ToDAY's POEM
FROM BARREN DARKNESS.

 FROM BARREN DARKNESS. Great wealth of immemoriaI sunlight poured On tall Rrimeval palm and ancient fern; Dim ages long with bones of mammoth Dark fathons underground. once more return! Dig. miners, deep in earth. where sleeps the coal, Wake it to breathe through .whir- ring dynamo That burning rnirth of light whose merry soul Laughs from subtly flaming tung- stems glow. Sing out, you lily flowers of the street. Mock, from your slender stems the stars aghast; Drop joy upon the slow and weary feet
 Of home returning workers snuf- fling past. To drooping lips the happy smile restore, As sunshine flowers from purple tonbs of night. Let the black hoards of earth bring forth once more From barren darkness blooming boughs of light.

PREF ERRED ANOTHER.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 2 kept a girls company three years. Lately we separated. She preferred another In a jest she said: If we were ever going together it was time ? I had glad hope to go to see her Sun day But she wrote me she would not be home. To come to a certain place I arrived there early. There she was talking to the rival I like her What had best do to please?
 L.T If you do not dance attendance upon her, at her beck and call, after she has disappointed you often, she would rec ognize that there were other girls. wor- thy and lovable, you can get. Patience ceases to become a virtue when often wrongly treated.

 It's a very vital part
 There Is nothing that is more in teresting to men, in the course of con versation, than to listen to the ways in which many of the working g1fls have advanced themselves, unaided. If she has a lover, how to pass the time with him, making the hour lively instead of regretting the time passed, is a subject which is not apt to enter the pretty head of the average slngle girl.
 1t Is a matter of considerable mo- ment to the young man whose position is not very lucrative whether he seeks the company of sensible working girl to share his summer jaunts or O girl of high notions, in her confortapte home, who expects her escort to dance attendance upon her and spend his money for her every whfm in a reek- less fashion.
 Many high-sprrfted young men like to appear liberal when theX take a young woman on an outing. He is h luck if she is a prudent companion, who does not crave too much. And greatly to be pitied is he if. she is sell fish, extravagant and puts him out all she can.
 If he invites a lady-like. interesting working girl for an afternoons stroll at seaside or inland resort, she real izes that. with his limited means she must, before leaving her home, eat a hearty enough lunch to last her till sundown She is different from her stylish sisters who imagine that they are hungry half an hour after reach ing the pleasure grounds and as they pass iby inns Another lunch they will accept with a smile a little later His heart sinks, as well 1t may, when his extravagant companion selects the costliest viands on the bill of fare.
 The young woman of this type is in the habit of getting thirsty, too. He has to go down in his pocket flor quar- ters every half hour for ice cream sodas and lemonade. She wants all the pleasures going; rides on e~F,er- ris wheel. on the- merry-go-rounds,t chutes, elevators, etc. Eagerly she ners where he is solicited by popcorn, peanuts candies of the vendors. She may tell her neighbor girls what a ne time she has had, but the young man feels crestfallen, while in his hall sbed- room, under the hot caves, in a board- ing house, as he counts over his mea- ger pittance left him from his week. g pay envelope.
 The working girl 1oes not forget that young mans expenses are a certain amount a week. and as much flor clothing. laundry and carfare. As well, she advises him to lay by a little for a rainy day. The helpful working girl tries her best to reduce the amount which she should permit him to spend for her pleasure to as little as he can afford. They enjoy them selves here and there in the summer bloom and sunshine. They may miss treats and expenditures, but he will appreciate her with hopes of becoming nearer and dearer. Ere the winter evenings have come and gone the help ful girl has proven herself worthy Of. the engagement ring he places on her finger.

PART TO TEST LOVE

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am an 18-year-old girl; been going with a young man two years older a year. Think there's no one in the world like him. He says he cares for me. Do you suppose he does? As he makes promises meaning everything in the world to me, which he doesn't keep, which is much to me. If quit while will that test his love? I cannot bear the idea of parting. Please tell what to do.
 RH While parting to test love another may fill your place with him. Ask him to give no more broken promises. if you make up.

