Mr. Bryan intends to adhere to his

because that is the only policy with which

he is now battling for chiefly. He con-

Why Some Men Fail.

My song is this: Why some men miss
In life, their chosen goal
They seek to ILL., with half the will
"A plan that needs the whole.
They SOW the seed on mount and mead,
And wait to see it spread;
While, half concerned. they leave unturned
The clod upon its head.
They waste in play the light OF day,
Knowing that there will come,
At even-fall the welcome call
To eat the unearned crumb
Thus down the tide of life they glide
In poverty and pain,
Leaving undone from sun to sun,
The things that lead to gain.
But when the last lone hope is past,
No more to light their way,
And all is lost-they learn the cost
OF doing things halfway.

56e Land Of Story Books

Al evening, when the lamp is lit,
Around the fire my parents sit;
They sit at home and talk and sing.
And do not play at anything
New, with my little gun I crawl
All in the dark along the wall;
And follow round the forest track
Away behind the sofa back
There in the night, where none can spy,
All in my hunters camp lie,
And play at books that have read
Till it is time to go to bed.
These are the hills, these are the woods,
These are my starry solitudes;
And there the river on whose brink
The roaring lions came to drink
/ see the others far away
As il in frelit camp they lay,
And !, like to an Indian scout,
Around their party prowled about.
So, when my~nurse comes in for me,
Home return across the sea
And go to bed with backward looks
AT my dear land Of Storybooks.
