CAN HEAL THE WOUNDS. f
Here's Something tlood From the
Pen of Win. n. Smythe, in the
Western Empire.
All that luimpe has lost, and is
to lose, of wealth ami beamy and
povter, originally tame from the
land.
livery life ill. il lias ime mil, or
that shall fit outthe hie of king,
geinr.il and common soldier -was

ihr war, no mailer how long il ;
shall las nur how complete the i
devastation ihal shall he wrought,
, there will remain the goodly earth!
There lies the halm that in lime
shall heal the wounds of the world.
Ciiy and countryside, ships, com
merce, the shattered fabric of in
diistry and society these can only
he rebuilt out of the enduring re
sources of nature by the labor and
genius of man.
They may kill their enemies by
tens of thousands, sweep away in
an hour the accummulaied treas
ures of centuries, but thank God!
they cannot kill, ihey cannot des
troy, "the land the Lord, thy God,
haih given thee."
Behold the smiling hills and val
leys of our own nation, lying sweet
and wholesome under the ha.e of
the October afternoon, and believe
that God does live, and that our
civilization shall not perish from
the eat ill. l-'or these hills and val
leys, happily far removed from the
rivers of blood that are flowing
from the wounds of liurope, are
so many tokens to assure us that
out of the wreck of poor Belgium
a new and grander Belgium shall
arise! That another France, an
other Germany, another Russia
and Austria, and England, shall be
builded in the patience of eternal
time.
Only the land thai can heal the
wounds of the world. Look at our
smiling hills and valleys and know
thai one day the hills and valleys
of Ltirope shall smile again aye
laugh outright with boundless
harvests to feed the hungry, clothe
the naked, shelter the homeless,
and create anew those material and
spiritual values that make the
strength and the grandeur of na
tions. And let us pray that where so
much thai is precious is shot and
burned and trampled underfoot
these things, infinitely more pre
cious lo humanity, and to the end
less future, may he gained :
linduring peace among all the
children of men.
Democratic insiiiuiions for Eu
rope where no autocrat shall again
have power to plunge innocent
millions into woe.
And most precious of all, a just
and human policy of world-wide
scope bearing us far forward to
i ward that time when, in a Land of
! Plenty, there shall be neither a
j homeless man nor a hungry child.
If this be dreaming, the writer
j dares to dream.
NOT HISTORICAL.
Miss Smith, the teacher, was
healing the history class. The
pupils seemed unusually dull on
this occasion and in vain did the
teacher try to get them to give the
correct answers. At last she looked
at the child who was her star pu
PN. "Now, Llsie," she said, "Mary
followed Edward VI., didn't she?"
"Yes, ma'am," replied the little
girl.
"And now, who followed Ma
rl?" asked the teacher, hopeful
ly.
All was silent for a moment, then
Elsie raised her hand.
"Yes, Elsie?" queried the
teacher. "Who followed Mary?"
"Her little lamb, teacher,' said
Elsie triumphantly.
HE MEANT WELL.
"Hut, Captain Huwley," naid
Urn IuiuiIhoiuu Miim Piute co
qui'Uishly, "will you love mo
when I grow old and ugly?"
".My dear Miss I'lute," an
swered the captain gallantly,
"you may grow older, but you
will never grow uglier."
And lie woudera why their
friendship ceased so suddenly.

