MY LOVE. MY LITTLE LoV

By Julia Neely- Finch.
All, fair, far chamber, set above.
Where she whom l SO dearly lovd
Hath gone from earth to dwell.
| would that l could look tonight
Within your window spaces brig1
And see how she doth fare.
My love was fine, was fine and 81
Was swift to hear spirit call;
To hear and follow on:
/ wonder who doth fold her wan
Within the hollow of an arm \
And hold my love from harm!
/ cannot bear to think that there
She lacketh e'en the littlest care
I loved to give her here:
So fine was she, SO fine, so frail,
So wan her face, SO sweetly pale
There never bloomed a rose.
I wonder If. remembering
How we together loved the spring
She longs to lean and look
At earth, this lonely earth of ours
That spring is carpeting with fby
All, me! The lonely earth!
Does she grieve up there and pine
And find no love as good as min,
My love! My little love!
And does she sit with pensive ey
And little hands stretched beggifv
For mine to find and fold?
All, me! From all earth's stress al
To fare forth, find the way to her
To find and feel her mine.
To bind her here above my heart
So close that life nor death could
My little love and I!

MOST SACRED SPOT ON EARTH

From the Wide World.
What may perhaps be described as the
most sacred spot on earth is the grotto
or manger in the Church of the Ma
tivity at Bethlehem. This small under
ground chamber, reached from the
church above by a flight of steps, is
said to be the site of the actual manger
where Christ was born, and silver star,
let into the floor underneath the altar,
is alleged to be the exact spot of the ma
tivity. Above the star hang 15 lamps,
which have continually illuminated the
little chapel for several hundred years.
The altar is adorned with most elabo-

A TOY WITH A MISSION

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Eiffel tower was built to feature the
Paris exposition of 1889. Its future was
uncertain, probably; it would have been
difficult to foresee any career of great
usefulness for what appeared to me a
mere huge toy which was expensive to
maintain and too costly to destroy.
But the builders of the tower were either
far sighted beyond the average or lucky.
In 1909 the city of Paris bought the great
tower and made it wireless telegraph

reason why the suffering center should

4 y =
Birmingham pays a large proportion of
the taxation of the state of Alabama.
Birmingham needs legislation to relieve
its distress. It does not desire, nor would
1t ask for, that which every honest man
in the state of Alabama believes it is
not entitled to.
So why should not the governor of the
state of Alabama call an extra session
of the legislature. not only to relieve the
situation in Birmingham but TO relieve
the situation which is manifest in Ala
bama standing in national legislative
affairs
1 believe that Alabamians representing
their respective districts in the legisla-
ture of this state are competent to con-
duct it's affairs without interfering per-
sonahties or paying past debts of graft

to give the time to the world,
The second International time confer
nece met at Paris the other day. 1t had
been decided at previous conference that
an international time bureau should be
established at the French capital; at this
second meeting further plans were formu-
lated and the leading part the Eiffel tower
station is to take in the plan of giving
time by wireless to the world worked
out more in detail The great height Of
the tower gives 1t pre-eminent value as a
wireless station; from 1t the Hertzian
waves will be sent to ships sailing in dis
distant lands.
Practical unification of time the world
over means much to commerce. AT pres
ent ships, for instance, take their reckon
ing by the aid of chronometers which are
variable and liable to error. A very slight
mistake in time means considerable dis
tance on the sea. The wireless will permit
frequent adjustment of chronometers
and lead to vastly greater accuracy in
ships reckonings.
Faint messages from the Eiffel tower
are said to have been received in Cleve-
land. Between Paris and Washington the
exchange of signals is regular and de-
pendable 1t is a case of toy regulating
the time of the world.
