WHY I GO TO CHURCH.
Hy Hon. Scott Harris, Congress
man from Oklahoma.
" 'It is sweet on a summer's
morning, when the air is a-quiver
with the love songs of the birds
ami fragrant with the odor of the
rose's Moom, to hear the music of
the church bells, an invitation to
the world-wearied to enter God's
temple and Hud peace, because the
instinct of worship is in the heart
of man and the church is the tem
ple of the living God.
" 'I go to church because I find
there, that peace which DeQuincey
described as a resting from human
labors, u Sabbath of repose, a re
spite granted from the secret bur
dens of the heart, as if 1 stood at a
distance and aloof from the uproar
of life; as it the tumult and fever
and strife were suspended; as if
there brooded over me a dove-like
and halcyon calm.
" 'I go to church because 1 love
the music that I hear there, the
mighty roll of the great organ, sin
gled with the marvelous sympho
nies of that divine stringed instru
ment, the human voice, untwisting
; all the chains that tie the hidden
soul of harmony.
" '1 go to church because I de
j light to hear the teachings of the
preacher, whose soul is dedicated
to God, whose field isas wide as
I God's universe, whose theme is
the destiny of man, and whose
words are the oracles of fate.
Marvelous is the spell of the
preacher to whom God has given
genius and consecration and the
power of illustration drawn from
i the old, sacred, immortal Book,
I and from the miracles of nature,
I no less revealed in the crimson
! tipped flower turned up by the
plowshare of Robert Burns upon
the soil of Ayr than in the long
! reaches of the star-girt skies.
" 'I go to church because "the way
! is dark and I am far from home,"
' and because the church is the polar
star to light my pathway in theray
; less night.
" '1 go to church because the
i church ministers not only to the
spiritual but also to the material
j needs of life, and because it is
I there that the charities that soothe
and heal and bless are scattered at
' the feet of man like flowers.
! " 'I go to church because in that
atmosphere vice and crime wither
and die.
" '1 go to church because I hear
the teachings of the philosophy of
Jesus, the incomparable man; and
if you say His teaching is philoso
phy and not religion and that He
was a man and not a God, then
the philosophy of that man has re
deemed the world from savagery
and blessed mankind with Chris-
ti.in civilization, and, to my mind,
a thing worth while to hear.
" 'I go to church because 1 find
there consolation and hope; be
cause I see there the dawn and not
the sunset; and if it is better for
man, if the hope is baseless and
the vision but an elusive phantom,
to cherish a dream so glorious and
beautiful than to be weighted down
and crushed with the quarried
mountains of a world without hope
and without God.' "

Speaker Clark's declination of an invitation attend a Democratic
dinner last week, at which Secretary Bryan was a guest, stirred up so
much commotion that the Speaker issued a characteristic statement.
- "1 have cut all dinners and functions except those I feel under obli
gations to attend in my official capacity," said the Speaker. "I did
this for two reasons: I. Because I have not time to attend them. 1
have too much to do. 2. Mr. Spofl'ord, so long Librarian of Con
gress, once told me that most public men and army and navy officers
who died in Washington 'dug their graves with their own teeth,' a
saying which I look to heart.
"The people of the country are not interesed to any considerable
extent about dinners in Washington, but they are interested very much
as to w hat Congress does, and when it does it, and I am trying my best
to expedite business so that we can get away from here and give the
country a rest. That is a good policy for both the country and the
Democratic party."
THE PERFECT NUM.
In a newspaper wrangle with another editor the author was bantered
for being a cripple. Stung by the unmanly and ungenerous rebuke,
the author, who is editor and publisher of the Guide, Gihnan City,
Mo., replied in these lines. K.W.Howe.ot Atchison Globe, was so charm
ed by the verses he sent them to lidward Bok, editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal. Mr. Bok was so pleased with them that he published
them in the Ladies' Home Journal with an explanatory note. Since
then the verses have been republished in various newspapers and
magazines over the country and the author has received many compli
mentary letters about them at his home in Cilman City.
0, what does it take to make man complete
From the crown of his head to the soles of his feet ?
With naught to subtract and nothing to add
A man not too good, and a man not too bad?
Is man but an arm, a leg, and a boot?
An eye, and an ear, and a tongue, and a throat?
Is there nothing more in him to extol?
A brain ? Or a heart ? A con ience, or soul ?
Is the hunchback, the deaf, the mute and the blind
The only unfortunate the frail world can find?
The onlj sad creature whose makeup is weak
Enough for a tongue and a voice to speak ?
Is the man that hobbles along as he goes
The only wreck in the tide of Liarth's woes ?
Is there no petrified heart ? No brain out of plumb ?
No conscience deep-seared and withered and dumb?
Is the miserable gristle in place of a spine,
The shrunken ideal, the hope out of line,
The twisted desire, the wish-washy will,
No cause to suspect that the makeup is ill ?
Is there no vision to look through the skin
And sec the deep voids that may lie within ?
The crack on the inside, where the outside is whole?
The warp in the heart and the limp in the soul ?
IN THE SMALL
IU l-KANk
Never ask the country to see me rise an' shine,
They ain't nocash that's counterfeit in any "roll" o' mine;
In my one garden spot o' life I'm lovin' every clod;
I'm in the small procession, but I'm keepin' up praise God !
"One pathway leads me to my toil all earthly comforts bringin';
An' winter gray, or flower-sweet May, I walk that way a-singin';
An' when I'm in the lonesome land where trouble slips his tether,
1 take a brother by the hand an' say : "We'll strive together."
Thut's not like rcachin out for fame like clinthin' jes' so high
You've got to talk to clouds an' stars an' tell old times gnodby;
The thing men know as "glory" the best o' things may be,
But I've long knowed it ain't my road it wun't built fer me.
I'll never reach the Promised Land in any fiery car,
Nor h'ist this corncob pipe o' mine an' light it with a star;
Content to toil to reap an' sow, without a trumpet blowin',
It takes the humble folk, you know, to keep the great ones join'.

