YOU THAT ARE COME.
Tou that arc rr.no?v.<> know not where.
Save that your ey. s were shut in sleep
And that your hands were waxen fair.
Hands whose warm touch we fain
would keep?
You that are gone, this is to say
The hearts yon P-ft behind you yearn
And wait all patient, day and day,
For your return.
Who knows what pathway lured your
feet
It may be that 'tis yours to fare
Out where the dawn and twilight meet,
Into a vast, unknown, sonu-when?
But this is sure, the home hearts wait
While through the mist of worlds you
roam.
And sigh and say that soon or late
You will come home.
Your chair within the inglenook
Holds still its comfortable s?paoe.
Upon its arm your open book
With ribbon left to mark the place;
Your roses burst am v.- to bloom
And drip their j-.-weiings of dew;
The very air. lush with perfume,
is waning vuu.
We know not. in the curtained night
Whose every shadow blurs and bars
The far-llung gleaming of the light
v That comes fjom all the time-old
stars?
We know not but wo faintly hear
Your step, and we hold silence then.
With faith that ever drawing near
You come again.
They say 'tis done; that we no more
May see you smile or hear you speak,
Or catch your footfall on the floor.
Or trace the roses in your cheek;
Eut still we blindly send this call
?To you, that somehow you may learn
That hearts and hearth arc waiting?all?
For your return.

h-- s
Every one agreed that Evelyn Gregory
was a queer child. "Of course, it
Is natural that she should bo queer,"
every one said, "for the poor little
mortal to have four parents is rather
too much of a good thing."
And so it was, for papa and mamma
and grandpa and grandma each owned
& share of this "only child," and had
* wonderful ideas about bringing her j
up.
"She must be an exception to the
ordinary only child," declared the two
generations of Gregorys, and they J
were so afraid of spoiling her by con- j
tact with other children not so well
behaved that until she was quite a i
big girl she had no companions of her j
own age. That she should have been
happy under these circumstances, was
enough to prove that she was queer, i
but no one knew with what longing
she looked out upon the forbidden, j
glorious world of romps and games? j
until Jack came.
Hoy.' he got there no one ever knew
* ?least of all Evelyn?but after a long |
-and lonesome rainy day,* when nurse
had tucked her up snugly for the j
night and the firelight danced merrily j
all over the floor, Evelyn thought she j
saw another crib close beside her and !
the dearest little baby boy sitting up ,
and staring about him with round, j
sleepy eyes.
"Jack, Jack!" she cried with delight
"I'm so glad you've come to play with
me," and, stretching out her arms, she
snatched him up and covered him
j?> with kisses. I
If any one had peeped into the nursery
at that minute they would have
seen only an excited little girl standing
straight up in bed, hugging herself
very tight and kissing her own
chubby hands. But Evelyn knew better?it
was Jack?her darling little
brother Jack, and he had come to stay
with her always.
IShe told mdmma ail about it the
next morning in her quaint, solemn
/ fashion, and was quite charmed when
mamma gave her permission to play
? - 1 ll'L-O/1 cr\
witn jacK wnenevw sue ? ,
every night Jack's crib grew up be- |
side her own in the nursery and every
morning while she was being dressed
she dressed Jack very carefully, and
' all day long she talked and played
with him, until Jack?the fanciful
creation of a queer child?began to
occupy a real place in the household.
Evelyn never forgot him under any
circumstances; wherever she went,
whatever she did, Jack was there, and
whenever she walked in the street
she always held out her hand as if
she were holding Jack's and talked
to him as earnestly as if he were
really trotting beside her.
What did it matter if other little
girls and boys had sisters and brothers.
She had a brother?the dearest,
sweetest thing, and there were thrilling
adventures now to fill up each
day.
An only child has to be dressed
about three times as often as three
children, or even a half dozen children,
and when an only child happens
to have long golden curls and a very j
particular nurse those are times of j
suffering indeed; but Jack's coming
made a difference, because, as mamma
said, she had to be very good and
patient for fear of being a bad example
for Jack.
As she grew older and the curls
were gathered together in a bright.
thick plait, she sorrowfully decided |
tuat Jack's hair must be cut. This
was an awful day. She took him into !
the nursery and talked to him very
- kindly about it, but poor Jack cried
and cried and she cried, too. while
she snipped them off with her own
hands. But by lunch time it was over,
and when Evelyn told of the dreadful
scene in the nursery she was glad to
hear mamma say that short hair was
very becoming to Jack and made him
look so much more like a real boy.
There came a day at last when it
was decided to send Evelyn to
school; she was nearly eight years
old, and could read and write quite
nicely; she had even taught Jack, so
that he was not far behind her. and "
they could both do difficult sums in
addition and subtraction.
"I wonder if Miss Murray takes
hoys," she said, * when she and her
mother were - discussing the new
jlChool. "I'd like Jack to ?o."

