The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-22

One day friendship died:
No wrong was done;
1t simply ceased to be
Beneath the sun.
Two bent above the grave,
With idle tears,
And slowly went apart
In doubt and fears.
One day a friendship new
To one was born;
That ancient grief became
thing outworn.
Say what we will, the child
Upon the breast
Consoles us for the one
In dreamless rest
-Qda Ahlborn Weeks, in The Century.

II Is thought that an American Ger
manic Museum will be an object Of
interest to three classes OF people. In
the first place, IT is believed that Amer
lean citizens Of German, scandinavian
or Dutch descent will be glad to assist
IN raising a memorial in America tC
the culture Of the lands OF thlir ances-
tors. In the second place, 1t is be-
lieved that, regardless Of descent
Americans, whose Intellectual life has
been so largely Influenced by German
ideals of scholarship, education ant
philosophy. will contribute to such az
Undertaking in acknowledgment o.
their indebtedness to German thought
Finally. II is expected with conf1denc'
that Gernans and their kindred IL
Europe will assist the proposed mu
scum. either officially OF personally
with the hope Of erecting on American
soil an institution that shall stand as |
monument to the work of the Ger
manic race.
