THE SUGAR IN THE CUP
May 27 is the ninetieth birthday of;
Julia Ward Howe. Discussing her ?j
pi rience in the evenin* of Hte. wK ,
, magaxinee writer recently, this
grand woman said: ' The deeper 1
drink of the cup of life the sweeter
U grows ? the sugar is all at the bot
tom."
There is beauty and a wealth o
uuth in that sentiment when it finds
expression by such a woman. We may ,
well believe that her life is rich In
> wee is? in the perfect Joy of service,
vigor oils ami long continued. No mor (
:Hu?trlot? example of what high
thinking and altruistic purpose can ac
complish for a woman, or indeed for
any Indvldual. can be found among
living men and women. No flgu?
commands a greater share of the Na
tional reverence than Julia Ward
I lowe.
During the last half century there
has been no movement that was up
lifting which has not drawn some in
spiration from her Christian genius.
W!th a spirit of genUeness that hasi
always been truly and lovingly feral- 1
r.lne. Julia Ward Howe has ever man
ifested what we may best term feral
i (ne chivalry. With high poetic Ins- 1
t-nct she has given brave and ringing1;
? iterances to the Nation that inspired,
the militant spirit to the suppression
.,f wrong and the abolishment of In- 1
Justice. It was all a great, broad ?
manifestation of love for the world
of a desire to serve the world, and
with the spiritual and Intellectual fac- j
ultles that made that service count, j
Sweet Indeed should be the bottom i
of the cup:? Portland Telegram.

MY SECRET GARDEN.
I HAVE a recrrt carden of my own
Where none may enter, for X keep
the key.
What wondrous seeds therein I oft
have town!
What strange dream birds have nested
there and flown!
What perfect flowers have blossomed
there full blown!
But not an eye save mine shall over ?e?
My secret garden where I walk alone.
The orchard trees nro hung with fruits
most rare
Within this garden where I walk alone.
And sometimes on the warm, tlower scent
ed air
One hears the pipes of Pan low llutlnc
there.
A burden soft the dream bees' hum doth
bear
Here In the secret imrden of my own.
Where for a little apace I hide from care.
