The Hand for Me,

The hand that lends enchantment to
The harp-strings may be fair;
The hand that woos the sweet guitar
And makes the music there
May be a slender one and soft.
And beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts is
The little hand for me!
The hand that is ablaze with gems
May be the hand for you;
For some one else the hand that sweed,s
The ivory keys may do;
The hand that goes with millions oft
Is beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts Is
The little hand for me!
My Besse's arms are soft and round,
And she is plump and fair;
She's been away to cooking school
And learned some wonders there
Oh, others hands may be az small
And beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts Is
The little hand for me!

For reverent praise and prayer.
Praise for our Great Creator,
Prayer for our wayworn hours,

The Maiden and the Brook.

The Maiden and the Brook.
They sat beside babbling brook
That tumbled through vale,
And in his eyes there was a look
That told a simple tale.
She watched the limpid waters flow
And with the lilies play.
She saw the bubbles come and go,
Well knowing what he wished to say.
The moments sped! He dared not speak.
And she sat silent there;
A sunbeam sported upon her cheek,
Breezes sported with her hair.
At last. without warning word,
She slid into the stream,
And folks mile off might have heard
The splashing maiden scream.
And did the brave young lover stay
To lay his shoes aside?
All. no! He plunged in right away
And claimed her from the tide.
They barely got their ankles wet,
But why upbraid the maid?
His love might be unspoken yet
But for the little game she played

From the roseleaf dawn of her willing lips,

The cares of life were all back in the night,
For Dorothy said to my heart: BE light"

until this committee has waited on the
president and received his commuuica-

cannot proceed.
Mother Mckinley is unconscious and
the attending physician can give the

remaining here, In view of these
facts, the president feels that it is his

not to delay the opening of congress at
