CONSCIENCE.

| built a wall, and it took many years,
So strong, so grimly fortified it's
stony face.
Outside thrust those things that him
dered me
And in my busy life had no abid-
ing place,
Tears, Sympathy and Leniency were
first to CO.:
Then Generosity and Trust, and.
lastly, Truth.
l drove them forth with many a lusty
blow
Mortised the last stones tight. I
had no truth.
C~nhampered now my gold and fame
Fast spec my days-faster my Golfers
filled.
Within the shadow Of my wall l
piled a thriving trade
All the long working hours I wove a
glittering web.
Not till the dark shut down was I
disnayed,
For there remained just n most fool
ish thing
That would not loose it's grip up
On my soul.
Each night 1t walked from sleep with
dreadful clamoring
And endless gibings at myapuerile
goal.
For those without it mourned in con-
slant sorrowing;
Naught could I do TO quiet or con-
sole.
Thus driven desperate, | RACED my
wall with travail sore!
Back trooped those pardoning, hope
full things to me once more
And 10! Upon my threshold stood an
angel blottlng out a score!

Children of the Shadow.

Albion Fellows Bacon in The Sur
vey: This is not about those OF
whose Short and simple annals Gray
wrote. It is not of those to whose
honest poverty Burns referred. Nor
does it treat of any who can sing,
BE it ever so humble All Of these
may have been poor, but they were
not "the poor" There is fresh air
blowing through every n Of those
poems. They breathe Of all that is
wholesome, tender, sacred, the real
riches Of life.
But one cannot write a pastoral
song OF the lark over their heads, to
weave into the verse;, no lowing
herd" no fireside circle, with it's
peace of heart" Instead; there is the
wolf" outside the door, bowling to
the dark. And those who hide and
cover inside are the ones we call the
submerged the children of the
shadow. For the most part, in our
country, they are the children of the
city and the town.
We see the poor as a mass OF
shadow, painted in one fiat gray
wash, at the remote edges Of our sun
shine. In fact, they are generally
spoken Of in that way, as If that one
drab word named, defined and CLASH
fed all who were over the line, on
the shadow side. And there is so
often reproach in the word, and alb
horrence in the tone with which it
Is spoken, that I am fain to plead for
them a better acquaintance and a
fairer judgment. That is why l am
writing this chapter, to bring the poor
nearer, as with a. sort of field glass,
to those who have never really known
them. '...

- VELYN asked daddy as soon MS he got in the house If 10 was yet time
W for butterflies or any of the moth family. 81 + t#
THAT question reminds me" said daddy, "f q party the Rray
night flying moths gave the other night " +"" "
Some OF the moths and small butterflies were therein fact as many Of
the moch ana butterfly family who were up and. ready for the summer The
toFTices, the dneids, the black sreaked brown butterflies, the blue butterflies
and the eldns were all there. &c. you see they really did have quite a large
party.
"But it was given by the gray night flying moths, and t was given on a
bright moonlight night. They chose a very lovely old Fashioned garden for
their party. .~- . ~E &.N @@.. IN.
"The moor was shining brightly and made the incest light The stars
twinkled and binked way up in the sky, just Isl they were in the party too.
At least they did seem to be trying to help along the gayety OF the party by
being just as bright as they possibly could be- and they looked down over the
party just as If they wanted to look very, very merry. .
THE "a in the moo ri winkng and grinning and saying:
"Ha, h; it does my heart good to see a fine party and more especially
to see all the little butterflies and moths once more having a good timer
"They certainly did have a good time. They danced such fairylke dances,
and they watched their shadows under the moonlight They all felt 81 glad
to be alive and dancing. and playing once more did make them happy.
after they'd danced FOR some time they had q supper of apple worms and
delicious fruit buds. They had danced SO long that it seemed nice to have a
supper party all together. They all sat on the bushes and ate their supper
But after 1t was all over they still wanted the party to continue. So the gray
night flying moths said: ."
mo one must go to bed yet. The party isn't quarter over. WeT feel you
are not having a good time if you go home 10 soon'
"Au the other butterflies and moths chimed in at once:
"tOh, gray night flying moths, o are most wonderful moths, and 70 give
tho most marvellous parties! None of us has eve had such a fine party be-
fore, and W e certainly do not want to go home Wen stay ever and ever so
much Ionger-untl very, very late At that the moon again winked and
grinned and said: ''#',.
"rm going to stay up all night. 90 why shouldn't all you moths and but
terhies? I like company. and I like TO be amused, and you can't make me
sleepy IT tired
$50 the party continued for a good long time"

TURN HAIR DARK
With sage TEA
GRANDMA KEPT HER LOCKS
DARK, GLOSSY AND THICK WITH
A SIMPLE MIXTURE OF SAGE
TEA AND SULPHUR.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair Is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using It to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite senst-
Bile, as we are living in an age when
g youthful appearance Is Of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, We don't have
the troublesome task OF gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy for about SO cents
a bottle. It is very popular because
nobody can discover 1t has been ap-
piled. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, 1t
also produces that soft lustre and APP
pearance Of abundance which Is so at
tractive; besides. prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair.

