In Gods Garden

To My Mother
The Master walked in His garden
fair,
By its paths of purest gold,
With it's marvellous gates of gleam-
ing pearl,
And its miracles manifold.
With tender eyes, He looked upon
The souls that His blood had
bought,
That numberless host, in robes of
white,
Wonders His love had wrought.
But with yearning heart, He paused
beside
A beautiful, "Place prepared"
For child of His love, whose blame
less life
His joy and His cross had shared.
Then He turned to the Angels about
the throne
And said "You will go with me
For this child beloved, who is pass
ing now
To her crown, through her Calvary
Then a wonderful light and whir
of wings
Ger the echoless, silent sea
And spirit passed into the Savoiur's
arms
To the shores of Eternity.
She sleeps not here, this ransomed
soul,
Meath the earth's cool, peaceful
Her beautiful blouse not made with
hands"
Is safe in the garden of God.

It need hardly be said. by the governing
circles Of Sofia and Constantinople and
will shortly be given fresh emphasis by
a visit to Germany Of a highly placed
personage from the dual monarchy.
"More unbroken and more firmly we
stand on all fronts and more conscious
do we feel of our power to resist to the
end: better are we able with head erect
to offer our enemies peace worth for
all parties the immense sacrifices they
have made in this war.
"Should our enemies now show them
selves unwilling to grasp this oppor-
tunity for preparing to end the blood
shed and for restoring peace to the
peoples Of Europe. they will act on their
own responsibility. We are prepared to
continue to hold out. On that there is
only one opinion in our quadrupie al
lance"

SPRINGFIELD VOTES DRY.
Illinois Capital Banishes Saloons With
Aid of Women's Votes.

Springfield, Ill, April 4.-lhe Anu
Saloon League of Illinois won the
greatest victory In It's history yester-
day when 1t swept the saloons out OF
this city.
In total vote Of about 10000 the
ito close" sign figuratively was
nailed to the doors Of 104 saloons, an
unofficial majority Of 45s. The union
labor vote did much to help the dry
cause.
Heretofore Rockford was the largest
dry city in Illinois, but Springfield
now will take that honor. The capi-
tai ~of the state exceeds Rockford In
population by 1000.
Three years ago, in the last previ-
Gus fight between the wet and dry
forces, the wet won by about 5000, a
majority Of the women voters at that
time siding with the saloons. Yesterday
majority Of the women voted dry,
while the reverse was true OF the men.
