into verse by one of our great poets,
Byron, as follows;
THE Assyrian came down like the wolf
on the fold
And his cohorts were cleaning with pur-
pie and gold
Like the leaves of the forest when sum-
mer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset
were seen.
Like the leaves of the forest which au-
tumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered
and strewn; +5
For the Angel of Death spread his wings
on the blast
And breathed in the face of the foe as he
passed.
And the tents were all silent, the BAN
ners alone,
The lances untitled, the trumpet un-
blown;
And the might of the Gentle, unsmote
Hath melted like slow at the glance Of
the Lord

The girl decided that green was the
only color which should intrude upon
this stately place, and as there was no
top to the balcony she had frame
work put up over the top and trained
over it quickly growing vines which
soon afforded delightful shade.
Imitation ivory brackets made of
plaster of paris were put in against
the brick wall background, and on
these there were decorated cups or

Isaiah briefly and POLITICALLY de-
clares that the angel of the Lord
smots the camp of the Assyrians
without explaining in what manner.

Scriptures that wind and fire and

gers or angels. Quite probably. in
this instance. the messenger of death
may have been a malignant form OF
fever said to prevail at times to the
northeast of Egypt; but it matters not

to turn back the Assyrian hosts

vine power which overrules, orders

The lesson to the Christian is that
we should keep right with God. abld-

Difference IN THE RACES
Mexlcans In the Main Unjust In
Blaming Americans for Lack
of Pollteness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject of
why Americans are not better liked
by Mexicans agree that 1t is largely a
question of a lack of politeness on
the part of the foreigner here, and in
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable, and certain
ly must emanate only from inconsid-
crate or poorly educated persons, from
which no nation is free. Politeness,
however. Is largely a matter of form
and training. 1t is undeniable that
the Anglo-Saxon salutations, methods
of expressing thanks and apprecia-
ton, etc, are simpler and shorter
than the Latin forms. To many who
have all their lives been accustomed
to the briefer Saxon ways, an attempt
of the more elaborate Latin politeness
seems, for them, nothing short of af-
fectation, and they simply cannot do
1t. There are exceptions among Amer
leans and Englishmen who readily
adopt the courteous phrases of the
Mexicans and use them naturally, but
they are the exceptions. And 1t is
difficult to see how this can readily
be changed. Our Mexican friends
should understand. on the other hand,
that If Anglo-Saxons do not, as a rule,
go through as many social formalities
as the usages of the land prescribe,
they mean no ofrense thereby. They
are accustomed to taking a good
many things for granted that their
Latin cousins give verbal assurance

Planting Wedding Oaks.


Princess August wilhelm, wife Of
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task of reviving one OF Germany's
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side in q
park or BY the roadside of their ma
tive town.
The town of Mulchausen, In Thurin-
gia, is the first to respond to the prin-
cess appeal. A municipal official ap-
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him In a car
rage to new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector of Brandenburg
with the object of repairing the raw
ages caused by the 80 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar
ry until they had planted a number of
fruit trees.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the IL covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle of the
table a mirror held tall central vase
of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies In the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians, and
the cakes were served on baskets.
