 On Egypt's famous shore, Were many sculptured wonders And books of classic lore; But better than past grandeur In buried cities found .A Are modern Alexandria's4 Fresh treasurers from the ground. l And today this sweet renaissance I Of glories ante bellum To us Is worth far more Than anything in vellum. If we should seek a region
 For sowing seeds of kindness And growing plants that nourish A cure for human blindness, We would rest here in this valley And know that nevermore Could be found soil so fertile Though we seek from shore to shore. And should we need a Ceres
 Some goddess wise and rare To guard this gentle harvest
 And garner it with care. should we seek a soul Of sweetness Of love for all things true, To tend this magic valley
 We should find it all in you."

Late Emperor.
MRS. KNOX IN THE PARTY

Philander C. Knox. Secretary Of State.
left Washington last night for japan at
the head OF a special American embassy
to attend the funeral ceremonies for
Mutsuhito, late Emperor Of Japan. Mr..
Knox was accompanied by Mrs. Knox
and by Ransford Miller. chief Of the far
Eastern division Of the State Department.
as secretary of the mission. He Will be
joined at Seattle, by Rear Admiral Alfred
r. Reynolds as naval aid, and at Yoko-
hama by Brig. Gen. John ]. Pershing as
military aid.
The Secretary. left on the PENNSYLVANIA
train at 6:45 o'clock. Viscount Sutemi
Chinda. the japanese Ambassador, ana
his entire embassy stan. were at the sta
ton to bid the Secretary farewell. VS.
count Chinda presented Mrs. Knox with
large bouquet Of orchids.
Secretary Knox has arranged an ftin-
erary which will give himself and party
a stop OF one day for a visit to the
Canadian National Park at Bann. He
will arrive at Chicago at o'clock this
afternoon and leave at $50 for ST. Paui'
where he will arrive at o'clock Sun
day morning. He. will leave at noon
Sunday and arrive at Banff early Tues
day morning. He will leave that place
early the following morning and arrive
at Seattle on the night Of August 2
He will at once board the armored
cruiser Maryland. which is now on her
way to Seattle from Alaskan waters, and
will arrive at Yokohoma September 10.
The mission will be met there by an Of
ficial deputation from Tokyo and escorted
to that city, where they will arrive Sep
tember IL.
The funeral ceremonies, which Will be-
gin September Is, will continue for
period of three days. The American mis-
sion will leave Tokyo on September 10
and re-embark on the Maryland at Yoko-
homa on September 90 The party will
return to Seattle about October l., and
Mr. Knox is expecteds,to proceed from
that point direct to Washington.
Rumors that Secretary Knox would
probably visit China while in the far
East were dispelled yesterday by the
official announcement that he would visit
no country except Japan while on this
tour. 1t is held that since he is being
sent as the special representative of the
American government to attend the
funeral of the Emperor OF a friendly
power the undertaking OF any other
business or a visit to any other country
would be entirely inappropriate. For
this reason he will not even visit the
Philippine Islands. The only stop the
Maryland will make on either trip will
be at Honolulu for coal.
