"Now I LAY ME"

These verses were found in the
knapsack of a dead soldier on one OF
the battlefields of tn Civil war:
Near the camp fires Pickering light
In my blanket bed I lie,
Gazing through the shades Of night
At the twinkling stars on high:
Der me spirits in the air
Silent vigils seem to keep
AS breathe my childhood's prayer,
NOW lay me down to Sleep"
Sadly sings the whippoorwill
In the boughs of yonder tree;
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody.
Foemen may be lurking near
In the valley dark and deep;
Low breathe in Jesus ear:
II pray The. Lord. my soul to
keep"
Mid those stars one face see
One the Savior called away
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray;
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain brake;
Take me to her, Savior daer,
eli should die before wake"
Fainter grows the Pickering light
AS each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds of night
Fill the air with saddening cries;
Over me they seem to cry:
"You may never more awake"
Low lisp: If should die.
pray the Lord my soul to take"
Now I lay me down to sleep;
Ipray Thee. Lord, my soul to keep.
II should die before wake.
I pray Thee. Lord, my soul to take.

PAID 100000 FOR
OPIUM PERMIT
BY CHARLES EDWARD HOGUE
Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent

- SAIAASAA1o Ell w <AIkD 11ONO
Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
HANKOW, China-(By Mail.)-
Half million dollars monthly trib-
ute will be paid to the provincial au.
thorities of Human province for
monopoly of the opium traffic there,
it was announced today, as a result
of an auction conducted by the state
government. Hsia Tou-ying, a for
mer Tuchun military governor) OF
this province Of Hupeh, made the
winning bid.
Refusing to recognize the prohibi-
tion Of opium traffic provided in the
criminal code of the Republic OF
China, the provincial authorities have
taken advantage of the chaotic cond,-
lions existing throughout the nation
to revive the drug trade to provide
revenue for the maintenance Of their
local armies. Each province has its
own army subject to the call of the
central government at Picking or the
southern government at Canton only
when it suits the within Of the local
party in power.
For time it appeared that some
progress was being made towards
ending the growing Of opium in
China. But when it was learned that
foreign interest had reaped immense
fortunes from the disposal of the
drug stocks on hand at the time OF
the "clean up" the natives rebelled
against the new order of things.
