NINETEENTH CENTURY GIRL.
Selected By Annie L. Williams
Once upon a time
Women were the vine
That chung unto the tabled sturdy oak
They say IFS not the proper thing,
However, now to cling,
And this ibeorys doomed TO be q joke.
The oak trees of to-day
Have such u selfish way
OF thinking that the earth is theirs alone,
The timid, trusting vine
TO resent this doth incline.
She wants n foot OF ground 10 call her owns
She knows that she was born
The oak tree TO adorn,
But all she asks light and room TO grow.
Did not the same dear earth
Give both vine and oak trees birth?
1t is hard TO make an oak believe 1t, though
Still / shouldn't wonder much
III this lately dreamed OF touch
or independence in "A vine would yet effect
A change for much-nay, more
Than the worlds been looking for
1t may do more good than you or expect.
LET Us EVER BE MINDFUL
Let US ever be mindful OF the privileges and
Liberties we are enjoying to-day through the
sacrifices of our valiant defenders in preserving
this Nation as one UNREASONABLE, with one flag,
the Stars and Stripes the emblem of the grand
est country on the globe.
We owe to orr loyal defenders more than we
can repay. Let as show our appreciation and
gratitude to our brave surviving veterans by
participating in the Memorial exercises aud
tenderly strew flowers upon the graves of our
herioc dead. w. +. Volz, Reading, Kan.

IN PAPA's STUDY
By Ida Nay Rdybert NcUarE N. j.
All the household were asleep
Dawn had just begun 10 creep
Forth to- wake the silent morn;
From my cares distract aud worn
Quietly stole away
To my study. ere the dny
Came to steal my short reposc.
There the perfumes of n rose
Waited TO my snng retreat;
Robins sang their maths sweet.
Suddenly were thoughts disturbed
With n sound scarcely heard
Like "a clierub from the SIX les
Ros ui5h laughter in his eyes
Snowy night robe. runp ed curIs
Cheeks like peaches, teeth like pearls
And there came my rogussh Ray
Scramblinx Ia hs roRpug way
On my knee; rogue own
Two arms round my neck were thrown
Papa love co." he said
Then his rumpled. curly head
Nestled lac upon my breast,
Like a birding In its nest
Sweet he smiled with winsome art
"Yeth love 'ooi" Bless his hearth
Then carried him away
Cheered 10 meet tie busy day.
