commanded his Democratic Senators
only day before yesterday TO vote
against the treaty as it was modified

President dismisses the possibility OF
compromise with the Senators to pass

can never meet theirs. He refuses
point blank the only compromise-the
preservation Of American sovereignty

Measured
VI. c. ROBBINS.

Oh, yes, the earth was measured,
The mountains scattered, too,
And at an eOict from His lips,
The mighty hills did bow.
At Shigionoth the great prophet
Spoke these words in days long gons
We repeat them now triumphant
Both in history and song.
With immcnsity before Him
He spake-Let there be light
He bade the stars Of Haven come forth
The moon TO guide by night.
Oh. yes. He measured all things,
And He leads us every day,
He will Judge us with sweet mercy,
All along the narrow way.
He will measure all our talents,
Do not bury them away,
Do not wrap them in a napkin,
Let them work while it is day,
For night cOmeth oh, 50 swiftly,
In it no man works, you know
So let's return all that is given,
As the moments come and go.
And He will surely measure us,
our talents and our all,
But His sweet mercy He'll extend
To help us e'er we fall.
Let us work within His vineyard,
Bear the heat and burdens, too,
Do not falter, you will find strength,
Stand among the faithful few.

only school text books and cheap mag

every quarter that contain real treas

sellers have a society and a club

floor Is thrown into one large room
by removing the interior screens and
the books are spread out on the mats,
each dealers lot apart, each set OF
volumes plainly labeled with its title
and price. There is bewildering
variety; Chinese books, often old and
rare editions that cannot be found IN
