PRAY


Don't fear that the world will laugh
If you pray. ae.- .-...
Don't care if it does. Let it have its
way.
Remember the softness and beauty it
brings
When round you Unfolding its COM
forting wings
It carries you out in the dark and the
care
To the thoughts of happier life
somewhere.
Don't be afraid if they scoff and they
scorn
At the thought of your praying. 1t
leads them to morn
Through sleep of refreshing, rest
so divine,
Like a path in the summer beneath
bloom and vine.
Ending down in garden somewhere
that doth seem
In a dusk of old magic that drifts
through a dream.
Don't mind and don't worry, whatever
they say.
Kneel down or stand up, but stop
talking and pray.
Don't be a coward to cringe at the
word
OF the cynics whose voices in
haunting are heard,
Wherever men gather, remember how
sweet
The peace after prayer, like the rain
after heat!
Don't let the world turn your pur-
pose aside
From the prayer that flows in on the
tumult and tide
OF strife and of worry, but let it pre-
vail
Over all that may tempt you, attack
and assail;
Remembering its gentle and mellow
ing spirit
When you pray with a faith in the
One that will hear it.

THE NEW STATE.

New Mexico became the fOrty-sey-
enth star in the galaxy of Old Glory
Monday night, and the event was
celebrated with a great demonstra-
lion at the capital of the new state,
the old-time city of Santa Fe. The
ceremonies were held in The Pal

Jne hundred different governors OF
the territory.
The governors palace differs from

Irande with a little army and large
number of immigrants from Old

till some time before the jamestown
ettlement, Onate founded his perma-

selected because of the wonderful
harm of it's climate, and where a

The first building of any pretension

joyed good health almost up to the
time of his death. He complained OF
illness Sunday, Dec. 318t The fol
lowing day, New Years, he was seat
ed in a chair in his home and death
came almost on the instant, of heart
trouble. He was &c years, l month
and 8 days of age at the time OF
death. The following sketch of the
life of the veteran was given by a
paper of Kearney:
Richard J. Talbot was born IN I'm.
ion county, Ohio, November %, 1S45,
He enlisted in the 33rd Iowa volun.
teers in 1862 and served in the army
one year. On account of i'll health
he was discharged from the service.
The disease contracted in the army
never left him. He was married at
Granville, Iowa, February 10, 1865, to
Celia Ryan. Seven children blessed
their home, three of whom preceded
the father to the other shore. Those
living are Mrs. Ida Gustin, of AXtell
