The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-12-22

lie poem follows:
She was little flower of France
A winsome maid and innocent
A guileless soul looked out from eyes
Of tender blue-as smiling sweet
AS Gods heavenly skies.
She knew not Sorrow then
Oh gently, softly, as falls the dew,
The seasons one by
Had touched her brow, -
Unmarked by any line of grief or care.
Her footsteps led through pleasant paths
Those ne'er to be forgotten rose-strewn paths
Of Girhood's golden days.
She only child,
The idol of her little mere her proud and happy PEREZ
Her life with theirs so closely twined
She inseparabe
With them she shared thousand thoughts,
And sweet and tender dreams of youth,
Of Love- the conqueror of maidens heart.
At times in sweet pretense
She clasped them close,
Begging they hide her from too swift pursuit
Of that Imaginary One who snow
white steed
To claim the beloved maiden of his choice.
Oh little Flower of France,
Now sweet, how exquisite thy blooming!
With what joy of life
Thy heart of gold unfolding,
With what simple faith in God
Thy childish prayers arising! !
She was little Flower of France,
But now, alas o, God!
A little, trampled broken, bruised thing
Not dead-nay, nay, she prayed for Death;
Twas that Dread Terror, Monster grim,
Despoiler of pure women's souls.
The Devish Hum the Infamous Beast>
That crushed her innocence.
Not dead, nay, nay, she courted Death,
The Grave would offer sweet repose,
Not Death, but Death in Life;
o, Cod in mercy see
The stricken ewes the anpuiShed brow
- Sorrow enthroned bows low the tired head
And o, the burden, Cod
She bears across her breast
In arms that ache and droop with pain and WEAKNESS
1t is an unloved child, dear God, the Child of her
Despair
Oh. cruel. cruel. bitter blight,
Upon little Flower so fair!
And so she comes dear Cod
Back to her home in France.
With faltering feet, with tmid men,
She treads the paths of other days;
But, oh, her heart, her heart, is desolate!
Her home in ashes, ruins, laid
But mocks her tired hope,
They tell her pere and petite mere,
And those she loved dead.
She does not grieve, nay, noy it's best
She only feels the lack, the dearth of human love-
The love that her life encompassed,
No friend in all the world is left.
In mute appeal, more her prayers ascend;
That deathless faith in Cod
In hers despite the loss of all that life holds DEAR
She knows His love endureth to the end.
o, Thou Divine, Infinite, Compassionate Onel
Have mercy on us all.
If we should fail to grant her of our love,
Our tender pity in her bitter need
Our Charity-our Bread Of Life,
To answer her appeal.
Oh men Of Belgium, men of France,
Ye Dauntle5s and Unafraid
Oh Briton's valiant brave and Scotlands bonnie lads
Old Erins sons, Italia's stalwart band,
Canada's flower Of Youth, Americas boys beloved,
Men Of the seas, strong, so brave,
Oh all we Peerless Knights
In that Triumphant Cause of Right
Oh, Women, crowned with sacred, glorious mother
hoodl
Can you forget while life shall last
That bleeding, wounded broken heart
That little bowed head,
That mute appeal, that voiceless prayer,
OF one whose loved are dead?

the air chamber less than twenty
minutes somebody behind, but within
earshot OF O'Malley, gave utterance to
tho opinion that there WAS man
among them who had neglected to
register for the draft because of anti
British prejudices of long standing.
OMalley turned and saw Peransky
standing grinning at the Jester and the
Jest.
Fight for Twenty Minutes.
They had been fighting furiously for
twenty miputes when Policeman Dali
ton. summoned by foreman on the
earth's surface who had received a dis
tress signal from the earth's interior,
arrived and stopped the fighting with
a few we'll aimed blows of his club.
He had found the belligerents rolling on
the floor of the air chamber. while
their companions stood about terrified.
In fear apparently that the fighters
would do some damage to the walls of
the air chamber and be the death Of
all hands.
Dalton explained afterward that the
two men had reached that point of
separating them was not one to draw
heavily on the resources of trained
policeman.
Mr.. OMalley is undecided about re-
turning to subway work. He says that,
after a holiday especially. the high air
pressure Is apt to go to his head and
make him insensible to logic and logical
consequences.

editor and president of the marlborough,
Mr.. Shonts. taking pen in hand. released
for publication yesterday the following
explanation OF why the subways have
no, met the fullest expectations OF Al
eNacting public.
I'VE have available some ], 500 cars,
We have plenty OF power. but the DIFF
ficulty lies in our lack OF men. Out OF
$4,000 employees we lost about 1000
men TO the army and navy. and about
5000 OF our peop!e--all experienced men
have gone into war Industries and
munition plants. We have dole every
thing to All the places OF these men, we
have employed 500 women and are ad-
vertising vigorously for new employees.
But considering the service as whole
we are giving the people OF New York
very greatly improved service over what
they received at this time last year.
For example. on Wednesday nifty ex-
press trains passed Times Square and
Grand Central stations In one hour. Last
year on the same day the number PASS
ing Grand Central on the old subway
within the same hour was thirty-two."
