In the trail of every cloud.
This world at best is but hash
OF pleasure and of pain
Some days-well. they're bright with

And others---Gosh! they're all

Well, that's jes' how 1t ought to be

But always keep rememberin
When care your path enshrouds

dent in the Midway Piaisance, and
| the cars ran off the elevated tramway
and seventeen people were, injured ,---
nobody fatally--hut the most severe
" injured OF all was an attache of
the German Legation. He had three
| ribs broken and his flesh bruised. and
when the ambulance came he insisted
that they take care of the others
first. and when they reached the hos
pital, he insisted that the surgeons
dress the wounds of others first, all
though he was injured AS severely as
NIL the others combined Why? He
was proud of his uniform. He want
ed the people to see how he could
suffer without a murnur or com
plant. In the morning nobody knew
him but his best friends; the next

wings of the Associated Press and
penetrated all the remote corners Of
the earth. His picture appeared in
the newspa pers, the magazines and

! First,
| Years ago a friend or mine told me
that he had attended a meeting down
! in the old Mar BILE Collegiate church in
| New York. AT the back of the plat
/ form sat a number OF women and
they looked as though they had been
| rescued from the siams, but they
/ proved TO be slun workers, CAPTAINS
| OF the Salvation Army. and among
them was one whose father was very
wealthy. She laid aside her furs and
! silks and her jewels and had gone
| down into the dark, rottinE, Tester
ing spots OF the city, there TO allie
vfate misery and suffering.
She swept her eyes through the
audience and recognized some OF the
friends of her opera days: she said:
| 'Oh, you look at me a. though you
pitied me; / pity youl You think
that life consists of frappes and
booze and cocktails and fine. costly
isuppcrs at Sherrys or Deimonico's or
the St Regis But ] have found thai
life consists in the happiness of try
! ing to help others
| Tip Their Hats TO Her.
! She could go down into the dark
spots of the city thieves and thugs
abundant where your life and virtue
wouldn't be worth that--they would
| tip their hats to her. Why! Oh,
they knew that she was trying to-
make life easier for them. and when
she learned Of a family in want and
! squaior. she ordered the coal and
o. K.'d the bill, and her father paid
It, When she found children that
needed clothing, she o. KID the bill.
and her father paid it
| And she could go into fan tan dives
and those haunts of sin, and they re-
| spected her. They knew she was try
ing to alleviate their misery and sur-
fering.
II Jesus Christ should come to this
city. where do you think he'd go?
oh, he'd go down among the sub
merged and teaming mudsiIls of So
ciety; he'd go wherever there lis a hu-
man heart that needs his helm
