The Man Behind The Plow

I'm not much at writing those high falutin chaps.
For hand is likely clumsy and awkward too perhaps;
I've been driving team that travels rather slow,
That's kept me busy, with ''get up "haw, gee, whoa!
But if you will listen to whot am going to say,
About great mistake they make and do it every day
In doing out their praises and want to tell them
Too often they forget the who walks behind the pillow
Talk about learned men, their wit and wisdom rare;
Their poets and their painters who get praises everywhere
They're we'll enough to make show but will they tell how
world could do without the behind the pillow?
IT'S nice go to school, to learn to read and write,
nicer yet to dress up fine and sport around at night
Their music, art and poetry all be hard to beat
But tell what they're going to do for something good to
eat?
They saw my boots muddy my clothing is too coarse
I make good companion for the oxen or the horse
NV face is red my hand is hard too true will allow
But don't quick to spurn the behind the pow
like their great inventions glad theyr getting smart;
T like to hear their music, for it kind ostrs my hart
But twill touch the stomach OF hungry tired man,
And so call attention to the things that can,
Don't be a hurry, boys to leave the good old farm;
Father is getting feeble he'll need youthful
If honest is your purpose your feet the world must bow
For the greatest of all great the behind the pillow

Gossip may be friendly and
neighborly, like the word be-
cause it conveys a suggestion
of good news or good comment
but it is no longer Ogossip when
it ceases to deal with pleasant
happiness and loving wishes,
and becomes critical or pcensor-
ious or lapses into islander.
The most unworthy talk in nthe
world is that which is carried
on in whispers land semi-confi-
dences, and which retails the
unfortunate errors of people
whom we know. Never TO say
an unkind thing, never to imply
an unfriendly thing even by
our silence are rules which we
should make andlto which we
should scrupulously adhere

at an elegant intruder who had

And when Mrs. Muncie came
in she found them chatting like
old friends.
'ssAnd why, Mr.. Keith" she
demanded. when he stood up to
say good night" did you not
send for that box of magazines.
It's down cellar yet"
He laughed out likeCa boy.
II send Mrs. Muncie. And I
got a box of jelly-the most de.
licious jelly. What good fairy
converted literature into iel
ly?"
Mrs. Muncie threw up her fat
hands.
And that" she said lis the
reason 1 amt heard a word
from Sister Susan" And then
there were explanations all
around, and a good deal of
laughter. Three days later
Miss Jardine went back to the
city. And it was not long I'M
til Mr.. Keith decided he had
business there which required
his personal attention. Of
course, he called on Miss Jar

He went back to Melton that

And this, despite Mrs. Mum
cie's half shocked protestations
she insisted on doing. But when
she looked at the jellies Mar.
garet made her admiration was
unbounded. Such lovely col
ors!' she exclaimed, beaming at
the filled glasses. Such rose

SO crystal clear! How did you
ever learn to make 'em like
that? You won't be offe nded,
will you, my dear, if send
box of them to my sister that
lives in Jeup cossunty? She's
an invalid, an they would be
such a treat to her."
Il shall feel battered it you
do so," Margaret assured her.
So the box. was packed and
put in the cellaI and Mrs. Nun.
Gle went down town to engage
the drayman to come and get it.
But during her absence fate, in
the person of Jerry, the porter,
of the firm OF Keith & Co., in
terposed.
Jerry had been sent to get a
box out of Mrs. Muncie's cellar.
Margaret, supposing him to be
the eXpressman sent by her
hostess, want down the cellar
with him and pointed out the
box containing the jelly.
There is no address on it, "
she said. DO you know where
it is to go?"
Yes, miss. That's all right.
I've got the card for it in my
pocket"
When Mrs. Muncie appeared
with a man and wagon, Marga-
ret explained that the box had
been called for.
II declare, that provoking
Tom Grimes must have chang
ed his mind" said Mrs. Muncle.
when l spoke to him he told
me he had an all day job, and
couldn't come. l must pay him
the first time I see him. I shan't
need you now, Peter Green"
And she supposed, of course.
Margaret had seen to the ad-
dress.
To Gilbert Keith, camping
out with some kindred spirits
in the heart of superb scenery,
was duly delived the box, con-
tanning Miss Jardine's jelly.
Great Scotlandw he ex-
claimed, chow were ever maya
zines turned into jelly-and
such jelly! But-seeing how
under favored the meat and
over favored the butter to be
had here, I'm rather glad of the
transformation. And I'll take
the goods the gods provide
no question asked"
Which declaration was enthu.
siastically seconded by his
companions.
Just week later it dawned
upon him that there was a good
deal of loneliness and monotony
up in the mountains. and that
it was beginning to feel a bit
chilly at night under a canvas
tent. So as suddenly as he had
come he packed up his traps
and took his departure. He let
