While from behind a wall of skirts, are peeping, Her cowardly sons who bring her shame and woe. Oh mothers dear! you taught your boys of honor; To be brave through life to love their country's flag Yet Liberty they shun, when war's upon her, And the Stars and Stripes to them are but a rag. Your tears and pleadings cause your boy's surrender, To the foes, who trample freedom in the dirt; And the world scorns him whose loyalty won't tender, As the cur who hides behind a woman's" skirt. Fair maidens all! how can you love a fellow, Who has shown he is a coward and a knave? While brave men who are free from streaks of yellow, Guard the flag we love, and which our fathers gave. Your selfishness has made your sweetheart hated, And in time your love for him will fade away; For you will curse the day you ever mated With the man you hide behind your skirt to-day.

You wives who force your husbands to be traitors, K4 4 YA I r- too; Wrong the man you love, and hurt his children 1 how to successfully use diviner forces Continued from last week "Where over 75 out of every hundred boys brought to jail returned to jail within five years, generally a worse marauder and society a worse victim, under the old system of violence: now over 90 out of a hundred turn out well. "And it was even so in a very lar'e measure with my friend Thomas Tsn the waiden of Colorado's penitentiary. He began nearly 10 year ago to use the same methods with men His work in the road camps is a classic of what can be done with men without the old forces of violence. He came in to tell me once that in a road camp of convicts where not even a firearm was permitted, they had to get a gun. Almost alarmed, I asked him why.

he said, the natives along the road got to robbing the convicts and we had to get a gun to keep them "I think there should be expert examiners or 'understanders' of socalled criminals in every court. No man, woman or child should be sent to a place of artificial restraint unless his mental and physical status maybe fully understood by the warden. What we call the feeble minded, the perverted, need special treatment. But we must have better means of sepaiating them, of understanding them. "I heartily approved the work of my friend Thomas Molt Osborne but I yit-dicted just the troubles he had, Still it was a great work and its influence will be lasting.

If it had faults, as it was claimed, that was nothing against its fundamental soundness. "I have the written statement of a Governor of a great State and the warden of the peditentiary there that 75 out of every hundred men in the State prison had been in jail before. Yet a thing like that starts up no excitement over the jail being failure. "Some unfortunate things have happened in some of the prisons where some form of the trust and honor or self-governing system existed, but an investi gation has not disproved the fundamental basis of this work. But for every one such complaint I can furnish 10 under the old system.

And generally the trouble was not due to the new spirit and work. There is a type of mind that demands perfection of a thing if it is new. And if not that is the test of its failure. "But no power on earth can stop the progress of the world in its better un. derstanding of men and those forces by which men are most successfully ruled.

His loving form and face are missing, Momories just as fresh today, For out hearts have not ceased aching, Since the hour he passed away. In our dreams we still can see him, His blue eyes shining bright, We should not be broken hearted, What God does we know is right. He is now among the angels, And their joys no one can tell; Left behind him many aching heart.

4 Little Sweetheart By Leroy Oscar Howe Cook, Company 137th Infantry SUNDAY AFTERNOON Rev. Allen, Minister Rev. Allen of the colored Baptist church of the city came out to the institution Sunday afternoon and "preached to the boys. His text was taken from Hebrews 4:3. He preached an interesting sermon and the boys took deep interest in his efforts.

His services are held in the Chapel the third Sunday afternoon of each month. All are invited to attend. in the prisons. The lesson will hold good as to dealing with people everywhere. The warring nations themselves as they see how the brutalities of violence in war bring out the bestiality in men will, in these lessons from prison reform find something to follow when the forces of violence against violence will have spent their strength and the still small voice that yet survives brings back to earth the higher force of love." Christian Science Monitor.

Honorable Arthur Capper Little sweetheart, we have parted, From each other soon must go, Many miles may separate us In this world of caro and woe. Though I treasure every promise. That you made me in the Lane, And remember I will meet you, When the Violets bloom again. How this parting gives me sorrow, None but I will ever know, Though I leave here in the morning, My heart is your's where e're I go-. my peerless, peerless darling.

When from you I am far away; Do not listen to the story, That some evil tongue might say. For I am true and true forever. As long as life within me lasts, To the promise that I made you, You're the one that I love best. Will you say that you will love me. Will you give me all your heart.

Will you give me lovers welcome. When we meet or when we part. Little sweetheart we have parted No more treasure in the lain. Little sweetheart we can never be True lovers again. For there's something In the future That will bring it home to you, And will show you in a moment.

You were false while I were true. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR G. M. Cox, Leader The Christian Endeavor Society held their regular meeting Sunday evening in the Chapel, Services were called at 7:45 P. M.
