There's Morse tale that centuries ago
The god Of Summer regucd the Whole year
Aud Jealous of the sweetness everywhere,
With songs and fragrance filing the soft air,
The gods united and the fair god slew.
Down to deaths prison house his form was
borne,
While earth affrighted trembled at the
Grew white with anguish moaning in de-
Spair,
Pleaded his pardon. urging her sore need,
And begged for warmth again and milder
air.
Close folded were the petals Of the flowers:
Trees dropping their leaves, huShed was the
lurmuring song
y 'ooks and streams; the whole earth
Sewing long
shraud,
And moaned and moaned through the long
Wintry hours.
Cost what it may" one of the gods de-
cIared.
t'To ransom and bring back the Summer
go today down to the dark abode;
It was through Us the earth was SO be-
Through rs his pardon, too, shall be re-
ceivedn
And he went riding through the dangerous
Still on and on through day and night he
rode.
Until he reached that dismalest abode;
Foul tiendS were near, he met them all I'M
harmed,
Since with a noble purpose he was armed.
At last he reached the prison gates and
sprung
From his tired steed; backward the doors
In welcomeE"Nay, I come not here to
rest.
But to release sweet Summer then he
told
Them how the earth bereaved was pale
and cold
Told them for all the bIeakness dwelling
Upon the poor dead flowers, their petals
chilled
By cruel frosts, the tender birds were
Silence was broken by single song,
With deSOlation the whole land was filled.
The keeper of the prison heard the plea,
It touched his heart, he promised he would
bring
Sweet summer back again. ''Your god
shall come
Once more to cheer the earth when comes
the Spring.
But in the Fall again call him home!"
Thus every Spring, according to the rune,
The smiling god returns. the flowers appear;
Rejoice with the glad earth and grieye

With her when he departs: pallid with fear
They faint with terror with the Winter

Mexico, and after We shook hands he
said:
"How is your sister, FRANKIE
"'She is WELL replied
THE minister's mind then returned
to some business for five minutes and
then he said:
How is your sister FRANKIE and
again replied that she was well. Five
minutes later he raised his eyes from
some papers and remarked:
