Ye houndless prairies OF the westi
OF all earthss lands love You best.
Your grassy hills and flow'ry dells
Are gentle as the oceans swells.
They stretch away till skies descend
And with your line OF beauty blend,
And all their sunlit glories rest
Upon the prairies OF the west.
Tho gentle zephyrs as they pass
Are softly whispering TO the grass
OF tribes now sleeping meath the sod
Which once your velvet hillocks trod.
Hove IN solitude TO 70
Where roamed the deer and buffalo.
And where the pillow has not distressed
The virgin prairies Of the west
No EaIIed-in mountain homo for me,
But prairies, endless, broad and free,
That stretch In beauty all around,
unclaimed. unbroken and Profound
Above. the blue; below. the green;
Unbending beauty spread between
OF all earth's lands love you best
Ye boundless prairies OF the westi

A Greek Find.

The French Archaeological school in
Greece is in luck. In the course OF
their excavations at Delphi they discov-
cred, it seems, an inscription of hymn
to Apollo, with the musical notes. This
is find of the utmost interest, for
music is one of the lost arts of Greece.
We know what effect it had on those
who heard it and how large part 1t
played in the views of philosophers.
But of the nature of it we know very
little-less even than we know OF that
other lost art, the Greek art of paint
ing. The French school will indeed
have reason to he proud of their dig
gings if in this hymn of Apollo be found
a key wherewith to unlock a closed
page in the knowledge Of old Greek
civilization. Westminster Gazette.

A good, honest fellow in his way was
Bill Bolts, but he had never had an
opportunity to study moral philosophy as
it is taught in the colleges and unlver-

footsteps by enlisting in the navy to
fight for his queen and country when
ever called upon to do so.

China, he brought with him present
