It's a comfort to me In life's battle, When the conflict seems all going wrong, When I seem to lose every am bition And the current of life grows too strong. To think that the dusk ends the warfare, That the worry Is done for the night; And the little chap there, at the window. Believes that his daddy's all .right. I can laugh ai the downfalls and failure; I can smile In the trials and the pain; I can feel that. In spite of the errors. The struggle has not been In vain. If Fortune will only retain me That comfort and solace at night. When the little chap waits at the window, Believing his daddy's all right. Louis E. Thayer. WORK FOR THE ASSOCIATION'.

In the list of brigadier generals there Is not much encouragement. Indeed, If nothing else should Incline Mr. Roosevelt to keep the peace, a contemplation of his lino generals ought to. Of the entire 23, two Funston and Grant were made gen erals outright; seven came from staff departments, four were Jumped from captaincies, and only 10 rose through all the regimental grades from lieu tenant to colonel. And of the latter class, no lss than eight will retire for age before the end of 1907. 1,1 I E AM) SOKROW. i I said to Sorrow. "Thou and I shall part; Hereafter I must seek the open way Before the wine of life leaves dry my heart, That t some destined eve to Death may say, v 'The cup Is drained, so welcome now thou art; Deep did I drink, and I have had my day!' " Alone In her dark chamber Sorrow wept And T went forth by field and fra grant lane And reached a wondrous garden, Pleasure kept In that fair land where never fell the rain; And gaily down to me this woman stept Between her roses, and I laughed again, I was most happy In that land of flowers. Only at times the old life I had known As In the night the sound of passing far and deep autumnal under tone Awoke and flashed across the lan guid hours Where I still watched, unhappily alone. Entombed among a thousand roses there I stood, walled round by towers I could not see; But still the keeper of that garden fair Laughed at my fears and still with held the key. Then wept I for some little cross to bear, And Sorrow came by night and set me free. Arthur Stringer. St' Anthony's Hospital Does your baking powder contain alum ? Look upon the label.

BOOKS FOR BOYS JACKS THE FIGHTING GENERALS. THE NIGHT IS STILL. SILKS SILKS New lot of Silks Just In. Jap Silks, 25c, 85c and 50c THE FAIR STORE The New York Evening Post, In discussing the present list of regular army major generals, quotes Lord North as saying, at the outbreak of the American revolution that he did not know whether his generals would frighten the Americans, but that they certainly frightened him when he came to consider their qualifications. The Post continues: Something of the same feeling must come over any one who studies the list of our regular army major gen erals as they stand after several years of what the Sun rightly calls "promo tion by selection as a result of favor itism and pull." They are Arthur MacArthur. Henry C. Corbln, James F. Wade, Leonard Wood, John V. Weston, Adolphus W. Oreely, and Frederick D. Grant. Of these General MacArthur is un doubtedly an able soldier who seems, however, to have lost his ambition for hard work, but his promotion to the lientuonant generalcy, on the retire ment In that position of Generals Bates and Corbin, is certain. General Wade, who Is anxious to retire at once. Is the only one of the seven major generals who passed through every grade of the line and command ed a regular regiment. Of the others, MacArthur, Corbln, Wood and Greely, left regimental du ty as captains, and Weston as a first lieutenant. MacArthur and Corbln served In the adjutant general's de partment; Greely as signal officer; and Wood as medical officer. Grant's total regimental Bervlce aggregates not over eight months. This Includes a brief period with the Fourth caval ry In 1872, and six weeks as colonel of the Fourteenth New York volun teers in 1898. The rest of his regular army service comprises eight years on the staff of General Sheridan prior to his resignation In 1881, and the time he has spent as brigadier general Blnce his appointment In 1901. The night is still, the moon looks kind, The dew hangs Jewels on the heath An Ivy climbs across thy blind, And throws a ' light and misty wreath. The dew hangs Jewels on the heath Buds bloom for which the bee has pined; . I haste along, I quicker breathe. The night Is still, the moon looks kind. Buds bloom for which the bee has pined. The primrose slips Its Jealous sheath As up the flower-watched path I wind. And come thy window ledge be neath. The primrose slips Its Jealous sheath Then open wide the churlish blind. And kiss me through the Ivy wreath The night Is still, the moon looks kind. Edith M. Thomas. I1Y HORATIO ALGER. JR. THEY ARE .H'ST IX.

Who wouldn't be a waiter In fashionable hotel or cafe, no matter how small the salary, after reading the following news Items: "Martin Kellar, waiter in a Seattle cafe, a few days ago heard guests at a table discussing the chances of a fortune to be made In Tacoma tide laads. Having saved $2000 from tipsy he hurried to Tacoma on the Inter urban train and secured an option on a $20,000 block of land. Yesterday he received an offer of $80,000 for the block from the Union Pacific and sold It, cleaning up $60,000 on the Invest ment of his savings." "Charles Miller, for many years has been working In the Astor House res taurant, New York, on wages of $30 a month, but by means of plentiful tips he has amassed a fortune of $160,000."

To his many other distinctions Pres ident Roosevelt has recently added that of being the champion hand shaker of the United States, and prob ably of the world. At the New Year's reception of 1906 In the White House the president, In three hours and 44 minutes shook hands with 9062 per sons, or at the rate of 40. per minute. This surpasses even the high record he made last year, and, as practice makes perfect, he will doubtless do still better on January 1, 1907. Les lie's Weekly. The Alfa Mouse Alta Street, Cor.

Miss Hnrvey took the pack and rode the 12-mlle course, over a score of fences to the finish In fine form. The rain was a slight drizzle and the lone hunts woman reported "the most enjoyable ride of the season," which was not very flattering to the men members who remained In out of the wet.