j "I never thought of asking," said
j Mrs. Gregory with a smile, "but I
i think you can risk it; I'm sure he will
! be very good," and then they both
I laughed, for Jack's bringing up was
; quite a joke between them.
| Evelyn was very shv at first; she
| and Jack cowered together in the same
j seat and gripped hands very tightly
under her desk, but her new conipanI
icus were very nice children and did
i their best to put her at her case, so
j at the end of a week she began to
j feel quite at home.
It is wonderful how fust this only
i child fell into the ways of the others,
1 but. sad to relate, poor Jack was
j very much neglected. When one has
a dozen real little girls to play with,
it follows quite naturally thai a
I "make-believe" brother is not so
i necessary as a companion,
j After the first few days at school
! Evelyn decided that it was better to
| leave him at home, so every morning
j she settled him comfortably in the
nursery, surrounded by all her picture
books and toys, gave him a hearty
i hug and kiss and hurried off without
| him; but she was very particular
j about his lessons when she came
J home, going over and over them with
j him, until he and she knew them by
j heart, and when the night came, and
j they were supposed to be sound asleep
j she would tell him all the day's doings,
; chattering away as she had always
; done.
The strangest part of it all was that
j she never told her new friends about
| Jack.
"They wouldn't understand," she
! said to herself, as she gave Jack an |
j extra remorseful kiss and took him |
i out for a walk. j
But things grew worse and worse j
l'or poor Jack. The nursery was in- j
i vaded by these strange little girls,
i and Evelyn had to shake her head and
ma>ke signs to him to keep very still,
I so they would not know he was in
| the room. She was actually ashamed
j of Jack, and she sometimes forgot to
; take him out for days together.
! One Sunday morning?a very par!
ticular Sunday, for E\elyn was going
j to church with mamma?she was unusually
grave and quiet, not even the
knowledge that under her long coat
was a dainty new dress and that she
would have her favorite ice cream for
dinner could bring a smile to her solemn,
little face.
"Wait a moment, mamma," she said,
just as they were ready to start, "I
must tie Jack's cravat.
"Oh, we're to have Jack, too?" asked
mamma.
"Yes?this time?come on, Jack."
And Evelyn held out her hand as she
Tt'hon Tnr-lr wpnf alone.
di ?V tt? O U1U 11 11VU .. w.
All through the services she sat
with Jack's hand fast in hers, and
once cr twice she bent down and
whispered to him, though mamma
shook her head?for Evelyn never
could whisper.
Then when they were walking home
in the brilliant sunshine mamma noticed
that Evelyn no longer held
Jack's hand; instead, she held her
own snugly in her little ermine muff.
"Why, where's Jack?' she asked,
struck by the child's unusual silence.
The blue eyes met hers and filled
with ters.
"I?I left him in the church," she
said with a sob, "and I'm afraid he'll
never be able "to find his way home
again."
"I'm so sorry," said mamma, and
she took one of the little hands out
of the muff and held it firmly. "Perhaps
he may come by himself."
But Evelyn shook her head, and
though she missed him sadly enough
at first, and often dreamed about him,
and sometimes even cried for him,
and wondered what she would ever do
without him, Jack never did come
back.?Washington Star.
Spat Out Bullet and Three Teeth.
Henry Ricka, a colored man, is congratulating
himself because he once
possessed a set of remarkably strong
trmirhlv-nlznted teeth. Alas! three
of them are gone, but they probably
saved his life.
They also, in all probablitv saved
Frederick Cooper from being arraigned
on a charge of murder.
, Cooper and Rieka had a quarrel
and the former pulled a gun and fired.
The bullet hit Rieka square in the
mouth.
Rieka looked his astonishment for
a second or two, and then made everybody
sit up and take notice.
He calmly spat the bullet out of his
mouth and three teeth with it.
Then he walked off to the Homeopathic
Hospital for repairs.
He was not badly hurt.?Wilmington

j law forbids the 60 per cent basis of
j assessment now customary through!

