high
The temple Of my soul, q secret shrine

Upon Its altar lighted fame divine
Borne high above the world on hallow wed
wing
built my temple with q magic might;
l nlled It with the song the angels sing
Then closed its portals on a mystic
night.
Ny temple stands aloft so fine. so pure,
That never may / hope to come again
To Its high altar-tortured. must endure
vision splendid I may not attain.
Here must stand remote and raise my

To that far shrine that never may be
won.
My temple, that built against the

Print cloths and convertibles are ruling steady with trade moderate. Finishers. dyers and bleachers are more active. There is a slowly increasing movement in fine and fancy cottons for spring and sum mer distribution and new fall lines are being shown. Jobbers have left the pri- mary markets and are now operating at their home stations on many lines they were not prepared tos buy when they were here. This makes the mail bust ness very steady. The total business pooheu III January was the pest that mas been done la any month since early last spring, and mills as a whole are better employed.
