Stay moment. tell me. pray.
Why you sing song OF glee:
Ger your head the sky Is gray,
Darkness falls Ger land and sea:
BY your hands / know you labor.
You are plainly, poorly clad;
Has your dearest hope come true?
Has Good Fortune brought to you
Messages that make you glad?
Youth forsook you long ago.
Toll has robbed you OF your grace;
Have you crushed some ancient foef
JOY Eliminates your face;
Down your path the wind is bowling;
Others, richer than you. sigh,
Others moan that all is wrong,
Yet you sing a cheerful song;
Pause a moment. tell me why.
Fortune has not raised me high,
Grief has claimed no foe OF mine;
From a warm and cloudless sky
Still the sun is sure to shine;
Those for whom I have to labor
With their trust and love repay:
They are strong of limb and we'll.
Hope is fostered where we dwell.
Faith goes with me on my way

IN NEW ZEALAND DUE
 TO LONG STRIKE

Wellington, N. z., oct. 31.-A short age of food and fuel with its accom- panying privations for the poorer classes is beginning to be felt through out New Zealand as a, result of gen era1 strike of the coal miners and dockers.
 The struggle which has led to this serious position in the dominion of New Zealand is a trial of strength be- tween employers and the Federation of Labor, which is not registered un- der the provisions of the compulsory arbitration and conciliation act passed in 1902 by the terms of which any per sons melting workrnen to strike or any employers ordering a lockout without first going to arbitration are liable to severe penalties.
 The labor upheava1 began with a strike of shipwrights several weeks ago when the men demanded better conditions and the recognition of their union. The lockers and miners short. Iy afterwards laid down their tools in sympathy and other tradesmen fol- lowed their example until a large pro- portion of the organized labor of the dominion had ceased work.

 England will go heavily into flying boats and water planes in the near future, as will France, Germany and Italy.
 France has at the present time about, fifteen hundred qualified pilots who can fly most any type of machine. Abroad they do not at the present time build a good type of flying boat, so there is an extremely good market for this Inachin.