SECRETARY BRYAN ON BRINK.
Satisfied If Me Has 0 i v en Anyone
Strength to Help Him to Resist
Temptation.
II
HON WILLIAM J, BRYAN
To a company of Boy Scouts
who presented him with an en
grossed copy of a resolution of ap
preciation regarding his stand for
total abstinence, Secretary of State
Bryan said among oilier good
things:
"If since I have grown to man
hood I had ever felt tempted to be
gin the drinking of liquor, I would
have been restrained by the feeling
that my act might injuriously affect
some who looked to me for my
example; and I have felt that more
especially in public life, for as one
becomes better known his example
has a far more reaching influence.
I shall feel that 1 have not lived
entirely in vain if by abstaining
front the use of intoxicating liquors
as beverages I have given strength
to anyone to help him resist temp
tation." MAY INCREASE PARCELS
POST WEIGHT LIMIT.
"A Hundred Pound Package Mas
No Terrors for Me," Declares
Postmaster (ieneral Burleson.
Recent experiments conducted
by the'postoftice department with
the aim of increasing the weight
limit of the parcels post have
proved so 'successful that parcels
weighing 100 pounds soon may be
shipped by mail. The present
weight limit of parcels is fifty
pounds.
"The 100 pound weight limit
has no terrors for me," the Post
master General declared. He ex
pressed belief that 600,000,000
parcels would be transported
through the mails during the year,
beginning July I, next, with a rev
enue of approximately 10 cents
each.
NONE LIKE HIM.
Says a contemporary: "'The
theory that there is no fool like an
old fool was ruthlessly shattered
when an 18-year-old Texan mar
ried B widow wiih 18 children."
The boy did not have the experi
ence to act like an old fool. An
old fool would have married the
18-year-old girl of the family and
left 17 of the children to help
mother. Wilmington Star.

A GOOD WIFE.
Why Not Nave I old Her So
When Her Ears Were Not
Dulled By Dentil.
"She was a good wife to me. A
good wife, God bless Iter." These
words were spoken in trembling
accents over a coffin lid. Tue wo
man asleep iheie had bum the
heat and burden of life's lung day
and no one ever heard her mur
mur; her hand was quick to reach
out in a helping grasp to llmse w 'id
fell by the wayside; and her feet
were swift on errands of inecry ;
the heart of the husband had law
led her; he had left her to long
hours of solitude, while lie anuisci
; himself in scenes in which he had
S no pleasure nor part. Children
' had been bot n to tlieni. She h.'d
reared them almost alone tiny
were gone! Her hand hud iiiin
S islered to their wants. Then she
i had comforted him, and sent him
out strong and whole hi jril'uil
while she stayed at home ami-
cried. What can a wunijii do but
cry and trust? Well, she is at
rest now. But she could not die
until he had promised to "bear
up" and not to fret, but to remem
ber how happy they had been.
They? Yes, it is even so. l-'or
she was blest in giving.and he in
receiving. It was an equal partner
ship after all. "She was a good
wife to me.". Oh man! man! why
not have told herso.wheti her ears
were not dulled by death?
THAT'S WHAT SHE
WANT!:!) TO KNOW.
A Chicago lawyer recently re
ceived a 'call from a very well
groomed, stylish young person.
"Sir," said she, "I am in great
distress."'
"Please state your case, miss. "
"The dilficulty is this: 1 have
received three proposals of mar
riage. "Which man has the most inon-
1 ey ?" he asked.
' The young woman shrugged
, her shoulders. "Do you im.ig-

would consult you or any other
