All. it was ever SO long a

All, it was ever so long ago
Come to me- little one, come to me here
And I'll tell of land that l used to
know
The beautiful land of far away year.
There the birds sang sweeter than now
they sing,
And the skies were bluer, a marvellous
blue,
And the days were vassals, my joys to
bring,
And each of them brought RAPTURE
new,
And the hours were bright as your ewes
but O,
1t was ever and ever SO long ago!
There in the land that 1 knew so we'll
Listen. my little one, for it is true
Was a shady nook in blossoming dell
That only myself and the fairies knew
There l have heard their laughter shrill
Or have caught the CLEAN of a vanish
ing hand,
And they were my servants to do my
will,
And the wee folk needed my wish, l
Ever and ever SO long ago.
You have heard of Jack who the giants
slew
Closer, my little one, closer to me
Well, he was friend of my own, I knew,
In that far away land where the elfins
be.
And often ! shuddered to hear him review
How he killed the ogre that night so
drear
And 1 vowed that / also would kill a
All me! l haven't slain many, 1 fear
But still did the giants stalk to and fro,
Ever and ever so long ago.
1 am weary to-day for that far away
land
Heed it, my little one. for you shall
know
And your heart. growing older, shall yet
understand
How we sigh for the glory of long, long
ago,
For skies that were biuer than skies of
to-day.
For birds that sang sweeter than birds
that we hear,
For the blossoming dells where the fairy
folk stray
And all we recall with the ghost of a
tear.
You wander there yet. but for me. we'll 1
know
1t was ever and ever SO long ago.

are over five thousand policy holders
of the Equitable Life Assurance Soci-
ETY. in South Carolina. A call has
been issued for a general meeting of
all interested policy holders at Col

To the policy holders of the Euqit-
able Life Assurance Society of the
United States in South Carolina:
A number of influential policy hol-
ders of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society of New York City have decid-
ed that State association of the pol
icy holders should be organized for
the purpose of mutual protection and
of securing proper representation for
the body of the policy holders in
South Carolina which represents
many millions ofdollars in insurance.
The approaching naturalization of
the company emphasizes the advis-
ability of such action to say nothing
of the recent and still existing inter-
nal dissenson.
The object of such society
will be entirely for self-protection, to

to the policy holders who become
members, and absolutely opposed to

For this reason, all policy holders are
requested to communicate with the

would be agreeable for them either in
person or by proxy to be represented
at a meeting Of policy holders to be
held at the office of Edwin w. Rob-
