The Benefit OF Sorrow.

BY sorrow men learn that they need
to be fed with higher food, that they
must rest on stronger supports, that
they must have other friends and 9TH
er friendships, that they must lire an
other life, that there must be some
thing that neither time nor chance nor
accident can undermine and sweep
away. When men have learned the
interior lesson Of sorrow they look
upon trouble 10 as being less trou-
blous than ii was, but as, from the
higher point to which they have risen,
unreal and dreamy.-Henry Ward
Beecher.

REPUBLICANS SING
BULL MOOSE HYMN
Saratoga Convention Permitted Wo-
man td Talk Politics to Them
Sense Of Humor characterized Mu-
sic.

Saratoga, N. Y. Sept. 30.-Having
evolved to their own discomfort the
Embossed convention, and having de-
veloped incipient progressiveness, the
delegates to the Republican State
Convention went several steps fur
Their and p~urloined a few more star
features of the Bull Moose road show.
In convention assembled they sang,
Onward, Christian Soldiers" and let
a woman talk politics to them.
The astonishing incident occurred
at the morning session of the con-
vention, as Senator Edgar Truman
Bracket, the permanent chairman,
Q ~weurd up his speech in a more sol
emn vein and called On the delegates
to give the pledge: Faith Of our
fathers, we will be true to thee"
The band leader seems to have a
sense of humor. He has twice led his
musicians to play 1--WE Won't Go
Home Until Morning" when long
speeches were about to be delivered
and the solemn note from Bracket
evidently gave him another inspira-
tion. Even before the applause had
started he had waved his baton and
strains Of the hymn were ringing
through the hall. The delegates all
rose. Many OF them smiled and the
singing did not at nee begin.
Then a few began chanting and
pretty 0 about half the delegates
were singing, looking a little shame
faced. as If they knew to use a thea
trical term, that they were, steal
ing some one else's business They
went right through the stanza, how
ever, and then %applauded again.
Hardly had the music stopped
when up jumped Col. Abraham Cru
Der.
Personally inspired by the hymn
~ which YOU have just listened,
began the Colonel amid laughter,
"and having some reason to believe
II was directed at me, ! desire TO ask
unanimous consent that the prlvl-
Iece of the floor be given for 10 MIN
utes TO Miss Helen Varick Boswell
Of the Women's national Tart Lea
que"
The delegates gasped. Here was
another innovation. Never before, IN
this State. has a woman addressed 4
Republican State Convention.
Miss Boswell. a little woman OF a
rather old-fashioned type, dressed IN
black satin and wearing a high black
bonnet with a white plume, began
sneaking in a voice that sounded
strangely high after Brackets deep
tones. but with a laughing reference
10 the time she had been active IN
politics she won the audience, and Tor
rs minutes, talking of the benefi-
cence of the Republican party and
the superiority of the Taft admins
tration, and carefully avoiding lhat
bugaboo of the delegates, woman sur
frage. she held attention and gained
liberal applause, especially when she
referred to Roosevelt as a lightning
bug and repeated this verse.
The lightning bug Is brilliant,
But he hasn't any mind;
He wanders through creation
With his headlight on behind.
AS she concluded the band played

CONDITIONS IN PERU
 ATTRACT ATTENTION

London, July 13-The disclosures as to the state of affairs in the rubber indus try in Peru published in the Blue Book, just issued by the foreign office as the result of Sir Roger Easements investi- cations, attract a great deal of attention The British consul general at Rio Janeiro fully confirms the charges brought against native agents of the Peruvian-Amazon company, a British concern, formerly en- gagged in rubber collection in the Putu- mayo district.
 Sir Roger Easement was sent to Peru a year ago and found overwhelming evil denee of the murder and torture of de- fenseless Indians. He discovered that kerosene had been poured over men, won'- en and children who had been tied to stakes and were then set on fire. The brains of children had been dashed out, the limbs of Indians had been cut off or broken and they had been left to die. The tortures also included deliberate star vation of many people.
 The foreign office says that after many months of futile attempts to get the Pe- rliyian government to take measures to prevent the recurrence of such horrors and to punish the guilty persons, it had decided with the cordial acquiescence Of the United States government, that the only course to take was to publish the facts in full.

Apart from the attrac- tions of the Olympic games, Sweden is a perfect vacation ground. It may be roughly divided into three sections-the forest region to the north, with it's glo- rious pine woods and noble rivers; the mountain region to the northwest, em- bracing Lapland with its midnight sun and the southern region, a land of lakes and fields and smiling landscapes.
 The last named district is characterized by fertile plains cultivated from almost prehistoric times, but still embracing wide expanses "unimpaired by any desecrating hand" Within its borders lie many of the principal towns-giorious Stockholm itself, the famous seaport of Gothenburg; Malmo, next in importance; Linkopng, with its grand cathedral and others claim ing attention.
