making an exhaustive in
quiry into the situation. potatoes and
rice are the only articles which sell at
a lower price than in 1900. Bread,
flour, beef. mutton, pork, bacon, but
ter, eggs, sugar and even currants and
raisins are all selling at a marked i'd
vance Bacon is 80 per cent higher,
flour has gone up 20 per cent, and the
increase in all the other necessaries is
enough to make a marked difference
in the cost of living.
OF course, it does not help our own
situation to know that others are in
an equally unfortunate extremity. The
worldwide increase of cost, however,
is of sufficient Importance to warrant
an investigation by economic experts,
and they ought to be able to offer an
explanation and a Washing
ton Post.

my remembrance and to convey to
you my congratulations upon the

I used to live in Cambridge. My
sainted mother was a native of Dor

miles south of the town, her faith

ly part of the Civil War, and resid-
ed in Cambridge with my mother
and three brothers. From 1862 to
1865 1 attended the private school
of Miss Margaret LeCompte. A.
the close of the War we all return
ed to Alexandria, Va, my native
place, where my mother died in
1857. I paid a short visit to Cam
bridge in 1874, and have never beer
there since. Some of the happiest
days 1 ever knew I spent in that
dear old town, and 1 often recall
the faces and names of my early
school mates. I wonder if 'Nick

towards the coming time when by
the grace and power of faith In

EIKs SOCIAL SESSION

Dynamite in large quantities was exploded in the Elks' club on Sat .Urday night at the social session that the dynamite committee had ar ranged. It was one of the best so. cial sessions that the lodge has had and was heartily enjoyed from the announcement of sthe first event until the reluctant breaking up after the singing of "Auld Lang Syne. % More than seventy-five members of the lodge, visiting brothers and out of-town friends were present and participated in the good cheer that was offered.
 j. H. Baker was master of cere- monies at the social session of the Elks on Saturday night and started the ball rolling with some trite re- marks and good stories. Some i'm promptu remarks from others fol- lowed and then came three round boxing bout between Litchfield and Brady. lightWeights. Litchfield made Brady come to him during most of the go, but as the opening came landed eleverly a number of times. Fast foot work and careful sparring were shown through the three rounds and only once did the men come to a clinch. Later in the evening there was fast and furious three round go between Powers and Mcdonald. The men went right at 1t in the first round, and knock downs and elinches followed each other with startling rapidity.
 There were other events of a diff lferent nature, however, to vary the pleasures of the evening. Smith and McKenna, the musical staff of the Dime, furnished several musical num- bers and Mir. Smith also accompan- jed Jack 3aglin in some of his ever popular songs. Then Mir Smith ren- dered some piano numbers alone that greatly pleased. The dancing numbers were excellently done by 1 .'Sr. Jose de Ia Luz Blanco" Bel mont He is an exceptionally clever dancer and his performance was highly pleasing Stories were told and speeches made by various ones
 including J. B. Speed, who was said to have been buried and wheI
 asked to explain his resurrection in
 dignantly denied that he had ever
 been a dead one.
 The social session added still fur
 ther to the luster that attaches tS the name of the dynamite committee
