To my grandpa, William r. Swartz.
If l could be a sunbeam
I'd go at early dawn, and wake the
brides in their nests
And call Awake, tits morn"
I'd steal among the flowers
All shining with the dew
And kiss their petals open,
Now tell me, wouldn't you?
I'd rest upon the faces, of youths and
maidens fair
OF old folks, bent and withered, and
play with baby's hair
I'd creep upon the waters and dance
in happy glee,
Oh! I'd love to be a sunbeam, and
dance upon the sea.
But since I'm not a sunbeam, and
only g. child can be,
Something better I will do, than dance
upon the sea.
I'll be a living sunbeam, and steal In
broken hearts
And with the golden thread of love,
I'll mend. the broken parts.
I'll chase the frowns from other brows
with just sunny smile,
I'll brush the care from tear-wet ewes.

Direct Slap in the Face

1t may be possible to overestimate
the probable political effect of the
Democratic Senatorial primary in
New Jersey, but the triumph of Sem
ator MARITIME over Judge Wescott Is
none the less direct slap in the face
for the President administered by the
majority of his party in his own State.
1t is a reputation of his leadership in
a matter in which he essayed to lead,
deliberate rejection of his choice in
a matter which directly involves party
policy in State and nation.-Philadei-
phia Public Ledger.

HIS VIEWPOINT

One youngster said I'm cad and glad
And when / asked him why
His sadness and his gladness, he
Came back with this reply.
I'm sad beca use tomorrow
TO school must start once more
Just when the weather's nicer than
It's ever been before.
I'm glad because to picture shows
The kids onco more can go
What sense there was in closing them
To kids I'd like to know.
1t was all right to close the schools
Whore only children go
But, gee, one can't get sickness In

The month of June will witness the
second dedication of house of wor-
ship which has occurred in this city
since January, all plans having been
made for the formal opening of the
remodeled and renovated Baptist
church on East High street on Sun
day, June IS.
Members of the church are busily
engaged these days in rounding
things into shape for the event which
promises to be a red letter day in the
history of the church. Arrangements
are rapidly being completed and the
doors of the new church will be cere-
moniously opened on the morning of
June Is.
With the improvements which have
been in progress for many months,
the number of rooms in the church
has been brought up to SO. These
improvements have added the old
structure, known as the McIntire
building, to the church and ample
provision is thus made for Sunday
school classes, as the pastors study
room, the church Office and the boys
room will be located in the addition
The former two rooms are already
furnished.
About 800 people will be accommo-
dated by the additions which have
been made to the auditorium on the
second floor of the building This
has been greatly enlarged and a gal
on the ceiling for decorative purposes
and to obtain better acoustic proper
ties for the room.
The color tone of the auditorium is
a soft gray and the beauty has been
enhanced by number of hanging
lamps which give very dignifed and
stately appearance to the room
room which is meeting with the
appreciation of all who visit it is the
chapel which will be utilized for the
purpose of holding missionary society
meetings and also for mid.week pray
,er services. The room is quite large
and has an attractive brick fireplace.
Rev. G.. r. Dye, pastor of the
church, has in contemplation a little
plan which, If carried through, will at
tract many of the younger members
to the building. This is the installa-
tion OF a manual training room in the
basement of the church where the
boys will be privileged to go and en-
JOY themselves at stated times.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-A secret service investigation Is now being made by the United States to find out how Graves obtained the letters ad- dressed to Ambassador Bernstorff.
 It is not believed that the black mail is other than a subterfuge to cover up and obscure the real use to which the stolen dispatches were put.
 There now appears to be serious possibility that this matter will con- front the administration with lnterna- tional issues of grave import.
 It is reported that informal ques- toins have been put to high officials of the British embassy and consular service relative to hte stolen messages and their relations to the British goT- ernment.

 WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-Adminis tration leaders have been in consulta. ton several days in regard to various aspects of the recent election.
 IL is now announced that their plans in certain matters have been agreed on.
 An investigation of the methods of the republican national committee and subsidiary committees will be made when congress convenes in Decem Der The matter will be introduced in the senate.
 It is charged that the republican managers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars Illegally in the conduct of the national campaign. Most of this money was spent east of the MissIs- sippi river and 1t is charged resulted in the election of republican senators and representatives who are not en- titled to seats.
 The administration leaders claim that the republican national commit tee collected no less than three mil lion dollars from Wall street alone to say nothing of the great interests throughout the country which were called on for large contributions.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Armgaads Karl Graves, who was arrested Satur- day on charge of blackmail pro- fesses to find in the charge against him a retaliation on the part of Ger many for his writings exposing the secret service methods of that country. He styles himself an international spy who has served many countries In cluding Germany.
 He is charged with having attempted to blackmail Countess Von Bernstorff through the wording of some cipher disaptches he is said to have stolen which were on their way from Berlin to Ambassador Bernstorff
 The obscure wording of the code messages were construed by him to have reference to the countess nor als. and 1t is said that he conceived the idea of obtaining sums of money from her by agreeing to give up the presumed incfiminating documents.
 Before his arrest Graves had sur rounded himself with Q body guard as if to indicate that he expected to meet with bodily harm at the hands of unknown enemies,
 His spectacular performance was accepted on it's face value at first by the press but the general opinion now is expressed that he was too theatrical to be genuine. It is sup posed that the so-called attempted blackmail, the offer to hand over the papers if money were forthcoming, his body guard, his conduct under ar rest charging persecution by Germany and his previous record are all parts of deep laid plan to cover up the real issue of the stolen messages.
