WORTH WHILE
THE SHEPHERDESS.
Khe walks—-the ludy of my delight—
A shepherdess of sheep,
ller flocks are thoughts. She keeps
them while;
She guards litem from (he steep;
Hhe f.-eils them on the fragrant height
And folds them In for sleep.
fcihe roams maternal htlla and bright,
Dark valleys safe and deep.
Into tlml tender breast at night
The chastest stars may peep.
Mia walks—the lady of iny delight—
A shepherdess of sheep.
She holds her little thoughts In night,
Though guy they run and leap.
IShe is so circumspect and right;
She hits her aottl to keep.
She walks Ihe lady of my delight—
A shepherdess of sleep.

The Harmful Hitting Habit.
May I have a hobby horse?
Oh, how 1 should like HI
If you promise faithfully
You will never strike It;
Not that you could hurt the wood—
On pain a painter rabbit —
Itiit kind children mutt not learn
The harmful hit ling habit.
The Canary,
Little captive in your sage.
I Joes it never seem an use
To you there from day to day.
From your kindred, far away?
You have neither nest nor mate—
Yet you blithely sing and wait;
What a pretty price to give
For the privilege to live!
Scandal ts spiced gossip and It gen
erally comes put up In family Jara.
The Tired Qirl.
Jessie May could play all day
From morning until night;
At tag. I epy. or run-sheep-run,
But when the dishes were not done—
And mother vainly railing—
Poor Jessie May would fade away
With weariness appalling.
A Fiaile Vacation.
My summer plans all went for naught
Vacation .toys were not for me;
Instead of “at the seaside.”
I was simply “nil at sea."

LETTERS «THE PEOPLE
WHAT DO THEBE THINGS MEAN?
I'or years tho leading statesmen of
the world have been looking for the
dow'iifall of tho Turkish Empire, an'i
said that it would involve a univer
sal war.
In David 11, is a literal prophecy of
the Turk, called the "King of tho
North.” It says: "He shall come to
his end and none shall help him.”—
V. 45.
The Turks have a tradition today
that whenever they are compelled to
have Constantinople, then they will
establish thrlr capital at . Jerusalem.
Now that is .lust where the Bible says
(V. 46): "He shall plant the taber
nacles of his palace between the seas
In the glorious holy
There, according to Joel, 3:5-14, the
great battle of "Armageddon” will be
fought.
In Revelations, 16:12-15, the great
river ‘ Euphrates will be dried up.
River waters” in Rev. 17:15 means
people. Now all this takes place un
der the sixth plague; but the plagues
are not poured out till the door of
mercy has closed, and God’s sealing
work of Rev. 7 has been finished.
V Ind In prophecy means war. The
four angels of Rev. 7 are about to lot
6" fron > bolding the nations in check.
Yes. dear reader, we are about to
nntcr the great time of trouble spoken
of In Dan. 12: J Rut at that time
God’s people will lie delivered, even
every one who have their names writ
ten in His hook.
1 cs, we are in the closing scenes
of this world’s history. And God’s
word says: ‘’This gospel of the king
dom shall he preached in all the world
for a witness unto all nations and
then shall the end come.”—Matt. 24:14.
Within the past few years the "gos
pel has been going to every nation
under the sun. and He will finish tho
work and cut tt short In righteous
ness.

North German Lloyd Would
Also Follow the Hamburg
American in Disposing of
Certain Steamers.
New York.—ln view of the recent
announcement by the Hamburg-
American Line that it was consider
ing bona-fide offers for the purchase
by Americans of some of its vessels
tied up In American waters, inquiry
was made today at the offices of
other German lines to determine
whether similar offers were being en
tertained. At the North German Line
this declaration was made by its pub
licity representative:
“The North German Lloyd Line is
willing now, as it always has been in
the past, to sell any of its ships If it
can get the price it demands for them.
The present situation in Europe has
nothing to do with our willingness to
sell. We always have been ready to
sell them.”
Thre are at present eleven ships of
the North Gorman Lloyd Line in
American waters. Upon these the
line places an approximate valuation
of $20,500,000. In Daeific waters the
line has eight ships, valued in all, at
$5,000,000.
A FESTIVE SIRE.
"Young Mr. Toddles seems very

father tangoes in the open air one hae
to do something to help maintain the
family dignity.”
