the Quaker. LET us get beyond this quag-

So saying, he took me by the flap of my
coat, and I, placing my hands on Stryker's
shoulders behind, we three moved off into
the bog in an opposite direction from that

THE PARSONS DAUGHTER.

Little foot whose lightest pat
Seems to glorify the mat.
Waving hair and picture hat.
Grace the nymphs have taught her;
Gown the pink of fit and style.
Lips that ravish when they smile
Like vision, down the aisle
Comes the parsons daughter.
AS she passes, like a dart.
To each luckless fellows heart
Leaps throbbing thrill and smart.
When his eye has sought her;
Tries he then his sight TO bless
With one glimpse of face or tress.
Does she know it?-welI, l guess!
Pretty parsons daughter.
Leans she now upon her glove
Cheeks whose dimples tempt TO love,
And, with sanity look above.
Hears her pa" exhort her:
But. within those upturned eyes.
Fair as sunny summer skies.
Just a hint of mischief lies
Roguish parsons daughter.
From their azure depths askance.
When the hymn-book gave the chance.
Did get one laughing glance?
/ was sure 1 caught her;
Are her thoughts so far amiss
AS to stray. like mine, to bliss?
For. last night. stole kiss
From the parsons daughter.

Girl Weaver. ON Strike

Trenton, n. J., April -Sixty-five
girl weavers employed in K. Wilson's
wooden mill are on a strike as a pro-
test against the foreman, E. P. Cling
yill. The latter discharged one of the
girls because, as he said, the cloth She
weaved was too light. On exanEna-
ton it was found to be heavier than
the rules required and the girl was re-
instated. All the weavers then in
formed Mr.. Wilson that unless he dis
charged the foreman they would not
return to work and the strike is still
On. GingyilI comes from Providence

An Editorial In the Interior.

Chicago, April 1.-THE Interior, the
Presbyterian organ, will contain a
strong eitorial Monday advocating the
setting aside of the confession of
faith and the adoption of a short
evangelical creed. DIR. Gray, the ed
itor, who has defended DR.. Hills. re-
peats what he said when DIR. Hills
was first attacked-that three-fourths
of the ministers and nine-tenths of the
members of the Presbyterian church
reject the clause in the confession
which Hills attacked and for which
he was denounced by certain theola-
gians and religious newspapers. DR..
Gray has no doubt that the church
will take an early opportunity to
vote on a new creed and that it will
be carried by a large majority.

Though the blow was serviceable to me,
such an act of war on the part of Quaker

In February, 1914, the French army
