Why He Applauded.

Every year brings forth its fund
of campaign stories which the politi-
cal spellbinders tell with effect TO IL
lustrate points of their speeches, and
the present Mayoralty contest in
Philadelphia is no exception. At. sew
eral meetings Edwin o. Lewis, candi-
date for Sheriff on the Blankenburg
slate, told a story Of a temperance
meeting which made quite a hit The
candidate said that speaker at the
cold-water gathering declared that II
it was within his power he would
empty every barrel Of strong drink
into the river. After that he would
empty every bottle. and so on down
the line until he had every vial of
liquor in the river. Every time the
speaker declared he would throw the
liquor into the water a man in the
rear Of the hall applauded vigorously.
After the meeting the temperance ad-
vocate approached the one who had
applauded and said: MY man. you
appeared to be very enthusiastic to-
night When ! said it would give me
great pleasue to throw every drop of
liquor into the river you applauded.
Are you a firm believer in the cause
of temperance" mo, sir" replied
the man. Il am diver. New York

OUR HERITAGE
M. c. Robbins.

Our heritage-it is a mystery great,
We know not why to each and all
twas given.
How we must labor and must also
wait
Twill be revealed to use when we
reach Heaven;
Just now as through glass we darkly
see,
We grope and falter as we walk
apace,
Some day the mystery will fade away,
And we shall see it all then face
to face.
Our heritage is life and we must
Wan
Beneath the curse of Adam every
day
And condemnation follows every step,
In vain we try to wrench ourselves
away.
'Tis a decree and it will follow u.s.
AS through the labyrinth of life we
tread
Submit we must we're helpless in the
fray
And take whatever falls upon our
head.
Our heritage is death-a greater mys-
terry
For in the midst of life it's that we
meet,
And we must fold our hands when we
are called,
And say farewell to life however
sweet
'Tis so that flowers fade and we can
know,
Just when they'll wither at an icy
breath,
And trees grow less and leaves will
fall
But every season is thine own, oh
death.
Our heritage is death-we none
escape
For on each heart twill fix its icy
grasp.
/ 1t matters not what honors we
! achieve
'Tis silence-death-and the lone
grave at last.
For should we reach the zenith Of
great fame
And do not know the story old and
Il sweet
'Tis bitter like dead sesfruit on our
lips
And turns to dust and ashes at our
feet
Our heritage is life-the span is
short
We struggle through vale of pain
and tears
We carry burdens-crosses come so
Oft
And every day will bring its cark-
ing cares
But we must find the pearl that price
less is
Twill compensate us for all changes
here
And let our heritage be what It may
With resignation twill be met with
out a fear.
But there's another heritage that is
to come.
Twill come wien all life's ills and
cares are DER.
If we have to the Spirit sown-wen
reap
ETERNAL honors-lasSing evermore-
ANThen we can cry-oh heritage SC
4 blest-
That gives to us a home beyond the
sky.
'Tis where eternal summers always
reign
And pleasures cannot fade away
nor die.

his claim vigorously, and now in his
old age. when he needs the money
most he is turned down.
Lest they wear it out" the pamph-
let reads, the Presbyterians who
built a church thirty-eight years ago
in small burg on the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland would have nothing to do
with the Golden Rule. for they failed

faithful work for them back there in

mechanics. but asked the painter to
wait He is waiting yet.
"All young mechanics are hereby
warned against doing any work for
churches without a contract, signed
before a notary by some real estate
holding member of the church, and
are advised to press early and often
for a settlement"
