Half devil and half child

To veil the threat OF terror
And check the show of pride:
by open speech and simple.
An hundred times made plain.
To seek anothcr's pront
And work anoth.rs gain
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage war; of peace

And bid the sickness cease:
And when your goal Is nearest

Bring all your hope to nought-
Take UP the White Mans burden

But toll OF s--f and sweeper

a Tale OF ru..y-wuiow.

From the time the willows grow
bare In the fall till the first birds ap-
pear in sprlngtime little Ethel Is
watching for pussy willow. She i'm
agines all sorts OF pretty things about
the cunning fuzzy balls. and keeps the
vases In the parlor full Of willow bou
quets. One OF her beliefs is that all
the kitties that have ever been drown
ed In the creek down In the pasture
come back In the shape OF pussy-wil-
lows. For this reason she loves them
and pets them. and talks to them as
she would II they were real pussies.
The other evening Brother Rob was
having torchlight procession and all
the boys in the neishborhood were
helping him. Their torches were cat
tall nag reeds gathered in the swamps
and soaked In kerosene oil.which made
them the jolliest torches Imaginable.
Ethel was having a merry time watch
ing the boys form In line, when she
happened to hear one OF them call his
torch "cat-tail." She stopped and
thought 4 moment. and then. rushing
In to her mother. buried her face In
her dress and sobbed. "Oh. it's dreful:
the boys are using the tails of my
grown-up pussy-willows for torches"-

Mechanical engineers look with favor

bc accomplished either by forcing the

method being forced, the latter an

vantages are ciaimed-independen

Economically there is also something

Is manifest. The chimney is an an.
