CURIOSITY.

Within the wondrous wilderness,
If you will come with me,
You ii meet an ugly giantess
Called Curiosity;
Her neck is fifty cubits long,
And plant like hose;
A horrible, sharp pointed prong
Does service as her nose.
Her body's shaped-'twill cause
surprise
just like question mark,
And with two little gimlet eyes
Shee sees when it's pitch dark;
She towers above the trees so tall
When upright she doth stand,
Like gentle Alice, you'll recall,
In haunted Wonderland.
A lovely child she once was, at
The age Of Eta May;
She poked her nose in matters that
Concerned her in no way;
So, mind your own affairs, nor let
Your prying self o'erdo,
Lest curiosity should get
The best, some day, of you.

CONFINEMENT.

In the great town of Lifeopolis
Whereboth the rich and poor
Rub elbows; where the great and small
Converge, caught by the lure
There stands a monumental shrine
Known as the Hall of Fame,
And those who dare it's portals fair
May win an honored name.
Upon the heights the temple stands;
The stairway to this hall
Is built of Excellence and Worth
And yet, how many fall!
Many of humble birth arrive
While some of noble caste
Make for the prize 10 sacrifice,
And failure meet at last.
Some reach the gateway unannounced
Unrecognized, unknown
And wait until Posterity
Their tardy honors own;
But others seek a humble manse
Where written on the door
You read in gold these letters bold -
Contment-and no more.

"You who before God and man are
charged with the grave responsibility
of peace and war, listen to our
prayer, listen to the fatherly voice of
the Vicar of the Eternal and Supreme
Judge to whom you should give account
of your public works as well as private
actions.
Terrible Heritage of Hate.
cit cannot be said that the immense
conflict cannot be ended without vio-
lence of arms. May this course for
destruction be abandoned; nations do
not perish. Inundated and oppressed,
they tremblingly carry the yoke i'm
posed on them and prepare their re-
venge, transmitting from generation
to generation a sorrowful heritage Of
hate and vengeance.
"Why not now weigh with serene
conscience the rights and just aspira-
tions of the peopless Why not start
with good will direct or indirect
exchange Of views with the object of
considering as far as possible these
rights and aspirations and thus put to
an end the terrible combats
Blessed be he who first extend the
olive branch and tenders his hand to
the enemy in offering him reasonable
conditions of peace.
tThe equilibrium Of world progress
and the security and tranquility of ma
lions repose on mutual we'll being and
respect Of the right and dignity of
others, more than on the number of
armies and formidable zone of fort
resses.
City Of Peace.
It is the cry Of peace which issues
from our supreme soul this sad day
and which invites the true friends of
peace in the world to extend their
hand to hasten the end of war which
for year has transformed Europe into
an enormous battlefield.
"May Jesus, in His pity, by the in
termediary of the Mother of sorrows,
end the terrible tempest and cause to
arise radiant dawn and the quietude
of peace formed in His own divine
image. May hymns of thanks to the
Most High, author Of all good things
soon resound.
"Let us hope for the reconciliation
of the states. May the people once
again become brothers and return to
their peaceful labor in arts, learning
and industry. May once again the
empire of justice be established May
people decide henceforth to confine
the solution of their differences no
longer to the sword but to courts of
justice and equity, where the ques-
tions may be studied with necessary
calm and thought.
'This will be the most beautiful and
glorious victory. In confidence that
the tree of peace will soon allow the
world to enjoy again its fruits which
are so much to be desired we bestow
our apostolic benediction upon all
those who do not yet belong to the
Roman church. We pray the Holy
Father to unite Himself to us by bonds
of perfect charity

state shared in excess, although the
northeast counties receive the small
est precipitation of any part of the
state, aud the southwestern the great
est. In the latter region an average
of nearly four inches occurred, an ex-
cess of more than two and one-half
inches. Central and southern coun.
ties were all greatly in excess of the
normtl. On the other hand, central
and eastern Colfax, Mora, San Mi
guel and Union counties barely ex-
ceeded the normal, averaging about
one-half inch Of precipitation for the
month. Rather extensive flood dam
