THE QUESTION ARISES
By e. w. Giles.

Is the condition Of intellectual
childhood being overcome as it should
be? -...
When a man demands his rights
and thereby loses the courtesies and
exemptions which he has previously
enjoyed, how much has he gained?
Is the world facing decadent hu-
manity?
s Who can wonder that some people
take some people at the estimate they
seem to set upon themselves?

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge

through your hair, taking one small

gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and

THE SUNSET CITY.

There's city that lies in the Kingdom CT Clouds
In the glorious country HIGH
Which an azure and silvery curtain enshrouds
To screen it from mortal eye;
A city of temples and turrets Of gold
That CLEAN by sapphire sea,
Like jewels more splendid than earth may behold
Or are dreamed of by you and by me.
And about it are highlands of amber that reach
Far away till they melt in the gloom;
And waters that hem an immaculate beach
With fringes of luminous foam.
Aerial bridges Of pearl there are,
And belfries of marvellous shapes,
And lighthouses lit by the evening star
That sparkle on violet capes;
And hanging gardens that far away
Enchantedly float aloof
Rainbow pavilions in avenues gay,
And banners of glorious wool
When the summer sunsets crimsoning fires
Are aglow in the western sky,
The pilgrim discovers the domes and spires
OF this wonderful city on high
And gazing enrapt as the gathering SHADE
Creeps over the twilight lea
Sees palace and pinnacle totter AID .ade,
And sink in the sapphire sea
Till the vision loses by slow d\rees
The magical splendor it WORT;
The silvery curtain is drawn, and ne sees
The beautiful city no more =.

ment of the gilt. The first intimation
to the publ, came from representa-
tive of the recipients, who were the
creditors. OF bankrupt automobile
manufacturing company whose plant
Mr.. Ford had bought in. The purchase
price of the factory lacked just $4000,0 900
of being sufficient to pay all creditors
in full.
Mr.. Ford bought the factory about
year ago. In the meantime he has had
an opportunity to learn, by the incom-
parable test of actual experience, what
the property was worth. Apparently
he decided that it was worth at least
100000 more than he paid for it. Pos
sibly, as insinuated by people who are
themselves evidently uncharitable, Mr.
Ford may have parted with this addi-
tional sum in the hope OF realizing a
return from it, rather than in payment
of value received" But a charitably
disposed person would like to think that
the automobile manufacturer acted in
recognition of moral obligation which
was in no sense a legal one.
He had prospered on property which
lie had bought for less than its value
and at an actual loss to others. If he
had taken full advantage of his oppor-
tunity for profit, and given tie creditors
nothing in addition to the purchase price
agreed upon, nobody would have con-
denned him, as he would have been
within the bounds of both custom and
the law. But he saw fit, for reasons
of his own, to save the creditors from
loss, and because he is rich man and
the sum involved was 100000, some
people have expressed the suspicion that
his motives were not entirely worthy
Such is the life of a multi-millionaire.

THE CHILDREN

When the lessons are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me
To bid me goodnight and be kissed;
Oh! the little white arms that encircie
My neck in tender embrace!
Oh! the smiles that are halos of Heaven
Shedding sunshine of joy on my face
And when they are gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
OF love that my heart well remembers
When it wakes to the pulse Of the past
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A portion of sorrow and sin
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
Oh! my heart grows as weak as woman's.
And the fountain of feeling will flow
When / think of the path, steep and stony,
Where the feet Of the dear ones must go;
or the mountains of sin hanging DER them.
or the tempest Of fate blowing wild;
Oh there's nothing earth half so holy
As the innocent heart Of child.
They are idols of hearts and of households
They are angels of God, in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes.
Oh those truants from home and from Heaven,
They make me more manly and mild;
And know now how Jesus can liken
The kingdom of God to child,
l ask not life for the dear ones.
All radiant, as others have done;
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun.

They have taught me the goodness of God.

The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every Iiorning to me.
/ shall miss them at morn and at even,
Their songs in the school and the street;
| shall miss the low hum of their voices,

And death says. 'The school is dismissed"
May the little ones gather around me
To bid me GOODNIGHT and hc kissed. -
