Hedge ao UUIIUIIiviui i Hi, vviiimu(r , K K KS OF PlCKBKS Mr- THE GREAT THE fiat has gone forth 1 With steam and electricity, and the new powers born of progress, forces have entered the world that will either compel us to a higher plane or over whelm us as nation after nation, as civilization after civilization, has been overwhelmed before. It is the delusion which precedes destruction that sees in the popular unrest with which the civil ized world is feverishly pulsing, only the passing effect of ephemeral causes. Between democratic ideas and the aristocratic adjustments of society there is an irreconcilable conflict. Here in the United States, as there in Europe, it may be seen arising. We cannot go on permitting men to vote and forcing them to tramp. We cannot go on ed ucating boys and girls in our public schools and then refusing them the right to earn an honest living. We cannot go on prating of the inaliena ble rights of man and then denying the inalienable right to the bounty of the Creator. Even now, in old bottles the new wine begins to ferment, and elemental forces gather for the strife 1 But if, while there is yet time, we turn to Justice and obey her, if we trust Liberty and follow her, the dangers that now threaten must disappear, the forces that now menace will turn to agencies of elevation. Think of the powers now wasted; of the infinite fields of knowledge yet to be ex plored; of the possibilities of which the wondrous inventions of this century give us but a hint. With want destroyed; with greed changed to noble passions; with the fraternity that is born of equal, ity taking the place of jealousy and fear that now array men against each other; with mental power loosed by conditions that give to the humblest comfort and leisure; and who shall measure the heights to which our civilization may soar? Words fail the thought! It is the Golden Age of which poets have sung and high-raised seers have told in metaphor. It is the golden vision which has always haunted men with gleams of fitful splendor. It is what he saw w hose eyes at Patmos were closed in a trance. It is the culmination of Christianity -the City of God on earth, with its walls of jasper and its gates of pearl I It is the reign of the Prince of Peace! Henry George in "Progress and Poverty," WHAT SHALL I DO I WHEN 1 GET TO HEAVEN. "It Doth Not yet Appear What we Shall Be, But we Shall Be Like Him. The first thing I shall do will be to read up for a thousand years or so. Nothing so impresses me with the brevity of life as to enter a li brary oppresses, I would better say. How can one find time to get even so much as acquainted with literature, when a Niagara of books, not to mention magazines and papers, roars from the jaws of the press in an unending stream? In heaven, time being no matter, 1 shall learn all the languages earth ever had heaven has but one multae terrioolis linquae, coelsii bus una clear back to i he gutteral clicks of the stone-age man, and the glug-glug of the lake dwellers; and get all the local(colors, and hence know all life. Celestial beings move with the rapidity of thought Distance makes no difference. Wish you were on ameres, and behold! you are there. Now the science-story tellers say thai we see the light of certain stars that may have been extinguish ed centuries ago. Rapidly as light travels, it takes ages for it to OUT OF SORTS When you fl lazy, stretchy, half suk, "blur" and discouraged look to the liver. It is torpid.

