That was the earth before

| babe you rise and reach,
| called and fires famed,
| called and beasts were tanned,
called and swords were made,
called and walls were laid;
Hear me and learn Of fame
Fear me and burn with shame,
Doubt me and Aout me and pay the cost,
When Ambition deserts you then all is lost.
Rough are the roads that bid you go,
Bitter and hard is my code, know;
But ready am to bestow full need
OF honor on him who achieves. In deed
Alone is the proof Of the steiner breed.
Gems in the womb Of the earth hide,
Gold in the cefts Of the mountalnslde,
GLORY with shadows and hunger mask,
Nothing grant to the weak[ngs who ask,
Nothing have for the cutters who whine,
The cheat and the idler gain nothing Of mine.
But for the chosen, the valorous few,
Who dream far and dare far and fare far and do,
Rising. and falling and rising anew,
Stars from the brow of Night rape,
Crowns for the heads Of kings shape. Il

 Three Hours

Paris, March 7.-Henry Salvey, French aviator arrived at Issyles Moulieaux, a suburb of Paris, in. his monoplane at II a. m, having travelled from London, Ieav- ing there at a. m, without stop He covered the distance of 222 miles in two hours and 57 minutes. He declared that, having urgent engagements in Paris and because train and steamer service was affected by the labor difficulties, he had decided to make the voyage through the afr in spite of the unfavorable weather over the channel. His machine was shaken by violent squalls, but the motor worked fine After completing his local ized engagement the aviator left for London in his monoplane
 Salyey travelled at an average height of f0O0 feet and was generally above the clouds, only occasionally catching glmpses of land or sea. His extraordi- nary speed is explained by the fact that his machine was pushed along by a strong wind from the north, which will be ,ln- favorable to his progress on his return trip to England.