ARMY CRITICISMS.

Al good deal Of attention has been
e~4ttracted by a series Of articles In
$EHarper's Weekly, in which a critic of
}kthe United States army has under
sEfaken to show that the enlisted man
bis a much abused individual, while the
.koftcer has his status arbitrarily fixed
kas that OF q gentleman. and Is treated
with great lenfency when he Is guilty
paof neglect of duty.
There is something of a foundation
flor the criticism, if one may consider
occasional instances rather thar the
esystem as a whole. But it is apparent
Rthat the editor Of Harper's Weeklv
tEand the author Of the articles in cues
F3t1on have failed to consider one very.
significant fact which underlies the
problem.
The enlisted man is absolutely use
Bless If he is undisciplined. He comes
ito the army without any special train
sing for the work he undertakes to do.
When he is unwilling or unable to
conform to the rules laid down. he
must be trained, by the quickest meth
'ods possible, to perform the duties of
a. soldier in the manner of a soldier.
Moreover. it is a significant fact that
the intelligent INC fair-minded man
who joins the ranks of the army sell
dom gets into trouble.
At would be both needless and unfair
to insist pon the application Of the
same set Of rules to officers and en-
listed men. where derelictions are con-
cerned. The officer has spent at least
four yeags at a military school, mas
tering the duties Of the soldier. In
other words, he knows what discipline
means and what it's purpose is.
- That is the lesson that the. enlisted
man has still to learn; and given a
fair amount of sense and good inten-
ton. he learns 1t without great diff

1t is the unruly man who gets into
trouble in the army. The Harper's ar

Sun Power Plants.

st. Louis POST Dispatch: Frank
Shuman, of Tacony, Penn, inventor Of
the once -ridiculed but now famous
sun-power plant. which is in such
successful operation In Egypt and Is
about TO be duplicated for the British
government in the Sudan, writes TAX
ing The Scientific American to task
tor some pesSirnistiC illusions to the
practicability Of sun power as a mo-
tive force for engines.
The Scientific American, in an arti-
Gle on Energy Sources Of the Future.
stated that all the coal and oil mined
in the year 1909 throughout the world
furnished 100000. 900 horse power. Mr..
Shuman takes this as the basis for the
following interesting calculation.
Our sun heat absorbers at Cairo
occupy less than an acre Of room and
develop fifty brake horse power
throughout a ten-hour day. This does
not mean that an acre Of sunlight is
Intercepted. The area Of sunlight in
tercepted is only 1880 square feet. or
less than one-third Of an acre. but it
Is necessary to place the heat absorb
er units sufficiently far apart so that
they won't shade each other in the
early forenoon or late afternoon.
Taking the above actual work Of
cur plant as q basis, it would My be
necessary to cover 20.250 square miles
of ground In the Sahara desert with
u sun heat absorber units, spaced as
wide apart as they now are, to give
perpetual!y the 270, 000, 900 horse bow
er per year required to equal all the
fuel mined in 1909.
This area of 20.25O square miles is
practically equal to a square Of 143
miles, and its size as compared with
the Desert of Sahara Is shown by the
accompanying map. Surely from this
showing, the human rae can see that
sun power can take care of them for
all time to come
The cost. according to: Mr.. schuman,
would be $9S, 500, O8o, 009,E but it would
be a good investment, al it would be
worth to its owners at least as much
as all the coal and oil fields in the
world. but would be perpetual, where
at the present rate" of consump-
ton the coal and oil fields cannot last
more than 100 years.
ITO the individual" he says, $685.
900, 000, 900 is a staggering sum, but to
the human race. particularly if spread
out through a period of say 200 years.
1t is almost nothing"

~ScoRcHERs BEWARE!

This is the time Of the year when
the wners of automobiles and mot
orcycles-especially the latter, who
are sometimes young and apt to be in
discreet-seem to find the impulse to
let 'er out" almost Irresistible. This
is especially true in the residence dis
trict on the southside which is far
enough away from the regular police
beats to give the scorchers a sense of
security.
Young fools on motorcycles have
been tearing through these streets at
break-neck 81 eed the past few days
and citizens in some sections are up
in arms. Criminal is a mild word to
apply to the person who would DELHI
erately take a chance on manning or
killing some innocent little child by
q practice.

last issue Of The Blade warns the
scorche~s as follows:
