THE NEST.
I found a bird's nest in a tree.
Now, what was thai ii> you or
mc—
A last year's bird's nest lu a
tree?
And yet I marre'od when I saw
The tiny nest of hair and straw.
Designed nnd built by nature's
law—
A vacant home and lovely still.
Though buffeted by winds at
will,
A finished work of wondrous
skill:
A thing of beauty to conceive.
With only beak to form and
weave.
A dream of art, so soon to leave.
The little nest that pleased and
thrilled
My soul with reverence had"
filled—
God taught the robin how to
build.

POVERTY.
It is wonderful what Tolstoy
has done. He could do no more.
For a nobleman, with the uio.st
aristocratic ancestry, to refuse
to be supported in idleness, to in
sist upon working with his owu
bands and to share as much as
possible the hardship and toil of
a peasant class which but re
cently was a slave class is the
greatest thing be could do. But
it is lmi>osslble for hitu to share
their' poverty, for poverty is not
the lack of things: it is the fear
and the dread of want.—W. D.
Howells.
promises to bring ou as warm a.
Utile fight as the Senate has seen
in some time. Senators John Sharp
Williams and James K. Y:>rdamann
of Mississippi, Hoke Smith ol Geor
gia and Kllison of South Carolina,
have boasted that the jonate will
never confirm Terrell. AM of the

Speaking for his segregation bill
in committee, Represeivtal Ive As
well expl tined that its object was
to make it unnecessary for white
government employees, especially
women, tc work under or alongside
of negroes in the depart* leuts. As
well said
"The Almighty by the stamp of
tolor decrced that the Causcasian
race should occupy positions of au
thority and control the destinies of
tl country. Fear of losing the negro
\ ote in the doubtful s'ates and
personal desire for office through
his vote which are the real cause
of existing conditions, are usually
covered b\ the pretense of justice.
"If we would be just to each
race we would recognize the eternal

We would know that this is a white
man's country whose future is to
he controlled bv the Causcasian
race.
"it is unjust to a member of this
inferior race to put him in position
luthority over the Causcasian.
liy ir.herii •awe he is misfit when
in positions of authority, even over
liis own race.
"Kvery informed and right-think
ing white man while sympathizing
v\ ltl» and anxious to help the negro
in his place, recognizes the nec
essity of preserving '.lie integrity
and supremacy of the white race.
No nation ever destroyed itself, ex
lept by amalgamating with an in
ferior race.
"Are we blindly driititig that
way? The United States is pecul
iarly coiuinissiioned to lead all
other nations not only in the purity
of race qualit) but in world prob
lems of just and wise government.
"The purpose of this bill is to
check a bad tendency <iu this
country, b"iore it is too late, and
cause tliii king people everywhere
to find themselves in relation to
:he race problem, and tl us deal
fairly and give justbo to both
races."
The UncHang'ng Past.
T!:ls i ; ttie reason why the past has
such mairie:'! power. The beauty of
its motionless and silent pictures is
iike the encluinted purity of Jnte
autumn. when the leaves, though one
breath would make them fall, still
glow against the sky in golden glory.
The past does not change nor strive.
I.ike P'.nican. after life's (Usui fever,
it sleeps well. What wits eager and
grasping. wh;t was.petty and transi

were beautiful and eternal shine out of
it like stiirs in the night. Its beauty
to a soul n<»t worthy of it is uneudur

—Uertrand Itussell.
PESSIMISM.
A habit of looking at things from
a distorted ang'e, of focusing the
vision cn things that depress and
sugcf't unharointss and misery, is
a destroyer ol happiness and suc

a funereal facc, th n' ing "hard
