them in symbols representing strength,
but not beauty. The Grecians received
ideas Of beauty from the study Of their
poets. and especially Homer. They OK.
pressed their ideais 10 beautiful forms.
Mrs. johnson traced the growth Of art
through the different periods Of time,
showing that always behind the picture
or statue the artist was seeking to ex-
press his ideal Of religion. The Ro-
mans had no religion, therefore they
had no art, excepting what they cap
tured or borrowed from others. After
the Christian era began, religious ideals
prevailed, but Of different character.
These Christians sought to express
upon canvas or by statue the figure of
Christ and his apostles and other saints.
Mythology was almost forgotten. Mrs.
johnson then asked Mrs. F. M. Hall
to talk on the great masterpieces OF
the Christian world. Mrs. Hall re-
sponded and illustrated her subject
with engravings. The art department
is growing In interest and the ladies
attending il are making careful study

Brothers..

How strange II seems!
Twas jest little while ago,
only day OF two,
That we were boys together,
and played as youngsters do.
As If It were but yesterday,
lean remember how
We Used to wade bare-leeged
when we went to get the COW.
And when the mud was soft and deep,
we'd load 1t on Our toes
And kick II at each other
for we didn't mind our elothesl
Wed race up through the pasture
with our pants above our knees
To find old Bess and Brindle,
switching flies beneath the trees,
And then we'd slowly follow them
down through the pasture gate,
And hope that father wouldn't ak
what made - stay 20 late
How strange II seems.
How strange II seems!
Twas lost little while ago,
only a day or two,
That we talked over privately
what we were going to do.
You wouldn't catch Us driving cows,
nor pulling tough old weeds.
Our boyish plans were far above
such ordinary deeds,
For Us thousand lands to zee
proud honors to be won,
When boyhood days were over,
and we were twenty-ons!
And Tom would say, ~ tell you what,
I'm going to 20 to sea,
I'll have big three master,
an the eap'n II be me.
Ib'ieve I'll sail to China first,
across the ragin' deep
An get load O. tea an silk,
an funny things to keep.
An then I'll make some money.
an I'll boy the folks a store,
So they en- jest look after that,
an not work any more!
An then I'll sail to Egypt,
an III follow up the Nile,
An then ! gees III anchor
an hunt elephants awhile.
An then I'll sail to Greece,
an Spain, an Italy, an Rome,
An when I've been around the world,
then maybe I'll come home"
!would listen, lost In wonder,
