west to premises at the northwest corner
of North Capitol and Randolph Streets

Walter c. Allen, the Electrical Engin-

states that the cable pole at the corner

that the permit will not authorize the

The pure, the sweet. the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
Tho impulses Of wordless prayer.
The dreams Of love and truth;
Tbs longings after something lost.
The spirits yearn!ng cry,
The stirring after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother IN his need.
A kindly word IN griers dark hour
That proves a friead indeed:
The plea for mercy softly brsathed.
When Justice threatens nigh.
Tho sorrow Of "a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory OF a c~lasping hand.
The pressure of "a kiss.
And ell the trlies. sweet and frail,
That make up loves first bliss;

And holy trust and high.
Those hands have cIasped, those lips have

These things shall never die.

That wounded AZ It fell;
The chilling want Of sympathy
We feel, but never tell:
TIT hard repuise that chills the heart.
Whose hopes were bounding high.
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass. for every hand
Must find some work to DO;
Lose not a chance 20 wsken love
Be firm and Just and true.
So shall that light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say TO thee

So sweet love seemed that April morn.
When arst we kissed beside the thorn,
30 strangely sweet. It was not strange
We thought that love could never change
But I can tell-let truth be told
That love will change in growing old;
Though DAY by day is naught TO see,
30 delicate his motions be.
And in the end twill come TO pass
Quite to forget what once he was,
Nor even in fancy TO recall
The pleasure that was all in all.
His little spring, that sweet we found.
So deep in summer foods Is drowned,
i wonder. bathed in joy complete.
How love co young could be so sweet.

The hungry, white wolves of the Seal
with never a rest. they race TO the West.
To the Orient's rim DO they run:
BY the berg and the foe of the northIand
they go
And away to the isles OF the sun.
They wall at the moon from the desolate
Till the air has grown dark with their
breath:
They snarl at the stars from the treacher-

OF the coasts that are haunted by Death.
They grapple and bite in a keen, mad de-

As they feed on the bosom OF Grief;
And one steals away TO a cave with his

And one to the rocks Of the reef.
With the froth on their lips they follow the

Each striving TO lead In the chase:
Since ioosed by the bend OF the King Of

They have known but the rush of the race
They are shaggy and old. yet as mighty
