ONLY NEWSPAPER,

''Only . newspaper" Quick read, quick LOST,
Who sums the treasure that it carries henoeY
Torn, trampled under feet, who counts thy
cost?
Star-eyed intelligence!
And ye, the nameless! Best beloved host!
NY heart recalls more than one vanished
face,
Struck from the rank Of toilers-early lost,
And leaving not trace.
Martyrs of news! Young martyrs Of the press!
Princes Of giving from largness Of brain;
One leaf Of laurel stepped in tenderness,
Take ye, 0, early slain.
Though in the authors pantheon, no niche OBJ.
ecure
Your waning names can hold forever fast,
The seeds of truth ye blow afar are sure
To sprlnr and live Ut last
On lonely wastes, within the swarming marts,
In silent dream, in speaking deeds Of men;
Quick with momentum from your deathless
hearts,
Your thoughts will live again.

despatch informing him that his mother

He had only few momentsin which to

The sickness and death Of his mother had
detained him at his county home until he
was sent for by me, when he lost no time in
