GIVE THEM THE FLOWERS NOW

BY Leigh NJ. Rodges.
Closed eyes can't see the white roses
Cold hands can't hold them, you
know,
Breath that is still can not gather
THE odors that sweet from them
blow.
Death, with peace beyond dream
ing,
Its children of earth doth endow,
Life is the time we can help them,
So give them the flowers now!
Here are the struggles and striving
Here are the cares and the tears;
Now is the time to be smoothing
The frowns and the burrows and
fears.
What TO closed eyes are kind say
ings?
What to hushed heart is deep vow?
Naught can avail after parting,
So give them the flowers now
Just warm word or a greeting;
Just warm grasp or smile
They are the flowers that will
tighten
The burdens for many a mile.
After the journey is over
What is the use of them; how
Can they carry them who must be
carried?
Oh, give them the flowers now.
Blooms from the happy hearts gar
den,
Plucked in the spirit of love:
Blooms that are early reflections
Of flowers that blossom above.
Words cannot tell what a measure
OF blessing such gifts will allow
To dwell in the lives of many,
So give them the flowers now.

THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS"
beautiful Play Coming to the Grand
Opera House Soon.

The success of Harold Bell Wright s
novel, The Shepherd of the Hills y
made into a play by its author in
collaboration with Fishery w. Rey-
nolds. is proving just as big on the
stage as in book form it does in the
book store
The story of the play is based on a
somewhat dramatic plot of mystery
An unknown person comes into the
Ozark mountains, and because of his
clerical bearing and readiness to Of
ficiate for the regular pastor of the
mountaineers, portion of his dis
guise is penetrated The mountain
GERS who live so much to themselves
are willing to let the man live the
life of a partial recluse. He makes
friends with one family and volun-
teers for the place of shepherd. In
this guise he attempts to eXpiate the
wrongdoing of his son who several
years previously had come into the
mountains and wronged one of the
young women. Her father has vowed
deadly vengeance on the betrayer OF
his daughter, but he has disappeared
leaving no trace Of his whereabouts.
1t is generally supposed that he is
dead. The good shepherd wins the
lnUn anh of hn 70 in
though at one time his life is endan-
gered by lawless band of mountain
GERS who suspect he is a revenue Of
ficer
There are many dramatic episodes
in the play, but its strength lies in
the unfolding and development of its
characters. The shepherd is a most
impressive figure, mentally and ply
isically. The young woman who is
the heroine of the story is untram-
melted by the conventions of the
town and has good red blood in her
veins. With the aid of the shepherd
she polishes her mind so that she
becomes young woman of culture
and refinement. Then there is the
young mountaineer whose love is
honest and sincere and who downs
the champion bully and strong man
of the mountains in a marvellous con-
test of strength and endurance. Then
/ there is the uncanny youth who wan
ders like will-o'- the-wisp across the
mountains and is the means of finally
bringing happiness to the shepherd
and restoring the good name of the
mountaineer's family.
There is much atmosphere Of
the hills pervading the play. And in
making the production Messrs. Gas.
kell and MacVitty, the producers, Il
is said, have supplied some beautiful
and artistic stage pictures.

UNITES OLD SWEETHEARTS

CATARACT. Wis, Aug. 23.-Mary
Krotzer Landers, Of this place, and
W. ~ Schroyer, of Bradner Ohio,
were married after twice-tried
courtship. More than two-score years
ago they were fond sweethearts, but
after a courtship of nine years each
found and married another partner.
After a time death claimed the hus-
band of one and the wife of the other,
leaying each alone again.
About two years ago a young wo-
man visited Mrs. Landers and upon
her return she thought it would be a
good joke to send Mr.. Schroyer. a
card and sign the name of his former
sweetheart. Later a card was mail
ed to the person who was supposed
to have written IT, After that a let
ter of inquiry and one of explanation
started a correspondence. After two
years they decided to live their re-
naming years together and Mr..
Schroyer went to Toledo to meet his
former sweetheart.
