NY LOVE

Her young face is softly fair
Pearl of morning flushed with red
And her dark brown, silken hair
Makes a glory round her head.
And her voice is soft and low,
Clear as music, and as sweet;
Hearing it, you hardly know
Where the sound and silence meet
All the magic who can tell
OF her laughter and her sighs
Or what heavenly meanings dwell
In her kind, contiding eyes.
All her ways are winning ways,
Full of tenderness and grace;
And a witching sweetness plays
Fondly DER her gentle face.
True and pure her soul within
Breathing a celestial air!
Evil and the shame of sin
Could not dwell a moment there.
Is it but a vision, this?
Fond creation of the brain?
Phantom of a fancied bliss?
Type of beauty void and vain?
Nc! the tides of being roll
Toward a paradise to be,
Where this idol of my soul
Waits and longs for love and me.

SWIMMING TO PASTURE

The island of Bernera. Lewis, In
the Northwestern Hebrides, does not
afford sufficient summer grazing for
the crofters' cattle. Consequently in
the beginning Of July each year they
are sent to the mainland hills for a
period of about two months. In or
der to get there they have to swim
a sea channel about half a mile wide.
On a certain day the cattle, number
ing about 700 are gathered together
on the seashore. Two or three of
them are tethered to a rowing boat
and when the remainder see these in
the water they plunge in themselves
and swim across.

WHEN THE BABY CRIES.

When the baby cries there are only
a few things to do.
Following are the things:
Lay him on his tumn1y, pat him
very gently in the region of the
equator.
Feed him some matted milk out Of
a bottle.
bangle a jumping-jack in front of
his eyes for an hour or two.
Let him pull all of your hair out,
one hair at o time.
Give him an olive oil rub all over.
Get all of his mechanical toys out
and wind them up.
Make funny noises for him and
let him hang onto your mustaches
and turn fiiphops.
Let him poke his fist in your eyes.
After you have tried all Of these
do the ultimate thing and get up and
walk with him for three or four
hours. If he is still crying, and ne
generally is, repeat the entire pro
gram.

is too hot, as in the tropics; or too
hot and wet, as in the forest deserts
of Central Africa or Central South
America; or too hot and dry, as in
the Sahara; or too dry with a good
temperature, as in much of North
America; or too cold, as in great
deal of Canada, Labrador, Siberia and
portions of Russia and Patagonia.
Greenland, Iceland and the unknown
Antarctic continent are always

With the human race so growing
in numbers it seems certain that new
lands will have to be occupied peace
ably; or the old, fierce game of war
and conquest and extirpation must
be resumed.
The passengers used to kill each
other off more than now. Away off
in the unknown wilds of eastern
Asia, some great brute of a murderer
like Genghis Khan would arise and
assail his fellow men, using other
fellow men as a weapon, and the
tribes and nations would begin to be
driven against each other like row
of falling bricks. The huge CONT
nent would shake with war-and
finally, the wave would surge west
ward until our ancestors in Europe
would be involved Under the beat
ing of such waves, Greece was sub
merged, and the Roman Empire
went down in ruins. The passengers
were seeking new quarters, that's
all. But now, we seem to have ceased
for while to do this-in their way,

murder there is an increase in people

The passengers are in many places
getting too numerous. In peaceful
China and prolific India. and probably
in some. other countries, the limits OF
subsistence are already being pressed
upon by sheer force of numbers
Where is the new land for the new
billions?
There are two directions in which
the Understandings of the future
may move. They are north and
south. In both directions the eli

What SaIesmanship Means
Mrs. Jones arrives.

Mrs. Jones arrives.
She opens the big door to the sales
room with dainty circumspeetion. She
anticipates a blaze of bright nickel
and ebony, with here and there an

which she sees a dirty, dimly lighted
interior.
On the neglected tile floor, oil
stands in small, threatening puddles.
She pulls her skirts out of the
danger zone. Her searching eyes
cast about timidly. She is just about
to beat a retreat when she sees the
greasy soles of two feet protrudins
from beneath an old used motor
car.

remark is directed to the prone gen

silently in grease. Can you direct

THE BOW AND ARROW

One curious result of the study of
the mural paintings and engravings

men is the evidence which 1t has af-

ready in use at that very early period.

deer and wild goats are represented,
and arrows are shown sticking into
many of the animals Some OF the

foes of the cocoanut palm are the
worm called ''rosador" and the bug

combated. The cocoanut industry
apparently has good future. A
local company is reported as having
recently sold LOO acres to investors,
and one hacienda is said to have
purchased recently forty tons of the
nuts for planting. The freight on

AS the guests of Chairman Henry Hiden,
the convention committee of the Cham

club yesterday at noon. The organiza-
ton of a convention bureau here was the
feature of the subjects taken under dis
cussion during the luncheon
Plans for the year were discussed in
a general way, but it was stated nothing
definite enough had been done to make
any announcements. All the members of
the committees were present
The convention committee of the cham
ber is considered of additional impor-
tance this year because upon it largely
will rest the matter of securing the first
conventions in Birmingham, which will
make use of the two new million dollar
hotels and the proposed public auditorium
