IF SHOULD DIE TONIGHT,

If I should die tonight,
My friends would look upon my quiet
face
Before they laid it in it's resting place,
And deem that death had made it al
most fair;
And laying snow-white flowers against
my hair,
Would smooth it down with fearful
tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering
caress- 49,
Poor hands, SO empty and so cold to-
night!
If should die tonight,
My friends would call to mind, with
loving thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hands had
wrought;
Some gentle word the frozen lips had
said;
Errands on which the willing feet had
sped;
The memory of my selfishness and
pride,
My hasty words, would all be put
aside,
And so should be loved and mourned
tonight.
If should die tonight,
Even hearts estranged would turn once
more to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully;
The eyes that chill me with ayerted
glance
Would look upon me as of yore, per-
chance,
And soften, in the old familiar way.
For who could war with dumb, uncon.
scious clay!
So l might rest, forgiven of all. to.
night.
Oh, friends, pray tonight,
Keep not you kisses for my dead, cold
brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them
now.
Think gently of me; am travel worn
My faltering feet are pierced with
many thorn.
Forgive oh, hearts estranged, forgive
1 plead!
When dreamless rest is mine shall
not need
The tenderness of which long to
night

ANYONE KNOW THIS?

George P. Brown of Hot Springs, S.
Dak, sends the following chorus of a
song popular some thirty-five years
ago. He wishes the whole song. Any
body know it?
"Then hurrah for the flag
With the harp in the green,
We will have what we want, boys,
We will be what we've been.
Well never give the battle up,
But struggle on like men
Till Ireland belongs to
The Irish again.

again and again. ooh, how can l
ever thank God enough for His won
derful goodness to mel"
Edgar watched them with tears in
his eyes. Then he said:
''Valeria, know Agnes cannot bear
to have you out of sight this evening,
so will run down for your mother and
we will have a grand reunion
1t was indeed happy party that sat
around the supper table. Mrs. Audrey
was almost beside herself with joy
She could hardly believe that her
daughter was really cured and could
walk and run again like other girls.
Never had Valeria looked so beautiful
as the. soft lamp light shed it's ruddy
glow upon her glossy dark tresses and
flushed, animated countenance. At
least, so thought Edgar, and he could
scarcely take his eyes off her. Agnes
noticed his glances and smiled to her
self.
Edgar was home on fortnight's va
cation. Those were happy days in
deed. Valera and her mother spent
most of the time at the Donovan cot
tage, Agnes, to the joy of all, seemed
to rally. There was a faint wild rose
bloom on her cheek and she was even
able to take short walk on the beach
when the weather was exceptionally
fine. How merry were the meals and
how delightful the evenings! All too
quickly the time passed and the day
dawned when Edgar was obliged to re-
turn to the city. Agnes had begged
permission to go to Mass that Sunday
and as it was a glorious day and she
seemed so much stronger, Edgar con-
scented. When she knelt between her
brother and Valeria in the beautiful
chapel of st. Joseph's, tears of JOY
filed her eyes at being once more in
the presence of the Blessed Sacra.

Are laid proudly at her feet,
What the early springtime moulded
And the summer sun made sweet.
There's no mouth within the cycle
So replete with gifts for me;
For beneath her skies of purple
First my life boat put to sea.
May it find it's destined haven;
Anchor safe beyond Times bay,
When the red to brown is turning
On blest October day.

NO GUARD

PARIS, Nov, 20- President Mill. erand has amazed some of the old re- sidents of Paris by appearing on the streets of the city apparently without a guard. Scores of persons recognized the French President when he walked the other day from the Elysee Palace through the Champs Elysees toward the Seine and his progress was mark ed by a succession of bows. Not . de- tective was in sight.
 This is in sharp contrast to the practice of most former Presidents. Few of them ever have ventured forth alone and in most cases they have been surrounded by 8 stong guard of or police. N. Aillersudt democratic conduct in this respect has caused much comment and increased his popularity.

PARIS, Nov., 20 An interview by a Paris newspaper representative giv- en by Lloyd George in London was to- day printed in the Paris newspaper.

