Syrians of Mount Lebanon
Make Home in West St. Paul

Who has not been interested IN the
little women who go about peddline
stocks of gaudy trinketS and notions?
Who has not felt sympathy for them
even while being bored by their te-
dious array of miscellaneous goods?
Who has not invested in a trifle to
please a pretty broWn-faced girl? Who
has not felt a pang of regret when,
after peremptorily ordering such a
creature from the premises, one sees
her shoulder her heavy box and trudge
diSmally away?
These little women who gather a
pittance by vending Snowy and insub-
stantial articles have a peculiar place
in the world of commerce, picking up
few cents here and a few cents there
by selling a bunch of pins, a pair of
carriers, a glazing red bandanna,
string of beads, a pair of arm rings
or pair of suspenders, a little red
celluloid button rose, or a yard or so
of flimsy lace.
The women who engage in this trade
are Syrians. and are often designated
as "Gypsies." In almost every city of
the United States there is a colony of
Syrians, and st. Paul is not without
its share of these people. Within the
past few decades thousands Of the Syr-
ian people, unable to endure the op-
preston Of the Turks, have sought
homes in this land of freedom and
have scattred over the length and
breadth of the country.
In each city however, they maintain
their individuality and hold together
in colonies. In the thickly settled cit
les of New York and Chicago, the
Syrians band together and live in
huge tenement houses, one member Of
the colony, or the colony in common
often owning the buildings. The Syr-
ians, though not much given to the ac-
f
and generally industrious and honest
They, therefore, are among the most
desirable of the foreign elements that
maintain strict individuality.

Several hundred Syrians are mum.
bered in the population Of st. Paul.
They dwell in several tenement houses
and cottages of the West side. These
Syrians colonies are Of interest when
carefully observed. Not often is a
stranger admitted among them. and
rarely do they disclose to the world
their inner life. The world is rigid to
these people from the far Western
Orient, and the relations between them
and the people of the other races that
constitute the American public are not
naturally congenial. But among them
selves and to those that gain their con-
ndence they are open-hearted, gener-

on the West side are from a SPOT in

IN PRAISE OF TOBACCO.

OF all the good things man has found
Scattered upon this planet round,
Tobacco surely holds its ground
A weed delicious:
No other green leaf yields so much
Delight; no flower has fragrance such;
No plant it's virtue with a touch
OF something vicious.
A pipeful after breakfast when
l read the morning paper; then.
AT luncheon one small Whit again
A tube of tissue:
And. after dinner, cigar,
An easy chair beside the jar
Wherein the good Havanas are,
Too close to miss you.
Life is at best journey brief,
And Time pursueS US like a thief,
But II one cultivate the Leaf
There is no hurry
A friend, it cheers one on the way.
And helps to lengthen out the day,
And keeps the hair from turning gray
With care and worry.
Virginia, Turkish, or Periuue-
A puff Of incense and a streak
OF smoke that almost seems to speak
In sweet aroma,
And may the good Tobacco last
So long as we to life hold fast,
Till Death, the old iconoclast,
Brings its diploma,

THE HEART OF THE HILLS.

There's n wonderful country. lying
Far off from the noisy town.
Where the wind-iower swings
And the Veering signs,
And the tumbling brooks come down.
lis land Of light and Of laughter,
Where peace all the woodland fills;
IT'S the land that lies
Meath the summer skies
In the heart of the happy hills.
The road to that wonderful country
Leads out from the gates Of care;
And the tired feet
In the dusty street
Are longing to enter there;
And voice from that land is calling,
In the hush of a thousand rills-
Come away. away
To the woods today.
To tho heart OF the happy hills"
Far away in that wonderful country,
Where the skies are always blue,
In the shadows cool.
By the foaming pool
We may put on strength anew:
We may drink from the magic fountaina
Where the wine of life distills;
And never a care
Shall find US there,
In the heart OF the happy hills.
