LEES PALIMPsEsr.

Love chose face clear lighted by the soul.
And wrote OF cheek and brow her thought
divine,
1.-THE stars shall vanish from the heavens wide
scroll,
Times story ends-Eternity Is minei"
Life came, and at her bidding pain and care
Blurred the fair page. Its rosy hues effaced;
Hiding the tender story written there,
With heavy lines by ruthless fingers traced.
Death came and breathed upon each crossing
line,
Till. sunk In frost, 1t paled and vanished
slow:
And 10! once more Loves prophecy divine.
From the SCARED brow, shone forth with
heavenly glow.
And when men looked upon the coffined face
They said. "IIe lies as in dream of bliss;
Such calm he wore in manhood's early grace,
So smiled his lips when youth and hope were
his"
Under the down dropped lids there strangely
crept
Serener light than falls from star or sun.
And a low whisper through the silence swept,
"Time's story ends when Loves is but be-
gun!"

Paradoxical as it may sound, it Is
nevertheless true that few men can af-

they want to create good impression,

by appearances. In fact, there is a COM

or all the pleasant days that came to pass;
That here we took the berries from the grass,
There charmed tho bees with pans, and smoke
unrolled,
And spread the melon nets when nights were
cold,
Or pulled the bloodroot in the underbrush,
And marked the ringngo of the tawny thrush,
While all the west was broken, burning gold
And so bind with rhymes these memories,
AS girls press pansies In the poets leaves
And find them afterward with sweet sur

Or treasure petals mingled with perfume,

Odd Fellows Celebration.

Tuesday the members of Valley
Lodge, No. 95, and Clara Barton r. ID.
Lodge No. 81, of this city, celebrated
the 73d anniversary of American Odd
Fellowship. Our home lodges were as
sisted by the Odd Fellows and Daugh-
tiers of Rebekah of Hoisington.
at 1920 a. m. the members of our
home lodges marched, about 200 strong
to the Mo. z. depot, where special
train carrying forty or more OF the Wis
iting brothers and sisters was met, and
the visitors escorted up town to the
lodge rooms.
After spending an hour OF two in
social converse the banquet hall was
opened, and magnificent dinner was
served to the hungry hosts with all the
good cheer and hospitality for which
the fair Daughters of Rebekah are
famous.
When all had dined the lodge room
was again sought. and several hours
were spent in listening to songs, adj
dresses, toasts, etc. Very interesting
addresses were made by Col. Joe 81.
Borders of Hoisington; Frank e. Smith
of Great Bend; Mrs. Fannie McCor-
mick, DR.. W. II. Hall, Ed r. Moses,
and others. The songs were all highly
appreciated, having been selected for
their appropriateness to the occasion.
In the evening the visitors were taken
in charge by the resident brothers and
sisters. The miserable high wind that
blew from the south all day prevented
much outdoor demonstration, and
made il somewhat unpleasant indoors.

received new inspiration, registered
