My Mother on
the Eastern Shore
BY w. D. GREENE.

You may sing about the girl you left
behind you,
You may rave about her eyes and
golden hair,
l have some one far more precious to
remember.
To whom no blue-eyed maiden can
compare.
1t has been a long, sad time since en-
braced her,
And perhaps her dear face / shall see
no more;
But in my heart 1 cherish still the
image
or my mother whom left on East
ern Shore.
CHORUS.
can see my home tonight,
With the morning glories bright,
Making halo round my mother in the
door;
And the honeysuckles sweet
Do my longing senses greet.
BY our humble cottaeg OF the East
ern Shore.
A sweetheart may deceive you and for
sake you,
May be false to every tender pledge
she gave,
But your mothers heart Is ever true
and tender
And her love win follow you beyond
the grave.
II is nice TO have a tender, loving
sweetheart,
On whom you think you can trust
forever more,
But my best bet Is dear, old-fashioned
mother
Who Is praying for me on the East
ern Shorei
I never can forget the day we parted,
Her form was bowed with grief, and
yet she smiled
Il am giving all have unto my coun-
try,
on. Lord in mercy guard my only
child"
Her prayer was heard and / shall soon
be with her.
Oh, long 10 see her dear, old face
once more,
And lay my weary head upon her
bosom,
In our little home down on the East
ern Shore.

Christian Science services were held in

Cross YETI They still need your help.
-Only four more weeks to Christmas,
when old Santa Claus will bring we hope
much of good cheer to many hereabouts to
help much in keeping with yuletide custom.
Should there bea possibility of The
Mirror being issued late next week it may
be we'll to state it is not due to any labor
trouble, but rather to slight rush OF job
and other work that must be taken care OF
in limited amount of time.
Owing to Thursday being Thanksgiving
day the motion picture entertainment was
given Monday afternoon instead OF We'd
nesday as usual, and in view of going to
press earlier comment on the picture show
will be carrier over until next issue.
The largest number of visitors in one
party that has been seen for some time,
were escorted through the prison Saturday
noon by Warden Reed. There were about
14O in the party-nearly all ladies, and
were school teachers we learn from Mime
apolis. After going through the prison the
ladies were guests of the Warden at lunch
con in the officers dining hall. From what
we can learn they all expressed themselves
as being delighted to find the institution in
so remarkable fine appearance throughout;
and in such cleanly condition as seen from
the hygenic point of view. The party re-
turned home, no doubt we'll pleased with
their visit.

Opals More Plentiful

Mexican opal mining, which was Sos
pended during the war period, has been re-
sumed and it is expected that soon there
will be an increase in the market. From
this source we have obtained what is
called the fire opal, one of the most brilliant
gems. Other valuable mining grounds for
opals are in the city of Moscow, Idaho.
where they are embedded in volcanic ashes.
Opals differ from all other precious stones
and for this reason are more interesting.
The nby, sapphire and emerald owe their
colors to mineral element by which the
crystals are stained, but the opal gets its
tints from its structure. The light reflect
ing through the minute cracks at different
angles.
An amythest is a quartz crystal stained
with manganese while an opal is quartz
crystal of another variety, containing from
to Is per cent. of water. Both are formed
by the deposition of silica from water and
it was in that way that three molluscan
shells transformed into opal, recently given
to Harvard University, underwent their
strange change. The shells were in the
rock, their limy material dissolved and was
replaced little by little with water borne
| silica.
The most famous gem of the kind is the
Hope opal, formerly the property of Hen
Iy Philip Hope, Dutch banker, who liq-
qidated the national debt of Brazil, and
took his pay in diamonds, which originally
inspired him with his hobby.
The Hope opal (now owned by an Am
-erican millionaire) is believed to have come
originally from Mexico, but in sthe 18th
century it adorned Persian sh inc. 1t re-
presents the sun-an object of worship in
Persia-with full face carved on its surface

Motion Picture Show

We had an indulgence of comedy at the
movies Wednesday, Nov. 19, that should
last us nicely for awhile or at least until the
next visit we may have of the "Mack Sen
nett'' and paramount" players. The
two reels of the Mack Sennett comedy en-
titled, "Watch Your Neighbor'' had all
the customary jingo to it creating never
ceasing laugh as either 'Doc" or the "Un-
dertaker'' or the "Patient' happened to
score. Following the above stirring opener,
the reel of Red Cross pictures showing the
ruined buildings in and around Rheims
which were of course an interesting exhi-
bit, gave ample proof of the mad mans
assault from the German cannon.
The two Paramount reels that were
given coming under the caption of "The
Bell Boy introduced ''Fatty Arbuckle"
as the "Bell Boy" and, Of. course, he and
his clever bunch of helpers certainly cut up
in fashion that left nothing undone to
make it mirth getter from start to finish.
The music was fine and song by Mr..
B., "My Welcomes Gone Since quit
Wearing the Uniform brought eager ap-
plause to which he had to respond. The
show was one of those big all round sue
cessful comedy extravaganza's that are
sannwiched in periodically and which are
sure to provide plenty of fun to make for
laugh and like it and which we all certain
ly do, if we are to Judge by the storms of
laughter.

