Magic
To the tune of a rippling spring
A fairy danced one night.
And by magical force did bluebells
ring,
The moon was her only light.
Her filmy robe of snowy white,
Swirled round her comely form
As she twirled thru swaying flowers
so bright,
And mocked at the dawning moon.
Mock as she would, the moon would
steal
Her rapturous joy away,
The horizon brightened up with zeal
Bringing on another day
—Betty Loren
Lonesome Trees
The snow is falling softly down,
A blanket for the sleeping town.
Il covers every barren spot,
Comforts every vacant lot.
The naked Inn's who once had
friends,
Who told their secrets to the winds
Now began to sway and sigh
Their only friends were snow and
sky.
While the grasses underneath their
feet
Quite contcntly went to sleep,
Settled down to quiet dreams
Of (lowers, lakes and bubbling
streums. —Betty Loren

MT. ZION BAPTIST PROGRAM
The B. Y. P. U. gave a very in
teresting program Sunday evening
when group three under the leader
ship of Mrs. Viola Miller gave a
playlet entitled “The Cross." The
play was very good and i think ev
erybody present was deeply affected.
A large cross stood on the altar and
the members of group three marched
up the aisles two abreast to the al
tar singing “The Old Rugged Cross,"
with Miss Evelyn Johnson as solo
ist. The scene at the cross, with
Mrs. Miller taking the roll of indif
ference, was how the many follow
ers of the Cross who had faith and
had found strength, turned indiffer
ence into hope, love and faith. And
the lesson gained sitting there was
that if we live a life of service for
the Master, we too, might cherish
the old rugged cross.

The death of Ernie Schaaf, re
cently, was one of the greatest mis
fortunes that has happened since
the death of Frankie Campbell—es
I>eeinlly since the chief medical ex
aminer, Dr. Charles Morris, New
York, revealed in his final autopsy
that the death did not result direct
ly from the blows from Camera.
Though there are far less casualties
in this six>rt than there are in foot
ball and several other sports, the
enemies of the manly art of self de
fense always take a series of raps
at the profession when such a mis
fortune occurs.
I HOW --==
PANAMA WAS A STATE Off
THE COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC.—
The Roosevelt administration dick
ered with Colombia in 1903 for a
lease upon the canal site, and defi
nite terms were offered the Colom- »
blan government. The bill which
had authorized the negotiations
provided that in the event of fail
ure to obtain the Panama route
the government should discuss
term's for a canal through Nic
aragua.
Perhaps through fear of having
the United States as a neighbor, or
perhaps because it felt the terms
were not sufficiently attractive, the
Colombian congress declined to
ratify the proposed treaty and ad
journed on October 31, 1903.
Panama, counting on the canal
to make it once more a place of
world importance, had visions of
its anticipated prosperity being
handed over to Nicaragua. On No
vember 3 the municipal council of
the city of Panama proclaimed the
state a republic. Colombia sent a
small force of troops into Panama,
but these were promptly made pris
oners, and there was no bloodshed.
Tlie United States landed marines
to protect the isthmian railroad,
and with unseemly haste recognized
(he republic of Panama on Novem
ber 6. On December 18 a treaty
was signed leasing the Canal Zone
to this country.
For this privilege of occupation
the United States paid $10,000,000
outright, and pays a rental of $250,
000 annually so long as the occu
pation continues.
Early Ascetism
The earliest of the "Pillar Saints’1
was Simon Styliies, wiio in 420 in
vented a new kind of uscetlcism pro
fessing a desire to do public penance
nnd make vicarious atonement for oth
ers’ sins. Accordingly, he built a pil
lar 18 feet high and 3 feet wide at
the summit. This he eventually raised
to 00 feet high and 0 feet broad.
There he lived for 37 years. Ilis
example was widely followed by
a succession of hermits, who, however,
died out before the beginning of the
Thirteenth century.
