♦ THE LILY OF YARROW. ♦
■Deep in the heart of the forest the
f lily of Yarrow is growing;
Blue is its cup as the sky, and with
mystical odour o’erflowlng;
Faintly it falls through the shadowy
glades where the south wind is
blowing.
Sweet are the primroses pale and the
violets after a shower; ,
Sweet are the borders of pinks and
the blossoming grapes in the
bower;
Sweeter by far is the breath of that
far-away woodland flower.
Searching and strange in its sweetness,
it steals like a perfume en
chanted,
Under the arch of the forest, and all
who perceive it are haunted, i
Seeking and seeking forever, till sight
of the lily is granted. (
Who can describe how is grows, with
its chalice of lazuli leaning.
Over a srystalline spring, where the i
ferns and the mosses are green
ing?
Who can imagine its beauty, or utter ,
the depth of its meaning?
i
Calm of the journeying stars and re
pose of the mountains olden, (
Joy of the swift-running rivers, and ,
glory of sunsets golden,
Secrets that cannot be told in the heart
of the flower are holden.
1
Surfely to see it is peace, and the (
crown of a life-long endeavor; ,
Surely to pluck it is gladness—but
they who have found it can never
Tell of the gladness and peace; they 1
are hidden from our vision for- i
ever.
Twas but a moment ago that a com- '
rade was wandering near me; '
Turning aside from the pathway he
murmured a greeting to cheer i
me,—
9 lien he was lost in the shade, and I (
called but he did not hear me. ,
.Why should I dream he is dead and :
bewail him with passionate sor
row?
Surely I know there is gladness in
r.nuing the lily of Yar’ow:
He has discovered it first, and per
haps I shall find it tomorrow.
—Henry Van Dyke.

on natives by Belgian and British

brought about reforms. In 1913 he
became actively identified with the org

teers. He was in the United States
when the war began and addressed an
open letter to the Irish press advising
Irishmen to remain neutral. In Octo

thence to Berlin, when came the news
that startled the wmrld—Casement
was plotting what his country looked
upon as high treason. His friends,
recallig his years of service in Africa
and South America, claimed for him
that the tropical sun had unbalanced
him mentally. Casement was born on

TAX LAW IS SAFE
• IN TORSE NOW
ATLANTA, ua., Aug. 3.—ls the
I house of representatives ever gets a
: shot at the bill to repeal the state of
■ Georgia’s tax equalization act, which
is the only thing that stands between
the state treasury and virtual bank-
• ruptcy, the act will hit tne soapy
• chutes.
Sentiment against the act, that is in
the lawmaking body, was proven yes
terday by the action of the senate in
passing a bill to repeal it by a vote of
1 30 to 7, which is the largest majority
■ any measure has received in the sen
i ate during the present session.
A majority of the members of the
> house have committed themselves in
i writing to repeal the act, and the only
i thing that prevents the house from
I passing the senate bill is the fact that
i its advocates cannot get it on the cal
’ endar, which requires a three-fourths
i vote. If the bill awaits a vote in its
; regular order, it will never be reached
■ at the present session.
The tax equalization act has increas
i cd the taxable values of the state ot
i Georgia by more than one hundred and
1 fifty million dollars. If the act is re-
■ pealed, this increase will vanish. Al
l ready the state is $200,000 behind on
i 1915 appropriations, and will finish
: 1916 SIOO,OOO behind. Appropriations
I aggregating $500,000 are now pending
, in the legislature, and if passed they
i will run the deficit to $600,000 at the
i close of the year. Added to this will
I be $225,000 to supply a deficit in the
i pension fund next year, making the
states total deficit in the neighbor-

To repeal the tax act and wipe off
values amounting to $150,v00,000 io
$200,000,000 would be to throw the
treasury into the quick-sands up to its
neck, and the only possible hope of ex
tricating the state from its floating
debt would be to issue additional
bonds.
