GIN the spring you make garden
full of things you'd like to eat, and
the chickens come and scratch it to
thunder and repeat. In the spring
your lawn is pretty and you point
to it with pride, till some cattle
come and spoil it in the silent even
tide. In the spring the grooming
husband eats his victuals in the
barn, for the wife must clean the
mansion, and she doesn't care a
darn; the yard is full of carpets, and
the trees are full of sheets, and he
has to live on sauerkraut, cistern
water and sliced beets. Oh, yes,
woman's in her glory when she can
tear things all apart, piling beds
and chairs and pillows in way to
break your heart. And at night the
grooming husband has to sleep
upon the porch, and he feels so
plum Disguised that he can't enjoy
his torch. When the blamed old
cleaning's over then the wife is
taken i'll, and it keeps her husband
busted buying dope and drug and
pill; and the mansion is no cleaner
than it was when she began, but
she'd Stay him if he said so-and he
is prudent man."-Nebraska State

FACE THE SUNSHINE.

Though yesterday was dark with gloom,
When sorrow shadowed all thy way,
Till suffering and anguish rose
Cloudlike to hide and blot out day,
And through thy heart swept loud refrain,
tempests song of grief and pain
Seek not today to close thine eyes.
Nor backward look when earths bright glows
Seem cruel mockery that comes
To follow smilingly thy woes,
While darkness lends thy soul relief
And gives sad welcome to thy grief.
Lift up thy tired, bowed head, dear one,
To face once more the shining light
That slowly, but so surely will
Dispel thy spirits heightened night.
Look up with dim, tear blinded eyes
To see todays fair, dazzling skies.
Grief's darkness waits to hide all else
But selfs strong, urgent claims,
Toward others will the chastened hopes
OF frightened hearts send out their aims.
Not now, but sometimes will the years
Show thee the joys sunlit through tears.
Ere long the bruised and storm tossed buds
OF struggling hope will show their hue,
With pure, sweet fragrance will unfold
Their blossoms and will find anew
The life and strength of all that lies
Beneath the glow of heavens fair skies.
Turn toward the warmth of Gods great love
To find new impulse for thy Will
Till thou canst bid the tangled tones
OF sorrows discord to be still,
While clouds of yesterday will roll
Beyond the dawn that greets thy soul.

Champion Who Was Delayed"
In a certain Athletic Club which
rented two rooms over Tin Shop there
was one Boy who could put it All Over
the other Members.
He knew how to Jab and Counter and
Upper-Cut and Bore in with the Left
and Play for the Wind. He had Lumps
on his Arms and good Pair of Shoul-
ders, and every one in the Club told
him he had the makings of a World
Beater. He used to coax Grocery Clerks
and Grammar School Children to put on
the Gloves with him, and then he would
go around them, like Cooper around q
Barrel and Trim them right and proper
His friends would stand and watch
him make Monkeys of these anemic
Amateurs, and gradually the Convic.
tion grew within them that he could
Lick anybody of his Weight. The Boy
believed them when they told him he
ought to 60 after the Top -Notchers.
He gave up his Job in the Planning
Mill and became a Pugilist. The Pro.
prietor of Cigar Store acted as his
Manager, and began to pay his Board.
This manager was Foxy. He told the
Boy that before tackling the Champion

After he put on the Gloves he looked
over at the Coming Champion and re-

Head drawn in, turtle fashion, his Legs
spraddled, and oh, the hard, vicious
Expression on that Face, as he Fiddled
Short and looked intently at the Com
ing Champions Feet. This was a very
confusing and unprofessional Thing to
do, as the Boy had not been accustomed
to boxing with People who looked at his
Feet. He wondered if there was any
thing the matter with his Gymnasium
Shoes.
In Moment or two he saw that the
Physical Wreck was afraid to Lead, so
he did some nimble Foot Work, and his
Gloves began to describe Parabolas-
