What is the cost of living?
The price Cf bread and bone?
The thirst Of the parched lips for
drink
And the cry for bread alone?
Masters of fact and figures.
Ye who have writ the scroll,
charge
With never thought of soul?
Ye with the blOodless story
OF figure and fact arrayed,
Heard ye no tale of the mothers pain
On the bed where the child is laid?
Ye tell of the cost of living;
Took ye no thought on it
The anguished price that a mother
And the patience infinite?
What is the cost of living?
Saw We no blind and lame?
Heard we NO cry of a souls despair?
Saw We no blush of shame?
Met We no disappointment?
Dried We no fearful eye
That wept DER the clay of an idol
dead,
Ere the sun was MONDAY high
What is the cost of living?
Heard We of none who died
High on a cross of shattered hopes
And longings unsatisfed?
Saw We no slaves, unwilling.
Heard We no bitter cry.
OF men accused with the faint of sim
Fearing to live or die?
What is the cost of living?
All Of our toll and tears.
All Of our doubts and SORROWS,
All of our woes and fears,
Grim and with greed increasing.
Life for his debt claims pay.
Never the sun decreasing.

An effort is being made in Kalis-

running of variety shows and the
movement is said to have been insti-

street saloons who desire to close
the varieties in the belief that it will
benefit their own business.
The Bee has always been opposed
to both variety shows and gambling
