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.

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.

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.

FORTUNES IN TIPS.
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."

CHAMPION HAND-SHAKER.
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

A fine illustration of what "the

February 14 when Miss Genevieve
Harvey was the only member of the
San Mateo Hunting club to show up
at the meet (on account of the storm,
not a man appeared). 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.
