There was nothing to do but to face
the issue, and the postmaster repeated
with forced calmness:
"Killed-Snyder, Hiram"

HEROES.

Mother Earth Are thy heroes dead2
DO they thrill the soul Of the world no more2
Are the cleaning SHOWS aud the peoples red
All that is left of the brave of yore2
Are there none TO fight Theseus fought,
Far In the young worlds misty dawn
Or teach as the gray haired Nestor taught?
Mother Earth! are thy heroes gone?
Gomez In a nobler form they rise;
Dead? We may clasp their hands in ours,
And catch the light of their glorious eyes,
And wreathe their brows with immortal flowers,
Whenever noble deed is done
There the souls of our heroes stirred;
Whenever a field for truth is won,
There heroes voices heard.
Their armor rings farer field
Than Greek Trojan trod;
For Freedoms sword Is the blade they WELD,
And the light above them the smile of Godl
So in his isle of calm delight,
Jason may dream the hours away,
But the heroes live, and the skies are bright,
And the world Is drawer world today.
