A SONG OF FORGETTING.


The hours az piaythings were-ah, mel
Aud laughter lived in every word
What time that love was young and Rieo
In every pulsing heart throb stirred.
Tho Wild plum blossomed in the glen.
The rabbit raced across the plain.
And frightened birdlings hurried whsn
Our hounds and horses tramped the grain.
Down in the grove beside the spring
We rested when tho race was won.
And listened to the wood bird sing
A Lullaby when daT Tas dcro.
But, All, you wandered from my side
And paved the long lone lane OF years
With memory stones and loss too wide
For sobs to sootho with memory tearA
And now you come-come bnck to me
To FIJI Rs then. the old time place
Where Is the magic OF your plvA3
What change has come upon your facet
Oh, friend. TO lose and still love on,
To live on chaR instead OF grain
Is better thnn 70 feel lovu gone
Forgetting Is the scenest pain.

Tho chronicles of 1850 speak Of 100
vessels in its basins and Of German mer-
chants carrying away over 1000 pieces
Of cloth to the distant lands of Russia
and Poland. 1t was the exchange of Eu-
rope, possessing in the fourteenth CEN
tury 90 guilds and 100, 900 inhabitants,
more than three times as many as it
now contains. Among its wares we read
of leather from Spain, wool from Eng.
land, silk from Italy and Persia. linen
and cloth from Brabant, hemp and fax
from Holland. wine from Portugal,
Greece and France aud hardware from
Germany, which included every variety
OF object in ivory, bone. wood, glass.
tin, copper, lead. iron. silver and gold
1t had its factories, its curriers', its dy-
ers, and its taxation considerably ex-
ceeded that OF Ghent. But at the com.
mencement Of the fourteenth century its
troubles began-troubles from within
and from without
The Suene was rendered useless by
tho invasion of sand as far as Sluis
(Eoluse), treachery. slaughter and po-
litioal jealousies and rivalries completed
the fall. and in 1914 its inhabitants had
diminished to 1896 Then came the re-
ligious wars and prosecutions from 1867
to 1884, the fanatics and the Gueux de-
stroying what remained, leaving little
for the French reVolutionists. Good

How the Great Irish Leader Came 20
Enter rOIItIcs.
Charles Stewart Parnell was 90 years
old before he made his entry into the
political arena. How the step was taken
is thus described by Mr. R. Barry
O'Brien in his biography of the great
Irish leader
Zone night during tho general cleo
ton of 1874 Parnell dined with his sis
ter. Mrs Dickinson. in Dublin After
dinner Captain Dickinson said We'll,
Charles. why don't you go into parlia

about that tomorrow The great thing
is you have decided to stand

1.-The two brothers then went away to-
gether 1t was now II o'clock. and they
found Gray at The Freeman's Office
He was amazed when Parnell entered
and said. Il have come to say. Mr.

1t was only the year after that. on the
death of John Mitchell. Parnell was re-
turned for Meath At first it is plain
that Parnell had few II any followers

The swIss PARLIAMENT.

Switzerland differs from other coun-
tries in many things and one Of the
most remarkable is the way In which
its parliamentary debates are conduct
cd. A Swiss member of parliament can
express himself in French, German or
Italian. and the privilege is freely used.
When the president of the federal as
sembly speaks in German. his remarks
are translated by a secretary in close
proximity to him. All the laws and
resolutions, before being voted upon,
are drawn mp In French, German and
Italian, and every official report is pub
hshed in these three languages. -Bir-

In number OF states laws have
been passed compelling the study Of
state history in the public schools.
Such law should not be necessary in
New Mexico. Every school board
should possess sufficient pride in the
territory to compel teachers to teach
the history Of the territory. There is
20 state that has a more romantic,
thrilling and interesting history than
New Mexico. If its history were bet
ter known, many people who now af-
feet to sneer at the territory and its
pretensions would become enthuiastic
and proud Uf being citizens. There
are a number of excellent publications
Oh territorial history, not the least OF
which are Ex-Governor L. b. Princes
historical sketches, and the history or
the territory written by Horatio o..
Ladd. Every school boy aud girl
should be acquainted with the tradi-
tions and history Of New Mexico, from
the earliest times to the present.
