Could Not Dislodge Rock

The famous balanced rock" near Lanes
boro, Mass, in the historic Berkshires, is
one of the strange sights of this region of
hidden mountain caves, snow-capped hills
and folklore that rivals fiction. This rock,
which weighs several ton, is apparently in
precarious position on the sheer edge of
another rocky formation beneath it. One
would think that very slight push indeed
would dislodge it from its position.
Balanced rocks is located on Constitu-
tiop hill, the eminence named after "Con-
stitution" Smith, who was instrumental
in ratifying the American Constitution. An
old farmer of Lanesboro thought he could
pull balanced rock" from its position by
harnessing up several pairs of oxen, attach
ing chain to the rock and having the ami
ruals strain on the rock together. The ex-
pertinent failed. The rock could be rocked
back and forth, but could not be dislodged. j.
The ice flow of the glacial period is be-
lieved to have been responsible for placing
the huge rock in its present position.

Pershing in Tears Beside
EIinnesotan

How General Pershing wept while he
clasped the hand of Pvt. George Yates,
Dodge Center, was told by officers of the
hospital ship Mercy, which arrived in New
York March H..
Private Yates, whose right leg was shot
off in the Argonne while fighting with the
Fifth marines, was in his cot when General
Pershing boarded the vessel, two hours be-
fore it was scheduled to leave Bordeaux. He
talked with many of the men, but when he
came to Private Yates bedside he stopped.
s'What outfit are you from?" he asked.
"The Fifth marines, SIR" was the reply.
''You should be proud of your corps.
You are wonderful fighters he said.
Yates blushed and was very embarrassed.
"Where are you wounded?'' The gen.
eral added.
"Boy, you're real man. Nothing is too
good for you. Your country must be
proud of you," said General Pershing, with
tears in his eyes, after Private Yates had
displayed the stump of his leg.
A moment later he smiled.
''You'll be able to dance again when
they get you fixed up" he added.
The Mercy had 3S1 seriously wounded
men aboard, nine being Minnesotans, two
of them having legs off.-SeI.

Ignorant of Wars Ending

There will be no premature peace Gel

miles south of the Arctic ocean, for Fort
Mcpherson will not know that the war is
over until some time in the near future.
The news will reach this trading post in
the semi-annual arctic mail which lett Fort
McMurray, proposed terminal of the Al
berta and Great Waterways railway, by
dog team December l. The news is includ-
ed in $50 pounds of mail carried by two
sledges, pulled by ten dogs each and driven
by veteran "mushers.'' The distance is
l,500 miles as the crow flies, but consider

Leaves From Our Poets.
The Vision

They are kneeling in the stiffness of the
cfoister's far retreat,
To await their Gods appearing in some
wonder vision meet;
They are PROSTATE and entreating as they
prayer by prayer repeat,
But it is not here we linger for the Masters
passing feet.
The throng is pressing onward with the
daily rush of care;
And glance to heaven uplifted is the
toiler's only prayer;
But we saw a weary brother bend fellows
load to share,
And we paused in humble reverence, for
we caught the Vision there.
Have ye lifted up the fallen as ye met them
day bv dayi
Have ye healed and taught and fed them
and reclaimed the soul astrayi
Seek not then the distant cloister, send We
not the crowd away,
LeSt the FTeSenCe vanish with them, ana In
vain and long ye pray.
Go and keep your prayerful vigils where His
sick and prisoned lie,
Go and find your holy temples where men
for their brothers die,
Go await the blessed Vision where ye dry
the mourner's eye,
And see the Presence waiting where the
friendless children cry.
Have ye seen not His appearing as ye jour
neyed to and fro?
He is passing and repassing where your
multitudes must go;l
In the hearts of men He waits you; where
ye hush the cries of woe,
Not in the heavens, the Vision, but in the
earth below.

The Nautilus.

Man and Beast

l am less patient than this horse,
And it is heeter far than I.
Its hair is silky, mine is coarse;
Grasses have shaped that larger eye,
While to feed me live things must die.
The birds make little darts in air,
And fishes little darts in streams,
Peacocks are peacocks everywhere .
And men buy too tight boots and swear,
Then sleep-but haven't dogs fine dreams?
You glow worms, too, who to the weary
Are lamp and oil and wick and friend;
You bearded goat, half up the quarry
l am a man; yes, am sorry
A clumsy man. But wait, perpend!
Horse, though m slow; sheep, though my
back
Yields nothing useful; tho 1 can't fly,
You lucky birds; and though your track,
Rabbits, is far too fine, alack,
For me to follow; though die
If lay long in watery places
Fish, how l envy you your rings!-
And though I'd rather not run races
With dragon flies, nor thread the mazes
Of smooth lawn with ants and things +.
o yet, o yet I've more than these,
Which they neglect them to possess:
They do not count the Pleiades,
They do not see through glimmering trees
The stars and planets numberless;
They do not know the leaf and stem
And bud and flower beneath their feet.
They sniff at Stars-of- Bethlehem,
And buttercups are food for them.
No more than bitter food, or sweet. i.
l, to whom air and waves are sealed,
yet possess the human part.
o better beasts, you now must yield!

Lend-a-Hand Song

From city and from prairie
From every happy home,
To help the faint and weary,
Our Fathers children come,
As far as sunlight reaches,
As high as mountsins stand
Our gladstone gospel teaches
How all shall lend hand.
The boys shall tell their mothers,
The fathers tell the boys,
The sisters tell their brothers,
Till all the lands rejoice.
As far as sunlight reaches,
Glad news to eager men,
And every learner teaches
That Ten times one is ten
In every home of sorrow,
Some loving comfort bring,
And something more tomorrow,
While all unite and sing,
Look upward to his heaven,
Look forward at his call,
And use the strength he's given,
To lend hand to all.

Compensation

AS years glide by, within your hand, the
Book of Life you hold,
You like to turn the pages back where
childhood's tales are told.
Oh, why can't it always be clover time with
busy bees about
Why can't you be child again with such
joyous shout?
But every season has its showers also its
shining sun,
You are one for eternity and Life has just
begun.
Compensation keeps apace, it grows along
with you,
Reach out for Health and Happiness. you'll
surely find your due.

A Bit of Advice

Don't 60 making trouble,
Adding to your load,
For it may 60 sneaking
Up some other road.
Greet the present pleasure,
Shun the future woe;
Seek the golden sunshine.
Let the shadow GO.
If the day is gloomy,
Speed it in its flight;
Other days are coming
With their wealth of light.
If the night is clouded,
Stop not to repine;
Other nights are coming
When the stars will shine. :.
If within the apple
Ugly worm is found,
There are many others
That are sweet and sound.
If one friend proves faithless
And betrays trust,
There are many others
Loyal, loving, trust.
Let peal of laughter
Danish thoughts of care
1t will help to tighten
Burdens others bear.
Use the word that's kindly
When inclined to chide;
1t will long abide.
Seek the smoothest pathway
On the road of life.
Cherish sweet contehtment,
Keep aloof strife.
Don't 60 hunting trouble;
Look for Joy instead,
For, when all is over,
Mans lone time is dead.
