early-came 900 strong from the north
at $40 and 600 strong from Denver at
10 o'clock. Many of them came in
family groups and with their lunch boxes
in hand. They went to the foot hills, or
rode the electric cars to the Chautauqua
grounds, or s','1 aimlessly upon the
streets or sat on the grass of the court

candy and looked measurably happy

built up no grand edif1ce, and collected
no large sums of money, yet we can
felicitate ourselves that our years
work has not been in vain. We have
at least cleared the ground and laid a
sure foundation upon which those who
come after us can safely build.
We have been encouraged by the
approval of our plan of organization

taught by the sands on the seashore.

Of sand,
We're the smallest things in all the
land.
Though great is our number-yet sad
is our lot
We are trodden upon-by the world

We are driven about by the winds at
play.
The scorn of the idle, the sport of the
gay;
But mountains are made of grains of
sand
So come. my sisters, each give me your
hand.
Well build a mountain and here we'll
stand.
Then dear sisters Of the Crittenton
Circle of Bismarck. celebrate this our
first annual meeting. and offer the i'm
perfect sheaves and scanty gleanings
from II first years harvest. Let us
not be discouraged,
For we'll we know. the gracious Lord
perceives
Not what we did but what we strove
to do;
And though the full ripe ears are sadly
few.
He, will accept our sheaves.

These heart-aches and these leaden-
winged years,
These sorrows speaking in these grief
wet eyes.

THE TRUTH THAT LIVES.

AAAA A4tO L liza LII AI0s
The jewOl fades, the purple pales,
The sceptre falls, the throne DER
turned,
The temple ~totters, the light fails,
Ash lies where hot the embers
burned,
The cheek we kissed is clay and cold,
And ~listless the life-lighted eye,
For only Truth lives and is old,
All else is false, all else must die.
Comes down from depths of the dim
past
To us the self-same story told,
TITS now, twas then, twill be at last,
When stars are dim and suns are
cold,
We live, love, linger, and decay,
The voice of ages heaves the cry:
Truth lives alone beyond the day,
All else is false, all else must die.
Truth, subtle messenger Of Time,
. That tells the soul imbreathed in
Man,
That springs from Hope and Faith
sublime,
That teaches Purpose, Plot and
Plan,
Whose winged whispers float in air,
That speaks in Earth and Sea and
Sky,
Of the Something that lives Some
where,
That lives and loves and will not die.

Thy bread upon the water cast,
Comes back again to thee at last,
The seeds thou sowest on the way
Bring wreaths of flowers another day,
The echo of some kindly word
To thy sad souls depths, sorrow
stirred
Yet shall return and ease thy pain,
What thou mayst send comes back
again.
And SO know that if some song,
l send upon its way along,
Some verse hot of my genius fired,
Hope-born, h%ope-laden, hope-inspired,
Some lines wherein my souls fires stir
l send out to the publisher,
And send a stamp-come shine, come
rain,
I know they will come back again.

REPORT OF CRITTENTON CIRCLE
WORK.

From the annual report of Mrs.
Linda w. Slaughter as corresponding
secretary of the Florence Crittenton
Circle of Bismarck: Scarcely one year
has elapsed since III organization
and in the retrospect it may appear
that we have accomplished little. But
the preliminary stages of the growth
of an organization like ours are SINH
lar to the progressive process in the
erection of a lofty building. First
the ground for the structure must be
broken, and all obstacles cleared away.
Then comes the laying of the founda-
ton, and the more time and skill that
is bestowed upon this part of the work
the stronger and more enduring will
be the edifice. Then begins the gath
ering of the material and the bringing
together of the workmen with their
Observation-Disclosures to the particu-
lar work which each one is fitted to
perform. Lastly, the work of con-
struction-much of this preparatory
work has been done by Il circle and
a beginning has been made in what
we trust will be a work for the bene-
fit of humanity that will outlast our
lives, and which will result at no dis
tant day in the establishment in our
beloved city Of Bismarck, under the
auspices Of our national mission, of a
Florence C%rittenton Home, which
shall be a city of refuge, and a home
indeed 10 many a poor, forlorn and
heart-broken outcast, and prove a
haven Of hope to our work and unfor-
tunate sisters.
We began as a small circle with the
supposed-to-be unlucky number of IL
members enrolled, but we nave gained
worthy recruits, who have enlisted for
active service under u snow white
banner Of Social Reform.

THE FATE OF A FLIRT!
So fair
Standing there
With the flowers in her hair,
So fair, and SO trinity attired!
So neat
From her feet
To her head, and so sweet,
And with hot admiration I'm fired.
Near the door
In the store
Stands she still adore
Such a form, such a carriage, such
grace!
She is swell,
And so we'll
Fits her gown l can tell
1t is tailor made. All, what a face!
Now if 1
Were to try
To catch her bright eye
I'd just like to know-would she firt.
She's my style,
I'll just smile
And I'll watch her the while,
Just one little smile-it won't hurt.
She's demure
But Pm sure
That she smiled back. I'll WOO her,
n just tip my hat with all grace.
All, my boy,
But she's coy
But I didn't annoy
Her, I know from the smile on her
face.
I'll just walk
Up and talk
With her-what a swell frock
She wears! What is this tag on her
skirt?
Horrid fate
To relate!
She's marked $6.4S!
D a ear sighted man who will

