Lilies.

What is the way the lilies grow?
They sleep in winter under the snow,
And stir in their sleep, and dream of the sky
-Tney shall look up TO by ana by;
And when the spring, with hngers small,
Reaches and touches and wakes them all,
Then out they come, and up they go;
That is the way the lilies grow.
And yet they do not suddenly leap
Up from the bed of their winter sleep,
Saying, Behold. how grand are we,
As big to-day as ever We'll bei'
oh. no; that is not the lilies way,
With strain. and striving To grow in a day:
Calm and happy. and sure and slow
That is the way the lilies grow,
They draw their strength for leaf and stem
Out of the earth that Graded them;
Then catch in their tiny hands the rain
To wash them clean of earthly stain,
And lift their faces to air and sun
That clothe in beauty every one,
To heaven above from earth below
That is the way the lilies grow!
By and by, when the time is come,
All unconscious they bud and bloom.
Then, in a glory that far outshines
Richest splendors Of royal lines,
over the meadows in bright array,
The lilies cluster, and seem to say,
How this happened we do not know,
But that is the way We lilies grow!'
Little children land larger. tooD,
Let the lilies say this to you:
Would you climb to the upper air,
Strong. unsullied. and free of care,
Gathering ever from earth and sky,
Grace and glory In full supply,
Would you win life's victory so?
Consider the lilies. how they grow.

OFFERINGS OF THE POETS.
The Judge.

Thou shalt not judge" thou cans't not judge
Thou hast
Not power to pull the flesh aside and see
Down to the very heart-roots; thou cans't no
blast
The outer crust and meath the rough debris
Discover where the motive dwells; nor chance
To taste the stream when first 1t hows-before
The tincture OF peculiar Circumstance
Hath given to the pure. sweet water more
OF bitterness. Such fearful work can be
Performed by Him alone who sits above
All hearts and by His glance as with a key
Unlocks the inner life of hate and love.
What matter then If true souls feel the blight.
shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Golden summer and glowing wood
And shining leaves o'erhead,
Mazes of verdue and blossom
And fair green moss to tread.
VINO should be gayer than I?-but no.
L wait and my heart is sore,
Listen and wait for a bird to sing
That sang in the wood before.
What though the rieA air quiver.
The waters sparkle along,
what though the cushat is cooling.
L am waiting for that one song.
Waiting and listening and onging.
Summer is shining in vain.
Waiting and listening and longing
For the song of that bird aEain.
But l know that If one bright presence
Adown the pathway drew near.
That bird on the instant were singing
The whole Of my world were here.

woman's organization that forbids it,. and
we are finding out more and more daily.
Many young women are too lazy to grow
strong. They cannot walk n dozen blocks,
or do anything that calls for the slightest
physical strength. Why? Because there Is
an inherent quality in the woman's body
forbidding it? Not at all. Because they new
er have done it, There is no other reason
on earth
The women who are growing stronger
mentally and physically can smile at the
DIRECTORS who tell them they cannot do this
or that and answer by doing what they are
accused of being incapable of doing. But
the more timid and the younger ones. who
yet hesitate to venture into new fields OF
activity in the face of opposition and ridi-
opinion and the encouragement Of those
who have gone before.

The pedigree of the young Duke Is dis
tinguished. 1t practically begins with Sir
Henry Montagu, who IN 1920 was created
Baron Monfagu. when he was Lord Treas
urer of England. In 162e this gentleman
was made Earl of Manchester. The fourth
Earl Of Manchester did a lucky thing when
he took sides with William of Orange.
When the latter scored his historical sue
cess he did not forget the Earl. and In Ills
the Earl was made Duke OF Manchester.
The young Dukes mother is an American.
She was Miss Consuelo Yznaga. daughter
of Antonio Yznaga del Vale, of Ravens
wood. La. In 1855 she married George Vic
tor Drogo Montagu, Viscount Vaudeville.
Later Lord Vaudeville became the Duke or
Manchester upon the death of his father.
AS Lady Vaudeville she visitedaMr. and
Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt shortly after
their marriage, and the result was a big
row between the newly welded couple. Mr..
Vanderbilt. 1t was said. was too attentive
to Lady Vaudeville. Mrs. Vanderbilt doubt
less repented Of her jealousy. for when her
first baby came she was christened Con-
suelo. after Lady Vaudeville. That baby
is now the young Duchess OF Marlborough.

Peace on earth and harvest timei
Hail the day, but heal the scars,
Heavens blue. yon hammered stars
Blending in the far sublime.
Sing peace on earth and harvest time!
Peal the cannon, Clang the bell.
Wave the banners, Bow and pray.
Turn in gratitude to-day
To mighty men who fought and fell
To Him who doeth all things well.
Peace on earth and harvest time,
The farmer sings: the battlefield
Bears on her breast a cleaning shield
OF corn that clangs in rippled rhyme
Lo! Peace on earth and harvest timei

was glad to sell him. and Henry found
things so reasonable compared with home
prices that he bought a table and three
common chairs and a patent rocking chair
and a bedstead and a stove and some car
pet and a nice brass kettle. But when he
offered a handful Of Hamilton county dol
