To Lie in the Lew

(Margaret Vandegrift in Scribners Magazne)
 TO lie in the lew that is, leeward of hedge, is the country idea of peace, of lassitude a peculiar stiffness nhablts the lew; such other resting place give you. The great winds fall back bafed from that concrete quietude only the minute voices of bees and grasshoppers and field mice to hear and the unruffled melody of birds-From The Hedge" Time when I marched bravely on the dusty With those carried banners and had great
 things do; And time l traveed steadily along the quiet Now-I lie in the lew l fell out of line long before they took the city To which We all were marching, for too well l knew That the lame and the lazy evoke contempt, not But-to lie in the lew. Let find quiet path that in time will lead
 through; Grass path, clay-path, path of gravel But-to lie in the lew, So found the quiet path and, not wholly dis
 contented l kept along in hope. l thought I knew But who shall dare think he his fate has
 circumvented?
 It led to the lew. Cool the grass, and soft great hedge throws
 a shadow: And the road is of sight, almost out of hearing
  And the sounds the voices of a peaceful summer
 meadow.
 As I lie in the lew Aud should thankful heart be singing lauds and
 praises That the chance to fight is gone. that there's
 nothing left do? Tell me, of million hearts that this dreadful life
 amaZeS. With it's unfuilments it's doubts and fears and
  For my heart is very cold, and it is not singing
 praises
 As 1 lie in the lew.

The Little Glass Slipper
BY UNCLE TED.
CHAPTER l.

CHAPTER I.
A whole group OF fairies and
elves and gnomes were sitting
one day, in q deep grotto by the
murmuring sea telling tales
about mortals.
my turn next" said q very
small fairy, with very large eyes
and long golden hair.
81 want to tell you all q story
about peasant whom ] once
knew.
Ellis name was John Wilde
and he found a wee, wee glass
slipper which belonged to one Of
our people.
ut is this story about the
slipper which I am going to re-
count to you today.
"Once upon time man
named John Wilde was walking
along the road and his eyes fell
upon a beautiful glass slipper.
He hurled to pick IT up; pushed
1t into his pocket and walked on
as fast as he could!
Now John Wilde knew that
some of the little people Of
fairyland lived right near his
house in the trunk Of an old
tree. He was sure, from the tiny
size of the shoe he had found,
that it must belong to some one
of these magic folk. So what did
he do but let them know that he
had found this glass slipper!
How do you think he told
them?
HE didn't write a letter nor
send a messenger. Instead he
walked out to Nine Hills where
the tree stump stands and shout
ed at the top of his voice:
John Wilde has q beautiful
glass slipper. Who will buy 1t
from him7 Who will buy it?'
you see, he was pretty sure
that the little fairy who had lost
the slipper must go bare-footed
until it was returned. And he
meant to make the fairies pay
dearly before they got It into
their possession again.
Johns call was soon an
swered.

\ Word to Edison

Edison speaks words OF light and leading when
he states in his article for the Times that the great
problem Of this age is not SO much work for the
MASSES, as play.
Recreation as he says is RECREATION. Work
1mcreates the body and soul Play re-CREATES
10th healthy, normal play.
But Edison dropped one remrak which, of
ceurse, was only incidental but which we want to
&seuss with him. He says that the problem of
litter conditions for the poor lies in CHEAPER
E0oNSTRUCTION. From such thinker as Edi-
son, this must mean cheaper construction, not
ouly of houses but of all things that people need
10 feed, shelter and clothe them.
But the past hundred years has been the great
est era Of cheapening these things we have ever
And this cheapening has done not the slightest
|Ropd Ia tightening the labors Of tho masses
The stress is greater than ever. Moreover, if
Edison' dreams all come true if the people were
housed IN Edison's concrete houses, poured into
|m0ulds ct tenth Of the present price Of houses,
4 Il would do no good. Rents would be as high as
ever. Only land would benefit.
Invention and progress in the sciences and the
'&ffs may do wonders but they cannot do anything
different from what has been done. Edison thinks
himself worker for the people, but he is not He

SALF-EXHIBIT OF
JAPANESE ART
follower Event Under Auspices
Of Langdon High School Athle-
tic Association.

In order to raise funds to meet the
deficit necessarily incurred IN the pur-
suance of the clean, manly sport foot
ball, the Athletic Council in the high
school has decided to give the school
patrons a chance to partake in the shar.
ing Of that burden. That "value %receiv-
ed" may be the motto. The council is
instituting an art exhibition displaying
Japanese hand paintings, some of
which are called lacquer work, some OF
which are done in Japanese vegetable
color, others are water color painting
done without w%etting the paper, others
are done on velvet paper, and finally
those beautiful Japanese blue, brown
and grey paintings, known as the
"Suisar" in japan. e
The stock sent the athletic council is
remarkably beautiful, nothing less than
five cents nor more than one dollar and
fifty cents a number. Should you wish
a birthday remembrance or a Christ
mas gift you have an opportunity of
choosing something rare and unique.
Friday, October the t%hirty-tirst is the
day, the high school building the place
and "first come first served" the pass
word. Not one article will be sold
beforn the date Of the exhibition.
