A plant which tyrants call a poisonous WBt , Hsj lived sines ever mankind hs4 Its birth. , Though crushed and tramped by ths feet of war. , Or burned by flams or cut off close to earth. Its roots deep down In the soil whence man was formed lias grown again by every peasant's hearth. . On England's rocky shores In days of old Its stunted growth denied both sun and rain. Kind hand! transplanted It to kindlier soli. Where It might bloom and flourish once again; But now 'twas crowded by such hearty growth The hope that It might bloom seemed till In vain. Once more 'twas lifted from the parent soil And carried far across the stormy sea; Watered by tears and warmed by human love. Proudly It grows where all the world may sea . . .!' It bloom the sweetest man has aver known Red, Whlta and Blue, the Flower of Liberty. . THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO (Second Prize.) Long ago a band of fearless Pilgrims. Leaving home and friends behind them, turned their faces west. Just a free, unhampered right to love and serve their maker, . This alone their quest. Tear by year the magic of their love wrought wonders. And the God tbey sought for heard them pray. Listened when they knelt together, hope ful, reverent, trusting, rarenta of our first Thanksgiving day. Anxious hours and troubled days sped by them. A hundred years stilt - found them un afraid. . Axes ewlngtng. candles flickering, field ' a-bloomtng. Tolling on. their sons and daughters prayed. - Highways, byways, homes and fields. a-plenty! love and freedom! Ex-ery man a king! tUppy children! ""God high In his heaven"! Wonder thou the angels sing? t O'er the rlesming world dim Pilgrims' spirits hover. Listening to the murmur of their chil dren's weal and woe. o the spirits smile T (Ah else The Filgrlm Father failed three hundred years ago. . Omaha Walking Club.
