had been asinine enough TO air my
opinions to her as a self-styled expert
upon such an impossible proposition
as the winner of horse race CALLED
me to the marrow. My humiliation
was all the more complete for the
reason that in this, the first financial
transaction In which ! had advised
her, she had come to grief. No oae
knew better than the unforgivatle
ness of my offense. Man may lead
woman astray in love and be wept
over through the darkness of many
a night; he may counsel her out Of
her hope OF a hereafter and yet die
with her arms around his neck: he
may separate her from the world and
still reign as her king. but when he
separates her from her pocket-book
he becomes a rascal or clown in her
eyes. Just how Mrs. Dace made me

PASSING AWAY.

(By A. Belle Anderson.)
They are slipping away from US one
by one,
Like a leaf on the current cast;
They are joining the song of the an
gel band,
And meeting their long gone
friends at last.
AS silent and swift as a weaver's
thread,
Or an arrows lightning gieam;
So life is passing quickly away,
And our loved ones are crossing
the stream.
AS light as the breath of the thistle
down,
So silently waited away,
The months and the years so gliding
by,
And life once beautiful is robed in
clay.
II We tOulu Dut sup lH6 u66lS VI

In this vast and rushing tide,
And bring in the sail that are lashed
by the gale,
To a harbor of rest in peace to
abide.
One after another we see them pass,
In the early morn and at sunset
meet,
Those beautiful blossoms we held so
rare,
Have borne their fruit to lay at
our feet.
There are only few years left to us,
To do the work our Master will
give;
Let us gather the tangled threads of
life,
To blend in sweet thoughts for
those who live.

minute speech. They had a time
keeper and when time was up the
bell rung and they passed on. One
OF the prettiest and sweetest scenes
was that three times little children
were brought to the platform and
Mrs. Stevens tied the white ribbon on
their little wrists. After this, Annie
Gordon offered prayer, and then we
all sang Little children, little chill

by our matchless leader, Mrs. Gra-

played by young lady from North

tory song for us three times. It's
beautiful piece of music and her
voice is as clear as a flute and she
speaks the words so they can be un-
derstood.
All of the meetings were of a high
spiritual order, every one being
opened with devotional exercises, and
then after that, before Mrs. Stevens
went to the regular business, she had
another. prayer offered, and surely
the dear Lord was manifest in all
things done. She held the audience

WAS SPLENDID SPEECH
Address by Albert 1. Loeb at City
Hall Saturday Night One of
Best of Campaign.

The progressive address given at
the city hall Saturday evening by
Hon. Albert |. Loeb was one of the
best if not the best address that has
been given in this city during the
campaign by the speaker of any par
ty. Mr.. Loeb is an easy speaker and
one who does not make attacks upon
his adversaries, but calmly dissects
their plans and shows up the weak
spots in their program with merci-
less logic which carries conviction
with it. His showing up of the trust
favoring attitude of Taft wa COM
plete, while his showing that Wilson
was not the sort of man to match his
brains and will against the problems
to be solved by the president was not
less convincing. He recounted the
various times where Roosevelt while
president had brought the trust mag
mates to time, mentioning among 9TH
ers the time when he plainly told the
coal mine owners that if they did not
operate the mines pending the arbi-
tration of labor difficulties the
United States would take the mines
in charge and operate them till the
owners were ready to arbitrate. Will
son, said Loeb, would still be search
ing the constitution for the right not
to act.
Before leaving Ashland, Mr. Loeb,
who has been campaigning in Ore
gon and Washington for the past six
weeks, wired the national chairman
that this state would, in his opinion,
go for Roosevelt by 10000 and
Washington would be in the progress
sive line by $4,000.
