is prudent thrift. and this may be in no way
better exemplified than in the school building

THE MUSIC OF THE SHAMROCK
Kate Masterson In JudEe.

Kate Masterson In Judge.
The shamrock green-it grew. maybe,
Beside the Shannon springing,
Or blossomed by the River Lee.
Where Shandon's bells are ringing
That grand, melodic, throbblns peal
Through Irish dell and forest.
Imprinted by no tyrant heel
Tagged bv a city florist.
And how the music fills the air
Those days Of Kerry dancingl
When fiddles' Groom and pipers' flare
Set colleens' feet a-glancing!
Kathleen Mavourneen's serenade-
Sad that true hearts must sever
The hunters horn-the gray mists fade
Goodbye-perhaps foreveri
The harp that once--so silent now.
Oh, strike a gayer measure
The Pretty Girl that MIXED the COW,
Or Peggy's low-backed leisure;
The spot where angels stop 20 rest.
Beyond the stone of Barney
White wings EMBODIED on each breast
Killarney, oh, Killarney
'Tis gone! The shamrock's voice Is still
Its leaves, so soft and glowing,
Shine out across the window sill
Old Ireland's color showing.
With dew's soft flash and suns gay CLEAN,
A happy message bringing;
And for a moment in my dream
