The gray friar loves his book and bell,
The king, his golden crown:
The archer, his october ale
That sparkles bright and brown
But search the green earth far and wide
There s naught so dear TO me
AS the little grassy wander-roads
That leads beside the sea.
They gave me wine unto my lips,
And gold within my hands,
And filled my gamers high with grain
AS pittance on my lands;
But nanght | own-nor land nor gold
Cries half so sweet to me
As my little grassy wander-roads.
A-calling by the sea.

And wandered Ger the downs,
And found myself sea-sweet nook

The Lumber Trust" Suit.

1t is interesting to know that the
governments suit against the So
called lumber trust. based upon in
formation gathered by the bureau of
corporations, does not charge the men
higher up with offending against
the Sherman antitrust law, but con-
fines its charges to the retail dealers.
1t has been the constant slur of or
gans devoted to creating preiudices
and feeling against those who are not
ready to adopt their own narrow

there exists a lumber trust of such

trusts are relegated to the shade of

Can and Boots

Muddy boots and cap of blue.
1ilddeh away from the common view

Heavy and rough and worn away:
Cap with vizor firm and wide
Darkly stained upon the side

grandmother. climbing the attic stair,
Dimly sees them hanging there,
Cobwebbed over and thick with dust;
Yet as Keen as bayonet thrust
Comes to her faithful breast again
All the sharp and sudden pain
known to her heart in that other May
When the message came one day.
Telling the wounded and the slain.
Ever one picture lives for her
Flags and troops and a martial stir;
Yonder a boy with laughing eye.
Turning again to wave good-by.
Oh, how her fearless lids had burned
oh, how her throbbing heart had yearned
On, her pride in him as he went,
Marching away with his regiment
one of the many who never returned!
Faded the light from those laughing
Borne from the battlefield at night.
Nainly he fought the final fight
Facing the Foe that is not denied
Just as the morning broke he died.
Long was the waiting trench they made
Where the silent form was laid,
With many another there beside.
Many and weary have been the years.
Heavy with heartache, dimmed by tears.
Over the trench, unmarked. unknown,
Long nave the waving grasses grown.
Mingled the dust of friend and foe;
Needless the tides of the living flow;
But at the top of the attic stair
Grandmother fondles her treasures there,
And lives again in the long ago

Will You Bring Back Light?

What is the best thing you brought
back from your round the world ?"
Quick and hearty was the young wo-
mans reply: Appreciation of my own
country. The nnspeakable distance be-
tween the degradation of uncivilized
| and half civilized peoples and the ex-
altation of mankint here"
That view of our country is the best
it is the true and inspiring view.
Instead of dwelling on the high cost
of living" the petty scandals of socie
ty or politics. ii IS our right to keep
the face turned upward and be happy
in the truth that life here is the brigh-
est the world ever knew.
No doubt many can lay down this
paper and think of their own globe
trot You saw it, in the Orient, that
degraded human life that is known
only to those who have actually seen
it. You can picture it to yourself nov.
and you would refuse to describe it in
detail. But to the young people about
you, who fret over a feather that has
got cut of curl. or toy they cannot
have, you can talk mere from actual
knowledge than they ever heard from
others.
The traveller is {. torehbearer The
Japenese students came over here and
carried back light. Now, let the great
number of Americans travelling abroad
bring back the light. Tell the truth.
See things in other lands as they real
ly are What things? The things that
are driving human life, ever from Eu-
rope to America in vast hordes-
things in the fields, in the villages in
the towns. Not the gay exposure OF
the capitals that are for your enter
taiament, but the sober and sore reali-
ties.
The thoughtful observer, especially
il his journey leads him 10 very dis
tant lands will not return boastful but
he will be grateful. The weighty prob
lem of assimilation seems heavier
when one thinks of the possibilities of
making American citizens OF those
people now coming here as he contem-
plates them in the place of origin
The esthetics of 4 European journey
are a delight. But one American viii

Celebration of Christmas,

Editor of The Nirginian:
Sir,--As you the leading paper all
moral questions in our city. / want to ask space
In your columns to express my views tand be-
lieve / express the Views of thousands of others)
in regard to how We celebrate Christmas In Our
Southland. / say our Southland because l do
not know how 1t is celebrated North and West.
though l have heard 1t was kept more sacred.
This is not a new idea with me- but l have
thought for many years that We desecrate in
stead OF celebrate our Saviours birthday.
more deeply impressed with this idea last
Christmas, as 1t came on Sunday. l gath
cred around bonfires boys and young men cele-
brating with fireworks etc, II 1t was some
other day, and. sad to say, some stores were
selling them fireworks. / do not think this IS
pleasing to our Lord, for the good of the
rising generation The giving and receiving
presents. social gatherings. Sunday school cele-
brations all right and appropriate. There
are many ways we can make the children and
the old people happy without fireworks Let
us cut these out, and use them some more
appropriate occasion. They would be far more
suitable to celebrate some national event, such
the Fourth of July. OF course, it would be
we'll to cut out the frewater roo, for In my
opinion this Is less appropriate than the other.
No doubt some who indulge in intoxicants at
Christmas and think they have more liberty at
this season to indulge more freely may not
agree With me.
Even members of the various churches have
they can't celebrate without 1t. / reckon these
same members take 1T in other forms and at
other times, and only use Christmas ex-
cuse to indulge more freely. l believe there
are thousands who agree with me on this sub
ject. Let us get together and If we can't
bring about the desired end, and 1t will work a
great reform In the estimation of the writer.
WIN the fathers and mothers and church,
going people lend hand and see II Christmas,
1911. win not be more sacredy observed. Hope
you may continue to grow and help in the great
reforms so much needed in our beloved city
and country. A. 3. CHEATHAM.
