A WONDERFUL TOWN

Lecturing at the London Salon of
Photography recently, James Shaw
said that the town of Rothenburg, in
Bavaria, was model in the way of
municipalities. Should a business be
on the point of leaving the town, the
town itself would guarantee the
necessary money in order that the
disaster to local industry might be
averted- Recently the town had in
this manner financed a baby car man
ufactory.
There was neither a workhouse nor
vestige of a slum in Rothenburg,
and the laborer. the artisan, the pro-
fessional man and the nobleman lived
next door to each othsr in the same
street.

r TITLE dead baby so still and SO cold;
Little white baby with ringlets of gold;
= Wee waxen fingers, half clasping toy,
Eyelids tight closed on the world and its joy
Over the hills where the dark shadows creep,
Stilled in the valley where baby souls sleep,
Little dead baby, so still and cold,
Little white baby with ringlets Of gold.
Wee little grave at the end of the lane,
Shut out alone with the pattering rain;
Rose petals blown from the bush at the gate
Drift through the garden and settle in state.
Dustng the ground with coverlet gay
One rosy spot in the gloom of the day
Wee little grave at the end of the lane
Shut out alone with the pattering rain.
