Freedom

Slow are the steps of Freedom, but her feet
Turn never backward, hers ne bloody glare,
Her light is calm and innocent and sweet,
And where it enters there is no dspair.
Not first on palace and cathedral spire
Quivers and CLEANS that unconsuming tre.
While these stand back against her morning
skies,
The peasant sees it leap from peakAo peak
Along his hills. The craftsmAn's burning
eyes
Own with cool tears its influence mother
meek.
1t lights the poets heart up like star.

An Arab Welcome

Because thou com'st weary guest,
Unto my tent bid thee rest.
This cruse OF oil, this skin of wine,
These tamarinds and dates are thine
And, while thou eatest, Medjid, there,
Shall Oathe the heated nostrils of thy
mare,
Illah il Allah! Even so
An Arab chieftain treats foe,
Holds him as one without fault
Who breaks his bread and tastes his salt
And in fair battle strikes him dead
With the same pleasure that he gives hin
bread.-Er.

Breaking the Road

One man with the breath of runner cries
OUT for the untrod road.
The siedges and men are gathered and the
dogs shall carry the load.
The whips are cracked and the lashings Sc,
forward the eager pack,
But only the one who drives them IS aised
when they bring him back.
All, forgotten shall be the heroes who an
swer another's call.
They are servitors, dumb, if loyal, TO be
nothingness one and all.
But the roads cannot be broken except thru
the helping hands
" Of the nameless, unthanked toilels who
do but their lords commands.

| Remember! Remember


| Remember! Remember
remember. remher,
The house where was horn;
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
You'd hardly know the old place now,
For dad is up-to-date,
And the farm is scientific
From the back lot to the gate.
, The house and barn are lighted
With the brightest light I've seen,
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasoline.
We have silos, we have autos,
We have dynamos and things;
A telephone for gossip,
And photograph that sings.
The hired man has left us,
We miss his homely face:
A lot of college graduates
Are working in his place.
There's an engineer and fireman,
A chauffeur and vet,
Electrician and mechanic
On, the farms run right you bet.
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn
Now brightens up a bathroom
That cost a car of corn.
Our milkmaid is pneumatic
And she's sanitary, too;
But dad gets fifteen cents quart
For milk that once brough two

The Flight of Youth

There are gains for all our losses
There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream departs.
1t takes something from our hearts,
And il never comes again.
We are stronger and are better
Under manhood's sterner reign,
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.

THE LADY OF SHALOTT

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colors gay
She has heard a whisper say
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be
And SO she weaves steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.
And moving through mirror clear,
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot:
Where the river eddy whirls
And there the surIy churls
And the red cloaks of market girls,
Pass onward from Shalott.
Sometimes troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Some times curly shepherd lad,
Or long haired page in crimson clad,
Goes by toward Camelot;
And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two.
She hath no knight loyal and true.
The Lady of Shalott.

HOW TO SOLVE \
COAL PROBLEM

LONDON-Having passed through
the third winter of the war without
serious coal shortage, England is
today preparing for the coal season OF
l1917-1S.
The coal controller is planning an
elaborate organization for dealing
with the country's supply, the ques-
ton of labor, and of public economy.
| More than a quarter of a million
miners enlisted in the army during
the first two years and half APP
before the war; AS result the mining
industry was seriously weakened, and
the output of coal greatly diminished
National service will probably be
extended to cover this field of opera
lions during the summer and fall, but
the controller is going much deeper
into the question of supply and de-
mand. He is tracing the consign-
ments of coal from the pits to their
consumers, ascertaining how far the
fuel has to be transported, and how
it is taken from the various collieries
to the various consumers.
Further public economy in the mat
ter of fuel will be strongly urged on
the public before next winter, the
controller announced, and it may ev-
en- be necessary to introduce ccm-
pulsory measures.

CHARLES HAND PASSES AWAY
 IN VALDEZ
Chief Deputy Clerk and Well Known in Sev- eraI Alaskan Dis
 triCtS.

VALDEZ, Nov. 21. - Charles A. Hand, chief deputy clerk of the District Court at Valdez, died this morning at ? o'clock in the home of H. F. Suessdorf The end had been feared for several days by his inti- mate friends but came sooner than expected. He never recovered from surgical operation in September. Friends who called on him yester- day found him cheerful and able to talk as usual, though very weak. He sat up part of the time Late in the evening his mind wandered as he talked to Henry Suessdorf and shortly before midnight he fell into the sleep from which he never wakened
 Charles A. Hand was born in 1855 at Friedrichshafen, grand duchy of Baden, Germany on the northern shore of Lake Constance. He came to the United States in 1871. He was induced to come largely be- cause of privations to which his district was subjected in the Franco Prussian war, although it was Ger man. This made him all his life extremely hostile to Prussian Junk erdom.
 Arriving in America Mr Hand liv- ed a short time in Northern New York and then went to California, where he worked on the survey of the Southern Pacific in and around Los Angeles. He then worked on the Denver & Rio Grande when it was built through Utah and Colorado, in the early eighties From there he went to Idaho, where he lived until the Klondike stampede He was county assessor of Boise coun- ty, and was an executive clerk in the office of Frank Steunenburg of Idaho.
 In 1897 MT Hand went to Daw- son and in 1900 to Nome. He came to Valdez in 1902 and for ten years conducted a cafe. When the town was prosperous he prospered with it, but in the periodical dull times which all Alaska towns pass through he always lost money because he was too kind hearted to refuse credit to anybody. The unpaid ac- counts on his books would astonish the community by their total. On July 1, 1913 Mir. Hand be- came deputy clerk of the District Court and held the position until his death In that position he displayed the patient fidelity that marked ev- cry effort of his life. He knew ey- cry detail of the office. Through. out his life in Valdez he was con spicuops as philosophical citi. zen. liberal and charitable to a fault He was town assessor until he wearied of the job and declined reelection.
 Though one of the kindliest of men and devoted to his intimate friends. Mir Hand was secretive about his own affairs. Only few persons were in his confidence and they scarcely know enough details of his life to make a fitting biog- raphy. He was married twice. Two children of his first wife survives. daughter, Miss Helen Hand of In dianapolis, and a son Of 23 years old, who is understood to be in the Amaricau army in Franco
