" We Knew.

II we knew the woe and heartache
That await Us on the road:
II our lips could taste the NORWOOD
II our backs could feel the load;
Would We waste today in wishing
For time that ne'er may be?
Would we wait in such impotence
For our ships 10 come from sea-
II we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be cold and stifr tomorrow.
Never trouble US again.
Would the bright eyes OF our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow?
Would the print OF baby fingers
Eex us then as they do now?
All, those little ice cold fingers.
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along the backward track!
How those little hands remind US.
AS IN snow grace they lie,
Not 10 scatter thorns but roses
For the reaping by and by.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet voiced birds have
flown:
Strange, that we should slight the
violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer skies and sun
shine
Never seem one half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal OF silence
None but God can roll away
Never hlOsSCmed il such beauty
As adorns the mouth too
And sweet words rhat freight our
memory
With their beautiful perfume
Come 70 US in sweeter accents
Thru the portals of the tomb
Let US gather up the sunbeams
Lying ali around our path;
Let Us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorrs and chat:
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of today,
With a 1atient hand removing
Al! the briers from the way.

Policeman Jesse Kline swears that
ne met up with the original 'meanest
man yesterday.

The policeman was Informed that the
