From Dr.. ISid0re singers "RuSsd Before the Ba'

From the Kishlnefi crater In volcanic Russia.
4 blast OF hell .hrc leaped TO the earth,
That scorChed the land OF the Car,
And RACED the Image OF God from the face or the
Slav.
And unveiled the Tartar savage of yore.
4 brother to the beast.
But out bruting the beast that hides in the jungles
Tn, man beast crouched on the highway OF life
And plunged his ronlike claws In the heart OF his
victim,
And laid him bleeding in the glare OF the mid
day sun.
And out wiling the savage herds that thronged
the forests
That knew not God. nor needed creed OF law,
The Tartar savage drank the blood o. his kin
And ate the heart OF his fellow. and then.
With hands upllfted heavenward called on CHRIST.
And down from the cross the meek hearted jew
Who offered his life on the altar ofloNe.
Looked with Infinite agony upon the crowd
That Worshlpped His name, but dened HIS WORD;
The sorrows OF centuries sat on His brow
The torture of ages furrOwed His face.
And from his heart the blood, so long congrAed,
Began TO ooze once more. and drop BY drop
II fell In the seq OF Israel's blood.
Until its waves began TO swell,
And mighty billOws rose,
And the earth was flooded with blood.
But out OF the depth. behold.
The bleeding ever wandering Jew.
Christ like on flaming cross appeared.
Der His head halo OF suffering.
on His brow a crown OF torture hung.
And deep from His heart the cry
That once the death OF Heathcndom sounded.
Now In deep SOnorous solemn foreboding.
Through the world OF Christ resounded.

There's n green that starts the pulses beating

It's the green Of grass and shrub in Aprls sun.
Spotted red and spotted white.
Tinted for the hearts delight.
How II sets the blood of youth upon the rum
There's green that keeps the winter spirit bright
green a sign OF life through covert snow
It's the glcAm OF spruce or pine
Winter woodlands tonic wine.
Infusng hearts with comforts CHEEKY glow.
There's a green. o comradc mine. that's never

green that's never. never known TO fade
It's the green OF verdant hearts.

A WOMAN WHO EXASPERArEs
One Summer DOarder Tells Another or q
Falling OF Her Sex.

This sort of woman must be exasperating,
even if 1t is not good form to talk about her
In public. The woman who was talking
about her as she sat with her back to the
ocean busily embroidering a centrepiece
was evidently so exasperated that she
didn't care If she was speaking in tone
that the whole piazza could hear her.
Shed make tho most patient woman
tired" the woman with the embroidery
said, 1and the thing that angers me most
Is her evident belief that everybody Is
impressed by what she says
Yesterday she was trying TO tell me
about hairdresser that came to call on
her, looking for work. She began by say
ing that the man came to the door and gave
his card to one OF the men, who took IL
upstairs to one Of the women servants,
who handed it to her maid, who brought
it to her just as she had rung for her sdut
