The Denarted Friend.

Though he that ever kind and true
Kept stoutly step by step with you,
Your whole long, gusty lifetime
through,
Be gone a while before
Be now a moment gone before
Yet doubt not; anon the season shall
restore
Your friend to you.
RE mas but turned a corner-still
He pushed on with right good will
Through mire and marsh, by hough
and hill,
That self-same arduous way
That self-same upland, hopeful way
That you and he through many a
doubtful day
Attempted still.
He is moi dead, this friend-not
dead,
But in the path We mortals tread
Got some few, trifing steps ahead
and nearer to the end,
So that you, too, once past the bend,
Shall meet again, as face to face, this
friend
You fancy dead.
Push gayly on, strong heart; the
while
You travel forward, mile by mile,
He loiters with a backward smile
Till you can overtake,
And strains his eyes to search his
wake,
Or, whistling, as he sees you through
the brake,
Waits on a stile.

An r d of Lamb.

Last month a Cleveland travelling
man was married, and was given
months vacation. He and his bride
have been spending their honey
moon in a quiet summer resort.
The other evening as they entered
the dining room and sat down, as
usual, in a secluded corner. the
young husband noticed a very good
customer at the table nearby.
Say, dearest" he whispered,
there's Mr.. Jones over there. You

with him, will you? Think how fine

The little bride agreed, rather
ruefully. Her travelling man hur-
ried over to Jones, shook hands with
him, and ordered his dinner, which
included roast lamb. Then he be-
gan to talk business.
He was so earnest about it that
he didn't notice when the waiter re-
moved his meat dish and placed a
dessert before him. Then suddenly
he looked down at his plate and ex-
claimed:
"Why, where's my lamb"

| may not know the hour that l may

But this / know-that some day,
near or far,
From out the clear, cold Universe of
God,
The call of Death shall clearly sound

Then back. like curling scroll, be-
fore mine eyes,
Shall roll the pageantry of Time,
And my poor soul, all timid and

Fare forth to meet the God who
gave it life.
From His most Holy Lips shall then
The words of Judgment fall
Then let me live so that each fleet

Ay, every moment of this precious

Be but a preparation for that Day of
Doom.
That when the call of Death shall
reach mine ears
1t waken in my heart no fear nor

But just a strong, true courage of
the soul,
That, fortified by Holy Church's Sac
raments,
Gives promise of the Life beyond the

called to the circumstances OF a tragedy
in this city as q result Of which q man
is now under accusation for causing the
death Of a woman. The police learned
on investigation that the pistol which
figured in the shooting had been bought
by the man from a local dealer to
whom he gave a fictitious name and
address. This Is a typical case, SO
typical, indeed, that 1t is distressing
to contemplate the number Of times
which 1t has been repeated. and has IL

Photographing the Colonel.

1t is rather difficult to sympathize with
Col Roosevelt in his sufferings at the
hands Of the camera squad. The shut
ter snappers have. 1t is true, been after
him most persistently ever since he threw
his hat into the ring. They have waited
on his doorstep, at his house and at his
office: they have caught him getting into
trains and carriages, have depicted him
walking and talking. have presented him
to the public In all the familiar atti-
tudes and with all the well known ex-
pressions Of countenance. Now he ex-
presses annoyance and says: 1T is aw-
fully hard to smile and look pleasant
when your picture Is taken SO often"
Then why try to smile and look pleasant?
Why not be natural? The public asks
no more. Indeed. it may be questioned
whether the public really wants as many
pictures as have been taken during the
last two weeks. Viewed from one angle
there has been a tremendous waste of
good Photographic material, and the
colonel, as a sound conservationist, ought
to utter a protest against the extrava-
gance of taking new pictures when old
ones will do just as well. But maybe
after all the colonel is not really as an
noyed as he seems. There was probably
never a man who liked to be photo
graphed any better than he, and it is
permissible to take exceptions to his de-
murrer in this instance.

The South Pole Reached.

:, After the discovery of the north pole
z! three years ago. il was expected that
"ssimilar success would be scored at the
southern axis within a short time. The
word has just flashed from New Zealand
Ythat Capt. Amundsen, himself an aspi-
> rant for south polar honors, announces
that Capt. Scott. leader of the British
expedition. reached the pole during the
summer just closing on that side Of the
world. Thus the Union Jack balances
the Stars and Stripes at the extreme
points of the earth. and Americans has
ten to congratulate their brethren
across the sea upon the honor of having
scored this achievement. Much of the
credit for this triumph must be given
to Sir Ernest Shackleton, whose re-
searches of the antarctic undoubtedly
laid the foundation for Scott's present
success. Shackleton might himself have
won the goal had he not withdrawn in
favor of Scott. content with the laurels
that had been bestowed upon him for his
valuable endeavors. Thanks to his gen.
crosby the name Of Scott will be linked
with that Of Peary for completing the
work of exploration upon which man has
ssbeen bent for several centuries. Now
both goals have been gained and nothing
remains save the detailed scrutiny Of the
far-lying regions both north and south
where no opportunity offers for mans
occupation. Profitless though these two
great accomplishments may be from a
commercial standpoint. they have never
theless been well worth the cost.
