I Big Gun Rejected Here?


Touching the German long distance

chief ordnance officer for thes Eastern
Department, is quoted as holding it
unbelievable that the Germans had
perfected a gun WATCH could shoot
seventy miles, Hudson Maxim, the in

the idea, and weapon could be cod-

We regret this difference of opinion
between the ordnance expert and the

statement Of J. Ed. Sheriff, one of the

A leolnd Of the Easter Lily.

The aisle in velvet darkness lay,
The pews in shadow slept,
Tho rows of gided organ pipes
Majestic silence kept.
Through painted panes moonbeAm

Along the altar-raif
And showed upon the steps a group
or kneeling angels pale.
Each swung a censor as she prayed,
An alabaster cup,
Star-shaped and lined with purest gold
With fragrance trimming up.
And as she swayed II to and fro:
Behold The chilly gloom
Grew soft with airs of Paradise,
And heavy with perfume.
A sound disturbed the seraph band,
They vanished i'm the night:
But one forgot and left behind
Her censor. pearly-white.
So when the worshippers arrived,
The church was dim and Silly,
But 10, upon the altar-steps
They found an Easter lily.

THE EASTER GARDEN

There is a spot of earth, how dear
To all the weary minds of men;
A spot that lies within their hearts
Where once. each year, they enter in.
1t is a garden, o how fair!
Where beautiful the lilies grow!
Near to Jerusalem of old
Where winds from out the sunrise blow.
Within that spot there is tomb
That rises in the garden close:
The heavy doors stand open wide
1t holds the scent of myrrh and rose
1t holds the Hopes of all the world
Though it's great door is opened wide.
For once was laid within this tomb
The Body Of the Crucihed
The sorrowing hearts OF all the world
Will meet within this garden fair:
1t holds unnumbered souls of earth
Burdened with untold pain and care.
Like Mary they behold the Christ
And Master" cry as he draws near:
Forevey risen is the Lord!
The Christ feels every falling tear!
Blow. winds Of love. across this spot!
Bloom. golden hearted lilies bloom!
Thy fragrance watt across the world
Fill all the air--each heart and room!
Let all the beauty of the day
Upon earth's weary soldiers rest! Il
risen Christ! be near to them
Give them the shelter of thy breast!
