MOTHER LOVE.

II might build palace fair
With every joy of soul and sense,
And set my heart as sentry there
To guard your happy innocence;
If l might plant hedge too strong
For creeping sorrows to writhe through
And find my whole life not too long
To give, to make your hedge for you.
If could teach the laden air
To bear no sounds that were not sweet,
Gould teach the earth that only fair,
Untrodden flowers deserve your feet,
Would | not tear the secret scroll
Where all your griefs lie closely curled,
And give your little hand control
Of all the joys of all the world.
But ah, l have no skill to raise
The palace, teach the hedge to grow;
The common airs blow through your days,
BY common paths your dear feet go;
And you must Irvine, of common flowers,
The wreath that happy women wear,
And BEAR in desolate darkened hours,
The common griefs that all men bear.
The pinions of my love fold,
Your little shoulders close about;
All {! could my love keep out the cold,
Or shut the creeping sorrows out
Rough paths will tire your darling feet,
Gray skies will weep your tears above.
While round your life, in torment beat,
The impotent wings Of mother love-

Laundress Beats Cloth with q Club

Flatirons form no part Of the outfit
Of Korean laundry. Ironing is done
by beating the cleansed cloth with

Upon certain days the narrow and
generally unkempt streets Of Japan's
new protectorate resound to the rhyth-
mical tapping of multitudes of girls
who are finishing the wash"-impart-
ing the polishing touches to the white
garments with which the Koreans
clothe themselves.
Taking a garment that has been dried
after the wash, the girls place 1t upon
stick Of wood and then, with other
sticks, pound every square inch of the
surface until the article has been given
a crisp freshness that the KOREANS like
as we'll as the finish given garments in
this country by the fiatiron.
This is only one of the queer GUS
toms that may be observed in Korea,
says the Philadelphia North American.
Sometimes work can scarcely be distin-
guished from play. Not infreQuently
the traveller sees gangs Of Korean COO
lies dumping earth to mend the high
way or performing some other labor.
AS they work man sings and beats
a drum, and the laborers keep time
to the music.
Some Of their amusements are as
novel. When they finish their tasks and
have time for recreation, the Korean
young men do not repair to vacant lots
with ball and bat or take part In ath-
letic contests. During the winter they
engage in stone battles, which are
flercely fought and in which many are
severely wounded. In the summer they
attach long straw-rope swings to the
limbs Of tall trees and spend hours
gayly swinging.
Often three or four may be seen en-
joylng the same swing, standing upon
one another's shoulders like acrobats In
circus.

A most curious and sluggish creature
is the tautawa, a small lizard, whose
home is In New Zealand. The little
animal has the reputation of being the
LATEST creature ever created. It is
usually found clinging to rocks or logs
along the shores of rivers and lakes
and has been known to remain In one
position perfectly motionless for many
months. How the creature manages
to exist is mystery which naturallsts
have been unable to solve.

PAY DAY AT THE PLANTS

Ensley, December 22-(Special)-T
Ensley public schools have closed for the
holidays to remain closed until Decem-
Der 81
All of the faculty with the exception of
Miss Patricia Stribling left for their re-
spective homes today to spend the holi-
days. Professor WaIKer and family are
in Meridian.
Professor Walker wishes it stated that
it is very important that every pupil
be present on the 31st inst, when the
schools reeonvene. The semi-annual pro-
motions come only three weeks after the
schools reconvene. and it is important
that the pupils should utilize that time in
making the necessary preparations. Also
the children desiring to enter school after
the holidays should report on the open
ing day in order that they may be prop
erly classified. The attendance this week
was very large and the children have
demonstrated by their acts and feelings
the approach of Yuletide.
A great many presents were made by
the children fof the Mercy Home AMI
the prisoners. The pupils manifested great
Golight and interest in making the pres
epts. On the 21th, 2Sth and 18th of the
month the Southern Educational associa-
ton meets in Montgomery. Almost the en-
tire corps of teachers of the Ensley
schools will attend the meeting.

Elks' Christmas Tree,

Great preparations are being made by
the Ensley Elks for the Christmas tree
that is to be given by them to the poor of
Ensey on Christmas day. The tree will
be planted in the lodge hall on Avenue
Il between Twentieth and Twenty-frst
streets Tuesday afternono and the festivi-
ties will begin promptly at $50 oeloct<.
Great baskets of fruits, nuts candies
presents, toys and many other things that
will send thrill of joy surging through
the hearts of the little boys and girls

It Is the hope of every Elk in Ensley
that every little boy and girl in the city
who is needy and deserving will come
to the tree and receive a present and
get some of the palatable eatables that
will be SO benevolently offered. This in
vitatlon Is also cordially extended TO
the older people who unfortunately are
not able to provide themselves for this
great occasion. A warm welcome and a
hearty handshake is assured all who at
tend the tree.

auirer, the New York Herald, the New

the Iron Age and Harper's Monthly. The
subscription on each of the above Is for

of the papers. The balance of them and
the magazines are expected in a few days.
From time to time Captain Baker has
contributed many costly books and books
of great literary value to the library, and
this donation of his is considered one of
the most useful and valuable that the
library has as yet received. The trustees
of the library have prepared a letter of
thanks to Captain Baker for the liberal
contribution. Captain Baker has from the
first manifested great interest In the pro-
gress and welfare of the library, and his
public spirit, philantrophY and co-opera-
ton in its work has greatly aided in
the success that has attended the institu-
ton.
