A Bunch Of Flowers.
]. II. o..

A little bunch of summer flowers
Sweet with the perfume of natures bowers
From home in a city not far away
Was sent to my lonely cell today.
And dream of the past in my heart stirred,
And waited me back like the voice of a bird
To shady dell in wooded spot,
Where bloomed in summer the for-get-me-not.
In the fragrant scent of this bunch of flowers
/ remembered again my boyhood hours,
When hope like an incense pure and sweet
Had filled my heart with a throbbing beat,
And again felt the old timed thrill,
That boy feels, who longs to fill
All the world with joy, and fame above
The name, with the deeds of love.
In this bunch of flowers am minded too,
OF death in life that pass through
death of soul, though the body lives,
faded flower that no fragrance gives;
A useless weed with its lifeblood shed
And classed with things, that marked as dead"
AS flower soon dies when torn from the stem,
Sc name once tarnished, is dead to men.
In this bunch of flowers there's word of cheer
From the hearts of pure women. who mnge tear
With the tears of the fathers of mothers and wives
The sisters and sweethearts of all our lives
As type of the dead are laid away here
And the loved ones outside mourn over our bier
Ts then, that to cheer, through lifes weary hours
Comes this tribute of friendship gift of sweet flowers
In this bunch of fowers-tho they wther and die
The gift long remembered is written on high
In the great Book of Lfe there the record will show
I'm AS MUCH AS IT" to those here below
You'll receive the reward that you failed to here
And add star, to the crown that you'll wear.
We thank you, and bless you, for this flower day,
And hope to be mentioned in the hour when you pray

FLOWER SUNDAY OBSERVED
Members of w. G. II. U. Hold
Morning Chapel Service
By YOUNG STEADY

For some years past it has been
customary for the ladies of the w.
c.. T. u. to set aside certain Sunday
each year to be known as Flower
Sunday. On that day they visit the
different state institutions to glad
den the hearts of those who are shut
away from so much of the beauty of
the world, and distribute among them
fiowers-those little messengers of
love and purity tiny cards, con-
tanning messages of the Gospel of
Christ, in whose service their lives
are lived.
On Sunday morning last, about
fifty members of the Society visited
this institution and conducted chapel
service. Miss Rose Hendrix, State
President. presided. The program
opened with a march by the orches-
ira. Rev. Budlong of Saltwater
who, in the absence of Rev. Benson,
performed the duties of Chaplain,
led in prayer; asking Gods blessing
upon those whose lives had been
saddened by deeds of wrong and in
voking His aid in behalf of those
who are endeavoring to stamp out
the liquor traffic, which caused the
downfall Of a large percentage OF
young men confined in institutions
of this sort. The lesson for the day
was read by Mrs. Mabel Couchlin
after which followed a hymn, Near
er My God to Thee, by the congrega

Paper Read Before the Chautduqua Circle.

Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle.
/ wish to say that this paper is not
a lecture on temperance, but an i'm
partial view of the saloon problem
before the country today. Feeling
that too much of any one thing is a
plenty, I have endeavored to be as
brief as possible, at the same time /
have not overlooked the fact that in
order to write upon a subject of this
kind, it is very necessary to give
sufficient space to the salient points
that all may fully understand the at
titude have chose to take, and not
misinterpret anything I may say.
We have all at one time or anoth-
er been part of an audience that has
listened to discourse on temper
ance. Temperance advocates may
be found in every civilized place
throughout the world. They have
told us in many ways, and quite Of
ten, that intemperance is curse to
civilization. They have placed the
blame for all suffering and sorrow
caused by the use of strong drink
upon the saloon, and are endeavoring
in every way to bring the many
thousands of people to realize the
truth Of what they have said.
For anyone of intelligence to deny
their allegations would be most inn
possible, for it is a fact beyond dis
pute that the saloon is to blame for
the greatest portion of the suffering
endured by thousands of men, wo-
men and children.
Men and women have fallen to
ruin through the curse of strong
drink. Mothers and their children
have been made to suffer disgrace
and hunger. II has placed many
men in institutions like this. 1t has
been the cause, according to statistics
of seventy-five per cent, Of t b {
crimes committed throughout the
country. 1t has broken up happy
homes and has sent many to pre-.
mature grave. Knowing that al
these facts are true can anyone
blame those who are endeavoring te
drive out the saloon?
It would be unfair to those wht
have interested themselves in behal1
of temperance for anyone to bea1
animosity toward them, yet itwoult
, seem that the people who are en-
deavoring to bring about better con
ditions by driving out the saloon, arr
entirely on the wrong track.
Prohibition has been advocates
for years, and the political part,
that bears the title for prohibition
has worked hard to place their can
didates in Office to strengthen thei
/, cause. They have succeeded in s
! doing in several states, but the fey
who have been elected are SO muc
! in the minority, that nearly all at
! tempts made to enact laws, in behal
! of prohibition have been unsuccess

Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahom

there are thousands of others who

this point.

in the towns. Their appearance was
vastly different from saloons I have
seen in other states. There were
no screens to obstruct view of the
interior from those who might pass
on the outside; there were no tables
where patrons could sit and drink;
there were no private rooms; no in
toxicated customers were to be seen,
and they were obliged to close at 10

all the evil and injury being suffered
