While the OK eyed daisies sprinkle

Where sure footed o. r the boulders
One by one they Craze and climb
Down the highlands they are winding
In the even and the dew
Toward the farm house window shin

Like star deep in the blue.
And the music of their coming
fingers with me Through the day
Lingers with me in the present
When my locks are tinged with gray.
Oh, it rings away the sadness,
This glad music of the past,
When a-down the pleasant valley
Even brought the sheep at last;
Brought them with their bells a tink.

Brought them with their bells a.
chime;
And | saw them safely folded,
In those childhood days of mine.
Then at morning-what a glory
When the gold had banished gray
Then l sent them toward the high
lands,
Up the steep path of the way
Where I saw their dew damp fleeces
Catch the rose light in the dells;
Saw them, straying, crush beneath
them
Vagrant sprays of lily bells;
Heard their music as l left them
Fainter grow along the hill
Till it was no longer waited;
And the wide, wide world was still.

A Worthy Policeman.

A Chicago policeman started out on
his beat the other day with instruc-
tions to kill every dog he found run
ming at large. He had gone but a
short distance when little yellow dog
came into view. The officer drew his
revolver and was about to fire when
the homeless canine ran toward him
wagging his tail and playfully bark
ing. Down came the revolver with
the remark, 81 can't do it; it would
seem like shooting a child. He re-
ported at noon to his superior who re-
lieved him of his star.
"Give me anything else to do. cap
TAIN" said the policeman, land I'll
do my best, but could not kill that
friendly little dog.
This policeman should not be long
out of job as be has good heart.
The world is in need of such men.
Sentiment is dying out as commercial
ism advances. The world is looking
for big, burly men, who have courage
but no heart or sentiment Men who
from lack of sentiment have driven
the passenger pigeon and the prairie
chicken out of existence, and who are
happy when Staying birds in flight,
will look upon this policeman as
faint heart. But his refusal to kill a
homeless, friendless dog, marks him as
a man worth liking and loving. He
might well say with the bard of Avon:
81 dare do all that becomes man.
Who dares do more is none. Editorial

Mothers Song.

When Mother sings,
Heaven draws little nearer, and
hear the angels wings;
In darling dreams ! drift away fro.s
sordid ways Of men;
A fondness steals my feverish heart
back to boy hood again.
The dreariest December days break
into balmiest spring
When Mother sings.
When Mother sings.
The roses hide their thorns away;
Sorrow extracts the stings;
The sun beams still thru rifted vaults,
and gladden. the dark days;
A holy shaft sinks in my soul, like
Heavens own cathode rays;
Youths glad love-dreams, in limpid
streams, gush from my hearts
well-sprugs,
When Mother sings!
When Mother sings,
Her soul scars on the old love songs,
unknown TO peevish kings;
The proud cynic stalks sneering by,
and in naughty disdain,
Laughs at your mawkish sentiment
to drown the old refrain
But Mothers voice grows sweeter still
the seraphs sweep their strings,
When e'er she sings!
When Mother sings,
Heaven seems to bend down earth
ward on down of baby wings.
The spirit bears my soul aloft toward
the spirit-dome,
When, free from all affected trills, she
croons old Home, Sweet Home!
Away, all earthly siren songs, that
court the applause of kings,
While Mother sings!
