"Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing, and not one of them shall fail to the ground without your fath er." Mathew x:t9. The sparrow la a cheerful energetic little individual, never downcast under the most hopeless of circumstances, and at all times bearing himself with a Jaunty, certainly bespeaking, perfect eaf-reliance. The sparrow energet ically plays his little part In the econ obit of nature and while it does not stand out strongly compared with some other things, still from this feathered. hustling little fellow we may take a timely lesson. The recent warm weather encour aged the birds in the belief that spring waa near, and the work of nest-build tag has started. A stray bit of string, a. bit of paper and a twig bent went toward trf preliminary work. One inar imagine how anticipation warms In the breast of beasts and bird at the promise or the goiaen aays oi pnug Poets have said that th very earth Itself la thrilled with Joy and every thing that lives and grows is touched by the magic. The sparrow's shrill twitterings, therefore, must be taken oti a more Joyous note as It flew to Its airy tasks. The wind has less chill in it; the snow and frost did not seem so cold and forbidding as when It first gar mented the earth, and overhead was that tender blue that floods the skies when the sun Is warm and the scent of a million blossoms fills the air Happy people of the air as they built for the spring! If the cold wind blew and the frost came and much of the work timed to the spirit of antici pation waa undone. The sparrow did not fill the air with loud lamentations or ruffle its tiny feathers in the excess of grief as humans might have done under similar circumstances. Blessed is the sparrow, for it has not the nature of man to be cast down and distraut at the shadows that fall across life's play. The things of na ture know neither discouragement nor dispalr. The great law by which they are animated and guided so sustains them that they are never cast down. The sparrow will blithely build agaia and yet again, superbly undaunted, and realize in time the full measure of its reward. HONOR FOR A HERO. Republics may be ungrateful; they may be slow to recognize Jls tingulahed service, but when they do act. they move in the right direction, So it may be expected that congress will favorably consider the recom mendation of President Roosevelt to erect monuments to John Paul Jones and John Barry, naval commanders of "the revolutionary war. President Roosevelt indorses the work of Am bassador Porter in attempting to locate the grave of Admiral Jones, and asks congress to appropriate $35,000 re aulred to conduct the search for tht naval hero's body In the abandoned cemetery of St. Louis, Paris. The body of the famous commander of the Bon home Alt-hard Is believed to havo beer. burled there In 1"92. Of all the names that appear In America's splendid naval history', none occupies the unique place accorded that of John Paul Jones. A Scotch man by birth and a sea-faring man all his life, he offered his services to the ' colonies early in their struggle for In dependence. His experience entitled him to first consideration, but he asked only for a first lieutenancy In the em bryo navy of his adopted country waa in that inferior capacity he made his first cruise for the new govern ment Soon his ability became ap parent and he was given a separate command. Although he performed dis tlngutehed service In those early years of the war, 13 officers, by a blunder of congress, were promoted over hi3 head. Captain Jones was a true patriot, now tver, and continued to fight the ene CHILDHOOD PRA TCP.. A few alleged mothers, wno aoii i know it recently held a convention or society fur scandal, and the follow ing is the telegraphed report of the proceedings Chicago. Feb. 24. The west .na mothers' council has declared out or dat the 'Now 1 lay me' prayer of childhood, and offers In Its stead oth ers that sound more euphonious and poetic. "One of the members said: u take away Santa Claua from child hood and now remove the 'Now I lay me' prayer, what will be left as land marks for the young? Mrs. Edgar A. Hall, president of the council, led the crusade against the prayer. She took particular exception to the lines. 'And if 1 die before 1 wake. I pray the Lord by soul to take. The Idea of death during the nignt Is horrible, and I never use it,' ene said Her remark apparently was ap proved by most of those present. Mr. Hall hurl a auhfttltuta to Offer. It WHS listened to with many nods of approv al. Here it is: Father, we thank thee for the night. And for the pleasant morning light. And for the rest and food and loving care. And all that makes the world so fair." "'Beautiful.' some one murmured. so tranqualizing.' Others agreed with her and so the little, old prayer of our childhood goes on the shelf. It the truth were known there was not a true Christian woman in the entire convention. There waa not a true mother there, and it is In dlca.tlve that they were mothers only by proxy. They were certainly not the mothers whose memory we love ana adore. They were not the good old mothers of days gone by, but they are th mothers of the swell "400" of Chi cago society, many of whom do not know the father of their offspring. 10 eliminate that Infant's prayer that has been taught since the beginning of time: that has been taught by fond mothers to the child scarcely able to talk, as she kneeled at the crib, or the trundle bed and after repeating th nraver tenderly killed the little one to sleep, and silently asked UOJ s blessing on the darling one, is to ef face from memory all thoughts of home anJ mother. According to the prayer adopted by these quasl-mothers, they simply thanked the Lord the next morning after breakfast, for what they have re ceived during the night They are like the miser who loans money and who tracts two for one. They have no thanks to offer for blessings until after they have been received. This may be Christianity, but in teh opinion of a layman, hell will be full of sucn cnris tlans with their legs sticking out of the windows. They do not ask the Heav enly Father to watch over them dur ing the night. They do not ask mm to receive their souls should they die before morning, but they want to elim inate all the most sacred associations of childhood by striking from the cate gory of beautiful child-like prayers. "Now I lay me down to sleep ask the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul to take.' The old mother's prayer asks for the watchful care of the Heavenly Fa ther during the night, and In the event .loath, that He will receive the spir it to his own. If prayers are answered the dvlnsr infant will dwell forever in r.ara.lise. All the other old prayer adbpted b the alleged mothers in Chicago is to tnanK mm iw me u".. for morninsr light, rest and food and all that makes the world so fair to those who have money. It Is not the nraver of the mother, but the prayer of the ingrate. It is llkt death bed repentence and conversion on the gal lows. When the prayer of our child hood Is taken away It also takes away that dear, good, kind old mother who watched over us In childhood and whosse sweet voice hushed us to sleep with a loving kiss upon our brow as she laid us In the bed beside hers and who administered to our wants during the neight. They may cut out the Bible, destroy the church, but they can never efface the beautiful child's nraver associated with home and mother. o Portland. March 4. Between 300 and 400 laborers, tradesman, union men and non-union men are at work on the Lewis and Clark exposition ground today, about one-third in all of the working force. Some additional wen, nrs.Hat.1v Ml. la th mi t aid A limit, failed to appear at their posts this morning. I y Of those now at work many are meiijO working previously on the exposition grounds; many are new men who went to work this morning In search of Jobs Work Is going on on all the buildings; on some with almost complete forces, and on some with about one-fourth ol the regular number. At a meeting of the representative, of all the trades unions of Portland held last night In the hall at Second and Stark streets. It waa decided not to bring the exhibit of the American Federation of Labor to the Lewis and Clark exposition. This exhibit was on display at the St. Louis world's fair. It is said that the present strike and the employment of non-union men on the buildings of the Lewis and Clark exposition Is tha real cause for this de cision of the trades unions. It waa even hinted by some In attendance at the meeting that as the American Fed eration of Labor exhibit was a strictly union exhibit, emblematic of union ism. It would hardly be right to place It In a building which had been erected even In nart by non-union labor. The exposition managers don't care wheth er the exhibit Is made or not. as they have demands for all their space and tha labor unions are only splUng them selves. ml Copyright 1904 by Hart Schaffner fc?
