POPULAR SONG.

POPULAR SONG.
BY the fireside so cheerful
Sat n woman sad and fearful,
She was thinking Of the days that had
For her old man had departed
And had left her broke nhearted,
So she swabbed her lamps and heaved
n heavy sigh.
She was full Of deep detection
AT the faded recOllect tiOn
or the kitchen sink where side by side
they strOve,
For the bygone days were happy
And her spouse was bright e.
snappy
When he shifted the brew upon the
Kitchen stove,
She wiped "a tear away
And softly then did say:
CHO.
1 used 10 think you loved me when the
country had went dry,
used TO think your heart was fond
and true.
You hung around the kitchen with "A
lOvelight In your eye
And inhaled about keg Of old home
brew.
But now ] have discovered that your
heart IL but IA ounce
And the light Of love has vanished
from your face.
You do not care to hang around the
dear old kitchen since
You can buy II at the drug store
by the case.
IL is claimed that the average col
iege student gets no exercise out OF
football, bnt hare you ever seen
bunch of them celebrating famous

 The saving of the tree that crowned the Hill and marked the site of the first Congregational church was beau tiful and cOmmendatOry. Those in charge might have said, Ut is only maple, any way, and we will cut it down and dig up the roots, and set out another one some place, some time, when there is not so much dOing," but Romaine Tucker, an ex- pert in transplanting we'll grown trees, transplanted this one most painstakingly, and if it does not take root and thrive it will be the first failure in tree culture Mr Tucker has made so far in his expe1lenc4. It ws s interesting to the OctOgenerian at Maple Corner to watch the proceed lngs, and to see the sapling, that since the day it was set out has been within her line of vision and an ob- ject of interest, move gracefully down the slope to it's new environment. Of course there had been a great many interesting preliminaries, and a great many followed in getting settled, as IS inevitable after a moving. and meantime there were many memories Of those all now passed on, who par tlc1pated in the first planting, that it grew after a long struggle attested to the care with which it was dug up by Daniel Eldredge, who knew it would thrive despite the misgivings of most of the OnlOOkers who partici- pated in its resetting.

BELLS OF BUDDHA
Their Tones Vary With the
 Tastes of the People.
Continuous Symphony of TinklIno in Ranaoon and MandaIay-Japan-
 ese More Stern in Tone.

l The. bell is almost as characteristic a symbol Of:Buddhism as is the seated 1 figure Of Buddha himself. It varies, in the different Buddhist countries, with the temperament and tastes of the people. In Burma, where even Buddhism turns to sunshine and to prettiness and the towers of the tenn pies evapOrate in lace work and jewell ", the bells, glittering with precious stones, hang in clusters from the um- brellalike top of the pagOda spire and ring at their own sweet will. In the temple courts of RangoOn and Manda- lay there Is a continuous symphony of tinkling.. and chiming things dainty, casual, wayWard.
 But the bells of China and Korea and, those of Japan are more gran diOse and sober. Like the stained glass windows of European cathedrals, Japanese bells are storied records of their temples and their times. They bear inscriptions by famous poets and scholars; they are mOlded into wealth of symbolism. And around them cling, like the moss and flow CTS that have OvergrOwn the woodland BuddhaS of NikkO, legends and tales | and history that live on the lips of gen. | eratiOns who have dwelt in the l shadow of some great bell and whose lives have been uncOnSciOuSly attured to its grave and somber harmony. Yet, though the imagination of the ! people clings around it, the temple 1 bell seems to speak most elOquently from lonely places, from the heart of mOnastic woods, from heights to which i the cOntemplative may withdraw for meditation. It has none of the fa- miliar and sociable character of the occidental church bell. Though Chris tianity, like Buddhism, has under stood the value of the bell, the differ ence between the bells of East and West is typical of difference in the genius of the two faiths. In the cities of England and northern Europe the 1 bell is the first to speak out on any occasion of special significance to the people. It announces funerals, we'd dings, fires and wars. It is at its best in the expression of communal joy. The very method of ringing-in caril- Ions, chimes and joyous changes makes it seem a representation of many voices raised in a chorus of 1 gladnesS.
 The Buddhist bell has none of these social characteristics. It could hard ly quicken its deep tone to speak of Joy. It seems voice apart from tenn poral things, cOgnizant only of eternity and Nirvana. Yet on any occasion of general sorrow its accent-tranquil, remote, unhurried-may be immeas- urably consoling. An American who lived in Kobe while the epidemic of influenza was at it's worst often speaks of the comfort he felt in the sound of the temple bell from the hill. All day he saw the procession of the dead 1 pass his house and smoke of the ere matOries dimming the sky; but every night at nine o'clock the great bell spoke Out-serene and gracious on the evening air-and it's grave voice seemed to be saying: 'Fret not; for ak this passes. It is well."-Marjorie Latta BarstOW in Asia Magazine.

