In the confusion the boy thought
the revivalist had asked him where

The World and

An 1lliSnOiS boy was asked to write
an essay on Masonry. and here is what
lie wrote. king Solomon was a man
who lived so many years in the coun-
try that he was the whole push. He
was an awfully wise man, and one
day two women came to him, each
holding to leg of baby and nearly
pulling it in two, and each claiming
it. And King solomon wasn't feeling
right good and he said: Why couldn't
the brat have been twins and stop
this bOther?' And then he called for
his machete and was going to Weyler-
iZe the poor innocent little babe, and
give each woman a pice of it, when
the real mother of the babe said:
Stop Solomon, stay thy hand. Let
the old hag have it. If | can't have a
whole baby | won't have any Then
Solomon said to her take the baby
and go home and wash its face, for
he knew it was hers. He told the
other woman to go chase herself.
King Solomon built SolomOn'S Tenn
pie and was the father of MasOnS. He
had seven hundred wives and three
hundred lady friends, and that's why
there are so many MaSOns in the

When all the May is blossoming,
When many a tree Is green,
Afar upon the hillside,
Some leafiess boughs are seen.
Not theirs to blossom with the May:
They wait later, lingering day.
They wait their times and seasons:
In patience still they wait.
They envy not the evergreens
That stand in solemn state,
And wear their green the whole year
through,
Strong guardians robed in sober hue.
They wait their times and seasons,
For them shall come, though late,
The summer Of their longlngs,
When, gladdened and elate,
They, too, a vivid green shall wear;
They, too, shall stand adorned and fair.
Beloved trees, thy comrade
Am I; my life is gray,
Where other lives are blooming
With all the joy Of May
wait my time; like you, wait
Gods time, which cometh soon or late
