THE ROSE JAR

Samuel Minturn Peck in Boston Tran script
 Now Betty in the twilight left The cover of the Pot-uorri- or course, the jar of lid bereft,
 The prisoned fragrance was set free; And next 1t chanced-across the room The quaint old perfume took it's flight. And straying from the inner gloom FOrth-ventured in the starlit night Perhaps the wraiths of long-dead flow
 CTS,
 All city-sick, were fain to find That happy spot mid golden hours Where once they bloomed swayed by
 the wind; Perhaps-but as they strayed they met A man who thought of all he'd missed, And while his tired eyes were wet His lips the pitying perfume kissed The man, all city-weary, too,
 That breath of balm, it made him In youth garden old he knew; He saw 1t in the starlight gleam, Again he viewed the blossoms rare Whose scent on every breeze was
 blown;
 And there he wandered not alone The story here might have it's end Had not the man a poet been, But midnight saw him sadly wend Back to his garret there to lean Above table while he wrote
 How Life and Fate had done> him
 wrong; And with an aching heart and throat He shrined his sorrow in a song. The poem printed OCT his name By land and sea spread far and widc; It turned the tide, it brought him fame, And almost all Fate had denied, But what Is all. alas. without
 The sweetest guerdon life can bring? Ay, what is life with love left out? A barren. worthless, bitter thing.

 WM THEN the Germans slipped
 wv through the mists of the North
 sea the other day and dropped some shells in Yarmouth the painstall ing news dispatchers deemed it neces- sary to locate Yarmouth for us and tell us something about it. It was plain to from the encyclopedia, for they described it as municipal, county and parliament tary borough and seaport of Norfolk, 121 miles northeast of London. And then followed details about the bridge across the Yare the church founded by the bishop of Norwich in 1101, the fourteenth century dollhouse and the Doric column erected In honor of Lord Nelson.
 We dare say all this is accurate enough, but it is not the Yarmouth we know. Not bit of it. We have better infor nation We visited Yarmouth as small boy and caught our first glimpse of it from the shoulder of Ham Peggoty We didn't see the bridge, the church or the
 
 waste so flat that we wondered if the world were really round, as the geogra- phy book said, how any part of it could be so flat But we reflected that Tar mouth might be situated at one of the poles, which would account for it. We hinted to Peggotty that if the land had been a little more separated from the sea, and the town and the tide had not been quite so mixed up, like toast and water, it would have been nicer. But we remember that Peggotty we mean, of course, our nurse Peggotty not Ham) stood up stoutly for Yarmouth, which was her native place, and said she was proud to call herself a Yarmouth bloater.
 But things looked better when we really got into the town and the wonders of its streets were revealed to us. Where did anybody get the idea that the bishop of Norwichs 8 church was a sight to see

I do this not because my present work is un- pleasant, for it is one of the most de- lishtful ,pastorates I have ever had, but because the call to be the superintendent in a great, growing city and an impe- rial county strongly appeals to me, and I want to get in the thick of the fight. have had considerable experience in the great northwest in missionary and church building work and hope to put it to good use In my new job

Interesting Public Market

T put in five years in one of the great est retail grocery stores in America" " said Benjamin Abelson, who recently came to Birmingham to live Tt was at Providence, R. l., and went under the name of the Providence public market. There were nearly 500 men connected with it. The arrangement of the store into departments, the showing of the goods, the manner of assembling the purchases, the means of separating the sales to be carried away by the buyer and those to be delivered, the method by which cus- toners could make cash deposit to be checked against, and many other things brought enternrising grocers from all over the country to study it. The store was most attractive and was sanitary in every way. No purchaser could ham, de any article. Everything was behind glass cases. I wish Birmingham could have such a store"

Blue the skies above,
 Warm and bright the sun; With merry lit
 Tiny rivers run,
 Over pebbled beds, While the genial day
 Mirth and gladness spreads. Up and down the wales
 Waits frolic breeze, Toying here and there With the leafless trees. Stars a rumor-where?
 Who is there can say?- Whispered to our hearts.
 Spring is on the way"

 Now comes the word flashing over the wires that the Jewish aspiration, as ex- pressed by zionism, which not so long ago was deliberately ignored is now be- ing accepted by French opinion as an important political factor. Palestine is now being regarded as a separate and distinct country. whose future will be de- cided at the same time as that of Syria, Arabia and Mesopotamia It is being taken for granted in nearly every quar- ter that it will come either under the pro- lection of England or some form of in ternational control.
 
 This is the very breath of life in the nostrils of millions of orthodox Jews in the storm swept and battle scared areas of Europe whose pitiful plight has gore straight to the heart of those battling against the horde of Huns which have devastated the lands. It puts new inter- est in the movement here in America. and without giving offense to my many Jewish friends who look upon Zionism as thing not to be desired. am sure they will permit me to congratulate Rabbi Mendelsohn and his congregation on having had the Zionist cause so elo- quently presented by Miss Ssold.
