A dozen spires against the sky
A plain of roofs-the circled glow
OF one great dome-a canyon'd street
The prisoned river far below;
Shrill echoes of teeming way
A whistles iron-throated cry
The clatter of road of stone
Unnumbered steps that murmur by.
The savage knew thy triple hill,
The dauntless Pilgrim turned to
thee,
Thy snowy street was first to bear
The crimson flower OF liberty.
Thy sons were champions of the slave,
Thy children fashioned Cubas fate
And still a mighty work is thine,
Staid guardian of our northeast gate,
From lands where sunset is the dawn
The nations bring their gifts to
thee
On double roads of ringing steel
And laden pathways OF the sea,
Oh wake in pleasure stifled ears
The challenge of unsorted spoil
Give US a task, and guard our lips
From Boosting in another's toll.
Acrcgs thy stream our fathers came
To Avn he I'm Lad 80
With thee they tracked the circling
stars
And heard the songs of Rome
again
Thou giyest them the seeds of strength
The glimpses of a world unwon-
D give that power now. reveal
The fathers vision to the son.
Awake the buried soul that cried
For justice from naughty king,
And bid our later monarchs share
With all the spoil that all may
bring.
o touch our drowsy hearts with
shame
For sunless homes where sin is
piled,
And call us from the shrines of gold
Built on the ruins of child.
Now fades the day behind the stream,
The quivering lights begin to glow,
thousand footsteps eager come,
A thousand others weary go,
On toiling tide and plundered hill
The ageless challenge rings again
Each light shrine for sacrifice,
Each step trumpet call for men.

Avoid tho Cheap and "5ls Cam Bsk-

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty OF powder for his money
but it's not all baking powder; the bulk
is made up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are
80 carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they viii not make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage Of
l~eavening gas; therefore it takes from two
TO three times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long
N the actual cost TO the consumer of the
cheap powders is more than Calumet

Landscape Gardening

Frederick j. Haskin in Sioux City Tribune
Landscape gardening as a profession is
one Of the newer callings In America, but
during the past decade it has progressed
faster than any other. In communities
where the appearance of the landscape
has never before been considered, beautf-
ful picturesque effects will be achieved
during the coming summer. After an
American business man has acquired a
comfortable competence his mind natur-
ally turns towards securing beautiful en-
~vironments for himself. The American
landscape gardener is prepared to meet
these demands, so that all who are able to
employ high skill in out-of-door art. can
find plenty of their own countrymen COM
petent to produce the required effects.
America now rivals Europe both in the
number and beauty of its large LANDED es-
tates.
The competent landscape gardener must
be both a scientist and an artist. He must
have q scientific education enabling him
quickly to determine the chemical compo-
sition OF soil, the relative heat and cold
of a locality from its exposure to the sun,
as well as the climatic conditions required
for the growth of the various trees. plants
and s%hrubbery. Then, in addition to pos
sessing the eve of an artist, he should
have the ingenuity OF an invento for he
must be ever ready TO suggest original de-
signs in compliance with some idea, per-
haps absolutely ~inconRruous. OF his en-
ployer.
The work OF a skilled landscape gardener

years ago employed a landscape gardener
to improve the appearance of three blocks
Of ground for the site of several apartment
houses. The situation was carefully stud

certain hardy trees and shrubs were suit

The value of the landscape gardeners

authorities and in consequence the present
season is showing more active results
along this line. SHELTON. Ia, appropriated

beginning of a movement towards secur-

In the high schools in many of the cities
landscape gardening forms a supplement

are becoming so numerous, especially I'm

any ambition felt obliged to go to Europe
to secure his education, quite as good facil-
tiles for studying this profession in his
own land are now being provided. The
best ideas of Europe have been brought
to America and have been enlarged and

can workman.
The result OF landscape gardening is he
