A CHRISTMAS WALK

In silvery softness the anthem closed
Like a slowly silcnced bell;
The sacred calm of peace divine
Like a benedictIon fell;
And out on the morning light that spread
A glimner of amber gray,
! walked with Margery home from church
On an old, old Christmas Day.
A bland, mild tiay--for the rugged month
Had chosen kindly mood,
Like wonderful mellow aftermath
From the Autumn's plenitude.
With scarcely a tang Of wholesome cold
Did the Winters breezes blow.
AS Margery walked from church with me
On Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched our
hearts
The warnings kindly and WISE
Had left shadow Of tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes;
The merry, hoydenish maid I'd known
For twelvemonth's flying space.
Had taken on that old Christmas Day.
new and womaniy grace
AS through the tremulous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart,
A sun ray lighted the rosy face.
The wish was born in my heart
That down the trail of the unspent years.
Whatever their trend might be,
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then,
Might walk to the end with me.
Absently watching the velvet flakes
BY the white gale set a-wing,
breathe the spirit OF other years
While the bells OF YuletIde ring;
And near me. smiling with happy eyes
At our children's romplng play,
IS the girl who walked from church with
me
On, that old, sweet Christmas Day.

NEEDED RECONSTRUCTION WORK

1t is to be hoped that those who are
working out plan of campaign for
highway construction in Iowa County
this year will give due consideration to
the long, steep hill over beyond Kodatz
station, on the Mineral Point Belmont
Platteville state trunk highway. In
early days this was known on this end
of the line as the Galena road; and
pioneer teamsters, among them the old
"Scotch Giant" freighted over it with
OK teams. It was then the worst point
on the road between the mines at
DodgevilIe and Mineral Point and the
water front at Galona; and since that
time it has not been much improved.
It requires mans job of engineering !;
and it has never been undertaken in a
way to put it across 1t is rightly the
policy of our road builders to attack
first the worst points on the highways,
to cut down the worst grades and to
smooth out the worst places. The
Democrat respectfully calls their atten-
ton to that piece of road over beyond
Kodatz. which is and always has been
a hard road to travel.

From Serot. Major w. s. PedIey.

from Ser9t. MAJOR w. y. Teuiev.
The following letter of sympathy Vas written
by W. S. Pedley from Larochette Luxemberg,
to Mr. John r. Brown:
Today | was informed of your be-
reayement and [ feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words of mine
which should attempt to beguile You
from the grief Of loss so overwhelming
I would like to SOW the world with men
possessed of the ideas and ideals of
James Brown. A generation of youth
with character and convictions like his /,
would work revolution as irresistible
As the resurrection of spring. Death,
the kind umpire of mans misery, has
given this tired boys body eternal
youth. Some call it death. All forms
of decay are but masks of regeneration.
Therefore, I am brave enough to call
death but the beginning of life. And
with this beautiful thought in my heart
I'll just say, "Goodby, my boy And
this, after all, means in words, little
better say, Goodnight, for what is
life to us left but the last remnant of
short day? I pray that our Heavenly
Father may assauge the anguish of
YOUR bereavement and leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved and
lost and the solemn pride that must be
yours to have laid 80 costly a sacrifice
upon the altar of Freedom.
