in short time. The open places in the
ranks of the Sd Infantry are rapidly be-
ing closed. and every company probably
will have its full quota before the end

1--WE would be reminded that the
Virginia convention Of the National

lie an occasion OF quickening and pow
er only as Christ shall Re felt III its
fellowship and conduct. Let us &C.
knowledge his Lordship in our prep

manifestation of it in all sessions Of
the convention.
"To this end let us covenant to bear
the convention in mind in our daily
devotions and make it a prominent
object of intercession in our midW eek
and Sabbath services"
These subjects for prayer have been
suggested:
For the whole Undertaking.
For the Mission Boards.
For the City of Richmond and
Other Convention Cities.
For the Delegates.
For the Speakers.
For the Churches.
For the Spread of the Spirit of
Prayer
Those who are at the head of this
great nterdenominational movement
feel that the opportunities and also
the difficulties of so great an under
taking constitute an unusual challenge
to faith AMI prayer. More important
than all other means Of preparation
is the enlistment Of a large number
of intercessors, who with unclouded
vision of Christ, unsuitable faith in
God and unweariel persistence, will
unite in prayer that the campaign
\ may help to inspire America to full
fill her mission of service to mankind.

FAMOUS OLD Fnnsa>ATE
CONSTITUTION THE PRIDE OF
THE AMERICAN NAVY.
Launched In October, 1897, "OId Iron
sides" Figured With Glory in the
Early Struggles Attending the
Republics Birth.

The most famous vessel in the his
tory of the United States navy is the
Constitution, popularity called "Old
Ironsides," and originally a 44-gun
frigate. She was launched October q,
1897, at Boston, but was not completed
until the following year, when she put
to sea under command Of Captain
Nicholson for service again the French
in the West Indies.
During the war with Tripoli 1901
05, the Constitution was Preble's flag
/ ship, and in 1905 took part in three of
the five bombardments Of the port Of
Tripoli. In July, 1872, under command
of Isaac Hull, she escaped from Brit
ish squadron off the New Jersey coast
after a spirited chase of three days.
On August 10, off Cape Race, she
fought her famous battle with the
Guerrero, somewhat weaker English
frigate, commanded by Captain Da-
ores, which she left a total wreck after
an engagement of 80 minutes, the
English losing 70 of their crew and
the Americans IA. On December 20,
under command of Captain cambridge,
the Constitution captured off Bahia,
Brazil, the Java (3S guns; Captain
Lambert), after an engagement last
ing two hours, in which the British
lost 800 killed and wounded and the
Americans "a.
On February IA, 1914, under Captain
Stewart, the Constitution captured the
Picton, 16 guns and a convoy, in the
West Indies. On February 20, 1914,
she took the Cyane, 81 guns, and the
Levant, Is guns; after a fierce en-
gagement, remarkable for the seaman
ship Of the Americans and the gallan-
try of the English, between the Ma
deira islands and the Gibraltar. The
English lost 10 killed and AZ wounded
out of 800, and the Americans killed
and 8 wounded out of 451. Soon after
ward the Constitution was pursued by
strong British squadron, which re-
captured the Levant.
Between 1928 and 1880 the Constitu-
tion was reported unseaworthy and or
dered to be dismantled, but was re-
turned in Difference to the popular
sentiment aroused by Holmes poem,
"Old Ironsides," and in 1888 was re-
built. In 1856 she was laid up at the
Portsmouth navy yard, but used at
times as training ship. In 1877 she
was again partially rebuilt, and the
next year crossed the Atlantic for the
last time. In 1897 she was rooted in
at the Boston navy yard and has since
been used mainly as barrack ship.

LOWELE'S TRIBUTE TO RILEY
Older Poet Quick to Recognize the
Genius Shown by Youthful
Man of Letters.

