' What is this scrite and worry all about,\
This building up and tearing down
of things? i
I know a wood where birds fly in andt
out, 1
And the west wind sings. j
1
What of the sobs and hate words that 1
I hear, » 1
This shouting and mad barter in thel
street? I
I know r a calm hill where the stars
seem near
And the airs are sweet. J
What of the power that passes in a:
breath, t
This digging for the buried gatest
of Doom? 1
I know of a vale where echoes laugh ate
Death,
And the wild flowers bloom.
What of this learning, all this won-;
drous lore,
This making kites for winds to
break the string
l know the field where men have]
learned before
How the heart can sing.
Yet if I had not lived in strife and j
pain,
Nor shed hot tears, nor learned of
hate at last,
I could not lose so well the quiet plain
And the skies so vast.
Had I not learned how power soon ]
grows old,
Nor gathered from the lor eof every!
land,
I could not scorn the things of dress
and gold
For a grain of sand.
—Glenn Ward Dresbach, in Ainslee’s
Magazine.

PRAYER FOR LOVED
ONES AT FRONT.
The efficacy of prayer for those at
the front, says a writer in the Wide
World magazine, is nowhere more firm
ly believed in than in Brittany. Many
a time, during my business wander
ings in Finisterre and the Morbihan,
I come across mothers, wives and
sweethearts, praying in churches and
at roadside shrines for the safety of
their loved ones. One summer after
noon I came across a peasant woman
kneeling at a wayside cross, and so
beautiful a picture did she make that
I could not refrain from photograph
ing her. She was wholly unconscious
that her portrait was being taken, and
I had not the heart to disturb her at
her devotions as she intently told her
beads and murmured hbr appeal. At
tached to the cross I noticed soma
children’s bonnets and scraps of cloth
ing, and on inquiry in the district was
told that these belonged to sick chil
dren and invalids for whom the in
habitants prayed.

s -v A noted Cincinnati au- 1
thority discovered a new

a few cents from any drug

You simply apply a few
drops of freezone upon a
J tender corn or painful cal
lus and instantly the sore-
U^ —;"T ness disappears, then
II || shortly you will find the
i corn or callus so loose
1 V —N!||l that you can lift it off with
'[ a,!' fingers.
' iJy No P a * n> n °t a
s*s soreness, either when ap-
Jvr plying freezone or after

It J irritate the skin.
> Hard corns, soft corns
or corns between the toes,
also toughened calluses just shrivel up
and lift off so easy. It is wonderful!
It works like a charm. Try it!
Women should keep freezone on
their dressers and never let a corn
ache twice. adv
