The Spirit came in childhood
And pleaded, Let me in"
But, ali, the door was bolted
And barred with childish sin.
The child said. Inns too little;
There's time enough, today
cannot open," sadly
The Spirit turned away.
Again He came and pleaded
IL youths bright happy hour,
He called but heard no whisper,
For fettered in sins power,
The youth lay dreaming idly,
And crying, mot today;
For l must have some pleasure"
Again he turned away.
Again He came in mercy
In, manhood's vigorous prime;
But still could find no welcome
The merchant had mo time"
To spare for true repentance,
No time to praise and pray;
And thus repulsed and saddened,
The Spirit turned away.
Once more He called and awaited,
The man was old and sal;
He scarcely heard the whisper,
His heart was scared and bad,
60 leave me. When I need Thee
I'll call for Thee" he cried;
Then sinking on his pillow,
Without God he died.

Employes in many lines of industry who are on the best of terms with their employees have presented the ease to their people in such light that the workers no longer regard the doubtful grievances of ear men ae sufficient reason to plunge the business of the city into the turmoil of a general industrial strike.
 Labor leaders of the imfammatory and self important type still maintain that the strike will take place as pre- dcted and that it will be on a large scale. They predict that business throughout the city will be suspended and conditions will be such that the traction magnates will be forced 10 yield 10 inc demands of the men.

 FL PASO, Sept. 26,-Alarming re- ports are current that the American troops under command of General Pershing are in imminent danger of extermination.
 Statements to this effect are made by men who have recently come from Chihuahua. Military officers have nothing to say on the subject but it is noticed that there is unsual activity in the army
 General Pershing's forces are in Mexico not less than sixty miles from the border. It is understood that he has taken extraordinary precautions to avoid a surprise attack since the cut ting up and capture of two companies of cavalry of his command by the Car ranzstas.
 In spite of the confidence felt here in Pershing's caution and the ability of his little force to protect themselves, apprehension is felt as to their safety and the genral feeling is that a relief party will soon be sent to join Persh ing.

 NEW YORK, Sept. Defections in the ranks of the labor unions which a week ago voted to go on general industrial strike still continue and il is very doubtful whether the walkout ordered for tomorrow will occur. If it does it will almost certainly fail to demonstrate any wide sympathy on the part of labor with the striking street car men.
 The rioting by half drunken strikers and their complete disregard of au- thority is the cause in part of the growing dcfection. Further influences were Mayor Mitehelfs threat that he will keep the strikers within bounds by calling out the state militia, and also the figures which have been pre- sented to the workers of their certain
