MEMORIES THE VIOLETS BRING

Willis, Willis, only a penny a
bunch" The flower-gir', eagerly
questions each hurrying face.
A London street, its rows of gaunt
houses; the heavy atmosphere SUI
fused with a faint veil of gray fog,
the dull, monoton0us rumble of trafnc,
the weary feeling of struggling hu-
mainly, the sound of ANXIOUS foot
steps hastening along the paved roau
of life. The only color in tins dlm
picture a patch of violets-violets
neaped in protusion on the flower
girls tray. Vlolets, whose breath,
laden with thousand memories,
floats on the sitting air and creeps
unDldden, 1t may be unwelcOme, into
the very heart of every passer-by.
The city man, his mind running III
figures, pulls up snort to buy Duncn
OF the flowers, whose sweet scent stlrs
ms dull memory INTO activity, telling
nm that he still possesses a hearL.
Emotions long stilled, memories bit
tersweet, youthful dreams awakened
Dy the fragrance of those violets, rise
perslstentIy all day long, following
mast Oh the ail-aDsorblng worship OIL
Mammon.
Poor little modest fiowerW A
youth, bathing with the harder side
OF Ire, looks down with pity on the
Dunch OF vIolets In his hama. Like a
soft caress their breath touches his
sensitive heart, raising him above the
mum of city lite INTO the fools para
disc" of fancy.
Two girls approach; one is richly
dressed. Inc tiower-glrl steps eagerly
forward, her monotonouS cry changing
TO note of earnest interrogation. Inc
elder of the two waves aside the mod
est English flower; the more expen-
slve Parma violet is Selected-they
remind her of Nice and OF the Carnl-
val. Her companion, in the PLAIN
Drown dress, scarcely hears these tllp-
pant remarks. Bending over the tray
of English violets, she has become un-
conscious of her surroundings. Inc
violets whisper IN her ear of pabbling
brook and the song oil birds. She sees
her home-the tiny cottage, her
mothers smile; her little broJner, for
whose sake she has left that simple,
happy Lie W i've III VIC SiuiN VI A<vAi-
don society, where she must silently
endure a Thousand yelled insults that
only a dependent can understand.
w hen she turns away violet gLstens
in the feeble sunshine-a tear from
lonely, sympathetic heart lies, like
dewdrop, on the violet's breast.
All day long the violets pour out
their fragrant life on the sullen air,
growing farmer, fading away as the
day wears on. Hundreds hurry past. !
Few allow themselves to eaten the
sweet thoughts that hover round the |
flowers; fewer still have time to stop |
and buy. The flowergirl knows moth
ing of this magic fragrance. The scent
Of tray full of fresh violets brings /
back the picture of a cold, bleak morn |
ng, q noisy market, the beginning OF /
a hard days work and vague, uneasy .
luestionings prompted by pangs OF |
munger. Ear dearer to her heart than !
he fairest flower is the sight of a
little heap of dirty coppers, counted
nut on an empty tray.
4 fashionably-dres couple stop
before the fower-girl. The man offers
MS companion bunch of English vio-
cts, but, as before, they are scorn-
'ully declined.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-03-14

Parma violets look so well on fur;
English violets are SO common" she
explains.
The man puts the rejected bunch
OF violets in his buttonhole, his
thoughts leap back to forsaken mem
ory-the street fades; the sound of
traffic grows less; he answers his COM
panion mechanically; his thoughts are
far away.
ViOlets, violets, nothing but violets
There at least in the real cool solitude
of the wood that shy, most modest of
flowers was not afraid of being seen.
The ground was carpeted with them,
the air was filled with their fragrance.
"A girl sat on the stump of tree, with
violets in her hands, in the basket at
her side; violets profusely at her feet;
violets, soft and dark, in her eyes.
AS someone drew near her color deep
ened, an expectant smile lowered
round her lips.
They come TO more crowded part
of the street. The man draws closer
to his companion; the insidious scent
of the Parma viOlets she is wearing
penetrates into the very heart of that
enchanted wood. Forbidden dreams
forbidden thoughts, thousand re-
grets hush for moment through his
brain, but he had deliberately scorned
the modest country flower, he had
chosen her rich, her more precious ri
val. In the press of the crowd some

thing falls to the ground; 1t is ms
bunch of English violets-they lie in
the mud. For a moment he hesitates,
then he goes on his way-not daring
tn pick them up.

