Trees.

"Woodman, spare that tree"
We sang it long ago;
But just the same the woodman
came
And laid the giants low.
We turned them into tables,
We chopped them into pegs,
And things unique in styles antique,
With queer, unsteady legs.
We swept them from the hillside
And from the mountain stream,
And lest the ak our arms might tax
We sawed them up by steam;
And even art got busy
With geometric marks;
To ease the nerves that shrank from
curves
They cleared them from the parks.
Across sterile plaza
The winter wind blows free;
On summer days the suns hot rays
Beat fierce as fierce can be;
All. Spare that tree"-the echo
Falls on the desert air.
But such is fate. IT'S all too late,
There are no trees to spare.

The Fall of the Oak.

With front majestic DER his fellows
lifted,
Three hundred years he watched
the dawn come in,
Turn its long lances on the night
mists drifted,
And slope by slope the world to
daylight win.
The gaunt gray figure at his vitals
striking
Seems but an infant to the ancient
tree
Whose youth looked down on grand
sons of the Viking
And rough newcomers from an I'M
known sea.
He saw Winonah's wigwams careless
cluster
Where now the cornshocks camp in
ordered files,
And heard low thunders OF the bison's
muster
Where clouds OF sheep now feck
the fertile miles.
Much. much has passed him down the
ages ranging,
Old names OF men, old towns and
states and wars
The fields. the ways. the very earth
went changing
lie only stood -he and the stead
fast stars
And now, alas! low, low behind him
wheeling,
Sinks the red sun he shall not see
go down,
And his own crest, in strongest ruin
reeing,
Drops not the slower for its long
renown.
The woods look on in silent grief at
tending.
The winds no mourning make
around his stern
Too weak their waiting for giants
ending
The oaks own downfall is his
requiem.
And now BEGINS: his great heart
strings are breaking;
His branches tremble; now his
mighty head;
He stoops. and then the hillside
round him shaking,
With whirlwind roar falls crashing
prone and dead.
And watched afar by many frown
ing column
The woodman homeward moves
while shadows run,

LIQUOR INTERESTS ORGANIZE

The Liberty League, organized and

the completion of the organization of

Its membership in Illinois is said to in
clude POO, OO0 men. The headquarters
are in Chicago.
