four consecutive evenings last week

tie girls OF the sabbath school deserve
credit for their industry and peTse-
Verance IN Sunday school wsrk. The
principal feature Of the entertainment
was the address delivered by Hon.

one Of the prosperous and highly re-

and chief OF public buildings in the

his subject, Race Afiliatfon" and dis

part: "Despite our lacking traits We are

SOME CALIFORNIA POETRY.

II He HERALD BEGS TO ACKNOWLEDGE the
receipt of an esteemed volume of poetry" from
California. 1t is entitled Turquoise and Iron"
The author is Lionel Josaphare, and A. NJ. Robertson
of San Francisco is the publisher Like the tramp IN
the soap advertisement rise bear testimony that
anyone who reads one Of Mr.. Josaphare's 'pomes VIII
read no others, that Is, none written by 10.
The book starts out with stirring tribute to 1.-THE
Winged Heart" 1t begins:
Hail thou, my far-fying heart,
That with rapid wings apart,
Upward, without care.
Beatest the last possible desires cGeverlasting air..
Could anything be loveer In fancy can see
that heart fitting through the atmosphere singing
merry lay. From above the clouds comes the sweet
music Of Its warOngs while the gent from whose fond
bosom it has fitted goes heartless through his daily
grind But the pote isn't satisfied to let that heart
Of his continue its wanderngs. Fearful perhaps that 1t
may be corralled and branded by sprite of the
upper regions, he lets yell:
Hail. thou wildly winging heart,
Wheresoeyer, midst the stars or wet by falling
Clouds thou art.
Downward to my vacant breast,
Come and know me for thy nest
Folded be thy wings and dreams, and long be thy
unruffed rest"
It certainly looks as if any old heart would like
rest after soaring stunt And it isn't natural for
man to go around with a vacant breast either. Now,
if it was vacant stomach that troubled him, it would
be easy for the hoi poloi to understand Something
must be wrong with who lets his heart get away
from him in such fashion, anyway.
Why didn't 10 look after his old heart? Had he
kept it impoundcd within his chest would have saved
everybody lot of trouble. The 'pOme" runs through
twenty one good long verses A careful reading fails
to enlghten US as to what happened TO joe In the
last verse he is still standing around waiting for his
heart to come home. He really doesn't deserve to have
d heart.
If ever he does get it back we advise him to hitch
weight it. such they to hold delivery horses
in cities That ought to hold any heart earth
if it had a gasoline and screw propeller in adj
dition to rapid wings"
