An so today. IN looking back on thu

There's just one most important thing o.
'chich ! toish to speak;
An tohilc upon the circumstance sit me
dotcn to brood
The heart t0ithin me stoeHs an sings
tcith deepest gratitude,
That after our experience not one Of US
Is dead
For Mother started IN the tCeel by hing
sick IN bed:
An 'ohen that great calamity upon our
house Is poured
The only thing that sdves us Is the mercv
Of the Lordl
The cook had found another place an
left as 1cithout todrnino,
An Mother loorked herself into "bredk'
bv Tuesday morning,
An there zoe 1oere, the lot Of us, as help
less as you please.
While all the household cares began to
Stcdrm around Ike feds
There 1cds the huckster to be seen, the
nHkmdn TO be paid,
The dishes aodshed, the Kitchen stUept,
some eight beds to be mdde,-
We made a mess Of everything an
0rotCIed an fused an rodred;
An the only thing that saved us ious the
mercy Of the Lord.
Notc, daughter had experience IN making
chocolate candy,
An myself at boiling things had often
proUen handy,
An Sonny kneto a trick or ttDo toith
lemons, so you see
The cooking of the dinner Just deUolved
upon US three.
We called the children round as an then
rose an prayed
That He 1could bless our cabbage, choc'-
late fudge an lemonade
Oh, Terror perched upon our roof an
Famine ruled our board,
An the only thing that sdUed as IDds the
mercy of the Lord.
So noto that it's Saturday an all that
troubles through,
I much prefer to sit an let the Sceek

Than run about on Chestnut street to

Intelligent preparation for the crisis
which is sure to be upon us when peace
comes. He urged the adoption Of some
policy for bringing about a friendly ad-

a way as to avoid a trade war. In view
OF the evident purpose OF the belligerents
TO create determinations against neutral
Powers In their efforts to conserve their
own resources.
The councils special committee on
the foreign trade aspect OF the tariff
recommended a policy similar TO that
which Mckinley discussed IN his famous
last speech at Buffalo, which looked 10

facilitating that international exchange
OF commodities without which In normal
times there can be no successful export
trade The council adopted a reso.