POST-MORTEM PRAISES.
I've noticed when a fellow dies, no mutter what he's been
A saintly chap or one whose lile was darkly steeped in sin
His friends forget the bitter words they spoke but yesterday,
And now they find a multitude of pretty things 10 say,
I fancy when I go to rest some one will bring 10 light
Some kindly word or goodly act lorg buried out of sight;
But, if it's all the same to you, just give me instead
The bouquets while I'm living and the knocking when I'm dead.
"Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my marble brow,
While countless maledictions are hurled upon me now;
Say just one kindly word 10 me while I mourn here alone,
And don't save all your eulogy to carve upon a stone.
What do I care it when I'm dead the Bloomingale Ga.eiie
Gives me a wriie-up, with a cm in mourning borders set;
It will not flatter me a bit, no mailer what is said,
So kindly throw your bouquets now and knock me when I'm dead.
"It may be fine when one is dead, to have the folks lalk so,
To have flowers come in loads from relatives, you know;
It may be nice to have these things for those you leave behind,
But just as far as I'm concerned, 1 really do not mind.
I'm quite alive and well today, and while 1 linger here,
Lend me a helping hand at times give me a word of cheer.
Just change 'he game a little bit; just kindly swap the decks,
Eor 1 will be no judge of flowers when I've cashed in my checks. '
SAND ON THE TRACK.
I observed a locomotive in the railroad yard one day,
It was standing in the roundhouse, where locomotives slay.
It was panting for a journey, it was coaled and fully manned,
And a fireman had a box he was filling full of sand.
It 'pears that locomotives ain't always got a grip
On the slender iron pavements, 'cause their wheels are apt to slip;
And when they reach a slippery spot, their tactics they command,
And to get a grip upon the rail ihey sprinkle il with sand
It's about this way with travel along life's slippery track
If your load is kind o'heavy, and you're always sliding back,
If a common locomotive, you'd completely understand.
You'll supply yourself in startin' with a good amount ol s.md.
You can reach any station, that's along Life's schedule seen,
If there's lire beneath the boiler of Ambition's strong machine,
And you'll reach a place called Hlushtown, at a rate of speed that's
grand
If for all the slippery places you've a good supply of sand.
A DEAD OIVE-AWAY.
John A. Hennessy in a recent'
address in Brooklyn said of a cer-1
tain controversy. i
"That was a dead give-away on
the opponents' part. That showed i
them up as little Willie Budd show-
en up his father.
Little Willie said fretfully one
day to a rich aunt:
" 'Auntie, make a noise like a
frog."
"Why, Willie, what do you want
me to make a noise like a frog
for?" said the aunt, with an
amused and puzzled laugh.
"'Oh, because,' whined little
Willie, 'whenever I ask pa for any
thing he always says ' Wait till your
auntie croaks.' " Washington
Herald.
NOT THEIR FAULT.
At a recent social affair the talk
turned to sentimentalism, when
Congressman Edward Gilmore,
of Massachusetts, was reminded
of a story about Uncle Josh, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Uncle Josh was comfortably
lighting his pipe in the living room
one evening when Aunt Marian,
glanced up from her knitting.
"Josh," softly remarked the
good woman, "do you know that
next Sunday will be the twenty-
fifth anniversary of our marriage?"
"Ye don't say so, Mariah I" re
sponded Uncle Josh, pulling vig
orously on his corn cob pipe. What
about it."
"Nothing," answered Aiunt
Mariah, "only 1 thought we
oughter kill them two Rhode Is
land red chickens."
"Say, Mariah," impressively de
manded Uncle Josh, "how can
you blame them two Rhode Island
red chickens for what happened
25 years ago?"
Few of the men who are willing
to give you a recommendation
would give you a job.

LONG-WINDED.
"Travelers' tales, which often
add charm to the conversation of
an agreeable and interesting per
son, frequently render a bore more
tiresome than ever," said Rex
Beach, and illustrated as follows :
"A long-winded narrator had
droned on at the club the other
night for an hour or more about
his recent trip to Switzerland.
" 'There 1 stood, gentlemen, he
said, 'there 1 stood with the abyss
yawning in front of me.'
" 'Pardon me,' interjected one
of the unfortunates who had been
obliged to listen to the story, 'but
was that abyss yawning before you
got there ?"

so cruel as that of unrestrained greed,

ganized avarlco.
The president of the T'nited States
was recently lauded by the press, nnd 1
very properly so, for suggesting medi
ation between the engineers and rail
road managers in adjusting their
schedule of tlmo and pay. Tho engi
neers threatened to strlko if their
wages were not Increased from ap
proximately ten to eleven dollars per

No financial award can be made j
without someone footing the hill, nnd
we commend to those who accept tho
responsibility of the distribution of in- 1
diistrial .lustlce, the still small voice of '
the woman In the field ns she pleads
for mercy, and we beg that they pinch
no crumb from her crust of bread or
put another patch upon her ragged
garments.
We beg that they listen to th
scream of horror from the eagle on
every American dollar that Is wrung
from the hrow or tolling women and
hear the (loddess of Justice hiss at a
verdict that Increases tho want of
woman to satisfy the greed of man.

enthroned at Washington hold the cal

the nation's harvest or w ilt she permit
the male of the species to shove
women weak and weary from the