Now we start right again: Now

in the penitentiary! Ever get killed
to crime? Homicidal instinct strongly

co, snuff, rum or morphine? Got any

"You wretch, those questions are
not all down there!"
ooh, aren't they though" said the
bland young man. Don't you get
feverish now. Hang a monkey wrench
on your pulse and wait a minute.
Here's another question box: Are
you black, white or colored? Teeth
false or natural? Ever wear a wig?
Do you play the piano? Do you like
young onions? Are you single, mar
ried or neither? Got any corns, bun
ions, warts or freckles?"
"You get out or I'll call the dog"
she screamed.
You sig the dog on the United
States census department and you'll
regret it," said the bland young man.
Besides you haven't answered half
the questions yet. You've got to skip
the rope for half an hour yet. Do
you heat the house with steam, fur
mace or hot water? Does the sun
light ever freckle your lawn? Do
you toe in? Ever wear a glass eye?
What kind of garden sass do you like
best? Ever plant pumpkin seeds
wrong side up and have 'em grow
down into the ground? Are you an
expansionist, a pronibitionist or a
Bryanite? Did you contribute any
thing to the Dewey home fund? What
do you think of Helen Gould?"
What does the census department
want to know all those things for?''
she inquired aghast.
What does the census department
want to know all those things for
repeated the bland young man. "Why
to fill 10 volumes of statistics, of
course. The ems department is a
great thing, Ma'am, and when the
books come along in about eleven
years with a complete family history
OF all the people in the United States,
with photographs of the front yard

their palms and you will be on the
outside like the syrup on a hotel jug.
Good day, Ma'am, and when you find
you're not in the almanac with the
other signs of the zodiac don't you
knock the government" and the bland
young man strolled away to tackle the

WE HAVE STRUCK.

l ~ Liza
Dear Uncle Sam, l pray you now
Repeal the war stamp tax,
That we may breathe free men again
And vigilance relax,
For now each time we turn around
We're apt to get in Jail,
Unless we stick a stamp somewhere,
Lord help us If We fail!
Whene'er we draw a check we must
Lick stamps, the law SO saith,
Indeed we're called to lick one most
Each time we draw our breath,
1t isn't paying for the stamps,
That makes us fret and rage,
It's getting u ailmentaries
So full of mucilage
The nation for a hundred years
Has been democracy,
But grounded we'll are peoples fears
Of aristocracy,
For since the stamp tax came about
So much of glue we sup
We are no longer humble men
We're getting 80 stuck up.
We about with sombre face
And cheeks all pale and wan,
Just looking for some vacant place
10 SUCK d TAX stamp OIL,
Our fences lie in ruins quite,
Untrimmed and dull our lamps,
We haven't time to fix them, we're
So busy sticking stamps.
We've left off family prayers at home,
And now each blessed day,
We gather round the old hearth stone
And read through Schedule A
So many, many ways there are
To get in Jail you see,
IT'S by eternal vigilance
We keep our liberty.
Our arteries are clogged and full,
Our blood will not pass through,
We've licked SO many pesky stamps
It's all stuck up with glue.
The age Of stone, the age Of steel,
Are taught us by the sage,
But by the grace Of thy stamp tax
This is the mucilage.
With cold we cough, we wheeze, we
sneeze,
In seasons chill and damp,
But cannot buy cough syrup till
We cough up a tax stamp,
We may not stick a plaster on
Our backs, for so it's writ,
Unless before we stick it there
We stick a stamp on it.
We stick and stick and stick and stick
Until a stack we've stuck,
Our stock of sticks is running low,
And now, by gosh, we've struck.
And if WI may not have this plan
Of sticking stamps revamped,
Well fly into some distant land
Where we may die unstamped.

And me and all We're rainbow

And crowned all the sweep of years
With wreathed laurel, decked with

If dreams and fancies but came true.

There were no warnings deep, UNI

All o~dor-sweet, and laden, blew

With velvet leaves the paths to strew

Sin spotted now, all Time is vain
To cleanse and wipe away the stain.
Love comes the once and not again,
Word-wounded now, the heart is. vain
To heal the scar or dull the pain.
Pure hearts come once and not again,
Tears, signs, regrets, to cleanse are
vain
The soul that in the slime has lain.
All flawless jewels, lightly tossed
Aside, yet, ali, the bitter cost
OF tears, nee any jewel lost!
LOOK UP.
IT'S not by wishing that we gain the
prize,
Nor yet by ruling,
But from our fallings learning how to
rise,
And tireless doing.
The idols broken, not our tears or
signs
May yet restore them, r
Regret is only food for fools; the wise
Look but before them.
Nor ever yet success was wooed with
Years.,
To notes of gladness
Alone the tickle goddess turns her ears,
She hears not sadness.
The heart thrfves not in the dull rain
and mist
Of gloomy pining,
The sweetest flowers are the flowers
sun-kissed,
Where glad light shining.
Look not behind thee; there is only
dust,
And vain regretting,
The lost tide GIBBS; in the next flood
thou must
Learn, by forgetting.
For the lost chances be not yet dis
tressed
To endless weeping,
Be not the thrush that DER the empty
tneSt
Is vigil keeping.
But in new efforts our regrets today
To stiffness Willing,
Let lis in some pure purpose find the
way
To future smiling.