The Coast Line is jumped up from
$10,000 a mile to $25,000; the South

COTTON CROP IN BAD WAY
!
Is Assertion of President of Georgia
Seed Crushers' Association.
"Reports from all sections of the
south, as given by the members of
the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association at Jamestown last week,"
said L. A. Ransom, newly elected
president of that organization, who
has returned to Atlanta, "indicate that
the cotton crop of the south is today
worse off than it has been at this
time of the season in years. In fact,
we got such distressing reports as
to the necessity for replanting that
the asscciation passed resolutions
pledging the various cotton seed oil
mills in the association to furnish
cotton seed at a moderate cost for
replanting from our supply on hand
for crushing.
"We realize what a poor condition
the crop i3 in and how hard it is
going to be to get a stand, and are
very anxious to help the planters in
every way possible. These reports
were not formal, but came from ev*
ery one of the 600 delegates at this
convention from every cotton-growing
state in the union.
Mr. Ransom is enthusiastic over the
convention and declares it the most
| successful ever held. He states that
Dr. H. W. Wiley, tne neaa 01 ms
United States pure rood commission,
made the association a talk, in whicn
he declared the south could not conceive
the possibilities in cotton seed
oil and its by-products, which commodity
is now in its infancy. Hon.
J. M. Carson, chief of the bureau of
manufacturers in the department of
commerce and labor, was also a guest
and speaker. He read a specially prepared
pamphlet, which gave reports
from all of the United States consuls
on the subject of this great southern
product, which had been compiled for
this association through the offices of
the state department. It was through
him that Hon. J. L. Benton of Georgia
was appointed United States expert
abroad and his first report on
the market for cotton seed oil and its
by-products was read at this meeting.
Mr. Ransom states that one of'the
chief changes in the rules, as adopted
by the convention, was where by
the food value of cotton seed meal
giving the protein and fat percentage
in addition to the ammonia value
for export trade. This does not affect
home commodity, but is simply
additional information for the export.
The Georgia delegation with its
special train has returned to the state
and this was followed by special trains
from Texas, Tennessee and Souih Carolina.
The place for the next meeting
will be decided by the executive committee
at a later date. It will be announced

DEARTH OF MEN !
FOR THE MINISTRY
Discouraging Report by the Koard of
Education to the Presbyterian
General Assembly.
Columbus, Ohio.?In its report to
the Presbyterian General Assembly
the Board of Education said:
"The beard has been made aware
that its solicitude over the present
period of decline in the number and
quality /Of candidates presenting
themselves for the gospel ministry is
shared by the boards of education of
other denominations.
"Word has come from the Episcopal,
Methodist and Lutheran bodies
that the falling off, so noticeable, a
few years ago, is beginning to have
its direct effect on the church.
"Dissatisfaction is felt in many
quarters over the inability of the
churches to secure the highest type
of consecrated manhood for the ministry.
"Pulpit vacancies for distressingly
loqg periods are more and more noticeable,
and complaints are, heard
from committees on pulpit supply as
to their inability to fill satisfactorily
the places of those who are dropping
from the ranks of the ministry.
"It is with grave concern that the
church at large should know the facts
that in thirty evangelical theological
seminaries in our country the church
is about 400 men short of the number
studying ten years ago, despite
the country's increase of S,000,000
in population.
"There are one-third less men studying
for the ministry of the Presbyterian
church than ten years ago, and
yet the membership of our branch of
the Presbyterian church has increased
during that period from 1,024,000 to
1,304,000.
"Ten years ago there was one can-"
didate for every 640 church members,
to-day there is one candidate
for every 1240 members. ^
"Is it not therefore incumbent upon
the church to engage in importunate
prayer in behalf of the sons of the
church, that more of them may be
led to turn a deaf ear to the solicitations
of a commercially prosperous
age, and to consecrate their talent to
the work of the ministry." \
Era of Great Strikes Passing.
Washington, D. C.?According to
Carroll D. Wright, who was commissioner
of labor for a number of years,
and is now president of Worcester
University, the era of great strikes
is passing away. In the place of industrial
strikes the conciliation plan
is being adopted.
In an interview here Mr. Wright
says the tendency is against the great
strikes which were numerous from
nnvltr eoTTon + ioc onward TTP hP
t il C vOi i J V WUtAVW VM * ?? awavw w v
lieves the tendency is against them
more strongly than it has ever been
in recent years, but that they served
an effective purpose?that of teaching
capital what labor wanted and
teaching labor more about capital.
The effect of such strikes was loss
both to employers and employed.
Mr. Wright contends |that while little
is heard of it, all over the country
employers and laborers are getting
together in a spirit of conciliation.
Greater efficiency on the part of
the man who has an industrial duty
to perform is another tendency of
the times noted by Mr. Wright.
Pink Burial Gowns Latest Mode
Indianapolis, Ind.?Death is growing
"out of the reach of the poor
man." Fashion is establishing a
claim in the death chamber and dying
is to become a luxury in a way.
F. H. W. Graber, who is attending
the twenty-seventh annual convention
of the Indiana Funeral Directors'
Association, says many things
have contributed to make burials in
the year 1907 much greater than in
1906. In the shroud display of the
company, Mr. Graber represents, are
two or three pink dresses for young
women?a radical departure from the
white, black, gray and occasional lavender
gowns of other times. He
says that during recent months his
firm has had calls for short sleeved
waists in keeping with the fashion
of the day.

