THE HAND OF PROVIDING E
By Frank Monroe Beverly

The clouds were dark and ominous,
Rising from the west,
A violent storm was coming,
Turmoil anil dark unrest.
The forked lightning piercing
The clouds OF darkest hue,
Was criss-crossed in a manner,
That caused great ado.
Our Bess had gone to Auntie's
Was due at home ere night,
And ev'ry soul grew restless,
Became uneasy quite.
Then came vi'lent rainfall,
The drops came thick and fast,
And gloomy was the aspect
Ger natures dark face cast
We could remain no longer,
But turned out one and all,
We felt the impulse strongly
And hardened to the call
Thru drenching rain we hunted,
And searched the livelong night,
And Phoebus brought the morning
All robed in mellow light.
And then we found Bess sleeping,
Inside a hollow tree,
Where soft, dry leaves had drifted,
AS snug as snug could be.

THE SUN S HIN E
By Effie Strouth


By Effie Strouth
A little bit of sunshine,
sprig or spray of cheer,
Does more to help the weary
Than frown or gloomy tear.
When your heart is swinging heavy,
Filled with thoughts lonely and sad,
A little bit of sunshine
Does much to make you glad.
When the day is long and tiresome,
And the sky is dark and gray
A little bit of sunshine
Makes the world seem more gay. /
The birds will MARBLE sweeter,
The sun shines a golden hue
Your task of life grows lighter,
And the skies are turned to blue
But after the storm comes the sunshine,
The land is washed sweet and clear,
And cleaning o'erhead in the light blue 81
A sparkling rainbow is seen.

LINER STILL FAST
 IN ROCKY STRAITS
S8,O0o,00O Empress Of Can- ada" Leaking in Three Holds

Victoria, B. C., Oct. If P}-Leak- Ing in three of her holds. the trans Iacific steamship Empress of Cana da, flagship of the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services Oriental fleet, was stlil hard and fast aground early to- day. The vessel yesterday noon struck on the rocky shore of Hom- CTS bay, IS miles south of Victoria III the straits of San Juan de Fuca, due to heavy fog. All passengers were taken off immediately.
 En route to Vancouver, the Elm press of Canada had been complet- ing the last leg of a voyage that started at Southampton, England, on September IS.
 Efforts will be made at high tide today to float the big ship which a salvage vessel and two tugs yester- day were unable to move. Divers were busy ascertaining whether it IS possible to cut or blast away the rocky projections holding the yes sel.
 Damage caused by the crash was estimated at $200,0O0. First attempts to ret1oat the ship proved unsuc- cessful.
 The liner was nearing William Head quarantine station when she struck and the passengers were in the sm moking room awaiting examin- alton by quarantine authorities. One ot the passengers said Captain E. Grii1lths ordered the engines stop ped shortly before the ship piled on the rocks.
 There was no confusion aboard, it was said, and the passengers were 1a'i off about three hours later by the Otter, rushed to the scene by the Canadian Pacific Railway company owner of the stranded liner. The Otter steamed to Victoria, where the Passengers were qLartered at the Empress hotel pending their de- parturc for Vancouver, B. C.
 It was planned to tow the Elm. press to the government dry dock at Esquimalt for repairs. The crew of approximately 200 remained aboard the ship and was declared to be in no danger.
 Valued at $S,0CO,O00.
 The ship, valued at SS,G00,OO0 was built on the Clyde in Scotland in 1922. She is of 21.517 net ton mage. 627 feet long with a breadth of 7T.9 feet and depth of 42.2. She is steel, twin screw vessel and considered the largest passen- ger ship liner plying the Pacific ocean,
 The ship was returning from the Fairfield yards, where she had new engines installed and was com pletcly rcconditioncd. She left Southampton September IS, calling at New York and San Francisco on her way here. She was to have re- sumed her service between western Canadi2n ports and the Orient next Thursday and had booked a passenger list of HOO. She could accommodate 250 cabin and 1000 steerage passengers.
 Captain George Robart, veteran Canadian Pacific Railway company pilot, was bringing the Canada into Quarantine. but apparently had become confused in his bearings h. the dense fog. OHly the extrorc'- slow rate at which the vessel " travelling avertcd disaster, it V declared.
