Somehow Good.

Oh, yet we trust that somehow good "
Will be the final goal Of i'll,
To pangs of nature, sins Of will,
Defects of doubt and taints of blood:
That nothing walks with aimlesS feet,
That no one life shall be destroyed
Or cast as rubbish to the void
When God hath made the pile complete:
That not a worm is cloven in vain,
That not a moth with vain desire
Is shriveled in fruitless fire
Or but subserve anothers gain.
Behold. we know not anything.
/ can but trust that good shall fall
At last faroff-at last to all
And every winter change to spring.
So runs my dream. But what am I?
An infant crying In the night,
An infant crying for the light,
And with no language but a cry.

Fitted In Nicely.

There was no mistake about it, the
Judge was asleep. The embarrassed
lawyer, who had reached the telling
point Of his argument, spoke In high
er key and then raised his voice until
the walls of the room reverberated.
But the judge slept on.
The court officers were blind to the
young lawyers hints At last In des-
peration he turned to his opponent
"Now, Mr.. Grubber, you see the del
icate situation / am In, and there's
only one way out Unfortunately l
haven't any books with me, but IL you
don't mind I am going to knock over
that pile Of yours"
With a well directed gesture the
young lawyer struck the books, and
they, as well as the chair on which
they had been standing. went down
with a terrific crash just as his aston
ished opponent leaped to his feet and
exclaimed:

Only on Approval.

At the Wednesday evening service in
the church pdriOrs in certain New
York parish the minister chose honesty
for the subject of his brief discourse
In less than q quarter of an hour he
found time to lambaste nearly every
body who had ever deviated from the
narrow path, but he was particularly
hard on those persons who order
things ON approval. After the sermon
everybody enjoyed himself socially.
There were some big guns there from
other parishes, and the parlors had
been done up especially for the even
ing There were two lovely new red
velvet chairs that the minister found
particularly comfortable. He compli-
mented the head of the furnishing
committee on her thrift and taste.
On Friday evening there was an
other meeting in the parlors. The min
lister looked around first thing for those
velvet chairs.
What have you done with them,
Mrs Blank?" he said to the head Of
the committee.
"Oh," said she serenely, they went
back yesterday! The furniture store
Just sent them up for Wednesday night

ADVISES UNION OF AMERICAS
senator BOrah Holds Such Alliance
Superior to Treaties.

/ Boise, Idaho, June 3.-United States
senator William E. Borah favors g
union OF all American countries tt
protect the rights of neutrals, rathe,
tnan nation of all neutral nations
lor their protection in the European
conflict. In reply to telegram to the
New York American, Idahos Senio,
senator, who is a member of the for
elgn relations commission of the Unit
ed States senate, so states. The query
OF the American follows:
do you favor a union of all Ameri-
can countries to protect the rights of
neutrals in the European war? Do Won
think such union should be con-
1lned to North and South America
alone, or should it include other or all
neutral nations?'
senator Borah replied as follows:
would be disposed to favor a
union Oh all american countries to
protect the rights of neutrals, rather
than union with all neutral ma
uons. 1t seems to me that we could
accomplish this and protect our rights
1ully through the action of American
countries alone, and if SO l would
much prefer such action rather than
10 nave any closer alliance or rela-
tlonshlp with any phase of the Euro
pean situation. hope to see the time
when the American continent. north
and south, shall realize that 1t has in
terests distinct from those of Europe,
and every effort should be made to
BRING us into closer and more united
But certainly we should
40 something. With our commerce
practically driven from the seas. with
rights of American citizens utterly
gnored IN Mexico and with the open
loot belng gradually closed in the
orient, 1T seems imperative that we
should take some positive action in
hese matters.
