900 cases at the outside are in first

and turning his coat wrong side out
and then crawled through the window
into the room of two girl acquaintan-

he would visit the city during next
summer in regard to the work, but
would not be longer permanently

would be appointed for the industry.

HELP THE
RED CROSS

written for the Gardiner Re-
porter-Journal, November, 1907
Ye who sleep peacefully
In quiet homes.
Where no disaster broods,
No terror comes,
Against the hour of doom,
The day of loss,
Now in this Christmas tide,
Help the Red Cross!
Ye who tread joyously
Through flowery ways,
Laughter and song to fill
The long bright days,
For those on beds of pain
Who moan and toss,
Now. In this Christmas tide,
Help the Red Cross!
Beggar and priest and king,
For all alike
In the appointed hour
Gods clock doth strike,
Round the world, DER the sea.
Join hands across,
Now, when Christ comes to We,
Help the Red Crossl