WOMEN AND PIPES

LONDON, Nov, 21- Pipe smoking seems to be on the increase among London women and fashionable cigar stores display dainty small briars, some set with precious stones. It is said there is growing demand for these.
 At one west London theatre where smoking is permitted, two smartly dressed women were seen the other ev- ening in box puffing at their jewell ed pipes, and soon an old Irishwoman in the gallery followed suit. Here was a clay "cutty."
 In a first-class railroad car between Horsham and London, a quarrel arose the other day between a number of non-smoking women and another wo- man who refused to put out her cigar ette at her sister traveler5s behest. It ended in one of the anti-smokers' seiz- ing the offending cigarette, gold mounted tortoiseshell holder and all, and flinging it out of the window.
 "Two guineas costs will meet the case," said the makistrate."

NOT YET

BERLIN, Nov., 20- The first Con- gress of Shop Soviets recently held hare refused to go on record as fav- bring the Soviet government of Rus sia. There was a sharp clash between the Communists and Independent Soc ialists over the question but the mo- tion was voted down About 1000 dele gates attended the meeting.
 The workers in the German indust- rial and commercial establishments, who are now given an active voice in administration of them, were impress ed in the congress with the need of conserving raw products so that Ger many may produce sufficient finished commodities to enable her to establish credits abroad with which to pay for the importation of the most necessary food and raw materials.
 Rudolph Wissel, formerly Minister of Economies, said that German tex tile and iorn industries were in need of foreign supplies. The 2s.000,O00 tons of ore which Germany formerly ob- tained from Alsace-Lorraine and Lux emburg must now be rocured through foreign credits. The Versailles Treaty had deprived the nation of one-third of its grain producing areas while the re- maining soil had been impoverished by intensified wartime cultivation and lack of fertilizers.
 The former Minister ascribed the present economic crisis to under-pro- dnction, denying that it was due to over consumption and he declared that Germany would be forced to sub' sist on small rations for a long time.

CHANGE OF ATTITUDE

BERLIN, Nov, 20- The change @ which has taken place in the attitude of Germans toward official personages was illustrated the other day at Temp lehof Field where the German smper- or formerly twice . year reviewed the troops of the. Berlin garrison. Presi- dent Ebert visited the field q few days ago to watch the filming of . motion picture but instead of the adulation which used to be accorded to the En- peror, the crowd of 1000 costumed performers failed to rscoznise the President, jostled him and gave him scant show at tho sandwich counter.
 The German President wandered about unaccompsnied and stood for a while beside the camera man while scene was photographed. Later he made his way against the edge of a crowd witnessing . "riot scene" When the crowd was ordered out of camera range Herr Ebert received no consid- eration from the jostling spectators.
 One of the crowd who recognized him called attention to his presence: but few gave him any notice.

WHO WILL PAY

Ireland are agitated over the question who is to pay for the damages result ing from reprisals committed by the "Black and Tans," or semi-military fQnce. employed by the government to suppress Sim Fein disorders.
 The total amount of damages re- sulting from Sim Fein disorders, and reprisals by orangemen and govern ment agents in Ireland, is estimated to be nearly 1o,Ooo.ooo pounds. AL ready awards amounting to 5,000,OOO pounds for damages inflicted by the Sim Feiners have been assessed against the taxpayers.
 The law prescribes that the tax payer shall pay for all willful damage to property or life maliciously con- ficted. The county judges who pass upon claims arising from damages in Black and Tan reprisals have granted awards to the claimants and attempt cd to make them the charge against the local authorities. They have, how Lwr, indicated in their judgements that they believe the government should make good the losses caused 5y it's own servants.
 The principal taxpayers in Ireland are for the most part Unionists who are the largest property holders and ould be harie, t hit If the taxpayers were compelled tn pay these damage: c,:ims. While they are anxious to hell t1t government put down disordc :. rary disapprove of the Black ana Tan ,eprisals and ate unwilling to pay f.r ,tne consequences of them.
 The Irish Times, the principal Un- ionist newspaper, demands that the government shall make . clear public statement "that the obligation to com- pensate for murder, arson and rob bery committed by the servcnts of the government is acknowledged by the government and will be promptly met"
 The government paid the bill of about ss,ooo,ooo for the damage suf- tered by the city of Dublin in the Easter week rebellion and this is pointed to as . percedent for simil- far action in the matter of Black and Tan reprisals. ,r ,is expected that the government will also be asked to pay for the dam |ags inflicted by the Sim Feipers to which swards amounting to s5.ooo,ooo sirsady have been made by county judges. Bssides there is . bill for Fl damage doas by oraaesaasa in Ulsta, Asvna.
