THE BALLADE OF THE ROSE.

Deep into my hearts neglected gard
den,
Over the ruin of suns and SHOWS,
With never a prayer for leave or par
don
Now, all my garden with beauty
glows,
And the grass lifts up to the kiss of
the sun;
A fragrance sweetens each breeze
that blows,
For love and Joy and the Rose are
one.
The SHOWS of winter are all forgotten,
Now that the Rose has ushered the
spring;
Where the leaves of the past lay dead
and rotten
The vines soft tendrills cluster and
cling;
All the voices of morning sing
The rapturous promise of bliss be-
gun
The Roses kisses. the joy they bring,
For love and Joy and the Rose are
one.
Life, they say, is a JEST know it;
Tears and laughter leashed in a
tether;
All of our lives more plainly show it,
Spun in the eddy of fate like
feather.
Little I'd care for season or weather,
Frosts of winter or May-time sun,
Were the Rose and my heart at rest
together,
For love and Joy and the Rose are
one.
Time gnaws on like rat that's hid
den;
Old age stealthily creeps apace;
Soon each one of us shall be hidden
Back to the kind earth's last en-
brace.
Weary and spent with life's hard
race,
| shall thank the gods when the
strife is done
For Loves warm lips, and the Roses
grace,
For love and Joy and the Rose are
one.

COSTLY WRECK
OF TWO TRAINS
Freights Collide on Louisville
and Nashville at Kelly,
Monday.

A costly wreck occurred on the
Louisville and Nashville, a few miles
north of here, late Monday after
noon, when southbound freight No
81 headed into q switch engine. Both
engines were reduced to scrap iron
and the switch engine was landed in
a field entirely off the right of way.
Both train crews miraculously es
capped serious injury. The cars were
piled high and the track was torn
up for considerable distance.
Wreckers, with full crews aboard,
were rushed to the scene from Ear
lington and Nashville, but the track
cleared and repaired before morning.
All passenger trains Monday night
were sent around via the Illinois
Central by Nortonville, Central City
and Russellvile. The Elkton train
came here from Guthrie and carried
all the passengers to that point, so
they might catch their trains, Guth-
rie being the point where the trains
leave this division. The railroad
officials gave out but little informa-
tion regarding the wreck, and it is
not known just where the blame lies.
All trains were running as usual
Tuesday.

is over and Stanley is in clover and
Givens and Clements have their loss
to mourn over. But both being
game men, they say hurrah for Stan
ley. Amen.
