A PREPAREDNESS PRAYER.
Qrant That We May Never Use
Our Power for Wrong or Op
pression: Almighty God, whose kingdom
is everlasting and power infinite,
have mercy upon this whole land.
Behold and bless thy servants,
ihe President of the United Slates,
thd Governor of this State, the
senate and representatives of ihis
people in Congress assembled.and
all who are in authority, that they,
knowing that they are thy minis
ters, may in all things seek thy
honor and glory, and that we and
all thy people, duly considering
whose authority they bear, may
reverence that authority and faith
fully obey the laws of this land.
Bless our land with honorable
industry, sound learning and pure
manners. Defend our liberties,
preserve our unity, save us from
violence, discord and confusion.
Fashion unto one happy people
ihe multitudes brought into Amer
ica out of many nations and kin
dreds, and make them loyal to
American ideals and institutions.
In time of prosperity, O Lord,
let us not grow weak and in
effectual, but put it in the minds of
the American people to prepare
sturdily to defend their country
against insult and invasion, and, if
need be, to suffer and sacrifice
themselves as their fathers have
done for the freedom of their
country and the honor of their
country's flag. Grant that we may
never use our power for wrong or
oppression, but always to preserve
for ourselves and win for the na
tions of the world the blessings of
liberty, prosperity and peace.
And grant that all things may be
so ordered and settled upon the
best and surest foundations, that
peace and happiness, truth and
justice, religion and piety, may be
established among us for all gen
erations. Grant this, thou King of kings
and Lord of lords, for the sake of
Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen.

GIRL HE LEFT BEHIND.
Some have left their sweethearts as they went to join the line,
Some have left their babies with their little eyes ashine,
The girl he left behind him
Sits beside the window there,
With the wrinkles on her forehead
And the gray upon her hair.
She is dreaming of another, of a soldier far away
Who went out with l.ee and Jackson in a dust of yesterday.
And the son that's on the border,
How he fills the gentle mind
In these hours beside the window
Of the girl he left behind.
Her gray old lips are moving as if moving in a prayer,
And she sees him in her vision as he guards the border there.
And she sees adown the vista
Of the long and lonely years
Once again that other soldier,
While her soft eyes swim in tears.
THE DISCOURAGED FARMER,
BYJAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.
The summer winds issniffin' round the bloomin' locus trees;
And the clover in the pastur' is a big day fer the bees,
And they been a-swiggin' honey, aboveboard and on the sly,
Tel they stutter in theyr buzzin' and stagger as they fly.
The flicker on the fence-rail 'pears to jest spit on his wings
And roll up his feathers, by the sassy way he sings;
And the hosefly is awhettin' up his forelegs For biz,
And the off mare is aswitchin' all her tale they is.
You can hear the blackbirds jawin' as they foller up the plow
Oh, theyr bound to git theyr breakfast and theyr not acarin' how;
So they quarrel in the furries, and they quarrel on the wing
But theyr peaceabler in potpies than any other thing;
And it's when I git my shotgun drawed up in stiddy rest,
She's as full of tribbelaiion as a yeller-jacket's nest,
And a few shots before dinner, when the sun's ashinin' right,
Seems to kindo' sorto' sharpen up a feller's appetite I
They's been a heapo' rain, but the sun's out today,
And the clouds of the wet spell is all cleared away.
And the woods is all the greener, and the grass is greener still;
It may rain again tomorry, but I don't think it will.
Some says the crops is ruined, and the corn's drownded out,
And propha-sy the wheat will be a tailure, without doubt;
But the kind Providence that has never failed us yet
Will on hands, onc't more at the 'leventh hour, I bet !
CROW WON'T GO AWAY.
Dropped Into Confectionery Store
and Decided to Stay.
It is not often that a crow will
visit the city and decide to make
its home there. This, however, is
just what happened here. A con
fectionery store on Elizabeth street
is now the home of a young crow,
which was found by Mr. Laneve,
one of the proprietors, in the cel
lar of the establishment. How the
bird got into the cellar is not
known. "Jim," as the crow is
christened, is as black as coal and
has a ravenous appetite. He tries
to say "Hello," when spoken to
by any of Mr. Laneve's customers.
He does not actually speak, but
makes a good attempt at it by
shouting "Caw," crow fashion.
Every day the proprietor takes
Jim out into the street and liber
ates him. He flies onto a nearby
tree and will remain there for a
short time, when he becomes hun
gry he will vacate his perch in the
tree and fly back to the store,
where a little roosting place has
been built for him. There he will
sit for hours, eyeing the custom
ers as they come and go. Mr.
Laneve, when asked whether he
intended adopting the crow, said:
"It looks as if the crow is adopting
me." Utica Dispatch in New York
Sun.
NO BRIGAND.
Congressman Hull, of Iowa,
sent free seeds io a constituent in
a franked envelope, on the corner
of which were the usual words,
"Penalty for private use, $300."
A few days later he received a let
ter which read:
"1 don't know what to do about
those garden-seeds you sent me. I
notice it is $300 line for private
use. 1 don't want to use them for
the public. I want to plant them
in mv Drivate carden. I can't af
ford to pay $300 for the privilege
Won't you see if you can't fix it so
1 can use them privately. I am
a law-abtdine citizen, and do not
want to commit a crime."