FLIRTING WITH GIRLS
 RETURNS HIS RING.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I anna young lady of IS, engaged to a young man of 20 My heart is in his keeping If with me he tells his love lis the same. If away he hirts with other girls. L would not care, in re gard to the girls, if he did not oppose my going with any young men. If I return his ring, tell him to not come any more, would I regret it, feeling did wrong? Only advise me
 Love is blind. Sometimes imagina- ton conJures up one loved as flirting. Do not return the ring without hav- ing a sensible talk with him. Both will understand better and act differ ent1y.

in the educational system Of Korea
were contemplated by the Japanese
government. General Terauchi, the
Japanese governors general Of Korea,
has submitted. tentative proposals
which, so far as the state department
knows. have not been accepted.
The department advices indicate the
changes proposed look primarily to the
complete separation Of education and
religion the public school system OF
the United States being the model
studied. It was not understood that
the prohibition Of religious teaching in
mission schools was contemplated, or
that there was any attempt to differ
entiate between religions.

LIQUOR SHIPMENTS LEGAL.
Booze For Personal Consumption Not
Prohibited by Kenyon Law.


Washington, June 15.-By a decision
involving the Webb Kenyon law yes
terday the supreme court Of the United
States paved the way for the reopen
ing OF the struggle in congress to pre-
vent the Interstate shipment of intox-
icating liquor.
The court held that the shipment OF
liquor to person in dry territory for
his Individual consumption was not
violation OF the Webb Kenyon law.
The drys have held that the law was
intended to prevent the shipment OF
liquor into dry territory. irrespective
OF the purpose for which 1t was IN.
tended. either for sale or personal con-
sumption.
Undoubtedly the effect OF the de-
cision yesterday will make the pro-
hibitionists more active In their ef-
forts to obtain national prohibition
and less active in pushing propaganda
for state wide prohibition.
The courts decision was that the
Webb Kenyon law designed to pro-
hibit interstate shipments OF liquor
into dry territory does not apply to
such shipments unless the state into
which the shipment is made has a law
making 1t crime for a person to drink
liquor or to have 1t in his possession.
Few states have such laws
The Adams Express Company was
convicted Of violating a state law OF
Kentucky. The liquor in the case was
imported into kentucky from Tennes-
see. The conviction was under state
law which made It unlawful for any
carrier to import liquor into any sub
division OF the state, which Is dry

Advance Agent Emulate Bryan. i
Philadelphia, June 1S.-Bentley Ack-
ley, who became eswidely known as Billy
Sundays right hand man. secretarv
ana PIANIST, AZ the recent revival here,
has resigned from the Sunday forces.
He gave al his reason that other mem
bers OF the organization. less deserv-
ing than he. RECEIVED vast profits. IN
one casee eaggregating $4,000 from the
writing and publication Ufs hymns. the
sale Of hymn 'baSkS and the dtsross-
tson OF other. p4iSfleges connected with
tho revivals.
mmediately following the announce
ment Of Ackley's resignation it was
learned that the Rev. 2. ". Emett.
Sundays confidential advance agent,
had also severed his connection with
the evangelist's encourage. The ad-
vance man, it was said, was summarily
released by Sundays son. George. at
the close of the Paterson campaign. the
grounds given then that ''he was too
independent"
From certain other sources 1t was
cleaned that Ackley and Emett may
not be the only Sunday paid workers
and 1t is almost certainty that the
departure of these two, who were high
ly important cogs in the evangelistic
machine. will mean the eventual dis
ruption Of the entire party. Since his
return from a western trip following
the revival in Paterson Ackley has
been much in the company OF Fenley.
Interesting disclosures are promised
by Ackley concerning the inside work
ings of the Billy Sunday system Ack-
ley declares that many things he had
to put UP with during the eight years
he served as pianist and secretary
"got on my nerves" But his sorest
point lies in the way the financial con-
cessions Of the campaign were as
tributed.
Ackley names Homer A. Rodeheaver
choirmaster, and Fred Seibert. taber-
nacle caretaker. as being the recipients
OF all the plums.

nothing less than an understanding
between Germany and England con-
cerning the forms of maritime war
fare which, at the same time. will in
sure the safety Of American passen-
gers. The task can be solved If all
interests display good will"
A new form might be given to naval
warfare Herr Zimmerman continues,
on the basis that passengers on ships
with special marks Of identification
and sailing under the government
guarantee that they are unarmed
should receive proper consideration at
the hands OF submarine commanders.
The compromise must also involve the
withdrawal Of the British admiralty 8
instructions to merchantmen to attack
and ram submarines on sight.
The article ventures to indicate for
the first time to the German public
that there may be a second side to the
question Of arms on which the press
has been for months harping. Herr
Zimmerman pays his respects to what
he terms typewriter heroes, who. far
from the front, are preaching war to
the knife against everybody.

blood and iron,- he concludes. but
Just because we are fearless and de-
termined we may look for possible
ways by which to arrive at an UNDER
