THE NEW AGE

When navies are forgotten And fleets are useless things, When the dove shall warm her bosom Beneath the eagle’s wings: When memory of battles At last is strange and old, When nations have one banner And creeds have found one fold; When the Hand that sprinkles midnight With its powdered drift of suns Has hushed this tiny tumtilt Of sects and swords and guns, Then Hate’s last note of discord In all God’s words shall cease, In the conquest which is service, In the victory;which is peace! —Frederick Lawrence Knowles.

Miss Evaline Kenton, of Mitchell, South Dakota, who has been visiting relatives and friends here went to kolcott today where she will vint with the family of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Parker, Mrs. Parker being h er* sister. Miss Kenton will return to Rensselaer before leaving for her western home.
