In Loving Remembrance Of Little Virginia
RawlinSou.


The little crib is empty now,
The little clothes laid by,
A mothers hope, a fathers JOY
10 deaths cold arm doth lie.
Go little pilgrim, t, thy home
On Wonder blis,ful shore,
We miss thee here but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
Those little lips so sweet to kiss
Are closed foIager now,
Those sparkling eyes that shone 50
bright
Beneath that pearly brow.
That little heart that beat so high,
Free from all care and gloon,
Are hidden now from those she loved,
Beneath the silent tomb.
Dear little hands ] miss them So,
All through the day wnere ever l go.
All through the night how lonely il
seems.
For no little hands wake me out OF N,
dreams
I miss them all through the weary hours
I miss them as Others do SUNSHINE aad
hewerS,
DAYTIME or nighttime wherever @,
Dear little hands I miss them so.
We had little treasure once,
She was our JOY and pride:
We loved her. ah perhaps loo well,
For soon she slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one W. loved so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with him who gave,
Another little darling
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more aogel child
Amidst His shining band,
And 50 he bent with loving smile
And claSped our darling's hand.
Darlington Virginsia she has left US,
Left US, yes forever more.
But we hope TO meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.
Mother and Father.

Mighty Power of Love.

Love is the publication Of the heart
from self; it strengthens and ennobles
the character; gives higher motive
and nobier aim to every action OF life,
and makes both man and woman
strong, noble. and courageous. The
power to love truly and devctedly is
the noblest gift with which human
being csn be endowed; but 1t is a
sacred fire that must not be burned to
idols.-MIiss Jewsbury.

An Irish Name.

Francis Sullivan tighe, the author
Of THE Portion Of a Champion
(Scribner), the romance of pagan Ire
land, thus explains the peculiar way
In which he writes his name: The "o,'
he says, is not a contraction OF "of,
as popularity supposed. It is a corrup-
ton Of the Irish "ua," meaning the
descendant Of" Also the ''o' should
not be capitalized except when the
Christian name is omitted. The word
"tighe," following the name signifies
"of the house." and is the traditional
designation of the family, as distin-
guished from others Of the Sullivan
clan. In private life the author is just
plain Sullivan-Francis P. Sullivan
but to print it so on the title page OF
ffth-century Celtic romance would,
he holds, have been an anachronism.

GERMANY SEES no PEACE.
Berlin Says There is no Foundation
for Recent RumOrs.

Berlin, March %. -Rumors that
peace is imminent. coming principally
from the United States. have no fcun-
dation as far as Germany is concern
ed Responsible officials here ucny
that there is reason for any such rv-
pectatiOn.
RumorS are constantly currert in
Germany that peace negotiations ~
II tentative or Of definite sort ar,
proceeding in Switzerland or <"rc
other neutral country, but not ~ n
single instance so far has invcstiga
ton proved that thc>1- was any ground
for these reports.
1t cannot be denied however. tha,
certain factors in world affairs arc
continually putting out "feelers." and
occasionally peace talk becomes
reality in one or another bcl!igrr.nt
parliament.
Gcrmany's latest peace expression
made by Chancellor Won Bcthmann
HOllweg when the Reichstag convened.
stated that 1T that time Germany WAS
ready to negotiate for peace, but
could not do SO on terms of ruined
Germany. which seemed to be the aim
Of the allies.
There was much criticism Of the
chancellor at the time and especially
afterward, when the British press re-
presented Germany as weakening and
seeking settlement of the war. II
WAS resolved officially then that no
more official peace talk should cman-
ate from the central powers till the
entente had adopted reasonable at
titude and realized the futiIity of the
dream of destroying the German en-
pirc.
In the meantime military prepara-
tions have been going forward on the
basis Of war to last Indefinitely.
Some comment has been Occa stoned
IN Germany recently by the speech
cs in the house Of commons in which
it WAS suggested that England ought
to initiate Il peace movement and the
reply OF Mr.. Asquith. in which he
reiterated the statement that the
allies would never sheath the sword
till PruSsian miitaI.Sm had been de-
Stroyed.
Germany says it is futile to hope
for peace so long as England is guild
ed by rhetoric instead Of realities.

weapons are offered, one by one. to

WHAT IS YOUR WIFE WORTHY
Wisconsin Professor has Tried 60
Estimate ussrial Value IN
Dollars and Cents.

a Wisconsin professor OF home eco
Monies has made an exact estimate
Of what a wife is worth 20 her hus
band in dollars and cents. says the
indianapolis Star. u "a asserted that
she should be credited with earning
the difference between the cost OF raw
material and the finished product that
she turns out.
Just what this is he can learn by
estimating food items. for example,
by noting the difference between the
cost OF barrel of -four and the cost
OF bakers loaves made from the con.
tents of such a barrel A more direct
method. however. is by hiring house
keeper TO do the cooking and dress
making and other labors performed
by the wife. Unfortunately this Is
seldom done until the wife has gone
to heaven. so that she fails TO bene.
fit by the husbands discovery.
There is reason to believe. however.
that no wife who holds herself In
due respect will accept this socalled
stlt0tfuC tctiuf0to Va btt saftt W th>'
family. She knows very well that she
is worth more in actual money than
the difference between the raw mate
rails and the finished products and
that IL she were paid what she really
earns, her compensation would include
that of teacher. nurse, seamstress
laundress. cook. housemaid and gen
eral utility person.
or course. few husbands can AFFORD
to put the services OF their wives on
this purely commercial basis, and un'
fortunately, few wives have any
thought of demanding 1t. The most of
them, there is reason to believe. are
entirely satisfied when they are sure
that their husbands like him of whom
Solomon wrote, value them far above
rubies--so far that no thought OF
gross commercialism Is involved.
