De Profundis-By Halle Schurz

As lie broken by the road
throw away my earthly load
Of hopes and doubts and silenced Tyre
With tangled strings - my lost desire
A brush. pen. my empty dream
Some silks. some flowers. Jewels CLEAN:
fling them all into the street
Where ! can hear the drumming feet
OF all those others passing by
To search for castles in the sky.
Some laugh with roses in their hair;
Some stroll care free. some creep with care:
Some haunt the flash of precious stones;
Some dance in rags. some crawl with groans

rumored engagement. with the additional informa

more or less certain that she never had set eyes
on him.
\ rather staggering coincidence appeared with
the published report that Miss Blithers herself Wa
supposed to be somewhere in Europe word having
been received that day from sources in London that
she had sailed from New York under an assumed
name The imaginative French journals put two

Vienna hurrying homeward fast as steel cars
could carry him. He admitted that the young man
had arrived on the Jupiter that morning. having
remained i'll the closest secuson all the way across

likelihood postpone his return to the capital All of
which stamped the honest Baron a most pro-
digious liar if one stops to think of what he said
to the reporters.
The newspapers also printed a definite bit of
news in the share of despatch from New York to
the effect that Mr. and Mrs. William w. Blithers
were sailing for Europe on the ensuing day, bound
for Graustark!

BRIGHT PROSPECTS

There is a note IF optimism in
the. air and it comes from the
bankers who are hurrying to enroll
in the reserve association. Some
time ago there was a note of pes
simism in the air and it came from
the bankers who predicted ruin if
the proposed currency law were
adopted. The conclusion should be
that little attention should be
paid the bankers as a whole when
they are discussing n matter which
affects their own profits.
When the assessor asks q man
how much his property is worth
the value Of that property shrinks
visibly, When a debtor is asked
how much property he has subject
to execution OIL judgment that
debtor becomes indeed a poor man.
When a BANKER is asked what will
be the result of a law that will take
away his power IF cornering money
and scalping the money market the
banker will invariably say it will
disrupt the country.
But the people are becoming
used to such walls and they pay no
heed to them. In Congress the oh
jections r gone over with minute
care lest a large and powerful
political interest may be antagoniz.
ed but the people generally make
up their minds in advance of Con.
gress. 1t we're pity if they did not.
This country has too much work
to do to be kept back by the so.
called conservatism of bankers. Sc
far as taking investment tips from
bankers it will be a long tire be.
fore those who bought Morgan re.
organization stocks on the recon-
mendation of bankers will buy
again on like recommendation. The
country has been wild.catteG from
top to bottom and it has recovered
except for a few cars. 1t knows
wildcats now by their claws and
sometimes it can remember tc
know them by sight.
This intermouDtain country will
be built up in the next 10 years
because it ill be profitable to dc
SO. Where there is a profit in work
the work will be done. Whether
there be a cry of nard times or
good times the people will not pay
so much attention to the bankers
as to actual conditions as they
themselves find them.-Reno Jour.

TWO BOYS.

Once upon time there were two
boys who were both ordinary fellows
as to intelligence and purpose. They
started out even to make their way
One stood straight, turned kind
smile on you, was quick, diligent, al
ways at work, and always in good
company. He is succeeding, making
good living and is always welcome
company among fine people.
The other boy began to loiter and
loaf, always searching for pleasure of
one kind or another, had dropped his
books, and it was not long when his
career began to sag. He is gradually
slipping down hill He has not the
frank, pleasant face of the other boy,
nor is he as alert and quick at his
work. He takes no more interest in
it than he has to. He would rather
smoke and joke.
The meaning of this story is that a
boy will always succeed, who stands
straight, looks you in the eye, is alert
and diligent at his work, and is never
quarreling with it. 1t is not SO with
the other boy. He fails, and finds
fault with his employer and society.
It never occurs TO him that he is to
blame.
