In Freya's Garden,

In Freya's fragrant garden
The souls of babes unborn,
That Time has dared not harden
BY Life's chill. glimmering morn
Slumber and laugh and play.
There, amid cool. long grasses.
BY sounds Of rushing streams.
For them the summer passes.
From dreams to happy dreams,
Nor changes any day
Strange. snowy blossoms falling
Crown every golden head,
There is no sad recalling
OF joyous days long dead.
For there no Past is known;
No hours by them are numbered
No Future makes them fear.
No sin that long has slumbered
Cries out until they hear.
And claims them for its own.
Freya. mild-eyed and queenly.
Passes from each to each.
Greeting each soul serenely.

For each child understands.
And as by each she fingers
They gaze in her fair face.
And their soft baby fingers
Are drawn by her calm grace
To clasp her mother hands.

And without sign or warming
Toward some soul must fly
And light on lips or brow;
Out from the green recesscs

Leave Freya's warm caresscs
For the rough walks OF men

custom of ringing the curfew nightly.
At Antrim. as at a great many other
towns in Ulster, the curfew was in
former generations rung regularly:
but the practice. like that associated
with the maypole, has gradually died
out until now the places where it still
fingers are few and far between. The
action of the commissioners is based
on purely sentimental grounds. They
have simply revived an old custom be-
cause the people like to hear the bell

sum of money TO pay all expenses has
been handed over to the vestry of the

The West Virginia building at

State building, In that the object OF
the Commission was to provide a
structure admirably adapted for

for West Vireinians visiting the
fair, Both In Its interior and ex-

sought to be carried out. All OF
the rLoms will be provided with
chairs and lounges where the Wis
ltors can rest after the fatigue OF
seeing the fair And then there are
the porches! they will prove one
of the most delightful features o.
the buildtng-in floor space they
have a greater area than any
church In West Virginia, and they
are plentifully supplied with set
tees and chairs. The building will
also boast OF information bureau,
baggage and cloak rooms, telegraph

All In all 1t can be said that the
West Virginia building will be all
that can be desired from ev'ry
point of view, and every West Vr-
