"Ah, Love, know thee, for thy face
Is otherworldly fair;
The great light of heavenly place
Is on thy shining hair.
But Love, thou who canst tread the star
Whose seat is by Gods throne,
Why wilt thou bend thee to the dust
And walk the dark alone?
"Why wilt thou follow wandering lights
Who hast the stars for guide
And make thy footing through the dark
Whose place is by Gods side?
Thy ways are not our mortal ways
Hast thou naught else to do
Than wander with thy shining face
My glimmering darkness through?
The golden pave of heavens ways
Beseems thy footing well;
But with the dead can thy feet tread
The bowling halls of hell?
God fashioned thee so beautiful
To JOY men who have breath

I0 Love came and stood and beat at the gates

The warder strobe into his tower
And saw Love standing there
Weary, like storm-tossed flower,

And, looming black against the stars,
The warder shook his spear

And fly away in fear.
Here is no lodging for night,

some unusual way of announcing her
engagement. SO after much careful
thought this was evolved: The 20 spe-
cial friends were asked for thimble
party. and there was nothing doing
until refreshments were served. Then
each guest found u little envelope on
the plate and the hostess explained
that inside there would be found Il
1umbled lot OF letters. that the letters
of each color would spell one word.
and there was Just one word in each
envelope and all were the same color
in each envelope. 80 each one made
their word. and the light gradually
dawned rs the story was told by the
guests putting their words together.
II was great fun and ended the after

New alfalfa Is considered best for
seed production. as an old stand has
TOO great root development. Undue.

ducive to seed production. Two and
three-year-old stands give best results,
Such may be obtained from either the
hfst or second cutting, but the latter
gives more uniform ripening. The

hioom to give the greatest yield. More
and better seed is usually to be had
