More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
OUR LADY OF THE snow.

OUR LADY OF THE SNOW.
A Yankee, who in Montreal
Would fam have got a bun
(This happened early in the faID
Was told it wasn't done.
The barkeep whispered with a winl.
Though Montreal may thirst
We feel, that in dispensing drink
The L. S. A. comes first
And though no customers are bar
From slipping beer and wine.
All liquor Of the kind called hard
Is sent across the line"
Another Yankee in Quebec.
With an eXpectant grin.
Allowed he'd like to wrap his neck
Around a slug OF gin.
But a Quebecian, suave and bland.
Said in a soothing tone:
The need. sir. of your native land
Is greater than our own.
For gin your parching lips TO lave
You here Will seek in vain
The liquor OF the sort YOU crave
Has all been shipped 10 Maine. "
Thus Sidney, stretched upon the
field
Made desolate by war,
Was generously moved 10 yield
The cup he needed sore.
And thus the Lady Of the North
Observes a suffering land
Forgets all self, and stretches forth
A moist and helping hand
The liquor that would bear her past
The winters snow and ice
From her own table she has cast,
With noble sacrifice.

This was the statement of Joseph l.. Wheeler I'm

failure was that the state library commission was
always immersed IN politics.
Here is a serious situation indeed. There is no

This condition obtains many other states
Wherever il obtains it needs remedy.
There IS influence more pronounced upon the

PITY THE NEWSPAPER WRITER!

PITY THE NEWSPAPER WRITER!
Many people envy the profession
al writer his privileges Of seeing his
writings in print, but they do not
know with what trepidation many a
conscientious newspaperman scans
the successive editions OF his paper,
wondering what new tricks his type
writer or the printer may have play
IN the most careful and leisur rely
authors. but the wonder is that not
more OF them occur in newspapers
where writings, editing, compost
ton, proof-reading and makeup
are done under the dictatorship of
the memorable time-schedule Of the
presses.
The Paris Journal Des Debats has
discovered a Partisan who ali his
life has taken pleasure in carefully
clipping and preserving the absurdi-
ties of journalism. Some of them are
not translatable. but others are of
the sort that might as well-and
perhaps often do--appear IN Ameri-
can newspapers. (The headlines are
ours)