HON. JOHN n. STEELE,
Non-Partisan Candidate for Judge of
District Court, Minneapolis.
"A Judge is not placed in that high
position merely as a passive instru-
ment of parties. He has a duty of
his own Independent of them, and that
duty is to Investigate the truth
Edmund Burke. ~
Judge Steele ACTUALLY LIVES
UP TO THAT! ft5g
The necessary qualifications of a
judge are, Ito hear courteOusly, to
answer wisely, to consider soberly,
and to decide impartially." p -.
Judge Steele is possessed of all of
the above mentioned qualifications:
and more, he is a REAL GENTLE
MAN! -.
1t is almost unnecessary to draw the
attention of the voters to the candi-
dacy of Judge John H. Steele for elec-
ton to the District Bench, which posi-
ton he has held since January, 1911.
His integrity in unquestioned. His
record speaks for itself. He is So
years old; was admitted to practice
law in Illinois in 1883, but in 1884
came to Minneapolis where he has
continually practiced law with the ex-
ception of the four years that he
served on the Probate Bench. His
popularity among all classes was
shown by the exceptionally large vote
he received at the primary election,
leading the ticket by large majority.
He has always taken an active inter-
est in all public questions. In decid-
ing any question before him, "justice
tempered with mercy" has always
been his motto.
He not only appreciates your vote;
he deserves it! And, he will continue
to deserve both your vote and your
respect. He is your friend, my friend;
OUR FRIEND.
Vote for John n. Steele; Jurist, and
by the grace of God, GENTLEMAN!

NAMES REPORT
AT FEDERATION
WOMEN'S CLUBS
Made by Mrs. F. P. Abbott of
Saco Before BieniaI
Of Organization

Maine club women will read with
interest brief report which the
president of the Maine State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, Mrs. F. P.
Abbott of Saco, gave before the Bien-
NAL of the General Federation of
Womens Clubs recently closed in
Chicago.
In short, Mrs. Abbotts report was
this:
The Maine Federation of Womens
clubs Incorporated, begs to report the
celebration of its 21st birthday, at
Lewiston, in September, 1918 Five
Past Presidents took part in the spe-
cial program. reviewing the past and
looking into the future. Of special
interest was the story of its early
days, given by the founder of the
federation, Mrs. George c. Frye of
Portland. Much pleasure was taken
in the cordial letters of greetings and
congratulations sent by Mrs. Penny
hacker. president of the General Fed
Grafton and many State presidents.
Having attained majority, in the
pride and dignity of full womanhood.
with clearer vision and deeper faith.
we have consecrated ourselves anew
to our work, not only in our own
State, but in the broader fields of ac-
tivity.
We may report no flashes struck
from midnights," but steadily in
creasing interest and efficiency. We
have 142 clubs with a membership of
approximately 5000. Several applica-
tons for membership await our next
meeting.
Our committees corresponding with
those of the General are strongly or
ganized and doing excellent work
along their various lines. The out
| look was never brighter.
A mighty wave of civic pride has
swept our State. Clean up and paint
up days are being vigorously prose-
cuted. Unsightly dumps are no long
er taken for granted, but have re-
| ceived due notice. The clubs of one
town have undertaken the task of
Transforming one particularly OBJ
noxious dump into a park by having
it covered with loan and planted
with native trees and shrubs.
The Develop Maine Movement,
organized by number of Jealous,
public spirited men, graciously made
our president one of their vice-presi-
dents, and placed number of our
prominent club women upon its adj
visory committee. This affiliation al
ready promises good results. 1t has
| awakened a spirit of CO. operation so
necessary to great achievements.

The Money Spent Probing
C0Ok-Peary Case Would
Do Wonders Booming Me.

Congress has been asked to investi-
gate the merits Of the controversy
which arose between Admiral Robert
z. Peary and Dr. Cook when the North
pole was discovered. This will cost
considerable money, If the investiga-
ton is ever held and will not change
the minds of many people on the
main point. Representative Smith of
New York. who presented the resolu-
ton, said:
while I hold no brief for either
party I believe in fairness to both I
thing Cook should have MS day in
court"
Tho amount of money this investiga-
ton will cost, If spent in investigating
the natural resources of Maine and
publishing the reports broadcast would
so startle the commercial world that
we would soon have a stampede of
prospective investors and developers
on our hands. People who have in
vestigated to any extent at all declare
that Maine has the goods" 1t re-
mains for the rest of the world to be
told about them.
Congressman Smith thinks that DR..
Cook should have his day In court"
and most men will agree, but Maine
hasn't had her day in court" since
the days of 1905 to 1920. She has been
laughed at and lied about until few
have the face to speak a good word
for her. Her day IN court" is COM
ing, however and when 1t comes she
will have a story to tell.
The Develop Maine Movement will
make it possible to tell the whole of
that story and tell it WELL 1t is the
one state wide organization that can
and will perform that work. Every
citizen should be a member. 1t is a
privilege that comes cheap, costing
only a dollar year But the dollar
isn't the only thing. Every member
is expected to be a booster.
IF the people of Maine would talk
Maine, preach Maine and pray Maine
as the people OF California do Califor-
mia, we would fill Maine so full Of
summer people that there would not be
hotel rooms enough in the State to hold
then," said the Rev. j. H. Higgins of
Charleston on his return from Califor-
MIA. The Develop Maine Movement is
composed of boosters organized to ac-
complish this result. Send your dol
lar to w. E. Lawry, Treas. Augusta,
Maine.
