WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

So many things there might have been
Had our dear child not died;
We count them all and call them DER,
We weigh the less against the more;
The Joy she never knew or shared,
The bitter woes forever spared.
The danger turned aside
Heavens full security, and then,
Perplexed. we sigh: All might have been.
We might have seen her sweet cheeks glow
With loves own happy bloom,
Her eyes with maiden gladness full,
Finding the whole world beautiful;
We might have seen the joyance fail,
The dear face sadden and grow pale,
The smiles fade into gloom,
Loves sun grow dim and sink again
Either of these IL might have been.
We might have seen her with the crown
or wifehood on her head.
queen of homes fair sovereignties,
With little children at her knees;
Or broken-hearted and alone,
Bereft and widowed of her own
Mourning beside her dead;
This thing or that. beyond our ken,
1t might have been, II might have been.
There is no need Of question now,
No doubts, or risks, or fears:
Safe folded in the Eternal care,
Grown fairer each day and more fair.
With radiance in the clear young eyes.
Which. in cool depths of Paradise,
Look without stain of tears,
Reading the Lords intent. and then
Smiling to think what might have been.
We. too will smile. o dearest child;
Our dull souls may not know
The deep things hidden from mortal sense,
Which find thy heavenly confidence;
On this one sure thought can we rest.
That God has chosen for thee the best,
Or else 1t were not so.
He called thee back to Heaven again.
Because He knew what might have been.

There were thousands of yards of duck
and canvas stored in the building.
This stuff burned fiercely. Great
patches would every moment part COM

blazing like SO many fire balloons.
These fiery rags menaced buildings all
over the neighborhood and actually
set fire to the Burnham, Hanna & Mum.

the fire was at its height and the whole
block was expected to go, there was a
panic in the buildings all around the
square on West Fifth and Main and
people began moving out their prop
