know except Tor the fact that at

Industrial institutions Of the country

or have done so, and with a year of
steady work and good wages as the
prospect the toilers felt more in a
mood to jubilate.

The greatest of thoughts has perhaps
been thought
And the greatest word has perhaps
been said;
May be the greatest fight has been
fought,
The greatest of mortals perhaps is
dead,
But we never can know and we never
can guess,
The greatest of deeds may be yet un-
done;
Fate may be looking today to find
man of the proper mold and kind
And why may not be the chosen one7
We fare on new and untraveled way
That winds along to the dim unknown,
Where what may be waiting no man
can say.
We know of today and the past alone
But the way forever goes up and up,
The past slopes down where the dead
years lie;
Fate may be waiting somewhere to raise
Some man over all who have yet earned
praise,
And proudly Haunted their banners high.

Night Call for the Dominic.

A clergyman's small daughter was
sent to bed supperless just before her
fathers return from a short trip
Hearing him enter, some time later,
the young lady called down:
Mamma l want to see daddy"
There was no response from below.
A moment later:
Mamma, please let daddy get me a
drink of water"
When that, too, failed, a small
white figure came to the head of the
stairs and said sternly:
Mrs. Hastings, I am a very sick
woman. / want to see my pastor at
once"
Needless to say her pastor went
up.-Woman's Home Companion.

ROUTE FROM KANSAS
CITY TO The EAST

Kansas City. Mo-. Dec. 29.-Anothcr
big step in the wider use of the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers as transportation
routes was taken this week when a traf-
fic agreement was made between the
Kansas City Missouri River Navigation
company Of Kansas City and the Chicago,
st. Louis and Gulf Transportation com.
pany Of Chicago. This agreement means
the establishment Of through traffic from
Chicago to Kansas City, Chicago to New
Orleans and Kansas City to New Orleans
by water. a
The Kansas City line now has in ser.
vice three towboats and nine barges.
which have been operated exclusively in
the st. Louis Kansas City trade. The
Chicago company has two twoboats and
six barges, and purposes now to increase
its fleet. es the through traffic from Chi
ago to Kansas City is large enough to
keep its present fleet busy.
Almost the entire west bound tonnage
carried by the Kansas City company is
manufactured goods from the east. Here
tofore this has come to Chicago by wa
ter and is, ~transhipped by rail to st.
Louis. or has come all rail to St. Louis
In the future part Of this tonnage will
be routed via the lakes to Chicago,
thence by barge to Kansas City. A prob.
lem heretofore with the Kansas City line
was to get cargoes for its barges east
bound. but with q through route to Chi
cago now 1t is expected that there al
ways will be grain enough to fill the
barges east bound.
Arrangements also are being made with
