XorthitUr CKrUtia Advocatt: Early In the war it became this writer's duty, tor a brief period, to carry certain reports to th War De partment tn Washington at about 9 o'clock in the morntnsr. Bo ion lata one morn 1m we were in a desperate hurry to deliver the uauers in order to be able to catch the train returning to camp, un tne winding, dark staircase of the old war -Department, which manv will rmne ber. It was our misfortune, while taking about three stairs at a time, to run a certain head like a catapult into the body of the President, strikina- him in the rertoa qjt the right lower vest pocket. The nsual surprised and relaxed human smut of a man thus assailed came promptly. Wa quickly sent spoloK? in the direction of the dimly seen form, fooling that the ungracious shock was expensive even to the humblest clerk in the denartment.

A second rlance revealed us the President as the victim of the collision. Then followed a special tender of "tea thousand pardons." and the President's reply: -Oue's enough; I wish the whole army would charge like that: Safety in Clttea. A New York polio captain, wao nas aeea roach life In the South and West, says them's se plaae like New York far safety tor lit aad nronertv: aad he further testifies that ths habit of carrying (concealed weapons ia that city ia dying out. It struck him that when therovara- ment carried tnrougn jvew ors a white ago ou express wagons, th guards making a display of some thirty Winchester rides, the exhibition of strength was more a bit of- spee- taculur advertising for the express company than otherwise, because but one policeman on each wagon would hay invited the capture of tne treasure. atsrddnlana la Imria, A fresh avopagaaAa of Buddhism is being undertakes ia Paris.

Well, sit you down tho I'll be swocn the place Does not invite Too. It is Dltbywyes. Those dear ssssltes waa beop holts aad bars Are never overnice with what meaa clay They've slapped inside. But, as for that, our- aelvea Axe adt loo critical. There's bod aad board.

And what more need dumb-thoiitfhtcd rascals have. Since but to get no more they thieve and kill When they have freer space to move in Humph! You're very courteous to deprecate My self t-os ictioa aad-I read your face Yu is mavh surprised to find me glib of speech, Aad that aot caaUmjly. Well, to be frank. Were not tbe hsiter fast about my neck Aad that stark fellow sot as death watch tkere. I might whine forth some simples that I know would touch your pity with my penitence.

But, passed beyond the Judivy ef man. For one I can make bold with honesty. Aad smite aim on the ahouider as a friend. Fact is, I rather relish of the change. From the first day I lisped a laughed at lie Until an hour age, when last hope failed Of clemency from stltf-necked Governor, I never, knowing, acted or spoke truth Unless It was to setter some -base end-As whea I swore I loved the maid I Or spoke of pleasure meeting him whose purse Was heavy with th gold meant to have.

I feel, somehow, at level with your kind In tenia? just my nature hud a voice That has no hypocritic twang, nor takes Tbe tone of maudlin sentiment. Stop, sir; Put back your book. I venture to make boast I know its matter better than do you Though, possibly, for minds fan not th same. we dtOerently judge of wast wo read. It is your trade to patch up souls with prayer.

Pretending your commission is divine. My practice was. and still it is. to doubt. Not your commission only, but the worth Of that strange book by whose authority You Mess or damn, behead or burn ahve.

Exalt to heaven or cast down uuo hell. Inclose tn velvet or enmesh In serge, According as man bows or holds si oof. Take not my bluntoeas for intent to wound I'm talking, as tt were, from out the gloom That ere another noon will shut me in. Or. as you think.

Yet. take two brains that skilled anatomist Could not determine which were sounder stuff. which better shaped tor thinking, or to catch The subtle essence of th mystery That seems to bold acquaintance with the known If on shall say.

Point where one vital thread of root essays To pierce th bosom of the yearning earth. Your reed la but the fibers of "they say." Dry plaited by your saints aad devotees. And wet with blood because mea will have gods. You tell me Season sanctions this or that. And Faith's the key to stern salvation's door- While I make answer.

Faith is but the hreath Wherewith cold Ignorance would warm its heart; And Beasou hates the monsters of revenue. Tbe jealous phantoms, and the bungling fools That make sad unmake, contemplate and change. That counsel prayers and answer them or not. That find their creatures 'wiser than themsolrts And buttst with wrath, thea pity what they've damned And find atonement in a rabble's crime These, hideous odds and ends religion Aung Into Its caldron to incant a gou That Beason. thrusting dB it lethargy Of long dismay, now views with fearless eye, And loathes what one la dread It worshiped.

Sir. I crave your pardon, but I'm not like you; I re plunged soul down into the deeps of hen And dragged tt scarred and bbstered backv Pre shot If eager spirit toward supernal heights Where ecstasy ia sweetness seemed enthroned. And fslien neath Its hope-bereft return; rve burnt the midnight oil consuming books; I've gnawed the very hearts of men for lore; rvertoed where social martyrs bore-the yoke Of deep humility: I've felt the throb Of TiaesioD-fevemd pulses straining bounds. And sees the glare of greed In famished eyes; Fve caught the moan that haggard virtue gav When yielding up las-ltfe-to golden lust; I've seen beneath the fair moon's wondrous smile The polished steel gleam blue aad red recoil. While -music from the brothers danc cam sweet To mingle with the whispers of the night! rve seen, and been a part of what rve seen.

Nor seen all dark or from the lips of grace I've caught tbwkiss of gladness, and have heard The voice of charity, metodloon As psahns the shepherd might hsve sung. Well up unstudied from Ihe inmost shrine Of hearts rejoicing, "having done rood dee da But. as I said, dear sir, I'm not like you. And la the school, of heaven or hell. I've learned.

And only learned, tbe bitterness of love. The sovereignty of hate, life's vanity. And the pain, the deep, vast pain of knowledge. You dont protest? You've tasted hyssop, then; And In that tear that trembles from your eye There lurks a ghostly sorrow, born tn days Before you donned the sable. You've a heart That saintly prejudice has not aqueesed dry Of all lta human sympathies.

Again I crave your pardon; audi thank you. too. You'll find I'm not ungrateful, since to you A memory 111 leave that down the years You yet may run shall be a strength and stay When doubt taces grip an faith to trip it. A swift glance take: It Is the counterfeit Of one who served me In a hapless hour. And showed Such friendship as I love aim for.
