Tide O. the Year.


Bold is the wind and the leaves beat
down
CrumpIed and wrinkled and sere and
brown
Cold is the night; and the tall trees
quake,
Culver and SILVER and sorriIy shake ;
And the leaves seep down
Wrinkled and brown.
White is the night and the clouds
hang low.
Far are the stars and the snowfakes
blow,
Shrouding the trees that drearily file
Crashing and gaunt down the forest
aisle;
And the leaves lie low
Under the snow.
Out of the reek of the sodden heap,
Up through the roots of the trees
asleep
Surges and riots and flames breath,
Soul of the Spring that shall rise
from death
With the leaf-buds sheen
Swelling fair and green
Buried deep meath a pail of snow
SAUNDERS Hope that yet shall know
Perfect ulfillment-sunlit hours
Vocal with birds songs, sweet with
flowers,
When the leaves begin
Their hymn to Spring.

Closing Episode of Neglected Wife"
Serial at Strand Theatre
The fifteenth and last episode of
''Tbe Neglected Wife" is entitled ga
Sacrifice Supreme" and like the other
episodes of the serial is based upon
the famous books of Maber Herbert
Urner.
Mary determined that she must
save Kennedy's career, starts home.
Doyle having learned that Kennedy is
IN search of Margaret contrives that
Margaret's address reaches Kennedy.
Kennedy goes to visit her. Kennedy
sees Norwood entering the building
ahead OF him and follows Norwood.
Kennedy desperately starts to plead
with Margaret to return to him,
then change his tactics insinuating
| that Margaret is now Norwood's mis-
tress- Norwood filings himself at
Kennedy. Margaret keeps the two
1art. Norwood Iecovers his self
control, sends Margaret into the next
room. Norwood announces his mar
| rage to Margaret and warns Kenne-
dy to keep hands off. Kennedy, IN
| belieVingly, rushes into the next
room, where Margaret confirms Nor
/ woods statement.
The shock of surprise, rage, disap-
pointment is great and Kennedy re-
! turns home, to find Mary returned,
| having sacrificed her feelings to save
| his good name. He is conscious of a
| feeling that his wife has not deserted
him. For the first time, he makes a
slight recognition of Mary's devotion.
| but Mary shows no response in the
way of forgiveness. She declares
that she will do her duty, use every
| effort to help him win the election
and save his good name, but after
that she must go away to save her
self-respect.
Kennedy, Mary, Norwood and Mar
garet are present at a campaign fete
| given for Kennedy The Yelled
to ensnare Margaret and Kennedy,
Woman takes last desperate chance
tries to kill Kennedy, is captured, the
veil torn from her face and her ident-
| ity discovered.
Kennedy wins the election by a close
vote. Norwood goes to Kennedy, US
es his privilege as an old friend of
| Mary's to arraign Kennedy for his
treatment of the self-sacrifcing Mary
and reveals to Kennedy the fact that
| Mary saved his fortune. Kennedy
| tries to be defiant but there is hum
| bleness, and a great shame working
| in his soul. Returning home, Kenne-
dy sees Mary preparing to go away.
Kennedy pleads with Mary to return as
| ne needs her strength as he is weak
Mary is not to be won over so easily.
Choking back her love, she declares
that she is going on a long trip alone,
that Kennedy in the meantime must
prove that he is climbing up the lad
der again and that he really wants
her love. When he has given this
proof she will return.
| Margaret surernders to Norwood's
unselfish devotion and they are mar
ried. Mary on her trip longs for
Kennedy, while he grimly works to
regain self-respect and his wife

RESOLUTION

Whereas, the saving of fuel is a
patriotic duty in which every person
can do something; and
Whereas, it is with considerable
pride and pleasure we have that the
business men represented by the
Chamber of Commerce and Fuel Ad-
ministrator w. A. Lewis, have
reached an agreement to shorten the
hours during which all the activities
of the city are carried on with the
view of saving fuel; and,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved by the
Mayor and Councilmen of the City
of Hays, Kansas:
: l. That we heartily commend, ap-
prove and endorse the agreement
above mentioned for it is realized
that every business man and enter
prise within our city has had to sac
rifce something for the common
good;
2. That we earnestly hope and
wish that all the inhabitants of the
city will, as we confidently expect,
help to save fuel, so that the world
may know that we have cheerfully
done our part to win the war.
