DR.. Washington GLADDEN., who has inst died.
DR.. GLADDEN. was a Congregational minister of
Columbus O.
o land of lands, my Fatherland, the beauti-
full, the free,
All lands and shores to freedom dear are
ever dear to thee:
All sons of Freedom hail thy name. and
wait thy word of might,
While round the world the lists are Joined
for liberty and light.
Hail sons of France, old comrades dear!
Hail Britons brave and true!
Hail Belgian martyrs ringed with flannel
Slavs fired with visions new!
Italian lovers mailed with light! Dark
brothers from Japan!
From east to west all lands are kin who live
for God and man.
Now, hands all round, our troth we plight
to rid the world of lies.
To fill our hearts with truth and trust and
willing sacrifice;
To free all lands from hate and spite and
fear from strand to strand;
To make all nations neighbors and the world
one Fatherland!

A Bumper Crop

A Kansas man was speaking of the pro-
pensity of some farmers to overstate the size
of their wheat crops. A farmer who was
always giving skillfully padded accounts OF
his wheat harvest, called on a Topeka hard
ware dealer one day, and began his usual
Boosting.
"You don't tell me' was the polite re-
joinder of the hardware man. "Well, l
have been doing some farming this year
myself"
81 didn't know that said the farmer.
81 always supposed your interests were con-
fined to the city. So you have farm, Ell!
What do you raiser"
"Wheat, just wheat" was the reply.
"Good crop this year,"
"Fine!''
Chow many bushels?''
81 don't know just how many bushels, -
replied the hardware man, in slow. hest
tating tone, calculated to impress every
word upon his listener; ''but my men stack
ed all they could out doors, and then stored
the rest of it in the barns. '-Selscted.

Belief

Who doubts his Immortality is blind,
He sees alone the product of mans mind
The mighty engines and aeroplanes,
The towers and the human-fngered cranes,
The magic wire that trembles with his
breath
A span of work and joy, then endless deaths
To him the harvest fields of golden corn
Are but the bounteous dollars yet unborn;
The thunderous message of the waterfall
Is bnzzing wheels and shuttles, held in
thrall;
The light of day, the night, all silver starred.
Are crowded hours to use till life is barred
But he who feels far down within his heart
The Conscious Will of which he is a part,
Sees trembling light W it'll all life essence
stirred;
Hears his own prayer in every singing bird !;
Knows that the wind is but the breath of
Singing across the land; knows that the sod
Vibrates with whispers of eternal growth,
Of endless life and death, and all in both;
Knows that the beat of time and stretch of
space
Are but the measures of his spirits pace;
Knows that Gods purpose swings from SUN
to sun,
And All in universal life is One.

Mad Monk Iliodor
Continued from page one.)

appears to have been the old contest between
two Saints
Rasputin was victorious and orders were
issued for Iliodor's Punishment from Tsari-
tzin. He did not meekly submit. He had a
few friends among the bishops and thousands
among the people, so he tramped through
Russia on foot calling the people to his sup
port. Slipping back into Tsaritzin he
gathered force of four thousand and in the
underground chambers which they had pre-
pared withstood asiege of twenty days. In
the end he was taken and confined at Fort
schev, while some of his followers were
brutality murdered in his monaster by order
of the Holy Synod. Failing in his efforts
to discredit Rasputin with the car and the
synod he resigned his Office of pope, I'M
frocked himself. Eventually he escaped
from his prison and lived two years in Chris
tiana. While in this city he was approach
ed by some Russian state dignitaries as the
only man in the world who could secure
assassins for Rasputin. He agreed, for a
consideration. but this second attempt on
the life of Rasputin also proved unsuccessful.
And then he came to America. bringing
with him his version of contemporary Rus
sian history. Many American readers will
recall the famboyant announcement made
by a radical magazine. couple of years
ago, of forthcoming sensational regulations
concerning Rasputin and the Russian court.
They will also recall that these revelations
were never made. Sergei Michailovich
Trufanof -Iliodor-now reveals how and
why they were withheld. He had been
working with representative of the maya
zine for three months when he was approach
ed by the Russian foreign Office with an
offer of $25, 900 to withdraw the book. They
gave him ST, 900 as earnest of good faith,
but never paid him another cent; and they
did secure the suppression of the article.
Then the Russian foreign Office appealed to
the British foreign office for aid in punish
ing the traitorous lliodor, which aid the
British foreign office willingly gave. That
is, it gave it until convinced that Rasputin
was working for a seperate German peace,
whereupon Iliodor's MS. was given care
full reading and the present book is the
result.

While cannons roar and thunder far across

And while she sits and wonders where her

He is somewhere in the trenches for France

But thro' her tears today | see her smile

When the Fatherland has Boston beans for
breakfast ev'ry day
Then I'll come back to you.
When they change ''Under the Linden"
and rechristen it Broadway,
Then I'll come back to you.
When the Stars and Stripes are flying from
each castle on the Rhine
And German bands are playing Yankee
Doodle in ragtime
And the Kaiser tells his people Uncle Sam S
friend of mine,
Then I'll come back to you,
When the German Riddles dress their dolls
like dear old Uncle Sam,
Then ii come back to YOU
And when Wilson's picture hangs inside
the Palace in Potsdam,
Then I'll come back to you.
When our brave Sammie boys have called
their big, gigantic bluff
And canned their German kultur, and their
rotten U-boat stuff
And the Kaiser says to Pershing, "Here' s
my sword, I've got enough"
Then I'll come back to you.
When our Yankee Tars have fought and
won the freedom of the sea,
And when Uncle Sam has made the "World
safe for Democracy"
Then I'll come back to you.
When Belgium has been restored, and freed
from German loot,
And that imperial ounce the Prince will
feel his daddys boot
And the Krupps will make their best big
gun Old Glory to salute,
Then I'll come back to you.
When we've painted all of Germany deep
Red, White and Blue,
Then I'll come back to you.
When we hear the German roosters Growing
''Yankee Doodle Doo,"
Then L ii come back to you.
When the "Wacht am Rhine is changed

When the Germans build a statue like our
own Miss Liberty,
And when we have chased the Kaiser up a

Then I'll come back to you.