Consequently all I need to do in order to witness with my own eyes anything that ever happened on earth, is io wish myself at such a distance as shall bring me io where the light of that event is fresh. Placing myself at so many mil lion miles I am present at the death of Caeser; at so many more million I walk with Pericles the ways of Athens; so many more I see Moses coming down from Si nai. So in heaven I shall be able to be " among those present" at anything that ever took place. In teresting. What? In heaven also I shall have time to develop all my latent capacities. The only reason I have never written like Shakespeare is that I haven't had time. That would take me several hundred years. So if you meet me a million years from now on some saielite of Sigma Bootes you will find me to be a combined Beethoven, So crates, Raphael, Newton, Agassiz, Paderewski and J. Ceasar. You will see that I can do anything anybody ever did better than he did ii; can lay brick better than the best of terrestrial masons also out Curaso Caruso in singing, and teach your Miltons the art ol poetry. As mere duration, heaven is rathera dull prosspeci; but as infi nate development it's an amazing idea. For, as John Fiske says, " the essential feature of man is his unlimited possibliiies of devel opment." And not only shall I increase in skill and all kinds of efficiency, but my other powers, what may liicy mil become fciicii ihcy ire stamped with immortality. My memory it will be stored fuller than the British Museum or the Vatican. My will be strong enough to to move a train of cars. 1 speak soberly. Who knows that the human will may not be harnessed some day, as well as electricity? My taste through infinite crud ities it will live and become divine. And my character w hat power, gentleness, goodness, nobleness and majesty it might acquire in eons of experience! This is what is meant by thai striking word " the power of an endless life." And that high word of Paul that we shall be changed from glory to glory." And John: It doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we shall be like Him." LITTLE BOY WE The little boy whom we used to know, Who came to us when the day burned low, Who left his swing and his bat and ball, Who left his play mates and games and all To come and stand by our easy-chair, To stand before us with yellow hair, On sturdy legs--with his feet apart, Before he snuggled against our heart. Where is he now with his romp and squeal, Will) his little hurts iluu a kiss would heal ? Vi e heard him say his "I lay me down," And we pressed our lips to his tousled crown, Then his father tiptoed across the gloom And sat htm down in the farther room, While his mother stayed by his side to croon A soft bye-low to a world-old tune, While he drifted oui into Slumberland; Then we stood and gazed at him, hand in hand, And looking backward to where he lay It seems 'twas then that he went away. It seems that he never eamc back at all To the rubber cat and the bouncing ball, To the old rope swing and the games he knew. A genie touched him he grew and grew ! From the room where our baby had sunk to sleep A youth came forth. And his voice is deep, And his eyes are honest, and he is strong ! And while still echoes the bye-low song, His lips say "Moiher !" and then laugh "Dad !" And we are frightened but we are glad ! Sometimes we stand in the little room By the little bed in the evening's gloom ; And we miss the faltering "lay me down," And we'd give the world for the tousled crown To kiss once more ! Oh, Boy ! grown tall, We are frightened for you at the thought of all The dangers that wait your unwary feet ! And grieving for heartaches you're bound io meet ! But we are proud for the dear world's sake Because of the man you are going to make. THE BOOK 1 walked in the green earth, and engines took me across high moun-1 tains and plains of grass, And a ship carried me across ihe waters of the sea, and 1 saw cities and many things, and I wondered. And I knew many books, and 1 walked wiih ihe people, anil my won der increased For the world is an open book, that a man may in lime learn io read, but men translate it in different meanings. I read the siory of the spring, and it was full of music and Mowers, And the summertime told ihe same story that God is good, and Na ture is wise. The ripe autumn riches in the Book of Life translated to mean that men should use the gifts of God to the full, And the frost of winter was as beautiful as any, for it said, the spring comes after. Bnt there were strange things in the Book of Life horrible and ghast ly, and they seemed to have been written there by different in-; fluences For as the wise ones learned the secrets of Nature, their human broth ers sunk deeper into poverty and sin Progress and poverty always grow together, and want increases as wealth increases; But it is strange to read this chapter in the Book of Life along with ! the story of the spring. To the fortunate or the cunning, wealth comes unearned, and the in-: dustrious have no hope but empty poverty undervalued work. And I cried out, Who hath written this thing in the Book of Life, that some must have too little that others may have too much ? But many were honored of the world because they preached that this was ordained of God, and that brains should rule the earth. And some priviledged ones said, Charity is sweet, and thus we will sleep sound in the night. And a good man said, I will give charity to my brother, and thus build up the State Even the poets had the lying spirit of false knowledge in their songs, for they saw only charity. And 1 thought, Shall the words of garroi-men be written in the Book of Life? "Woe unto them who join house to huuse, and held unto field, until there is no place. For the stones shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it: Woe to him who buildeth a town with blood, and stahlisheili a city by iniquity !" : For black is not white, and charity is not justice ! ; APPLE PIE EXPLODES WOMAN IS BAOLY HURT. Cleveland, Ohio.-Jusi as Mrs. Henry Vanderheudc peeped into the oven of her gas stove to see how her apple pies w ere gelling along, one of them exploded.
