WORDS WONDERFUL THINGS.
Keep a watch on your words, young people,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet, like the bees’ fresh honey.
Like the bees, they have terrible stings!
They can bless like the warm, glad sunshine.
And brighten a Isnely life;
They can cut in the Htrifo of anger
Like an open, two-edged knife.
Let them pass through your lips unchallenged
If their errand is true and kind —
If thoy come to support the weary,
T# comfort and help the blind;
If a bitter, vengeful spirit
Prompts tfio words, let them be unsaid;
They may flash through a brain like lightning.
Or fall on the heart like lead.
Steady!
The World’s
Rests on Us.
Burden
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There is but one great nation which
has not abrogated the institutions of
civilization and substituted therefor the
rule of the rifle and the machine gun,
the modern bow and arrow, clubs and
spears of barbarism.
The progress of twenty centuries is
in the keeping of the United States.
The inconceivable has happened—the
impossible is about to occur. No man
cun foretell what atrocities will be per
petrated in Europe. A leap back to the
Dark Ages would be no greater mar
vel than the mad rush which has swept
the trustees of civilization into an ele
mental death grapple. The catastrophe
is already great; each day its magni
tude will be greater. In the ruin, not
of villages, but of whole cities and of
whole countries, men’s brutal passions
will be roused. They will know riot
what they do; the descent to Avernus
is easy; but the plodding hack to sun
light is slow and tedious.
Discard as of minor importance the
material aspects of the situation. We
cherish peace. It has been our national
blessing. It has leveled our mountains,
united our oceans, coixed wealth from
field and fo est and mine. It has brought
together the diverse races of the earth
and moulded them into a composite citi
zenship which has reveled in the achieve
ments its multiple virtues have at
tained. Peace, and the likelihood of
peace, has been America's lodestone.
Every material consideration demands
it. An excusable national selfishness is
for it.
Hold steady! There is a great, a more
inspiring reason why this nation in this
crisis must stand firm for peace and
keep its head. There is a "Statue of
Liberty Enlightening the World." The
name was a prophecy. Our embassies
abroad are representing all nations.
Each capital has turned to us as the ar
biter of justice. Some are urging us,
as the sole sentinel left, to see that the
established rules of warfare are main
tained. From Europe weary eyes, that
will be yet more Weary, are turned to
ward this temple of peace which we
have builded here. In our keeping is
the hope of tho world, what is left of
justice, spiritual and moral aspiration,
achievement in the arts and sciences.
Stop, look and listen! This is not a
game. The passions of millions are
aroused. We must make no mave to im
peril our sacred trusteeship. Better no
commerce at all than a policy which
may shatter the foundations of our neu
tral status. There must be at Wash
ington a calmness, a deliberation, a
sli wness of policy, that will assure the
maintenance of our position. Cool heads
are at a premium. The awful responsi
bility with which destiny haH burdened
us must he accepted. We hear the
white man’s burden, and the yellow
man’s and the brown man’s.
The whole weight of civilization rests
here—to be protected, preserved and
fostered. Never in the history of the
world was a government charged with
a more solemn task. It silences dema
gogues, hushes mere babblers, cuts
short tho speculation of thoughtful men
and dedicates them without reserve to
the one great problem of meeting the
terrible exigency with wisdom and with
courage. The cataclysm cannot he ex
aggerated nor the prodigious part the
United States must play in it magnified.
It iB as if hut one light were left burn
ing in the world—one glowing coal
from which exhausted nations in the
ev.ning of the carnage must renew
warming civilization.
Our Government must stand steady.
It must push aside all radicalism and at
tune its conservatism to the unparal
leled world situation. It, speaking for
the American people, is the only great
calm voice left—a voice to which mil
lions will look for comfort when at last
it is heard above the thunders of the
guns.

London, Aug. 26.—The correspondent
of the Daily Mail describes a visit
among the French who were wounded
in the battles of the Vosges and have
been brought to Vichy, whose palatial
hotels have been transformed into hos
pitals.
“I talked with many of these
wounded," he said. "Three men who
fought side by side were in one of the
hospitals. 'It iB probably our own fault
that we are here,’ one of them said.
‘Our major fell at the first volley, and
then all the other officers at succeeding
volleys. When we found ourselves
without officers, we, not bothering
about what was going on at the front,
rear or flank, fixed bayonets at 1,200
yards and went at them singing all the
way. We were just fifty yards from
the enemy when we were downed.’
“On an adjoining cot was a sturdy
peisantwho told me this story: ‘At
Cirey a spent shell fell full on my knap
sack, sending me sprawling face down
wards. I didn’t stir, expecting every
moment to be blown to atoms. After
what seemed a half hour, seeing that
the shell had not exploded, I hunched
up my shoulder and the shell gently
rolled off. It is a pity it was so big,
otherwise I should have brought it back
as a trinket for my sweetheart.’
"A wounded artilleryman contributed
the following experience: ‘I witnessed
one horrible Beene. Tho Germans were
shooting from the deep trenches among
which our artillery was doing terrible
work, but as fast as one German
dropped a fresh man took his place, un
til bodies of the Germans were on a level
with the surface of the earthworks.
At this moment a German battery was
ordered to advance. The heavy wheels
sank in the trench, but the drivers fu
riously lashed their horses and finally
dragged the guns across the human
bridge.’ ”
Diarrhoea Quickly Cured.
"My attention was first called to
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy as much as twelve
yoara ago. At that time I was seri
ously ill with summer complaint. One
dose of this remedy checked tho trou-
h'e,” writes Mrs. C. W. Florence,

Fateful Summer Weeks.
Chicago Herald.
Nine weeks ago a feeble-minded Ser
vian youth fired the shots that slew the
heir to the HapBburg throne. The trag
edy was regarded as making for the
peace of Europe rather than for war,
since Francis Ferdinand was believed
to have held very drastic views about
the course that should be taken toward
the Balkan States.
The Vienna government sought, how
ever, to indict the whole Servian people
for the crime. Little Servia accepted
eight of the eleven demands of her big
neighbor unconditionally, accepted two
conditionally, and rejected one only
conditionally. Servia’s submission was
denounced aH "filled with the spirit of
dishonesty,” and five weeks ago Vien-
nu declared war.
Then came the deluge! Russia re
fused to resign her long accepted role
of "big brother” to the minor Slavic
States. As Russia would not cease
from moving to the rescue of Servia
the German Emperor felt bound to move
to the aid of his ally of Vienna. Four
weeks ago Berlin declared war upon
Russia, and the German armies seized
"neutralized” Luxemburg and demand
ed free passage through independent
Belgium for the invasion of France.
How Belgium resisted, and appealed
to England for aid; how England re
jected what her prime minister termed
"the German bribe,” and sent out her
fleets; how war has since raged along
the Meuse and the Danube, on the plains
of Poland, and in nearly all the seven
seas; how nations which had not part
or lot in the quarrel have felt its de
structive shocks—that iB the history of
the last four weeks.
What will the next four weeks—the
next eight weeks—bring forth? Will
they see France crushed, England crip
pled, Russia repelled and Belgium over
whelmed? Or will they see Germany
ringed with fire and the Austro-Hunga-
gian empire in the throes of death?
These are the questions raised, and to
be answered, in these fateful summer
weeks of 1914.
