Henley's Masterpiece.

William Ernest Henley, who died
July 80, 1908, wrote a poem consisting
of sixteen lines, that, whatever may be
come of the rest of his work, is likely
to last. 1t is this:
Out of the night that covers me.
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
/ thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul,
In the strong stress of circumstance
1 have not WINGED or cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed!
Beyond this vale of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the Shade.
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraidl
1t matters not how strait the gate,
How charged With punishments the
scroll,
| am the master of my fate,
| am the captain of my SOUL
These verses have been printed in
carry every newspaper that IS published
III English, and they have served as the
text for many a sermon. Like every
thing else of any consequence, they have
been thoroughly misunderstood. Certain
critics insist that they breathe forth
the spirit of paganism-if paganism
can be said to have a spirit - while
others regard them as the essence Of
hope. Somebody mentioned this poem
OF Henley's at a recent gathering OF
people who write. There were five men
IN the group. Two of them could re-
peat the lines from memory, one of them
had q clipping Of the poem in his
pocket, another had it in his scrapbook
and the fifth said:
4 know only the second and fourth
stanzas. Whenever | get to feeling that
the rewards here are worth the effort ]
repeat those eight lines to myself. They
/ have nefer failed to tone me up. tC
make me feel ashamed of my weakness
/ | have been delighted with much OF
Robert Louis Stevenson s work, and
regard him as one of the greatest liter
airy men We have had for good many
years, but | don t think he has giveT
us anything as good as that sou

THE MAKING OF A FAMOUS
MEDICINE.

Few people realize that over $4,000
pounds Of various herbs are used an
nually in making lydia E. Pinkham s
Vegetable Compound, and these herbs
all have to be gathered at the season
Of the year when their medicinal prop
critics are at their best.
The, watchword in preparing these
herbs is cleanliness, the process of
percolation is perfect. All utensils
and tanks are sterilized and the medi-
cine is pasteurized, clarified and fl
tered before il is bottled for the con
sumner.
It is this wonderful combination OF
herbs, together with the skill and care
used IN the. preparation, which has
made this famous medicine 50 success
ful in the treatment OF female Ills

optimist Gets Most out of Life.

The optimist has the power of Sec
ing things in their entirety and in their
right relations. The pessimist looks
from a limited and one-sided point
of view. The one has his understand
ing illuminated by wisdom, the under
standing of the other is darkened by
ignorance. Each is building his world
from within, and the result of the
building is determined by the point of
view of each. The optimist, by his su-
perior wisdom and insight, is making
his own heaven, and in the degree
that he makes his own heaven is he
helping to make one for all the world
besides.

SHARP DENOUNCES
GERMAN VANDALISM
American Ambassador to Paris
Sends indictment of Kaiser's
e Frightfuiness.

A severe Indictment of German fright
fulness and wantonness IN laying waste
to occupied portions of France. in their
retirement before the British and French
advance. is made in telegraphic re-
port 10 the State Department from AM
bassador Sharp today.
..Mr. Sharp.s report tells Of the great
distress which prevails throughout these
districts because OF the very wanton-
ness OF the retreating army in carrying
out the destruction OF everything which
would contribute to the bare existence
of the population" says a statement IS
sued by Secretary Lansing.
"In the houses every article OF FUR.
niture was either. destroyed or car
ried away. In many places buildings
themselves were not actually destroy
ed but there was manifest system
attic program OF destroying or,femoy-
ing every door and every window
frame In this way. where lack OF
time had prevented the destruction
of the roof overhead the houses had
been rendered' utterly useless in an
unusually severe stFess Of weather.

ALBANY, April 1s.-Plans to have
inmates of Sing Sing prison manu-
facture wearing apparel ,for the
United States army are being worked

way for turning out army rush orders
the mat shop work is to be transfer

thousands of dollars worth of good
machinery will have to be discarded.

which was defeated today. and urged
him to line. up for the selective draft.
1t became apparent at a meeting ~
the House Committee on Military AT
fairs last night that the Adninistra-
Stion was gradually gaining ground, =,
and the report of the army bill, with
its conscription provision, was felt to
be almost assured. = ~
Secretary Baker appeared before
the committee last night and again
made plain the intent of the Adminis
tration to stand out for the selectiye
draft. Late in the afternoon Presi-
dent Wilson conferred with Chair
man Dent, of the House committee,
and Minority Leader Mann and Con-
gressman Lenroot, two OF the Repub-
lican chiefs in the House: The firm
position OF the Administration was
emphasized at all these conferences.
Last night it appeared that the
only important change to be made in
the House bill by the Military Com
mittee would relate to. the ages of
the men to be drafted. Up to last
night the committee undnestfonably
had been inmical to the -Administra-
ton bill.
Substitute ConscriptIon Plan. -
Insteadsof a draft of men between
the ages of nineteen and twenty-five.

should be needed the ages Of those
drafted for military service will be
between forty-three- and forty-etght.

which has won out on all the funda-

The Secretary of War agreed to

a further conference and free discus
