THE POPPIES IN TIE CORN

When the mist in pearly columns
Rises Ter the hillt ps gray,
And the dews Of Early daw ling
In the grasses melt away,
Then the sun in softened splendor
Sheds his first rays thro' the morn,
Lo, they kiss the sleepy faces
Of tn poppies i'll the corn.
Ger the scene there falls silfnce,
All the twittering song-birds still;
As the lark, his far flight taking,
Circles toward the distant hill,
Up and upward, flies triumphant,
Earth-bred warbler, heaven born,
Till song steals down from cloudand
Ger the poppies in the corn.
Slowly comes tho hush of noontide,
Not leaf sways on the trees,
Not dewdrop on the grasses,
Not the whisper of eeze.
GLOW, the sun in scorching fury,
One wee butterfly forlorn,
Painting falls in dying struggles
On the peoples in tie corn.
Soft breeze comes rustling over,
Signing thro' the cedars tall,
stirs the grapes in hanging clusters
On the mold'ring vne-clad wall,
Sinks the sun in amber glory,
Dies the day as night is born,
One wee star peeps through the twilight
At the peoples in the corn.

Some idea of the enormous propo-

has assumed in this country may be
gained from the fact that there are in
the United States upward of $4,000

be termed inns and taverns, and what
are commonly known as apartment
houses, although the latter are in
many instances conducted as hotels, IN
