SCHOOLHOUSE FOR CLUBS

there is school in this broad land where boys

By Graves of Heroes

An hour, flower, a memory. perchance
a tear or two.
These give we from our life to them:
Nation. what gave they you?
What of the silent partings, too solemn
and sad for tears?
What of the homesick signing which
only the night wind hears?
What Of the waking picket. guarding the
nations sleep?
What of the cold and the hunger?-what
of the thirst and heat?
What Of the Shrek of the battle? What
of the after-hours?
Oh, men! in the name Of God, can ye
heal such wounds with flowers?
Look to your lilies, Columbia! Stainless
they should be as snow,'
To rest on hearts burned white in battles
furnace glow;
And your roses. red as the blood that
flowed on fields of death,
Their fragrance full sweet to stife the
smell of battles breath!
Alas! if our flowers were all that we laid
on each nameless grave
Alas! for us and for them and the sac
ritice they gave.
But over those lowly hillocks, as over the
hills of God,
glory breaks from the hower-cups
whitening on the sod,
For they are the pledge of the promise
What you gave to us we will keep"

her sons who are asleep.

DnoersoII's Great Tribute

These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty. They died for US. They
are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the flag they
rendered stainless, under the solemn
pines, the sad hemlocks, the fearful
willows, and the embracing vines.
They sleep beneath the shadows Of
the clouds, careless alike of sunshine
or OF storm, each in the windowless
palace of Rest.
In the midst of battle, in the roar
OF conflict, they found the serenity Of
death. I have one sentiment for SOL
d1ers living and dead. Cheers for the
living; tears for the dead.-Robert @.

NO KISSING IN CHURCH,
GaIician Peasants Punished for Tn.
timely Oscillation.

Twenty Ruthenian peasants belong
hg to Ispas, in Galicia, have been SEN
fenced to various terms Of imprison-
ment, from a week to a month, for
kissing each other in church.
A feud has arisen between two par
ties in the town, and the priest
preached a sermon in which he urged
the peasants to make friends before
they came to church again. They
took him at his word, and on the fol-
lowing Sunday the two hostile parties
marched up the church side by side,
and kissed the altar. Then they SOL
emnly shook hands and kissed one an
other on both cheeks in the Polish
fashion to seal the reconciliation
The kissing scene excited loud
laughter among the members of the
congregation, and the priest prosecut-
ed the peasants for unseemly conduct
In church. The court held that a
church is no place for kissing and
found the peasants guilty.

Walter Howard, the London drama

theater one evening when an anemic-

Are you Mr.. Howard?" The author
replied in. the affirmative, whereupon
the young fellow said he wanted to go
on the stage. Noticing his evident
unfitness for such life, Howard ad-
vised him to stick to his present oc-
cupation, whatever it was. Il am as

what do your people think of your
going on the stage?" asked Howard.
