TODAY

! stood alone on the edge of the world,
In the swirl of the shadowing clouds;
My eyes were dimmed by the vapory mists
That ever the future shrouds;
Finaty closed on the dying past,
Infinity beckoned me on;
Some part of me lived in the days to be,
And part in those that are gone;
Around me measured a spaceless void
Exchanging, silent-dead-
Surcharged my pulsing, troubled heart
With unknown unseen dread;
] knew not whence l came-nor why
What power had bid me live;
If some hidden purpose served
What had l still to give?
Oblivion claims all yesterdays
Tomorrow may not be;
And solving not life's mystery
What use is life to me?
Then to my questioning soul there came
swift thoughts sparkling ray
have wandered alone to the edge of the world
To find and use-TODAY!

For the fifth successive year st. James will
stage a music week with practically every organ
ization in the city cooperating This is won
derful thing for city the size of st. James to
do, and that it does it year after year shows the
value of the thing-only the worth while thing
lives, especially when it is something that
quires the planning and the hard work that
such a program does. This southern Minnesota
town may well be proud of its fine effort to
make its citizens appreciative Of good music
and to give them the pleasure which come
only with an understanding of music. Much
credit for this effort goes to Madame Gertrude
de Rochlenge who for many years has given st.
James wonderful training in many respects. And
always assisting Madame Gertrude and backing
her up in every conceivable way is Mrs. VIII
Curtis who leader among club women has
done more than her required bit in aiding this
good work. That all organizations unite shows
a spirit of cooperation well worth the emulation
of other towns and other causes.

Gutzon Borglum, the great sculp-
tor, has gone to the Black Hills of South
Dakota, where he is to carve on the side
of Rushmore Mountain gigantic figures
in granite of Washington, Lincoln,
Roosevelt and Jefferson. Now Borglum
may be wonderful artist, but after he
has completed his work Rushmore
Mountain will be just four stone pic
lures less beautiful than before. No
man living can add to the natural
beauties of the Black Hills as they stand,
and it is mistake to try it. Rather,
keep them as Nature nodded them. To
get away from mans handiwork, to seek
the beauties of nature unspoiled in such
spots as the Black Hills of South Dakota
is the one big joy of outdoor touring.
We would not walk a mile" to see one
of Borglum's carvings, yet we would
with utmost pleasure travel eight hum
dred miles to see Rushmore Mountain IN
the Black Hills, left as Nature made it.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT Heaven"

For the closing week of the National
Theater Players third Summer sea-
son. the patrons of this troupe have
selected, by popular vote, the Austin
Strong comedy drama, seventh
Heaven" a story of love in the Paris
elums and of war on the French front.
John Warner, who made a pronounced
hit in the leading male role at the
National last year has been brought
back to play the part of Chico, who
loved Diane with an ardor that the
wounds of war and wars enforced
absences could not diminish. Charlie
Hampden will again have his favorite
role as Boul, the old cab driver. Leona
Powers will be Diane, and Kathryn
Givney will be her doperidden sister.
The locale of Seventh Heaven" is
A squalid district of Paris frequented
by thieves and other derelicts who
border life's seamy side. Chico rescues
Diane from the expressions of her
sister and, though his contempt for
both of them is at first supreme, he
gradually relaxes toward the little
mite, who is kicked about by the
denizens of the district. Pity turns
to affection, and affection to love; then
the war.
The piece is filled with characterize
tfons of an unusual order and of a
type not familiar on the stage.
