A Treasury of English Prose

"These wait upon the shore of death,
and watt unto him to draw near, wish
ing above all others to see his star that
they might be led to his place; wooing
the remorseless Sisters to wind down the
watch of their life, and to break them off
before the our."-Bacon.
"Methusalem, with all his hundreds of
years, was but a mushroom of a nights
growth to this day; and all the four Mon
arches, with all their thousands of years,
and all the powerful Kings, and all the
beautiful Queens of this world, were but
as a bed of overs, some gatherer at six,
some at sewn, some at eight-all in one
morning in respect of this day.-John
Dome.
"When all is done, human life is, at
the greatest and best, but like forward
child, that must be played with and hui
mored little to keep it quiet till it falls
asleep, and then the care is over."-Sir
William Temple.
"And again the sun blinks out, and the
poor sower is cvasting his grain into the
furrow, hopeful he that the Zodiacs and
the far Heavenly Horologes have not fall
tered; that there will be yet another sum-
mer added for us and another harvest"
Carlyle.
"To what port are we bound? Who
knows? There is no one to tell us but
such weather tossed mariners as ourselves,
whom we speak as we pass, or who have
hoisted some signal, or Dated to us some
letter in a bottle from far" Emerson.

Diamond Notes

St. Louis fans have quit agitating a
trade of George Sisler for Ty Cobb.
Bin McAvoy, who has been coaching
baseball and basketball teams at Lafa-
yette, has resigned
Some of the holdout ball players may
think they are worth half as much as
Hornsby, $s5,000.
The Southern association will open the
season on April IS, one day later than
the two major leagues.
Manager Fred Mitchell of the Chicago
Cubs is enthusiastic about his pitching
staff for the coming season.
One reason why ball player seldom
makes a good musician is because he
can't get any further than the "do-do."
Everything comes to him who waits.
Maybe that is why so many are picking
the Cleveland Indians to cop this year?
Walter Pipp has his job at first with
the Yanks waiting for him. The former
Catholic university fence buster knows it,
too.
Louis Guisto has notified owner Jim
Dunn of the Cleveland club that he would
like to play in the Pacific Coast league
next season.
For the first time in its history the Mil
waukee club of the American Association
is now owned entirely by native Milwau-
keeans.
Cleveland fans believe that this is
Cleveland's year and decline to change
the view because the Yankees grabbed
Babe Ruth.
Manager George Stallings of the Braves
declares there is no chance of John Nc
Graw landing Rabbit Maranville for the
Giants.
Hans Lobert, veteran major Lacquer,
has returned to the states from Havana
and has resumed his duties as baseball
coach at West Point.
Says an expert to manager: "What
are your spitball hurlers going to develop
after this year?" Reply: "Mostly wild
pitches, I guess"
Pat Flaherty, vetran southpaw hurlel
and manager, probably will land the job
of pilot of the st. Joe team, the place
made vacant by Cozy Dolan's signing
with the Cubs.
The Yankees have some pitchers they
could pass over in trade, but the one:
they want to lose are not wanted by riva
| magnates.

Eleven years ago the late Rear Admiral

Dreams

The old man sits
In his old arm chair
And dreams of days long gone.
His day dream fits
With his thinning hair
For the past he dwells upon.
The young girl dreams
Of the joyous day
When her knight comes riding by.
The pale moon beams
In her heart hold sway
AS her hopes 60 soaring high.
The young mans soul
Firmly vows and yearns
As he dreams of worlds to win,
That goodly toll
OF the gold he earns
Shall enrich himself and kin.
Thus dreams are made
From the thoughts we weave,
As we wend our way through life.
The game is played,
Be it fail or 'chieve,
Be it tranquil days or strife.

May Day American Day.

Plans have been announced by the Ma

of May by parades and other patriotic
observances to offset the demonstrations
usually made on that day by radical or
CARNATIONS. Prominent places will be
given to organizations of war veterans,
while fraternal orders, business concerns
and labor unions will also be enlisted.
Many governors and mayors have prom

Visit Graves of Hero Dead

The British church army has organized
a series of personally conducted visiting
parties to soldiers graves in France. The
sight of widows, fathers and mothers,
some bent with age, burdened with floral
tributes to "the glorious dead" starting
out from Charing Cross or Victoria sta
tons on their sad pilgrimage is hardly
less depressing than were the scenes at
tending the arrival of the hospital trains
in war times. Through the Church army,

My Valentine

Long years have l waited darling,
For the day when thou wilt be,
Something more than entertainer,
More than friend to me:
Thou art all my fond heart wishes,
Thou art all my fond heart wishes,
Say dear heart, wilt thou be mine?
Give to me love unchanging,
Be my Valentine.
Did l hear you whisper darling,
That you always loved me best?
That you fain would ever share wit
me
This life at my behest?
o, for thee my heart beats wildly!
All my love is wholly thine,
Give to me love unchanging!
Be my Valentine.
Yes, twas that blest declaration,
Of heart that truly loves,
Cheered by known reciprocation,
Like as Doves;
o, how sweet the notes resounded,
Dearest heart, I will be thine
Give to me thy love unchanging,
Pm thy valentine.
So today we sail life's ocean,
In our precious little barque;
Made of love and ties so sacred,
Just human Ark:
Joyful hearts for e'er are welded,
Happy souls today entwine,
Blest in ours, love unchanging,
Each valentine.

The Candle Tree

Against the sunsets golden glow,
The rose of early dawn,
The great horse chestnut spreads its
boughs
And shadows half the lawn,
And yearly when the thrushes come
And robins nest and sing,
1t sets thousand candles up
In honor of the spring.
White tapers formed of blossoms
sweet,
With every waxen bloom
Tipped with little crimson fame
And heavy with perfume,
The incense on an altar green
Where worship bird and bee
And everything that loves the spring;
Behold! the candle tree.
