Who dreams shall live! And if we do
not dream
Then we shall build no Temple into

Yon dust cloud, whirling slow against
the sun,
Was yesterdays cathedral, stirred to
By hesdiess footsteps Of treaasng
world.
The faiths of stone and steel are
failed of proof.
The King who made religion Of a
Sword.
Passes. and is forgotten in day.
The crown he wore rots at ily's
root,
The rose 1nfurls her banners DER his
dust.
The dreamer dies, but never dies the
dream,
Though Death shall call the whirl-
wind to his aid,
Enlist mems passions, trick their
hearts with hate.
StiIl shall the Vision livei Say never
That dreams are fragile things. What
else endures
OF all this broken word save only
dreams!

DEALING WITH ANARCHISTS.

The alleged attempt by anarchists
to blow up St Patrfck's cathedral in
New York is one of the morbid cpl
sodes of modern life that seem to-
grow more and more frequent.
Is the anarchist an insane person,
who should be put in a, lunatic asy-
luTn; or is he a criminal, who
should be dubbed by the police and
jailed; or is he an American citizen,
to be given free rein to express his
views indefinitely from his soap
box:
result in riots, destruction OF prop
erty, ard loss of life. Yet the spread
of Ideas can't be stopped by break
ing up mass meetings. The vfIer and
more poisonous the ideas, the quicker
their eoEtagton. The man whose
mouth has been stopped takes his
black words to the little printer in
some obscure basement, and soon his
foul story is passing from hand to
hand
If you want an explosion, the way
to get it is to have a man sit on the
safety valve. Allow it a little vent,
and the room may fill disagreeably
with steam, but the boiler is safe.
Normal American life turns out
few anarchists. It is the newly ar
rived alien whose mind was warped
and twisted by the typrannfes and
whose normal poise gives way. Often
it must be the reaction from too
glowing hopes of America. He comes
expecting to find a Canaan of milk
and honey, where work is easy,
money free, and Justice ideal He
finds the same old evils Of human
nature to some extent. When the
dream fades, something goes wrong
in his head
Talk is cheap. It often does harm,
tions. The ta1ker gets lots of salts
faction from hearing himself
crate, which may compensate him
for some disappointments. Where
a direct attempt at crime is found,
as appears to have been the case in
New York, the guilty parties should
be sternly punished. But it IS usual
ly wise for the police not to NEEDLE
too much with mere street corner
talk.

what man with the bounding blood
of youth in his veins will look upon
the falling snow with a sigh on his
bps? Instead, it brings a. smile and
a warm glow to his heart. Before him
are visions of sleigh rides, with the
girl he loves best sitting by his side
To the bashfu1 young man such a
pleasure means much He would new
er think of being SO bold as to take
seat by the girl on sofa. But in a
sleigh she cannot be arms length
away from him.
He can have her all to himself, with
out the annoyance of having a third
party about. Her cousins and her
aunts cannot expect an invitation to
accompany him as his cutter holds
but two and, perforce, they must sit
snugIy together at that. What de-
light to whirI over the country road,
with the air just keen enough to bring
the roses to their cheeks and to ex-
hilarate their spirits. Even the horse
is on his nettle and fairly flies over,

has a sleigh or can rig up anything
on runners to look like one wouldn't
miss his sleigh ride with his dearie on
a bright, starry, moonlight night.
