We can do no drawer or better tn no

Our lives are not laid out in vast,

Reclproc ty, constant and equal,

but the c%onsequents of a vast tangle of
antecedents in all time before.
In these days of ebb and quicksand,

blind to the rose-color in our lives to
be forced to acknowledge our existence
i'll the imperishable canvas of history;
well for us. SO intensely pract, cal as we
are, to be compelled there, at least, to
confront the romantic and the heroic.
Interesting Experiments.