Leaves From Or Posts.
Little Brown Hands

They drive home the cows from the pas
ture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quaiI whistles loud in the field.
That are yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick, waving grasses
Where the scarlet tipped strawberry
grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrop
And the first crimson bud of the rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder bloom white,
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft tinted October light;
They know where the apples hang ripest.
More yellow than gold from the mines;
They know where the fruit clusters thickes,
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds,
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land,
They wave from the tall, rocking tree tops
Where the orioles hammock nest swings
And at nighttime are folded in silence
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest.
The humble and poor become great,
And from these brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and scholar
The noble and wise of the land
The chisel, the sword and the palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand.

The Bakers Boy

If l were grown and baker man,
I'd run my shop on practical plan:
I'D hire boy to stand by the shelf
And sample all the stuff himself.
He'd catch the ear of the passers-by
With, "See how love it-this apple pie!
Notice how crisp are the cooky hearts!
See the juice in the cherry tarts!
Others vii like them as we'll as L!
Who'll buy, Who'll buy, who'll buyi''
Surely the people would stop and say,
"We want some, too, if they taste tha
way.
Those buns and biscuits were made t<
enjoy
Just listen, and look at the bakers boy!
I'm munching the macaroons, he sings
The lady fingers are delicious things;
The chocolate cakes half gone, you 1
note;
The jelly roll fairly rolls down my throat.
And all of the people would surely cry,
"We'll buy, we'll buy, we'll buy!"

The New York State Barge
Canal

To open the western country and provide
safe and cheap transportation for market
bound products, the improvement of the
waterways was an absolute necessity. Gov
ernor Dewitt Clinton dreamed of state
owned canal. The route was inspected
and improved by President George Wash
ington, engineer and surveyor. The Erie
canal, opened in 1925, four feet deep, AZ
feet wide and floating boats carrying 30
tons, was the result. Many laughed at it,
calling it "Clinton's big ditch In con-
junction with the Niagara river, it con-
nected Lake Erie and the Hudson river.
Prior to its opening, Philadelphia was
Americas greatest seaport. After its COM
pletion, the shipping naturally went to
New York and the splendid chain of pros
porous cities which won for New York the
title of Empire state, sprang up along the
route. The canal did such an enormous
business that in 1908, the people of the
state decided to make it barge canal,
hence the name.
The present main canal is IL feet deep,
IS to 200 feet wide, 339 miles long and
has three branches aggregating 100 miles
in length. 1t is one of the worlds great
est engineering feats and is ten times as
long as the Panama canal. 1t contains 81
locks, each 328 feet long and As feet wide.
Five at Waterford have a combined lift OF
l69 feet and are the greatest series of high
| lift locks in the world. Three hundred OF
more bridges, carrying railroads and pub
lie highways, cross this canal. The total
cost approximated $50, 600, 900 and is be-
ing paid by the people of the Empire state.

About Badness
You may feel bi. of sadness
Without really being sad.

You may feel a bit of sadness
Without really being sad,
You may sense touch of gladness
Without really being glad,
You may even feel some madness
Without being truly mad,
But if you feel a tit of badness
Then look out!
For little bit of sadness
Will catch fellows eye,
And little bit of gladness
Will send his spirits high,
And with little madness
You might very we'll get by,
But when it comes to badness
There's doubt.
For there's sadness that depresses
And there's madness that distresses
Also gladness that expresses
What the Joy of life's about.
You can do without the gladness
Or the sadness
Or the madness
But that little bit of badness
People cannot live without.

Since mother went away;
The parrot looks me in the face
Without a word to say;
The clocks the only thing that's kept
A-goin' as before

The squeakin' of the floor.
Her knittin's as she left it there
Upon the handy shelf;
The broom stands in the corner where
She set it back herself;
Her aprons hangin' on the hook
Beside the kitchen sink;
l see things everywhere look
That make me think-and think.
Her Bibles open where she read
The night before she went;
The pillow where she laid her head
Still plainly shows the dent;
It's all just as it was the day
She left me to reflect,
Except the cat has went away
Got lonesome expect.
never realized before
How long the nights could be;
The quietness gets more and more
Oppressive, seems to me;
But won't she smash it when she gives
Me all the news she'll bring

The Coming of Winter
Stubble's frozen on the hill,
Waters frozen in the rut;
Reeds are frozen, golden, still,
Round the tawny musk-at hut.
burrows in the snow are lost,
Where the barley brimmed the dale;
Aster banks are pearled with frost;
Rhine is on the leaning rail.
Breath springs like spirit light,
Faces away like wan desire;
Over everv chimney hight
Hangs the pallid sign of fire.
Clouds are crowding cold with snow,
Where an east and northern brews;
When the fires are old and low,
Storm will rumble in the hues.
Gather, dearie, gather close,
Glance and dimple, smile and charm,
Mock the summer hearted rose
Love will keep the winter warm.
