OUR ONE LIFE
IT'S not for man to trifle! Life is brief,
And sin is here.
Our age is but the falling of a leaf,
A dropping tear.
We have no time TO sport away the
hours,
All must be earnest in world like ours
Not many lives, but only one. have We
One, only one;
How sacred should that one life ever be-
That narrow span!
Day after day filled up with blessed toll
Hour after hour bringing in new spoil.
Our being is no shadow of thin air,
No vacant dream,
No fable of the things that never were
But only seem.
'Tis full of meaning as of mystery,
Though strange and solemn may tina
meaning be.
Our sorrows are no phantom of tn
No idle tale;
No cloud that floats along a sky of ligh
On summer gale.
They are the true realisties of earth
Friends and companions even from on
birth.
o life 'below-how brief, and poor, ant
sad
One heavy sigh.
Q life above-how long, how fair, ant
glad!
An edleSs joy.
oh, to be done with daily dying here
Oh. to begin the living in yon sphere!
o day of time, how dark! sky an,
earth,
How dull your hue
0 day of Christ, how bright! 0 sky ant
earth,
Made fair and new.
Come. better Eden, with thy freshe
green;
Come, brighter Salem, gladden. all tn

THE SHOE PROBLEM.

When the United States feet visited
Japan more than fifty years ago, our

an official way. the Japs had no shoes
except those made of grass or wood. AS
late as 1898 there was but one factory
within the limits of Japan where leather
shoes were made. China is further be-
hind than the energetic and initiative

dependence this country, and / saw the
Chinese and Jap visitors, who came over
to see the people of the New World. inc
Chinese chung to their native costumes
shoes and all The JapS readily adopted
the western styles in dress and equip
ment. They were dandy little fellows
and they attended everything thereafter.
In old Europe the peasantry have al
ways worn wooden shoes because leath-
er shoes came high. 1t will be no extra
hardship to the war-stricken ones to con-
tinue to wear wooden shoes. but the
United States has hitherto been able to
nut good leather shoes on our people.
The live stock industry has been aw-
fully crippled by selling off all extra
cattle, and the high price of meat ana
leather has induced traders to sell off
the stock that was greatly needed to
keep enough in this country to equip IL
again after the war is over.
Therefore, the shoe problem is abIged
to become a strenuous one for this coun-

and ask myself, where shall I find an
other pair like them when they are

out. Shall we be forced to wear wooden
shoes in America and grass shoes, such
as they wear in Japan?

statements which may be interesting to
Semi-Weekly readers. These articles
are written to arouse our interest in
shipbuilding. After saying that the full
power of the nations life must be
thrown into the building of ships, the
editor says: 80 great has been the de-
struction of the worlds shippinS-so
great is the depreciation of the shipping

the coastwise trade and to relieve the
pressure upon the railroads., in order
that the railroads may handle the war
freight and the war travel which will
be thrown upon them. We must build
ships for the Pacific coast trade, and
also for the lake trade in order to pro-
vide ore to run the furnaces, now ham
pered by the shortage of ore. No time
is to be lost Every hours delay en-
dangers our very existence"
These are stirring words. And we

tion.
Rasputin Harbors Ambitions.
The knowledge that such was the
case. and that his sO-called influence sE-
listed mostly in the imagination of the
people who spoke about il. worried Ras-
putin. Though he dictated to ministers
his will. though he decided together
with them more than one important
matter. yet he felt that there was n.
flaw in the edifice of his fortune, and
that this flaw consisted in the fact that
the sovereign did not share the feeling
of reverence with the Russian nation,
as the prophet battered himself was
the case, experienced for his person and
for his teachings. This was. what tor
mented him. and he spent the whole
time thinking how il might become pos
sibIe TO put in the place of Mr.. Goremy-
kline another prime minister more ready
10 enter into his views, and to follow
his advice in regard TO matters OF state.
This the then president of council, IN
spite OF his Difference for Rasputia,
had refused to do. preferring 10 discuss
the affairs of the government alone
with the emperor, without any Interior
snce OF the former.
Rasputin spoke of his wishes to some
of his confidants, and even mentioned
ladies who formed the best bulk of his
clientele" These entered into his views
with alacrity. the more so as he devel
Oped them in a pathetic tone, which ap-
pealed to their feelings of patriotism"
They would have given much to be able
10 help him, but they did not very well
anow how this was TO be done. This
was due to the sad fact that they had
no one under their hand. The uneX-
pected and sudden death of Count White,
which had occurred in the meanwhile,
removed the only person whom they
could suggest as a candidate for the
functions of prime minister. All those
whose names might have been mentioned
as fit individuals for the post. such as
Mr. Eriwoscheine for instance, were peo-
PIE who would. with a greater energy
even than Mr.. Goremykine had ever dis
played. oppose any Interference of Ras-
putin into the conduct of the govern
ment. Their perplexity might have last
ed long time if providence, in the
shape Of Mr.. Manussewitsch Maniuloff,
had not interfered in their favor. and
