THE ISLES OF GREECE BY LORD BYRON The impetuous Byron, all on fire with his enthusiasm for the cause of Grecian independence when that land of story was attempting to shake off the Moslem yoke, as has already been told in this series,—wrote much that is destined to live while time lasts. The extract here given from one of his poems ranks among the most impassioned of his utterances in behalf of Grecian freedom. The poem abounds in historic allusions which will be understood readily by the classical scholar. Sappho, the Greek poetess mentioned in the poem, lived about 600 B. C., whilst the poet Anacreon flourished about a century later. The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece! Where burning Sappho loved and sung,— Where grew the arts of war and peace,— Where Pelos rose, an* 1 Phoebus sprung! Eternal summer gilds them yet; But all, except their sun, is set. The Scian and the Teian muse. The hero's harp, the lover's lute, Have found the fame your shores re fuse; Their place of birth alone is mute To sounds which echo further west Than your sires' "Islands of the Blest." The mountains look on Marathon — And Marathon looks on the sea; And musing there an hour alone, I dreamed that Greece might still be free; For, standing on the Persian's grave, I could not deem myself a slave. A king sat on the rocky brow Which looks o'er sea-born Salamis; And ships by thousands lay below. And men and nations: all were his! He counted them at break of day; And, when the sun set, where were thevf And where are they? and where art thou, My country? On thy voiceless shore The heroic lay is tuneless now; The heroic bosom beats no more! And must thy lyre, so long divine, Degenrate into hands like mine! • ♦»«•♦« Must we but weep o'er days" more blessed ? Must we but blush f—Our fathers bled— Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylae. What! silent still? and silent all? v Ah! no; —the voices of the dead Sound like a distant torrent's fall. And answer, "Let one living head, " " ' .... - - '• > " a\KRISBTTRG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 13, 1915. But one arise,—we come, we come!" "Tiß but the living who are dumb.

Darlington and Plana for Cam paign Discussed An interesting and important suf frage meeting was held yesterday at the home of Bishop and Mrs. James Henry Darlington iu answer to the call issued by Mrs. Jo'hn Oenslager, city chairman of the suffragists. The meeting was opened 'by Bishop Darlington, who spoke on the necessity of having the women of Harrisbur'g combine, at this time, and work for the 'betterment of civic and moral con ditions throughout the State. Without organization, he said, their influence would not amount to anything. At the close of the Bishop's remarks, 'Mrs. Frank Roessing, president of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Associa tion, spoke on the State-wide situation and outlined the campaign which the State Suffrage Association is making to secure the passage of the suffrage amendment at the polls this fall. It was voted at. the meeting to form a campaign committee of fifty, open local headquarters and flash the' slogan, *'\otes for Women" froip a huge elec tric sign in Market square. Mrs. Oen slager stnted that money had already 'been raised for the erection of the sign and that "Votes for Women" would soon be'emblazoned from the top of one of the 'buildings along the square. Local suffragists have arranged to bring Miss Rose Livingston, of New York,, and 'Mrs. Myron B. Vorce, of Cleveland, for two special meetings to be held in Technical High school on AifTil 30. Miss Livingston is known throughout the country as the "Angel of Chinatown ' because of her splendid work for the past seven years in re claiming the unfortunate'victims of commercialized vice in New York's oriental slums. Convinced that the white slave traffic will never be abolish ed until women have the vote, she is devoting a portion of her time as a speaker to each of the four big east ern campaign States that are to vote on equal suffrage this fall.

E. E. Lauver Has .Equipped Many Handsome New Homes W. E. E. Lauver, 2230 Sixth street, lias secured the contract for the lighting fixtures in the beautiful new homes that j are uow being completed by Mr. George j A. Shreiner ut Seventeenth and Forster streets, which have been built from the English half tone designs. The lighting fixtures are made u]> from original draw ings, to match the architecture. .lie also has the contract for the lighting work for the modern homes be ing completed by Weaver & Stewart ut Nineteenth ami Market streets and those by the Mac Williams Construc tion Company at Fifth and Camp streets. All the lighting effects are made up special for these buildings of the best materials, And none have fix tures of like design. Some of the build ings have already been sold and a few remain for sale at low prices and on easy terms. Mr. Lauver makes a specialty of or iginal designs, and his work is in a number of the best homes in this city. He has one of the most complete show rooms this side of Philadelphia stocked with the best quality goods of the latest design, finest mechanical workmanship and quality, which is the best asset in his line. He also has a special department where the cheaper lines, or so-called stock goods, are displayed, but none so cheap as to be worthless as are some goods in this line which are flooding the country now. and are sold on price only. Even the critics are often deceived on worthless finishes and materials, by a good-looking imitation. Builders of good homes as well as those wanting the cheaper lines would do well to con sult him and visit his show room before placing their orders. With his many years' experience he is yet on every job personally, to see that' every detail is carried out. For further reference, ask any customer whom has tried him.— Adv.

These figures show how ex pensive it is to delay Dia mond purchases.
