"W e may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, We may
live without heart;
We may live without friends, We may live

But civilized man cannot live without

He may live without books-what is knowl-
edge but grieving;
He may live without hope-what Is hope
but dtCtying;
He may live without love-what is passion
but piniug;
Bat where is the man that can live without
dining"

up his voice and wept, and would not

saved to drive with sticks and stones the
noisy beast from the scene OF his lament
But drive Jack would no,. The donkey
remembered how he and his beloved
companion had forged together from
handy clothes lines: had in friendship
masticated fence posts and sections of
barb wire, and lad contentedly nibbled
such tender lnorsels as old gunny sacks
and cast-off' overalls, or had assuaged
keen hunger with old boots and oyster
cans, and could not be induced to leave
the spot. Then the cruel master beat
him terribly but still his grit nerved him
10 obstinacy. The master felled two OF
three large trees on his back but to no
purpose. Finally, the master in despair
took the pack off and left him.
The last seen of him he was eating the
cropping of quartz ledge and weeping
for lis friend.
