ABOUT I IUAVEN. "What Care 1 For Gate of Pearl or Street of (iold, If I Can Meet There the Ones Who Have Blessed Me Here." THOMAS R. MARSHALL. The cheeriest smiler in Wash ington has noiliing on Vice-President Marshall when he is "at a party." Washington got acquaint ed wiih ihe Marshall smile, when the Vice-President and Mrs. Mar shall made iheir initial official ap pearance at the lirsi at-home Mrs. Shively, wife of the junior Senator from Indiana. Regardless of po litical affiliations, the Indiana dele gation in Congress and out of it foregathered at the Shively recep tion, filled the recepiioh suite to see the Vice-President and Mrs. Marshall make their debut. In speaking of heaven, the late Senator Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, "What heaven is, 1 know not, but 1 long have dreamed ol its purple hills and fields of light blossoming with immortal beauty; of its brooks of laughter and iis rivers of song and its palace of eternal love. I long have dreamed that every bird which sings iis life out here, may' sing forever there in the tree of life, and every consecrated soul that suiters here may rest among its Mowers and live and love forever. I long h'tve dreamed of opal towers and burnished domes, but what care I for gate of pearl or street of gold, if I can meet there the ones who have blessed me here, and see the glorified faces of father and mother and the boy brother who died among the bursting buds of hope, and take in my arms again my baby who fell asleep ere her little tongue h id learned lo lisp, 'Our Father who art in Heaven.' What care I for crown of stars and harp of gold, if lean love and laugh and sing with them forever in the smile of my Saviour and my God." TRUE VALUE JIF OUR LIFE.

Ilecommended by all druggists. There is so much for us to do, so many wrongs to be made right and so many evils to be remedied thai a consideration of ihe petty bickerings of life is far beneath our notice. So long as life runs smooth ly in its nsual channel we are in clined to attach great importance to the minor details of existence and in time lyield largely to their existence. The terrible test of some great emergency, however, makes clear life's true values. The greatest success that can be attained, the largest fortunes that can be attain ed, the highest station that can be achieved are as nothing in the clos ing hours of a man's life. Then it is thai he scruimies ins pan tor the least vestige of personal good which he has wrought, and it is that memory alone which is worth j anything ai all in lmn- ' ! vmnot derive much comtori nom mc wealth he has accuniulmed, or the social distinction he has attained, but he can and does rely for his Aiernul reward unoti the unselfish and simnle service he has rendered for the welfare of others. The life upon which we place sc. high a value must end some tune, sooner perhaps than we imngine. We nnisi build for the future, indeed, m,o idindlv. not selfishly, no! bru tally, but in thai spirit of brave fel lowship which measures up lo every emergency. Are Vou Constiputed? If so, get a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills, take them regularly and your trouble will quickly disappear. They will stimulate the lixcr, improve your digestion and get rid of all the poisons in your system. Th.iy will surely Ret you well atraiu. 2"c at all druggists. Many a man has grown eloquent in thought and word as he recalled his mother. The word means something different to every man, but it means much to all men. A man who always speaks well of his mother is generally a man who can be trusted. We note the fact that one of the late candidates for vice-president, in making a speech a few years ago, paid a beautiful tribute to his mother. The campaign committee are now us ing that pan of his speech with the assertion that a man who remem bered his mother like that ought to be a man who could be trusted in the public service and this is what he said : "I think back through the years, lean and fat, good and bad, to my earliest recollection. I saw 11 wo man with an eye that Hashes swift as an archangel's wing and a motiilt th:ii hrenks with laughter . and harden at sight of wrong, sing 1 ing lullabies; a woman who, with hand gCasping the unseen hand, walks the briar-bordered paths of life unashamed, unafraid, unharm ed. She is clad in garments of beamy to me, and age does not soil them, nor years make them cheap and tawdry. Her tongue is without guile, having never been the messenger of a lie. It is sev enteen vears since her soul went home to God, and her fingers be came to me the fingers of un an gel; but 1 have not forgotten all she said. She told me there was Santa Claus, and I believed her. But he brings me no longer drums and fifes. But he still brings to me the vision of my mother and ihf music of that aneelic chorus I which sang at creation's dawn and MRS. MARSHALL. Mrs. Marshall is tall and slender. She has a fine complexion and her soft brown hair sweeps becoming ly back from an unrutlled brow, consequently her gown of soft ruse satin draped in black chiffon and gold lace was thoroughly becom ing. Both Mrs. Marshall and the Vice President were the centre of gayly chatting circles of friends, old and new. The Marshalls seemed to be delighted with Washington and Washington reciprocates.
