THE LrrrLE wHITE HEARsE.

Somebody's baby was buried today;
The empty, white hearse from the
grave rumbled back,
And the morning, somehow, seemed
less smiling and gay,
AS 1 paused on the walk while it
crossed on its way,
And a shadow seemed drawn Ger the
suns golden track.
Somebody's baby was laid out to rest,
White as a snowdrop and fair to
behold,
And the soft little hands were crossed
over the breast,
And the hands and the lips and the
eye-lids were pressed
With kisses as hot as the eyelids were
cold.
Somebody saw it go out of her sight
Under the coffin-lid, out of the door,
Somebody finds only darkness and
blight
All thro' the glory of summer sun
light
Some one whose baby viii waken
no more.
Somebody's sorrow is making me
weep,
/ know not her name, but I echo her
cry,
For the dearly-bought baby she long
ed so to keep,
The baby that rode to its long, last
ing sleep,
In the little white hearse that went
rumbling by.
/ know not her name, but her sorrow
I know
While | paused on that crossing
lived it once more
And back to my heart surged tina
river of woe
That but in the breast of a mothe.
can flow
For the little white hearse has beer
too, at my door.

rests Magazine.

RECORD OF DODGE
BROS. REMARKABLE

Dodge Bros. Detroit. have just com.
pleted their fret year as manufactur-
ers of motor cars and the record estab.
lished is unique even in this amazing
industry.
The first completed car rolled out of
the plant in December. 1914. and actual
shipments started in January, 1915.
With the close of the first year Dodge
Brothers merely state that the public
has bought more than $35, 900, 600
worth" of their cars. Nothing is said
of production plans for next year. but
the announcement is made that the de-
mand, which has always been ahead of
production, remains unsatisfied.
The record made in the first year is
the talk of motor car circles. Before
beginning the manufacture of a car
bearing their own name, Dodge Broth
ers were well known in the trade as
large makers of automobile parts. But
no one anticipated when it was an.
nounced that they would bring out q
car that within a year they would jump
among the first six companies in the
country in the production of cars. But
such is the fact and the career OF
Dodge Brothers is sure to be carefully
watched by both the trade and the pub.
