districts from which the money is dis
tributed have also been mainly to
banks in the Southwest and West. The

Across the waters drear, with force un-
spent,
Cometh the old unanswered questions
Why?
The universal air is filled and rent
With woful voices that forever cry
Against the judgments of the law of Fate
Forgive the doubt-but is II love or hate?
With us always the question and the
doubt
The darkness deepening as life grows old ,
We wonder Why. and longing look about
Yet still the dead their sacred silence
hold;
We cry TO them-they answer not again.
And love is twice tried in the throes of
pain.
All prayer seems useless as all quest is
vain,
Save that at last we shall be satisfied
Somewhere and sometime there is end of
pain,
Where love will live forever and abide
Somewhere and sometimes there is perfect
rest,
The answer to the doubt is: God knows
best

/ love you not because your eyes
Blue as the blue skies are,
Nor yet because your cheek outvies
The summer roses far.
The locks of gold that cling and curl
Around your forehead fair,
Your ruby lips, and teeth of pearl
Did ne'er my heart ensnare.
'Tis true the blackbirds in the trees,
The larks in ether clear,
VIII often cease their melodies
And list your voice to hear,
TO match your hands no lilies grow
In wood nor garden plot:
But for white hands and accents low,
Sweetheart. ! love you not.
But It's because that voice so soft
Has kindly words for all;
Because the tears of pity oft
From your bright eyes down fall;
Because your hands are strong to do
Good for the poor and lore:
Because your heart is brave and true
My heart is all your own.

The summer girl is coming hcme,
All Drowned and plump and rosy,
Prepared to make the winter seem
Extremely nice and cozy.
She's bathed, and danced, and walked, and
smiled
And read book and flirted
Till to the young man she has left
The whole world seems deserted
The flush of health is in her cheeks.
With fun her eyes are dancing;
The flush of conquest in her heart
Makes life seem more enhancing.
All! soon she'll be the winter girl,
And we shall bow before her.
For she was made to be adored,
And. therefore-we adore her.

The Day We Gathered GoIden-Kod

The Day We Gathered GO1den-Kod
day of glancing arrow points,
Ye. swathed in shadows, olive deep,
When curling leaves were shaken down
And drifted in a pungent heap;
When scarlet flowers fell asleep,
Each in a filmy pillow-pod,
And all the world was half adream-
The day we gathered golden-rod.
So still the air, In passing by
A rick of gathered corn we heard
A harvest spiders startled flight
Wherein yellow blade was stirred
Some late and lingering autumn bird
Sang low, his lazy head anod:
No haste nor harshness seemed to mar
The day we gathered golden-rod.
Wild brambles trailed a thorny web;
The sumac's lighthouse lowered high:
And damson plums made purple spots
In orchards that we wandered by.
A light was in the autumn sky;
A warmth was in the autumn sod
Deep autumn turquois tipped the heights,
The day we gathered golden-rod.
Our ways have somehow slipped apart
Since then, and you would think It
strange
The trihes of one idle day
Arise through every bitter change
And follow me in life's wide range;
To me, perhaps, 1t seems as odd
That Time will never let me lose
