We bring our Spring sweet flowers to deck their
bed;
And does not deep symbol herein rest'
For every bud in present form expressed
Is but the soul of myriad blossoms dead;
And this dear Mother Earth Of ours who fed
Their tender life from her abundant breast,
Says gently to us that TO all things best
Some sacrifice the upward way has led.
So, standing here beside our nobly brave
Who died for men, that through their own harsh
doom
Might come the freer life they should not see
Our faith grows strong that their great dying
gave
Tho fruitful world the soil from which shall bloom
The perfect flower of human liberty.

Now, there's bit of penmanship worthy
Of consideration. You can't tell whether it
came from an insane asylum or is blot Of
ink struck by cyclone. Nevertheless, it is
the name Of Mary Anderson, the famous
tragedienne. Editor, lawyer or bank officer
could have done no worse Hieroglyphics on
the obelisk are more legble, and a mans
time who attempts to decipher the mysteri-
Gus confguration is simply wasted. Yet tho
signs are characteristic of woman who can
"tear a passion to tatters," ride wild horses,
or sail boat in a storm and in an hour after
ward be as denlure as a nun in her devotions
ut the altar. 1t may he that during her
engagement in England the disposition
to scatter this sort of photographic grape
shot has undergone a change, but, if not,
she continues to give her correspondents a
headache Fancy a lover receiving letter
filled with such a tangle.
