A little flower by the wayside grow
ing
Lifted its face to God,'
And passersby smiled at the bit of
brightness
Its beauty gave the sod.
A little word in thoughtful kindness
spoken
Make glad a sorrowing heart.
And those who heard it went their
ways forgetting
Life's bitterness and smart
A little smile from one who was a
stranger
Made glad childs sad face,
And 10! 1t was as if day of sun
shine
Damned in the market place.
A little word that angry thoughts
made bitter
Was spoken to a friend,
And a hurt heart ached on in griev-
ed dumb silence
Until the days long end.
A little frown from one of whom
a cOmrade
Sought help in time of need
Crushed the last hope of one whose
heart was striving
For kindly word and deed.
These little things of life, but, oh!
how mighty
They are for good or i'll,
To bless or blight, to ease another's
burden,
Or make it heavier still.
Oh, be it mine by deed or work O
kindness
To strengthen for the strife
Weak hands and hearts, that sorely
lack the courage
To make the most of life.

THREE BROTHERS GAIN
RESPITE while IN
SIGHT OF CALL0WS

Halifax n. s., Jan. 15.-Instead of
dying on the gallows today in accord
ance With the sentence originally pro-
noaneed on them. the three Graves
brothers spent the day In unusually
good spirits. thankful that a respite
had given them new lease of life
aud hopeful that another trial will en-
able them to escape the extreme penalty
Of the law. Their case has attracted
an extraordinary amount of attention
throughout this section, chiefly because
ii furnishes the first instance on record
in which three brothers have been con-
demned to death in eastern Canada. The
crime of which they We're convicted
was a murder at Kenneth Lea. at Kent
Vile in June last. The three brothers
IN an intoxicated condition, called at
the victims house at night with the
purpose of visiting a domestic in Leafs
employ, and whom the latter had for
hidden them to see. In a scuffle that
ensued Lea was shot and died two days
later. In the trial 1t was brought out
that one of the brothers had previously
threatened to kill Lea.