Secretary of State, delivered the last |
in the series in the William E. Dodge- ^Jp

Responsibility of American Citizen- ^
ship." : ;-:g
Hopefulness. Mr. Root 'said, was. ;^|j|
one of the plainest duties i of citizensbip.
Pessimism he called a dim- '
inal weakness. Then he proceeded Ji
to show by references to the history
of the United States why there was
no cause for any except an optiraistic
view of public .and civic con-f
ditions. He found arguments to sup-^
port his theory in the attitude of the ' ^
public toward trust?, and toward the ;?p
practice of railroads of giving
ana manipulating securities ana la
the change in the method of voting.7?%jr?
He also gave it as bis opinioD that .
the great mass of the labor classes.
of the country were in favor of pres*
ent conditions vas against socialism. \
"It is impossible," said Mr. Root, ' '<?&
"to read an account of the life of thepeople
of any civilized country without
finding an amazing degree of PrM
cruelty, of oppression, of immorality, fgfey
of corruptidn and of class 'privilege
regardless-of common right, which
has now been substantially dbne away
"All railroads gave special rates
to shippers thirty years ago. That
was the existing form of ?competi- JC
tion, and competition not only was;
permitted, but it was enjoined by
iaw, and any attempt to restrain ifc'^Mgj||
was, as it now is, unlawful. In recent
years, however, the public has
come to an appreciation of the
that these great public agencies,'
which have had conferred upon them
the right of eminent domain and perpetual
franchises to enable them
do public service, cannot give special
rates to some men without doing in-/^ H;:
justice to other men. The lesson
all this is that the prosecutions and
convictions for violation of the AntiRebate
law?things which were never
heard of thirty years ago?are not . fm
evidence that we are growing worse, '
but evidence that we are growing better;
that our government is applying
a higher standard of justice in tie VxJ
control of public utilities.
"This same thing is true of the
management of corporations and the ggg
manipulation of securities, to which ;
attention has recently been called * 2
sharply by the testimony before the ;|||i
Interstate Commerce Commission tegarding
the reorganization of the Chicago
and Alton Railroad. Thirty or
forty years ago, when the manage- ! ^
ment of the Erie Railroad apd the
Atlantic and Great Western and the
Union Pacific Railroad attracted pub- V-lie
attention, the things done by cor- ^
porate managers were so much worse ross
that the Chicago and Alton affair >
would not have received any notice. ' |;
The railroad wrecker was a common
type of railroad manager, and the VS'k
rules did not go much beyond the *
exclusion of ordinary forgery, larceny
and fraud at common law. Now, under
a higher standard, much is properly
condemned which before passed %
without notice.
"It is perfectly safe to assert that the
standard of probity and fidelity
among the corporation managers of ,v
the country is higher now than it ever
has been, and yet there is more complaint
now than there ever was because
our citizens demand that a ^
more rigid rule of morality shall be-/ 3
applied by statute and by the courts
and in administrative supervision
than they formerly considered necessary."
Then he spoke of the formation of .V V"
trusts, with consequent crushing of .'
competitors, restriction of output and
increase of prices and of the laws ,;v?
to regulate them.
"On the other hand," he added;
"labor organizations, designed for the "Czfo
just purpose of securing fair treat- * r~&
ment as to employment, wages and ' 0.f.
hours and conditions of work, are
on their part endeavoring to put up v;;J?
prices, restrict production and 'drive
