Messrs. Thornton Pleasant, Robert Burrell, assistant district attorney; Robert C. Greer, Arthur.D. Lyons, Francell Wright,

A LOVER~S REQUEST

Let my love be the soothing for that pain
That turns thy heart into a torturous pulse,
And let it seek solace not in vain

When thy need is most.

Let it be the shield to protect thee
From sorrow that sears the depths of men,
And let that same love be

_ Only what my heart can tend.

Let it have no display

That hides behind a fanfare of pretense; j
And let it have crystal truth to say

The yearnings it conceals in moments tense.

Let it be'the stepping stone to thy eternal goal

That permeates thy life in delicate hue;

And let it be the mirror reflecting thy soul

For in faze way only, will you know I LOVE YOUJay Vanleer.
