The timid robin comes tF
In pity drive him not away,
But scatter out your crumbs. ..I,
And leave your door upon the latch
For whosoever comes
The poorer they mOfo welcome give.
And scatter out your crumbs.
All have to spare, none are too poor,
When want with winter comes
The loaf is never all your own,
Then scatter out The crumbs.
Soon winter falls upon your life;
The day Of reckoning comes
Against your sins, by high decree,
Are weighed those scattered crumbs.

The City Of Death.

Paris is a city Of death. The war
Of determination has been raging for
weeks and now comes the execution
of the insurrcctionists. Tie city is
literally ia ashes, the Communists
having used powder and petroleum
to carry out their work Of terror and
destruction. Prisoners are being shot
by the Theirs government by the
hundreds. 1t is estimates that over
fihy thousand dead bodies lie in the
houses and cellars of the mad city,
mostly women and children.
When such state of things exist,
may we not earnestly hope that the
last ditch is reached. Paris to day
should excite the pity Of the world.
