IN M MORIAM

This poem by Edgar A. Guest, was
read at the last meeting of the Satur.
day Afternoon Literary Club in mem
DRY of Mrs. Mary L. Enos, who was
one Of the clubs charter members:
when a friend is dead and gone,
Then you like to ponder on
The good things and the fine things
That she did along the way.
And you like to talk about her
When you're facing life without her,
And recall the smiles she gave you
And the things she used to say.
when a good friends life is ended
You remember all the splendid
All the kindly deeds that trailed her
AS she walked the way of earth.
And the thought that give you sorrow
Is that every new tomorrow
Will be darker for her passing
You will need but miss her worth.
when you start to reminiscing
Over some n who is missing,
Who was with you but has vanished,
It's the good that you recall.
You have ceased to pass in blindness
All her little deeds Of kindness,
And you run her lifetime over
And find splendor in it all.
loft | wonder what Pm weaving,
Just what memories Pm leaving
When it m my time to journey
Der the dark, uncharted sea.
When I've passed my bleak December
Will a few friends then remember
That | lived and find some pleasure
In the memory of me?"

lived about Hind'snburg's shelter said
he was continually running for cover.
American representatives on the
international armistice commission
are now occupying Hindenburg's quar-
ters. The entrance to this under
ground quarters was from the dining
room, and from there a flight Of steps
led down to a tiled ante room which
now serves as a good pantry for the
Americans. From the tiled room there
was another flight of steps that led
down to the real dug out. This was
blocked by a huge iron door about one
inch in thickness which could be lock-
ed from the inside only. Within 1t
was fastened by a double bolt which
would do credit to an American bank
ing establishment.