A FALSE MEASURE OF VALUE.
Eternal Values Are Real Values.
In these days we are altogether
too likely to get a man mixed up
with his bank account or his farm,
or his store, or his clothes. Let
us put first things first. The man
who lives in a cottage may be
worth more than the man who
lives in the brownstone front. The
man who mends shoes may be
worth more in heaven's sight than
the man who sits at a mahoeanv
desk.
In other words a man is worth
what he is. True values are char
acter values. 1 know a man who
is very poor in this worlds goods
and very poor in health. Yet his
pastor says that he is the best soul
winner in a church of several hun
dred members. Scarcely a week
passes but the pastor receives into
the church some man or woman
or young person who has been
won to Christ through this humble
servant of God. He is one of
God's princes, and the chariots
and horsemen of God wait on his
going.
I know a woman. She keeps a
boarding-house. She said that she
kepi boarders, to pay expenses,
but her business was to win souls
to Christ. It was nothing unusual
for her to say to her boarders at
the close of the evening meal :
Let us kneel and have prayer to
getner Detore you go to your
room." And then she would pray
for each one about the table by
name. Every man and woman
who came to that woman's house
io board, if they stayed any time,
would away converted. In
Heaven's sight she was a princess
royal, and angels encamped about
her, and God's morning stars sang
her praises. What need had she
of the applauses of the world ?

IN THE OLD TRUNDLE BED.
Downy Couch Occupied by the
Children of Other Days a De
lightful Place of Repose.
There may be a few of us left who
remember the trundle bed but for
which it would have been impossi
ble to bring up the old-fashioned
family of good proportions. Houses
were small and families were large
in those days, and providing beds
was a problem. So it was solved
by the trundle bed a low struc
ture that rolled beneath the "regu
lar" bed and which was trundled
out at night and filled with chil
dren, says the Dayton News.
It was a featherbed, of course
big and thick and soft. You sank
into iis very bosom. No danger
of a kid falling out; no more dan
ger than there would be of a raisin
falling out of a cake. For the
children fitted into the feather bed
for all the world like peas in a pod
a nestlike formation holding the
tiny form. Besides, if you did
fall out of a trundle bed, you
wouldn't have far to fall; only an
inch or two, for, be it remembered,
the trundle bed was built low, so
it would roll under another bed.
But it was a glorious invention 1
A billowy, downy couch fit for the
angels and angels slept in them.
The temperature didn't matter. In
memory they were always comfor
table. Warm in winter and cool
in summer they must have been
sweet and clean and fresh al
ways. That's the way we recall
them, anyway, so it is the way
they must have been. The night
had no terrors after one was
tucked away in a trundle bed, and
sleep came quickly to "knit up the
raveled sleeve of care." The
morning came instantly, it seemed,
but you were refreshed, and ready
for the rough and tumble work or
play that beckoned to you.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
It was the woman's first visit to
the cinematograph. For a long
lime she gazed in silent awe at the
wonders of the screen, where all
sorts of imposible things took
place.
She could hardly believe the ev
idence of her own eyes. These
things were real they were actu
ally happening. She stared with
goggling eyes as miracle succeeded
miracle.
Then a motor-car appeared on
the screen, coming into sight in
the distance, and racing along a
country road at about a mile a min
ute straight out of the picture at
the audience.
Catastrophe seemed inevitable,
and she shrank back in her seat.
Then, just al the critical moment,
it swerved aside and dashed out of
sight.
The old woman rose firmly to
her feet, ignoring the protests of
those behind her.
"Come along, Annie," she said
to her youthful niece; "it isn't safe
here. That thing only missed me
a few inches."
SURE.
Father (at head of stairs) Mary,

Yes, father, dear! Don't put it off
another minute. Your health, you
know, is not at all robust, and
these late hours are bad for you.