"LET's CO.," SOLDIER SLOGAN
Expert Declares the Phrase, So Popu- lar With the Troops, Did Much
 to Keep Up Morale.

The most Inspiring and, at the same time, the most popular slogan used by our troops during the World War is embraced in the unpretentiOus words Lets Co.," in the judgment of Col. Edward l.. Munson, chief of the morale branch, general staff of the army. Colonel MunSOn said:
 My conviction on this subject-a subject that is of real importance to students of military mOrale-is based on the almost unanimous verdict of those who served with. troops. re-en- forced by the judgment of many who have looked at the question from Oth- CT angles. The appeal Let's Go com pines all the necessary psychological elements of military slogan. :.
 'The slogan contains no word of no stern admOnitiOn, it does not impose itself upon the will of the nearer. It calls rather foE companion ship, for voluntary action and cOntri- button On the part of the soldier, for a concerteV movement prompted by mutual desire.
 My analysis may not be correct one, but correct or not, I am certain that Let's Go was used spontaneous ly under all circumstances and always with an encouraging response. Other slogans were adopted from time to time by various cOntingents of the ex- peditionary forces and units serving in this country, but none of them quite filled the place of the one now under discussion. Where do we go from here? was not an unusual sentence during the war and eye-witnesses tell us that the song by that name was sung quite cheerfully as the transport TuScania sank into the waters of the British channel. When do we eat?' 'WhO won the war?' and Where are the ships? were three sentences many times repeated by American soldiers. but they were usually used in a satir- ical vein and formed an outlet for the distinct and individual humOr of our troops, but for everyday use, in rest, or battle, the slogan Let's Go stands foremost as the strongest stimulus to mind and hence to bodily effort"

MUCH IS TULD BY PROVERBS
Household Sayings Throw Light on Characteristics of Social Groups
 Whence They Emanate.

It is commonplace to say that a nations moral code is revealed in its prOberbs; but it is less widely recOg- nized that prOverbiaI sayings throw light also upon the lOng-standing economic structure of a social group. A prOverb is not an individual Obser- vatiOn; it cOndenSeS the experience of a class, a sex, a caste. A large number record the accumulated eX. perience of the small peasant prOpr- etOr, his ceaselesS labor and petty saving and screWing. "While the sheep plates he loses a mOuthful."
 The economics of married life are often tersely laid bare.>s "A wooden mother Is better than a golden father (ShrOpShire) must be taken from the outlook of a wife who would be summed up in a national census as nome worker"
 "A rolling stone gathers no moss" says the wisdom of the staid British countryman, diligently making the best of his land by long and careful husbandry. By going and coming the bird builds it's nest' is the oppO- site point of view held by a Negro trader travelling backward and for ward through the African forest.

 Factory life, a modern growth everywhere, has not yet left it's mark upon the proverbial lore of any coun- try because 1t has not yet been fully assimilated as a mode of self-expres- sion.

The following resolutions were adopted at the regular meeting of Wolcott Chapter No. 91, o. E. S., May 12. The members of Wolcott chapter, No. 91, O. E. S., feel very deeply the loss of Sister Elsie Fisk. It is both a loss to the chapter, which Mrs. Fisk was always glad to serve, and it is a personal loss. Our Sisters manner towards us was invariably refined and pleasant. Her personality, gentle, pure, happy, loyal, appealed to all our hearts. Perhaps we did not fully realize it at the time, but we feel now that her presence among us was rich blessing, and we pray that in the heavenly world she too may receive as here she freely gave. To those who were dearest to her we extend our profound sympathy. May her memory be their support and guidance till they meet her in the other world.
