--..4A isneo ana bright and clean, as II
for parade or inspection!
This is the sword of Damascus
fought with in Flanders; this
breastpiate,
Well l remember the day. once saved
my life in a sl1irmish;
Here in front you can see the very
dint of the bullet
Fired point-blank at my heart by a
Spanish arcabucero.
Had it not been of sheer steel, the for
gotten bones of Miles Standish-
Would at this moment be mold, in
their grave in the Flemish
morasses'
Thereupon answered John Alden, but
looked not up from his writing:
Truly the breath of the Lord hath
slackened the speed of the bullet;
He in his mercy preserved you, to be
our shield and our weapon!"
Still the Captain continued. unheeding
the words of the STRIPPING:
See, how bright they are FURNISHED,
as if in an arsenal hanging;
That is because l have done it mys
self, and not left it to others.
Serve yourself, would you be well
served, is an excellent adage;
So take care of my arms, as you OF
your pens and your inkhorn.
Then, too, there are my soldiers, my
proot ;nyino ih1o army
Twelve men, all equipped, having each
his rest and his matchbox,
Eighteen shilling a month, together
with diet and pillage,
And, like Caesar, know the name OF
each of my soldiers!"
This he said with smile, that danced
in his eyes, as the suibeams
Dance on the waves of the sea, and
vanish again in a moment.
Alden laughed as he wrote, and still
the Captain continued:
Look! you can see from this window
my brazen howitzer planted
High on the roof of the church, a
preacher who speaks to the pur-
pose,
Steady, Straightforward, and strong.
with irresistible logic,
Orthodox, flashing conviction right
into the hearts of the heather.
Now we are ready, think, for any
assault of the Indians;
Let them come, if they like, and the
sooner they try it the better
Let them come, if they like, be 1T saga.
more, sachem, or powwow,
Aspinet, Samoset, Corbitant, Squanto,
or Tokamahamon!"
Long at the window he stood, and
wistfully gazed on the landscape,
Washed with cold gray mist, the
vapory breath of the east wind,
Forest and meadow and hill, and the
steel-blue rim of the ocean,
Lying silent and sad, in the afternoon
shadows and sunshine.
Over his countenance fitted shadow
like those on the landscape,
Gloom intermingled with light; and
his voice was subdued with emo,
ton,
Tenderness, pity, regret, as after a
pause he proceeded:
"Yonder there, on the hill by the sea
lies buried Rose Standish;
Beautiful rose of love, that bloomed
for me by the wayside!
She was the first to die of all who
came in the Mayflower!
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1911-06-01

Truly the maxim is good, and l do
not mean to gainsay it;
But we must use it discreetly, and not
waste powder for nothing
Now, as l said before, l was never a
maker of phrases.
l can march up to fortress and sum-
mon the place to surrender,
But march up to woman with such a
proposal, dare not.
I'm not afraid of bullets, nor shot
from the mouth of a cannon,
But of laundering MOI point blank
from the mouth of a woman,
That l confess I'm afraid of, nor am
ashamed to confess it!
So you must grant my request, for
you are an elegant scholar,
Having the graces of speech, and skill
in the turning of phrases"
Taking the hand Of his friend, who
still was reluctant and doubtful,
Holding it long in his own, and press
ing it kindly, he added:
Though l have spoken thus lightly,
yet deep is the feeling that
prompts me;
Surely you can not refuse what l ask
in the name of our friendship"
Then made answer John Alden: The
name of friendship is sacred
What you demand in that name,
have not the power to deny you!"
So the strong will prevailed, sub
DUNG and molding the gentler,
friendship prevailed over love, and
Alden went IN his errand.

So the strong will prevailed, and Al
den went on his errand,
Out of the street of the village, and
into the paths of the forest,
Into the tranquil woods, where blue
birds and robins were building
Towns in the populOus trees, with
hanging gardens of verdure,
Peaceful. aerial cities of joy and af-
lection and freedom.
All around him was calm, but within
him commotion and conflict,
Love contending with friendship, and
self with each generous impulse.
To and fro in his breast his thoughts

Love and Friendship

Nothing was heard in the room but
the hurrying pen Of the strip ing,
Or an occasional sigh from the labor
ing heart of the Captain,
Reading the marvellous words and
achievements Of Julius Caesar.
After while he exclaimed, as he
smote with his hand, palm down
ward, -
Heavily on the page: "a wonderful
man was this Caesar!

Seven letters at once, at the same
time writing his memoirs"
"Truly," continued the Captain, not
needing or hearing the other,
"Truly a wonderful man was Caius
julius Caesar!
Better be first, he said, in q little
Iberian village,
Than be second in Rome; and l think
he was right when he said it.
Twice was he married before he was

Battles five hundred he fought, and a

disintegrating in the museum of Gu
ny. After a certain number Of years
they fall into dust. The cause, it is
thought, lies in the presence of minute
quantities of saline matter with which
the objects have become impregnated
during their long burial in the soil or
under water. These microscopic i'm
purities play the part of bacteria and
microbes in living bodies. In other
words. the lead is sick" and unless
the noxious matter can be removed
will inevitably perish. Curiously
enough. it is found that If traces of
salt are impaired to a fresh mass of
lead it is attacked and eventually falls
TO pieces like the objects in the mu-
scum at Ciuny.
