You cannel tell much about a man's
faith by las wIllhignees to dent hi fu-

And yst no man is ready to face the

.high and worthy faith. This alone cart

None of us can know what these new
days hold for us; featreadily conjures
up pictures of disa.sbee. But because of
.cortain sublime confidences we hold wo
-bentsh our fears, shake off our sloth,
and gladly step out into the uelenown
and unteodden °auntie' of toetionew,
Faith is the force of all ihe ages, It
eutoolues Ior the past; it enters and de-
taranes the future. Beettuse carted

No man or woman is doing anything
that maks the world richer for mere
bread and butler.; sente Purpose aria

11; Is because somehow we believe, no
matter how weamay phraise Um belief,
that destiny Is behind thls strange
weaving we call life that we are content
to seem to be the shuttles jerked hither
and thither. -We bear the ills of to-
day because we dimly see the glorious
goal of the good of aII, We do a full
day's work only as we see eom.ehow an
eternal wage.

It bs not the thing you do so mud).
as the spirit in which you do it that

Faith determines this for falth Is

Nor is this all. It le faith thatdraws

KAISER BUYS MILLINERY
GERMAN EMPEROR INVESTS IN
HATS F011 WIFE.

• Plumes-Einpress Says Ilis
l'asie is Good.
The Kaiser proved again that he is the
most versatile of =names by pereon-
alla 'selecting on the last day of his
reeent visit in London, England, a num-
be' of hats for the Kaiserin.
There are very few men indeed in this
world who can choose successfully a
lady's hat. It le tho German Empeos's
proud boast that het' husband's artistic
tato in millinery is as good as her own.
LetiVing 111151 task of choosing to the
very lust moment, in order, no doubt, to
secure the latest possible fashione, the
Emperor- requested that a selectkm of
hats should be sere to 111e Germen Ein-
Missy by the firm of Paquin.
A mamba! of specially designed hats,
made in London, were al, once sent, and
the Emperor oho ° several of Um smart-
e.st "picture" models, to teko back to
Berlin.
OSPREYS BANNED.
His Majesty would not look al any hat
which had osprey plumos, thereby prov-
ing his humanity end his love for the
beautiful birds that are butchered at the
very time of all ahem, when they
should be protected, namely, in the nest-
ing season. But of ostrich feathers he
eeidently approves. For some of the
hats were absolutely laden with the
richest exnmples of that becoming
plumage.
The German Empress has a fair and
very pretty cornplexiont and exquisite
silver -white hair. Tho hals. bought for
her by her husband were evidently most -
carefully selected to 'enhance tho beauty
of her coloring, His Majesty is appar-
ently favorably impreseed by the large
hats that are being worn, for erich one
that Ile bought is of gigantic- size,
though by no means mushroom in shape.
On the contrary, the brims are diver

sifted exceedingly in form. Ono is turned
