WILL THE LIGHT BE WHITE?
'Oft. when | feel my engine sWerve,
As Ger strange rails we fare,
strain my eyes around the curve
For what awaits us there.
When swift and free she carries me-
Through yards unknown at night
| look along the line to see
That all the lamps are white
.The blue light marks the crippled
car.
The green light signals slow;
The red light is danger light'
The white light, let her go.
Again the open fields we roam
And when the night is fair
look up in the starry dome
And wonder what is there
"For who can speak of those who
dwell
Behind the curving sky?
No man has ever lived to tell
lust what it means to die
cwift toward life's terminal | tread,
The run seems short tonight,
God only knows what's at the END
hone the lamps are all right
And the next move the B. OF K. T.
makes
All the crew be white

GENIUS KEPT IN HARNESS
Writer Interestingly Describes Condi-
ton of American Literature Just
Before Civil War.

George Santayana in the New Re-
public writes of the stiffness of
American literature before the Civil
war: 1T would have been an inter
esting thing if thunderclap had sud-
denly broken that cloudless new-world
haying-weather, and if cry of eXas-
peration had escaped some strong
soul, surfeited by the emptiness and
blandness of that prim little moral
circle that thought it had overcome
everything, when in fact it had touched
nothing. But to the genteel mind OF
America, before Walt Whitman and
the Civil war, there was no self-re-
specting opposition. OF course, in that
boundless field of convention, prosper
ity and mediocrity any wild poppy
might struggle up weedily here and
there amid the serried corn. But the
irregular genius had no chance. He
felt sincerely ashamed of himself He
hid his independence, fed to the back
woods or to Europe, and his sad case
was hushed up as if it had been in
sanity (for insanity was hushed up
too) and buried with a whisper under
the vaguely terrible epitaph dissipated.
He probably died young; at any rate
he never did anything. Whoever
was embarrassed was lost

II was not especially interested, not

Borke had not only been with the Con-
federate general for three years, but
he was in the thick of it and had
written story that was intensely in

was of such technical and tactical
value as to warrant the unusual posi-.
tion accorded it by German military
authorities.

Heroic French Priests.

A French lieutenant, the cure Of a
small village in Champagne, has just
been mentioned in the orders CT the
day for the brilliant manner in which
he led a bayonet charge. The colonel
OF the regiment has made special re
port on the priests valor. 1T is a pity
We cannot keep him in the army after
the war is over" he says.
Questioned on the suggestion that
he should remain a soldier, the priest
declared, If perform with Joy my
duty as a soldier, DO not forget that
my dear little parish will need me
when the war is over. In February

A phone message from, Mrs.

says every provision possible has
been made. Officials of the Home

According to the rules of the
Home, the application of Mrs.
Whitaker will have to be consid-
cred at three consecutive meetings
of the Board, after which, if ac-
cepted, she may enter. Should
same be considered favorably her
application will be finally passed
upon by August 1st.
"A Friend" who used our Peo-

to this in the beginning wishes to
express appreciation for the kind
ness shown in the practical re-
