Joseph Holland who was charged with
conducting an extensive ''speak-easy"

The verdict was wholly unexpected by
the msjority Of those who witnessed
the trial. Judge Gordon turned to-
wards the jury box and said:
Gentlemen of the jury, l desire to
say that l wholly dissent from your

evidence and is q signal failure of JUS

Should we our blessings wholly
Forgetf
When the seedtime tasks were done,
We know how the earth and air and sun
Brought us beautiful harvest At Last.
Then wait.
The river of life is now turning
The wheel.
Little by little are we now learning
That all things work together,
In sunshine and stormy weather,
For good, and joy will come at Last.
Then hope.
We never understand rightly
Just why
The sun does not always shine brightly
In our sky
Till we feel the sunshinY calm
That follows the furious storm
And smile at the danger that's past.

Europe is an armed camp.

And every man ia trained to XIII:

The Snowman losses there and locks,
They will be taken forth some day
To act in dreadful tragedy.
When next the battle blast is blown,

Whole nations In a mass shall rise
And rush to bloody sacrifice,
While from the seas their cannons roar
10 answering cannon on the shore.
Peace means and losses in her sleep
And thinks she sees a shadow creep
To plunge a dagger in her breast
She struggles. with the dream oppressed.
Then starts in terror from the bed
The sword has fallen from its head
When will 1t come, for come it must
The great and awful holocaust,
The solemn cannon thunder loud,
The black and heavy sulphur cloud,
Which, like a death pail in the sky,
Shall hang where countless thousands die:

The sudden lightnings. leaping wide
To blast the armies in their pride?
