And he remarked to mother,
"He guessed he d better keep dog.
Then Wilson, he began to call,
But he was pretty good,
He always let me go along
To every place he could.
He used to like the songs we sung,
| seem to hear them still
"Away Down South in Dixie,
And The Sword of Bunker Hill. "
The winter passed, the springtime came
The bees would soon be humming,
But Wilson did not seem to mind,
But just kept coming, coming.
One day | went into the orchard,
Where the sweetest violets grew,
picked the best that could find
And punched them up for you.
l knew how we'll you loved them,
And then hurried down,
You were in the sitting-room,
Trying on your wedding gown.
| handed you the violets,
And then upstairs fled,
My heart so light an hour ago
Was heavy now as lead.
l did heap of thinking then,
And decided | would rather
There wasn't man in christendom,
Excepting just our father.
l recall the bright May morning,
When you became bride,
| stole out in the orchard,
Where the violets grew, and cried.
AL and Nell, our older sisters,
Each one had their beau,
But from out the old home nest
You were the first to go.
And now three-years lapse of time,
And people call me cranky,
When all on earth the matter is,
It's just because I'm aunty.
Wilson, he came over home
And said, "Sarepta thought that
maybe
You'd come and stay awhile with her,
To help take care of baby
Then | remembered how you said,
When you grew to be lady
You'd never bother other folks,
But take care of your own baby.
Well, was very glad to go,
AS you surely must have known,
For we were still but children
Only little older grown.
And when l asked the baby's name,
remember that you said,
You hadn' t quite decided,
But you thought you'd call him Fred.
Two other children came,
Your life to cheer and bless,
But God called little Susie home,
We doubt not it was best.
For God in his great wisdom
Never makes mistakes,
We must never cease to trust him,
Although the heart still aches.
Your boys have grown to manhood
Have families of their own,
And sometimes little grandson,
Visits his fathers home.
He hunts birds nests in the apple trees
And hens nests, too, | know,
Just as we did in childhood,
In the happy long ago.
But now my eyes are growing dim,
My hair is streaked with gray,
But my heart is just as young
AS on that day in May,
When you became bride,
And | stole out in the orchard,
Where the violets grew, and cried.
| wish you each all happiness
That kindness can bestow,
And l know wished you each the same
Five and forty years ago

-HE authorities Of tht Royal
Opera House in Berlin have
accepted for production u grand
opera in three acts entitled
..pnia 2 the libretto of which Is by
randolph Hartley. and the music by
arfhl1 NevIn. Both the composer and
4 ffihrettist are Americans; the opera is
X mon nm American Indian subject, and
tbe worI, lis the first American COM
4 ,1,,stion OF its kind that has ever been
i ppecepted bysa court thcater in Europe.
The story of the opern concerns a
z legendary character named Poia, who
n ord er to win the love Of girl OF
Ills tribe, made hazardous journey
n the home of the Sun God, and, be-;
cause of his bravery ana devotion.
Was chosen by the gods to be their.
prophet upon earth. The legend upon
which the libretto is founded is really
Tho Christ story of the Indians OF the
northwest 1t differs from similar le-
Inc fact that human love is the in-
sriraton that leads the hero To
spiritual perfection The action takes
Mace ut n period long before the ar
rival Of white men in America, and
Inc characters are all Indians and
personages Sof Indian mythology. Mr..
Hartley has, is said, followed as
Z closely as was Liz iuTdIIldliGa

witch were gathered ana translated

3erican ethnologist who has made u
specially of Indian folk-lore. Mr..
Nevn's score is based upon original
Indian themes which he himselfAob-
tanned at first hand from the Indians
Of the Northwest. The work, as an
opera, is, however, constructed upon
tbc accepted lines of modern music

HOW'D YOU LIKE TO BE
THE TELEPHONE GIRL?

The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to the voices from
everywhere. She hears all the go.-
sip, she hears all the news; she knows
who is happy and who has the blues;
she knows all our sorrows and all
of our joys; she knows all the girls
who are chasing the boys; she knows
of our strife, she knows every time
we are out with the boys, she hears
the excuse each fellow employs; she
knows every woman who has a dark
past, she knows every man who's in
clfned to be fast; in fact, there's a
secret meath each saucy curl of the
quiet, demure telephone girl.
If the telephone girl would tell all she
knows, it would turn half our friends
into bitterest foes. She could SOW a
small wind that would turn to gale,
engulf us in trouble and land us in
Jail; she could Jet go. a story (Which
gaining in force, would cause half our
wives to sue for divorce); she could
get all the churches mixed up in big
fights and turn all our days into
Borrowing nights. in fact, she could
keep the whole town in a stew If she
told the tenth of the things that she
knew. Now, doesn't it make your
aching head whirl when you think
of the trials of the telephone girl?
