The Strenuous Life.

Life is real and life is earnest,
[ And we all have stunts to do,
Even IL they are not pleasant
We have got to see them through
Knowing this the little humble
Bee will hustle like chump,
Just to furnish an example
That will make sluggard hump.
And the robin clears the garden
OF the surplus bugs and worms,
While the little fresh mosquito
Peddles round the fever germs.

farm paper, however, that is not

let me thank you for the papers
you or your father was so kind
as to send me. They were a
source of much pleasure to me.
j have started several letters
to you but for some reason did
not complete one. Before me
as | write is one bearing a date
early in June, another July 81.
So you see | have never lacked
the intention of writing. When
your letter finally reached me
| was in the hills and out of
paper, save the coarsest. Then
for a month | was in the house
of a friend where / had simply
no privacy, and by that time
the habit of postponing had
grown strong, | guess. Then |
had a while here in a native
house and took my meals with
Mr.. Lewis. Later his cook was
ill and | took him in for meals
here. Something, if only a
little dengue fever, is sure Ia
contest for the time when
plan writing to you, so this
time am determined to write
without any postponement. 1t
is too early for guests Of any
kind short of a miracle, and III
make this sure.
Guests are almost a miracle
here now, anyhow. | am the
