The post card is something that is
more blessed to send than to receive.
Post cards are now on sale at every
point in the known world. The shirt

of the inner recesses of Africa are
making betelnut selling post cards
which show their devotion to decol-

The unctuously oily Eskimo dis

The mail carriers are getting bent

making deliveries half day late be-

rural postman to read the cards.

It's odd to me that sails the sea
To think of all the lights
That glow an glare an flash an flare
Along the shore at niglA.
There's little lamps for ocean tramps
That stagger through the foam,
There's fires that shine below the line
They're all the lights O. home.
All round the sea on spit and Key
From old Bombay to Nome
Through all the nights there blaze the
lights
The welcome lights o. home.
wy, sometimes 1 may chance to spy
A light so dim an far
1t seems to rise when daylight dies
Just like it was a star,
But, from the shore hear the roar
Where broken pillows comb,
An then 1 know that far off glow
Is some ones light o. home.
They bound the sea from Barbary,
Set on some temples dome
Or in a door swung to the shore
The welcome lights o. home.
At night they stand on every land
Like lines made on a map,
An every light on every night
Is hailed by some poor chap
That piles on sail an rides the gale
An breathes the flynn foam
Until he twines his harbor lines
Close to the lights o. home.
All round the sea ablaze they be
Wherever sailors roam;
Through all the nights out blaze the
lights
The welcome lights o. home.

acts of violence and inhumanity which. 1t
is said. are committed in Russia, claim
ing such to be shocking to the civilized

try and those of Russia, and acknowl-
edges the service of the car in summon
ing The Hague peace conference.
Further. it is set forth that Congress
has received a petition signed by we'll
known American citizens in which, on
authority of official reports of the Rus
sian government. 1t Is claimed that men,
women and children-patently non-com-
batants"-are manned aud killed: tor
lures applied to prisoners in the prisons
and fortresses to obtain information. and
massacres are planned and carried out
by the police and military for the pur-
pose of terrorizing the population. 1t is
further set forth that large numbers of
widowed. orphaned and Impoverished
survivors of these massacres" have come
to this country, many without natural
supporters and in great restitution.
