Memory Awakes

What care for the war or who may lose!
Thank God that / am old and these dim
eyes
Long since wept dry. Fear In her hideous
guise
No more can haunt my pillow till the long
night flies.
Whispering her dreadful tale
What is't to me that others sons must
go?
My share is paid in three mounds side by
side.
And | live on. who gladly would have
died.
With naught to lose, whateer may now
betide--
Whether it's win or fail.
Women may lie with open eyes till the
faint dawn
Thinking of lips that babble feebly to a
darkening sky
Gray hands that clutch a water flask long
since run dry
OF husbands. lovers. sons-but not SO l.
On dreamless seas I sail.
Prate not to me Of war! I've had my fill
OF death and sacrifice and bitter tears.
Yon marching feet and blaring music In
my ears
But rend apart my graves. now green

Make Time Past drop it's veil.

There is Q great deal to be said In
favor Of the protracted heat Of the
lorg-eumrered climates. One ought
70 reflect that ali the civilizations of
antiquity flourished In tropical or sub
tropical regions. Egypt, Assyria,
Greece, Italy were countries where
an unprecedented culture was attained
without the aid of artificial heating;
the sun warmed them in summer and
the people bore their chilblains as
we'll as they could in winter, without
RENTING their exertions for an In
tellectual and artistic uplift. Their
moral and religious condition left
something to be desired, but with the
universal spread of ethical culture the
lapse to any such condition in our
time is scarcely to be feared for civil
lization in the hot countries OF the
western hemisphere. Our aborigines,
especially our prehistoric aborigines,
instinctively wrought on the lines OF
antique empire and grew more aid

PERFUMED AIR IN A HOTEL
About the Limit Even In This Ass
That 10 unrivaIed In Its
Luxury.

The ultra" of scientific hotel &C
commodations has reached Los An
geles. Soon guests OF the Hotel Alex
andria will not breathe the ordinary
air which circulates the highways and
byways.
No. indeed. monsieur and madame
must be made comfortable; therefore,
the dining salons and foyers of this
hotel will be equipped with perfumed
air.
And to make this innovation in the
hotel business even more complete
the ordors which reach the nostrils
of Alexandria guests will vary with
the seasons.
For instance, according to Manager
S. ]. Whitmore, spring will announce
itself to the city dweller who never
visits the byways by delicate aroma
of violet: little later the scent will
change. and the delicate "parfum" OF
the orange blossom will be de riguer
With autumn will come the Indian
summery fragrance of pine needles
the virgin forest. With winter. be
cause this is southern California
roses.
Exhaust fans which pump in COO
air through a rainstorm of scented
waters will make this possible. AL
grill and the banquet hall invisible
supply fans will constantly keep 8
new current of perfumed air in circu'
lation among the diners and loungers.
Should monsieur wish to give lit
tie dinner in a private dining-room
and have a fancy for the scent of Law
ender. then it will be supplied TO him
throughout the meal.
1T is our object" said Mr.. Whit
more, ito give our guests the most
attractive environment. After care
full consideration We find that the per
fumed air for our dining-rooms will
be pleasing touch for all those who
wish to enjoy it. The only danger
OF course. would be in OVERRIDING the
thing. None would want to take q
meal in a salon saturated with the
odor of orange blossoms, for exam
pie. Our tinctures are TO be delicate
however. The perfumes will give q
natural aroma; no more."-Los An

The news of Uncle Wills death was
q great shock to me. l read it in the
morning papers. He was among the
killed in the accident on the Pacinc

left the tracks while travelling along
the bank of the JUDY river in Colo
rado, and FIVE cars had plunged be
meath the swirling torrent There
was no possibility of rescuing any
one; the death of all the occupants
had been immediate.
Uncle Will must have had pre-
sentiment of his death, because, an
hour before leaving his office on the
way west, where he had to attend
conference on some one of those ma
tional movements in which he was
always interested. He had dictated
a new will to his stenographer, Miss
Clarke. Miss Clarke had typewriter
