There was man it was said one time,
Who went astray in his youthful prime
Can the brain keep cool and the heart
keep quiet -
When theb lood is river that's run
ming riot?
And boys will be boys, the old folks
say,
And the man is the better who's had
his day.
The sinner reformed; and the preacher
told
OF the IProdigal Son who came back to
the fold,
And Christian people threw open the
door
With warmer welcome than ever
before. So.
Wealth and honor were his to com
mand
And spotless woman gave him her
hand.
And thew orld strewed their pathway
with blossoms albloom,
Crying, God bless ladye. and God
bless groom"
There was a maiden who went astray
In theg olden dawn Of her LIES young
day;
She had more passion and heart than
head,
And she followed blindly where fond
love led.
And loke unchecked is a dangerous
guide
To wander at viii by tairg iris side.
Thew oman repented and turned from
sin.
But no door opened to let her in.
Thep reacher prayed that she might
be forgiven,
But tod her to look for mercy-in
Heaven.
For this is thel aw of the earth, we
know:
That the woman is stoned. while the
man may go.
A brave man welded her after all.
But the world said frowning. 1--WE shall
not call"

SOME RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES

SOME RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES
Few people have any idea Of the
magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas
Seal Campaign. This year over 1907
900 900 seals have been printed and dis
tributed. II placed end-to-end these
seals would extend nearly 2.400 miles,
or practically from New York; to Salt
Lake City. They have been sent to
over $4,000 different agents and. will be
sold and handled by an army OF not
less than 100, 900 volunteers, including
men, women and children. Millions
of advertising circulars have been
scattered throughout the country, and
SO thoroughly has the advertising cam
paign been organized that it is doubt
fn1 If many people In the more popu-
lous States Of the country will not have
heard or the Red Cross Seal and its
mission in the prevention Of tubercu-
losis. It is hoped that at least 81. O0o,-
900 seals may be sold this year. The
principle upon which the sale OF seals
Is based Is that every cent except what
little Is needed to cover the actual cost
of printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commune
/ " where the seals are sold.
