Still we can bear this:
Let the dream pass!
Vanishing ever
The sands in the glass;
Time Will not finger:
Let the dream pass!
Why, in the shadow
Why, in the CLEAN.
Should we sit signing

Phantoms pursuing
Vainly. alas!
Deeds for the doing!-
Let the dream passl
Ever and ever
Some flaw in the strain;
Never-oh, never
The old dreams againi
Ilfe-lights are dying
Night comes-alas!
Heart, cease the signing
Let the dream pass!

To stretch the brothers hand
Unto a world in need:
To bind the wounds that bleed
To make the dream the deed:
And for each scourging rod,
Fearless-unbowed to stand.

L venture that of all the patridges hatch

that these hunters destroy; they destroy
every sort OF bird. even to the red

among birds TO initiate the human trend,
there will soon be no birds: then you viii

THAI You have SO wantonly destroyed.

THE EXPERT BUTCHER.
One of His Accomplishments the
Ability to Gut OF the Right Weight.

One of His Accomplishments the
Ability to Gut OF the Right Weight.
It is his business, Of course, and he
becomes expert at it, as any man
might in any work, but the customer
who pays any attention to it at all Is
sure to be interested nevertheless in
the accuracy with which the butcher
cuts off just the required amount OF
meat. Whether it is two pounds Of
steak, or four pounds of chops, or six
pounds of corned beef, it's all the same
to him. He cuts without long dwelling
upon where to set the knifes. He
slices away sort Of casuallike and
plies the saw and lays the meat on
the scales, and it does not weigh more
than a quarter or a half pound from
the weight required on even the
heaviest pieces. and on the lighter
pieces he comes within an ounce Or
two or hits it right on the nail.
A man, for instance, goes into a
butcher shop and asks for three and q
half or four pounds of, say, corned
beef. The butcher gets big piece
out Of the pickle, lays it on a block
and picks up a knife, and, without the
slightest hesitation, with one strong,
smooth sweep cuts off a piece, which
he lays on the scales. 1t weighs three
pounds and three-Quarters. It is in
weight exactly midway between the
limits set.
The expert butcher gets his ability
to do this, naturally enough, from
good judgment, to start with, backed
up by long experience, but when he
cuts things as close as this even the
customer familiar with his skill looks
upon him as wizard.-New York
