DID HE THINK OF HER

1H ID he think of her when he struck the blow ~ Of her who sits where the light is dimp Of her who, crushed by intending woe.
 Would willingly give her soul for himp Fiis victim fell and was freed from care
 And ceased to suffer and ceased to moan; But Sf1E lives on to remain aware
 hat his blow fell not on the dead alone. Did he think of her when he raised his glass Of her who weeps through the lonely nightp Y Or her who prays as the moments pass
 And trembes who was haunted micbtp Did he pause to think, ere his lips were pressed On the tainted mouth and the painted cheek Of her who rocked him upon her breast
 When hls heart was pure and his hands were weakp Oh, he pties her nowl He has time at last :, 70 glve her thought but she weeps awayl Tier heart IS crushed and her joys are past, .s Tier hopes slain where his victim lav And. whether the law Is to be denied
 Or whether if punishment shall be felt. Her soul has already been crucified- HEX breast was struck by the blow he dealt

 An even larger quantity thar 200 gallons of noH-alcoholic beverages may be made of fruit juices for per sonal consumption of the owners family or guests. if he will file no tice of his intention and give q nom inal bond.
 Reports that the prohibition chiefs might issue an crder ending the rul- ing now in effect, if not entirely nul- lifyng it. were denied officially. It was cxploined that home wine mak- ing situation had been surveyed but that it had been decided not to in terfere at this time.
