' THE CHILDREN OF CHERRY.
The .fire In the grate sends a sparkle
and' glitter of light to the wall.
The shadows grow eerie, and darkle the
'ceiling and floor as they fall;
And comfort winds soft round my
heartstrings, my soul has a gentla
. content
' The -world with its griefs and its sor
' ' rows is barred by the gladness
. (x - here pent.
Then,- O, through the peace and the
stillness, there comes ever poig
nant and. wild
.The sobs of the children of Cherry
" ' the eob pf the woe of a child!
And here where the grate fire is glow-
. -' Ing I 6lt and I muse and I see
The grief of the children unknowing
. of all of the grief-there may he
- I see their wet eyes as they question
the men at the mouth of the pit.
Their lips are a-quiver with sorrow
I eee it all here as I sit,
And- thre Is no gladness In thinking
. ",f children who question alone,
NO gladness, it seems, from perdition
; Clear up to the heavenly throne!
For grief may have place in our bos
oms when we know tho burden
; of years,
. And sorrow may hold us in spirit
' when we know the taste of our
: tears
' But, children the children of Cherry
they know not how fortune ha3
planned;
they simply look on at life dumbly,
'tis not that they may understand
Poor, wistful, wan laddies and lassies,
who look at the answerless sky
Ind feel the cold gloom 'round their
spirits and silently ask of us
"Why?"
Mid Christmas is coming! God henr
us, and In his infinite design
tt ub' hold the children of Cherry r.s
though they were yours and were
mine!
Td rather my home were all silent, I'd
rather my Christmas were bare,
rhan any wee child down in Cherry
found Santa had never been thero.
Tor, O, through the peace and the still
ness there come ever poignant and
wild
Hie sobs of the children of Cherry
tho pitiful grief of the child!

Present Generations Do Not

SAYS DR. T. H. McMICHAEL
President of Monmouth College In an
Address Before the Broadway
Men's Club.
An Interesting address, full of his
torical events, wit and anecdotes, was
delivered by Dr. Thomas H. McMlch
ael, president of Monmouth college,
before 100 members and friends of tho
Men's club of Broadway Presbyterian
church last evening. The meeting
was presided over by Allan D. Welch,
president of the club, and the speaker
was Introduced by Rev. J. L. Vance,
pastor of ' the United Presbyterian
church. "Living In Other Men's
Houses" was the title of the address.
Dr. McMichael said in part: "The
men of today are living in other men's
houses and are eating the things
which were planted by other men.
Adam Is the only man who stands out
alone and -unique where other mn
have benefited by the labors of others.
Other men have labored and we have
entered into the products of their
labors. The only reason that we are
enjoying this life, in such a vast do-
gree, is because of the suffering and
hardship suffered by those who have
gone before us. It was because of the
hard labor of our ancestors that we
are allowed to enjoy the telephone
or appendicitis; the street car or a
microbe. There have been very few
inventions that are now benefiting us
but. have been accomplished by hard
labor, suffering and sometimes starva
tion.
Ileirnrd Slight.
"In most cases the reward to the
inventor has been exceedingly slight.
C. W. Mortlson, who discovered the
anaesthetic which makes the once
painful surgical operation painless, re
ceived three gold medals for his labors
and when, while he was still young,
he was pn hi3 deathbed and noted phy
sicians were gathered there, his wife
told of the suffering which he had en
dured and showed them the three
medals as the reward which he had
received. In back of every conveni
ence which we enjoy is the vigil and
thought of some one who has toiled
for us, and we fall to give him duo
honor.
"If it had not been for the hardshlpa
and agonies which the Man of Galllso
endured, and the suffering of his fol
lowers we would not now have th-3
great privileges which we enjoy In our
churches. If the Pilgrims had not
been willing to die for the privilege
of worshipping God as they wished we
could not be sitting here now and en-
Joying the good things which they sac
rificed themselves for.
Freaent Problem Just aa Great.
"We have our own responsibilities.
We should not merely enjoy these
privileges, but we should conserve
them for posterity. The problems
which confront us today are just as
great as those which confronted our
ancestors. The great question which
we must meet at present is that i.f
temperance. We must stand on one
side or tho other. The Immigration
question Is also a very important on.
These immigrants come to this coun
try by the thousands and settle in tho
congested districts of the larger cities
or at the mines. Can we make good
Americans of them? Will they assim
ilate our ideals or give us their low
ideals?
"We must serve our day and genera
tion as cur ancestors served their's
so that posterity may have reason to
give us some of the same cheers that
we have for thoso who have labored
and gone before."
William Parks, who was sent to tho
convention of the Brotherhood of Illi
nois at Jacksonville, Nov. 11.12, gave
a report of the meeting.

Rumored that Yoakum and
Winchell Are to Leave and
Go Vith Hawley Lines.
BOTH DENY ANY CHANGES
Said That Former's Private Ventures
Are Not Pleasing to the
Owners.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 20. Persistent
rumors of an Impending ehake
ap in the Rock Island-Frisco sy.v
em and possible financial rearrange
ments that will change the railroad
map of the country have reached Chi
cago from New York and St. Louis,
the headquarters of the Frisco. These
rumors furnished one of the main toi
ics of discussion among the railroad
officials in attendance at the meeting
of the American Railway association
here this week.
, According to the reports, B. F. Yoa
kum, chairman of the executive com
mittee of both the Rock Island and
Frisco, has resigned and will become
allied with the Hawley system and
tho Missouri, Kansas & Texas, which
he recently acquired Jointly with the
Hawley interests.
Winchell With Him.
B. Ll Winchell, president of the
Rock Island and vlco chairman of the
Frisco at Chicago, is to go with him,
according to the story, although an
other version has it that Mr. Winchell
will succeed Mr. Yoakum at the head
of the combined roads.
Mr. Yoakum and Mr. Winchell, in
New York last night, both denied the
truth of the reports.
A. J. Davidson, president of the
Frisco, at St. Louis, recently resigned
and announced that he had made
other arrangements, and Carl R. Gray,
vice president of the road, Mho wis
elected to his place on the hoard, has
been picked by the railroad gossips
as his successor as president.
Long standing and Increasing fric
tion between Mr. Yoakum and the
Moore and Reld Interests, which con
trol the Rock Island and Frisco, is
said to have prompted Mr. Yoakum's
resignation.