Shortly after the return Of James
Russell Lowell from England series
of authors readings were given in
New York at which the returning
ambassador and poet presided. James
Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, had
a place on the second program.
On the morning of the day of the
reading Mr.. Lowell met friend in
one Of the passages leading to the
hall.
He stopped him and said: why
have l not heard more of Riley? Tell
me all you know about him. | sat up
until two o'clock this morning reading
his verse, and nothing that has been
written in this country for years has
touched me so deeply as Knee Deep

Coming back from his long absence
to the New England he loved, eager
for the wild flowers and for the songs
of the birds of his old home, the old
er poet of the older section under

When Lofts, seated at his desk in
his office in the little Indian town
where he was deputy magistrate,
looked up to see his trusted orderly,
Ram Singh, covering him with re-
volver, his first idea was that the heat
had affected his brain. His second,
which was the correct one, was that
the long-expected mutiny had broken
out at last.
Ram Singh spoke with quiet DELHI
Grafton. Your time has come, Sahib.
Will you pledge me your Sahibs word
to come quietly outside, where the
Rajah awaits you? Or must l shoot
the Sahib?"
Lofts understood the alternative.
1t was sudden death without torture,
or slow death plus torture. Person
ally he preferred the former. But as
the sole representative of British pow
er within a radius of seventy miles,
he conceived the idea that it was his
duty to be game to the last, and, look
ing up, he saw that Ram Singh had
formed the same opinion concerning
his intentions.
Lofts walked quietly out Of his Of

drawn up outside the office. Among
them, reclining in his palanquin, was
the Rajah.
Lofts had known the Rajah for
three years. The Rajah was an up
to-date ruler, with palace mile
away, brilliantly Illuminated by cleo
tricity, and full of electrical devices,
Photographs, moving-picture appar-

SMILE BRINGS CUSTOM
PLEASANT FACE ALWAYS AN AS
SET IN BUSINESS.
Experiments Also Have Shown That
Joy Stimulates All the Bodily
Functions, Especially the Cir
&: culation Of Blood to Brain.

( There is a Chinese proverb which
should be memorized and taken to
heart by every young man starting on
a business career, says H. Addington
Bruce.
1t is short and easily remembered.
Here it is:
"A man without a smiling face must
not open shop"
Applied specifically to the business
of shopkeeping the little proverb may
be applied with equal force to almost
every vocation in which a man
can engage.
In one particularly interesting set
Of experiments man was required to
press a spring until fatigue paralyzed
his finger. This was repeated at in
tervals in order to determine definite
ly the average number of pressures
he could make at single sitting.
Then he was required to press the
spring while thinking of something
extremely sad. At once his average
pressure power was noticeably low.
cred.
Whereas when he allowed his mind
to dwell on exceptionally pleasing
thoughts he was able to press the
spring far oftener than when his mind
was occupied with nothing in par
.ticular.
Other experiments have proved that
joy stimulates all the bodily func-
lions and stimulates especially the
circulation Of blood in the brain, with
resultant improvement in the ability
to think rapidly and clearly.
Accordingly joy must be regarded
as body builder and mind developer
of the first order. If only for this
reason the man about to engage in
business should cultivate the habit of
happiness.
But joy does more than this. If it
is tonic that helps a man to carry
on his business more efficiently, it is
also a magnet that draws to him
more business wherewith to demon.
strate his efficiency.
Everybody is attracted by a smil-
ing face, and especially by the smil-
ing face that speaks eloquently of
inward joy and selfconfidence. Every
body is repealed by the gloomy coun-
tenance that testities to self-distrust,
and hints at present or expected fail
ure.
In the one case people unconscious
ly say to themselves:
Here is forceful, capable, genial
fellow. 1t will be pleasurable and safe
to do business with him. He can evil
IDENTIFY make good his promises"
In the other case their unconscious
comment is:
There is something wrong with
this man. Best keep away"
Gloom, to put it tamely, is a mar.
velous business killer. Joy is an
equally marvellous business winner

Discussing the law against aigrettes
with a group of actresses in New
York, Douglas Fairbanks said:
81 agree with you. When the
aigrettes are extracted painlessly
from the living bird-which, you say
is the new method-then this law
against them becomes absurd.
1T is like the girl at the shore
who was a great bird lover. A man
said of her:
GA great bird lover, but she carries
the thing too far. She refused to
take a moonlight row with me the
other night because someone told her
that I feathered my oars.
