BURNING QUESTIONS.

How shall they hear, in lands afar,
Above the din and roar OF war,
Above the clash of arms, the scream
of shells,
The ringing of the Christmas Bells?
How shall they see, midst wars black
night,
The star that sheds the Christmas
light;
How shall they see, Light o Christ
mas Day
Who meath those sodden ridges lay?
How shall they know the Christmas
cheer,
Whose homes are ruins and all they
held as dear,
Is swept by ruthless war away,
Or buried where its mangled victims
lay;
How shall they whose hearts with
grief are still,
Receive Gods Message Of ITO men
good will;
Or know the joy Of "Peace on Earth,
Where only loss and ruin have birth ?
Black ruins, hearts filled with name
less fears,
Shattered temples, want, woe, starv-
ing children's tears,
Before high Heaven these burning
questions ask,
To answer, Ye men who rule, God
gives you the task.

NEAR POETRY
By the Printers Devil.

There was an old geezer and he had
some head; he hadn't any money, but
a nerve instead; he borrowed ten dol
lars and an old hand press and he
started paper called the Weekly
Guess.
Twas a very queer name / will ad-
nit, but the paper that he published
it sure did fit, for it kept him guessin'
and sawin' wood to get out weekly
as a Weekly should.
Some weeks he missed but more he
hit, this game old rooster he wouldn't
quit, and he always managed to get
few bits to keep his family in their
daily grit.
He praised his friends and he skin
ned his foes and he drew free passes
to the vaudeville shows. He kept 'em
all readin' his newsy sheet, though his
best pair of trousers had a re-inforc-
ed seat.
And when at last kindly fate sent
him knocking at st. Peters gate, they
invited him to come inside and be
editor-in- of the Heavenly Guide.

TIPPERARY.

(At the other end of the long, long
way,)
Who is it stands at the full o.
the door?
Mary O'Fay, Mother O'Fay,
An what is she watching an
waiting for?
Och, none but her soul can say.
There's a list, in the postoffice long
an black,
With tidings bad, and woeful sad;
The names of the boys who'll ne'er
come back,
An one is her darling lad.
We showed her the list; but she can
not read,
So we told her true, yes, we told
her true,
Her old eyes stared till they'd almost
bleed,
An she swore that none of us
knew.
She's waiting now for Father McCole,
Till he goes her way at the noon
of day,
She's simperin white-the poor old
For she knows what the priest'll
say.
Who is it sprawls upon the sod
At the break O. day? It's Mickey
O'Fay;
His eyes glare up to the wall Of God,
And half of his head is blown
away.
What is he doing in that strange
place,
Torn and shred, and murdered
dead?
He's singin' the psalm of the fighting
race
. AS his soul scars wide DER head.
He killed three men before he fell
(Och, the toll he'd take and the
skulls he'd breakD
And he shrieked like soul escaped
from hell
AS he bled for the Sassenach's
sake.
Who shall we blame for the awful
thing,
For the blood that flows and the
heartbreaking woes?
Kaiser or Gar, statesman or King?
Och, leave it to Him who knows.

Chant me a rime of Christmas,

Chant me rlme OF Christmas,
Sing me a jovial song,
And, though it is filled with laughter,
Let it be pure and strong.
Sing of the hearts brimmed over
With the story of the day,
Of the echo of childish voices
That will not die away.
Of the blare of the tassled bugle
And the timeless clatter and
beat
Of the drum that calls to muster
Squadrons Of scampering feet.
But, oh, let your voice fall fainter
Till, blent with a minor tone,
You temper your song with the beauty
Of the pity Christ hath shown.
And sing one verse for the voiceless
And yet, ere the song be done,
A verse for. the ears that hear not
And verse for the sightless one.
For, though it be time for singing
A merry Christmas glee,
Let low, sweet voice of pathos
Run through the melody.
