The Old, Westinghouse.

Battered and bruised and worn and old,
Bereft Of his name and tail,
A veteran charger stanch and bold,
He has weathered LIES fiercest gale.
The hero Of many a gallant raid,
In many bloodless war.
A soldier of fortune. undisrnayed
By battle and wound and scarf
Meath the guiding touch Of little hand
He has Travelled many mile
Through the wonderful realms of "Plsylike'
Land,
Where the spirits of Fancy smile.
But strange TO say, in his boidest fight,
Though he halted or rested not
Through all his travels by day and night
He has stood in the self-same spot.
He was ridden far he ridden hard;
He has borne fierce brunts and blows,
And oft has felt, as sweet reward,
A kiss on his worn-out nose.
And though he is rather the worse for wear,
And is crippled and SCARED and old.
In the eyes OF his master ne still is fair
And worth his weight in gold.

The OId-Fashioned Boy.

Oh. for 4 glimpse OF natural boy
boy with freckled face.
With forehead white meath tangled hair
And limbs devoid OF grace.
Whose feet toe in, while his elbows fare;
Whose knees are patched all ways;
Who turns as red as a lobster when
You give him a word of praise.
A boy who's born with an appetite.
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his piece with sounding smack
Who isn't gone on himself.
A Robinson CriIsoe' reading boy.
Whose pockets bulge with trash;
Who knows the use of rod and gun,
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair,
With his hat on his tousled head;
That his hands and feet are everywhere,
For youth must have room to spread.
But he doesn't dub his father ''old man,"
Nor deny his mothers call.
Nor ridcue what his elders say,
Or think that ne knows it all.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF a good old-fashioned clay;
God bless him, if he's still on earth,
For he'll make man some day.

Dear Lady Of Poppies take my hand,
And lead me down to the Opal Sea.
Where Tolls boat on the languid tide
The lifting, lifting, lettering tide
Waiting for thee and me

Our course to the purple west is set,
And we are off for the beautiful isle
The dreamy, mystical, marvellous isle
Where the sorrowful 20 to forget.
Dear Lady Of Peoples, the wind is fair,
The bcryl water is cool and deep,
And this boat that silvery rises and falls
That rocks and tremhles and lifts and falls
Surely its name is Sleepi
And far away, thro' the purple mist,
The pearly shore of island gleams
OF an island kissed by the lips of the sea-

CURRENT VERSE



There is beauty IN this world OF ours for him
There Is beauty smiles at harvest the prairies
broad and free:
There is beauty in the forest; there Is beauty on
There is beauty in the notified light that CLEANS
along the rills,
And beauty out Of heaven over all the land
scape spills
When the sun shines on the mountains in the
morning.
There is beauty where the ocean rolls majestic on
the shore;
There is beauty in the moonlight as II CLEANS
the waters Ger:
There is beauty in the sunrise, where the clouds
blush rosy red.
There is beauty in the sunset, with its banners
trailed oerhead
And a beauty past expression Ger the snowy
peaks is shed
When the sun shines on the mountains in the
morning.
There is beauty when the green returns and
glistens in the showers:
There is beauty in the summer as she garlands
earth and flowers;
There is beauty in the autumn in the mellow
afterglow;
There is beauty In the winter, with his diadem
But beauty more enchanting than the seasons
ever know
Gilds the sunshine on the mountains in the
morning.
There is beauty in the rainbow as it CLEANS above
the storm;
There is beauty in the scglptor's vision frozen
into form;
There's beauty in the prophets dream and in
the poets thought;
There is beauty in the artists rapture the
canvas wrought;
But beauty more divine than art can ever tell
is caught
From the sunshine on the mountain in the
morning.
Oh, the sunshine on the mountainsi How
golden web is spun
Ger the topmost peaks that glisten from the yet
unrisen sun,
With their bases still In shadow, but their faces
glowing bright.
With their foreheads turned to heaven and their
locks snowy white;
They are high priests of the sunrise. they are
prophets of the Light,
With the sunshine smiling DER them in the
morning. 80

Love wore a threadbare dress of grey,
And toiled upon the road all day.
Love welded pick and carried pack,
And bent to heavy loads the back.

A child's white face to kiss at night,

Helen Keller not only passed the ex-

work of preparation in an unusually short

problems could have been solved under
such difficulties. or, indeed, that these
subjects could be studied at all in the
circumstances; but the specimen prob

The materials of the biography were
In possession of the New England His
toric Genealogical Society of Boston.
Henry Knox was Washingtons chief OF
artillery and, of course served with
Washington all through the war. Many
of his letters to his family are quoted
and form most interesting records of Con-
tinental campaigns. The illustrations are
from paintings, portraits, and photographs
of places connected with the narrative
The interest OF the book. of course, lies
chiefly in the light thrown on the great
struggle OF the REVOLUTION and the early
days of the Republic. After the war Knox
resided for a time in Boston, and had an
opportunity to observe the course of the
movement known as Shay's Rebellion.
There is much interesting information in
