rributs to klna Edward vIl.

The following tribute to King Ed
ward VII. of Great Britain, entitled
"The Truce OF God" was written by
Alfred Austin, the poet laureate:
What darkness deep as wintry gloom
o'ershadows joyous spring!
In vain the vernal orchards bloom; vainIy
the woodlands sing.
Round royal shroud
A mournful crowd
Is all now left of one but yesterday a
king.
Thrones have there been of hateful fame,
reared upon wanton war.
He we have lost still linked his name
with peace at home, afar.
For peace he wrought,
His constant thought
Being how to shield his realm against
strifes baleful star.
So let US now all seek to wrest from fate
full feuds release
And, mindful Of his wise behest, from
factions clamors cease,
Treading the path he trod,
The sacred truce of God.
Ehe path that points and leads to patrf-
otic peace.

MAY DE sousA,s HuNcH.

May de Sousa, recently seen as the
prima donna in "A Skylark,'' and who
created the prima donna roles in Lon
don in Girls of Gutenberg" "Hava-
ma" and "a Waltz Dream" has de-
serted the previous fields of her en-
deavor for the legitimate stage. Miss
de Sousa made her first appearance
as an actress in a dramatic production
as Hetty Brice, the leading female
part in James Forbes new comedy,
The Commuters at Nixon's Apollo
theatre, Atlantic City, last Thursday.
She will be seen in New York with
The Commuters" when it will open
the season at the Criterion theatre on
Aug. Is. Miss de Sousa ascribes as
her reasons for making this radical
change that there exists no longer
the same conditions that once made
prima donnas the principal feature of
comic operas; that today in musical
shows everything is given way TO gi-
gantic productions, huge armies of
chorus and show girls, surrounding
vaudeville acts. Besides the music
that made the comic operas Of the
past endure, appeals no longer to the
public taste. To the prima donna who
has ability as an actress, there are
more opportunities for success in the
legitimate. and for that reason Miss
de Sousa has taken this step.

Messrs. Shubert sent on the original
New York cast, with both Mabel Bar

roles. The spright Miss Barrison has
the best role Of her career as Lulu
Rogers. a young actress with a pas
sion for sensational publicity; while
Conor has a better character than has
fallen to his lot since the palmy days
of "a Trip to Chinatown" as the
jealousy-mad Doctor Morrison. Two
songs were introduced by Miss Barri-
son and the audience kept her singing
encores to both numbers until she was
forced to beg off in pantomime. The

Fargo made illustrations for books and
magazines. He then devoted himself
to mural painting, mostly of religious
or ecclesiastical character.
Technically Mr.. La Farge's greatest
specific contribution has been, no
doubt, the extension of the possibili-
ties of what is called stained glass"
and the discovery of new ways of turn
ing 1t to artistic uses.
For the making of stained glass win
dows he invented the new methods
known in Europe as American"
changing and reforming the entire
art of the glass stainer from the max
ing of the new glass by new methods
to the painting of the same.
Much of this work is in churches
and residences in Boston, New York,
Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia and
elsewhere.
Mr.. La Fargo has written several
works on art and has delivered many
lectures.

These are erect, bushy, quick grow
ing herbs. There are 10 species, most
ly natives of South America, the com
monest of which is known as Jalapa.
Another name for this flower is Marvel
of Peru
While naturally perennials, they are
grown as tender annuals, Towering
late in the summer and fall. Any soil
Of reasonable fertility will grow them,
and they thrive even in poor situa-
tions. After once established, they
will continue to bloom until frost
without attention.
Seeds may be sown in the spring
indoors or out, good results being OBJ
tanned by sowing directly in their per-
manent place. The plants should be
one foot apart each way.
The flower has no corolla, but the
calyx is colored and tubular shaped
so the casual observer may mistake
it. for a true corolla. All shades of
red and yellow and also white flowers
may be obtained in the common varie-
ties and one or two have variegated
foliage. They open late in the after
noon and remain open until morning.
These plants will be found useful as a
background for a flower bed or along
a fence, or large mass will present
a good appearance. The foliage is
smooth and glossy.
These plants often come up year
after year from self-sown seeds and
some times they produce tuberous
roots which NAV he dug up and
stored like those of the dahlia.

LA FARCE, THE ARTIST.

Career of Veteran Revolutionizer OF
Art of Stained Glass.
John La Fargo, the well known art
ist who revolutionized the art of STAIN
ed glass, was born in New York city
on March 81, 1885. He studied archl-
tectural decoration and then took up
the study of painting with Couture in
Paris and with William NJ. Hunt. He
began painting with religious subjects
and decorative work. He painted flow
ers, a few portraits and many land
scapes. For a short time Mr.. La
