The Lone Pine It was in the mystic' twilight, When first 1 spied that tree, And almost like a ihumanebeing Did that pine seem to me. Standing on that hallo,w'd mound, Outlined against the sky; Appeared like some wary sentinel Whose watch had just drawn night. The tree in all its splendour, Was iblazoned by the sun, And every little autumn leaf Was a topaz, golden, brown. Its ever -swaying bra.nchee wide, Swept upwards toward the sky, Like arms in supplicating prayer And begging humbly. To be left thtis forever beautiful, And standing In that place, Witli all its height and slenderness, neauty, and easy grace. It Was in the purple twilight When firet 1 eaw that tree; Though other scenes may fade away, ,That. one, rentaine with me. , WPM MIXON" , • • • • • Two Calls Peace received two cells an Lions carnival night where motor- ists got into difficulty.

Dublin, Ontario, Learns History of Name Sake A volume has been received from the Secretary of the'Irish Tourist As- sociation. Dublin, Ireland, bearing the unique title, "A Book of Dublin." The various chapters make interesting reading and the illustrations are a work of art. The history of Dublin. Ireland, dates back more than one thousand years, but the records state that the first charter was issued in 1132. Dublin on the Liffey River is one of the most eharming cities in the world, its main thoroughfare be- ing O'Connell Street, which is con- sidered the 'nest beautiful street in Europe. The name Dublin iv ea n s "Dark Pool," so-called from the brown Liffey waters springing, from a sub- terranean peat bog. The Dublin which has emerged from the setting up of the Irish Free State is not the older gentler Dublin with the pathos of long striving unfulfilled. The new Dublin is rather a place that has put on its best clothes and begins to walk out for conscious adrairation. Even those who do not yet admire the color of these clothes at least are attracted by their cut. 'Under any circumetances, Dublin remains the capital city of all Ireland. . Mr. and Mrs. A.
