THE PINEIIUttST OUTLOOK
G
The Dawn of Peace.
Tut off, put off your mail, O King,
And beat your brands to dust I
Your hands must learn a surer grasp,
Your hearts a better trust.
Oh, bend aback the lance's point,
And break the helmet-bar;
A noise is in the morning wind,
But not the note of war.
Upon the grassy mountain paths
The glittering hosts Increase,
They come t They come ! How fair their feet !
They come who publish peace.
And victory, fair victory,
Our enemies are ours !
For all the clouds are clasped in light,
And all the earth with llowers.
Aye, still depressed and dim with dew :
But wait a little while,
And with a radiant deathless rose
The wilderness shall smile.
And every tender, living thing
Shall feed by stream of rest ;
Nor lambs shall from the Hock be lost,
Nor nursling Trom the nest.

Shopkeeper Created a Xew Stnii.n;.
A mysterious thing happened one
night recently. According to ('race
church clock it was very nearly the
hour, when graveyards yawn. Well, the
clock had scarcely struck 12 when a
couple of men were up against an
electric light post somewhere between
Matthewson and Dorianee Sts on West
minister. One was armed with a paint
pot and the other with a big brush.
They tarried but a minute, and then
disappeared in the darkness around a
corner.
What had they been doing? Painting
a section of the post white 'in imitation
of the trolley company's "little white
post !" Was ever such impudence heard
of?
The next morning the inotormen were
amazed at the sight. Another white
post had been added to the list another
place where the brake must henceforth
be applied. Woman shoppers, too, .ap
preciated the addition to the ranks of
white posts, and they patronized it liber
ally. Every car hound toward Olney-
ville or Elmwood had to stop. In the
twinkling of an eye the latent trolley
station had bounded into popularity.
The joke of the wholeallair is, of course,
on the trolley company, which did not
cause that post to be painted white. It
had nothing to do with the midnight
prowlings of the two artists. The coin
pany discountenances the new post em
phatically. It is a bogus white pot.
All the same, the women shoppers in
