to repeal the prohibition laws" and citing

His kingly head, and on her lips kiss
Fell like a flame-a flame that sent
Through every vein

How long, he asked, will you remem-
Der this?"
How long? She lifted from his breasl
her cheek.
Twas red with sacred love,
Yet when her redder lips essayed IL

And when her heart did move
To answer grave and sweet
Somehow smile unmeet
Broke waywardly across red lips and
cheek
How long. how long will remembe;
this,
'"say your" she murmured low
Say you'-and while she trembled with
her bliss
The smile went to and fro
Across her flushing face
And hid a graver grace
Say you. how long will you remember
this?"
He bent above her in that moments bliss
He held her close and fast;
How long. how long will remember
this?
Until cross at last
With failing. dying breath
That river men call Death,
SO long, so long will remeber this"
But when apart they stood. did he re-

His word that summer dayf
Did he r"rember through the long De

The warmth and love of May?
The warmth and love and bliss,
The meaning of that kiss,
When kingdoms stood between-did HI

Ali who can say for him? For her W,

The Kings kiss was her crown:
For her we know no agony OF woe,
No other smile or frown
Gould make her heart forswear

Joseph A. Magnus of Cincinnati has

affected. Doctors have little cause to
fear tuberculosis. and yet, with the min

any one thing that has ever happened.

must know that a prosperous future
is in store for this city.
