The Fools Prayer.

The FOOLS Prayer.
The royal feast was done: the King
Sought out some new sport to Danish
care.
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kncel now, and make for us prayer.
The Jester DOTTED his cap and bells.
And stood the hooking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head. and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's slken stool;
HIS pleading voice arose: 80 Lord,
lie mercful to me- fool.
"No pity. Lord could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as WOOL;
The rod must heal the sin; but Lord,
Be mercful to me. n fool.
IT'S not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and right. . Lord. we stay;
"ris by onr folics That so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
"Thcse clumsy feet still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end:

thrust
Among the heartstrings of friend.
"1he il-tmed truth we might have
kept
Who knows how sharp it pierced and
stung?
The word we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly it had rung:
"Our faults no tenderness should ask.
The Christening stripes must cleanse
them all;
But for our bunders-oh In shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave. and scourge the
tool
That did his will; but Thou. O Lord,
Be merciful to me. fool
The room was hushed: in silence rose
The King. and sought his gardens cool,
And walked apart. and murmured low,
Pc merciful to me. fool"'

THE CUES
He Showed the Beauty OF Giving Up

Many years ago a girl found herself
suddenly denied a plea to which
She had been looking forward for many
weeks The very morning Of the ex'

red in The carriage, even by crowd
inc. would not hold more than six, and
some reason of necessity or courtesy
made It impossible for any one to stay
at home except the girl. The situation
was evident from the first moment.
The girl looked round the group
gathered for hasty and secret confer
ence with stormy eyes.

time to catch the angry outburst.
Clearly he had stumbled upon n
scene" but it was too late to retreat.
With the charm that never failed him
he turned to the girl.

exclaimed. They are troublesome
things, aren't they? How they do dog
us all our lives. Really. the best
thing know about them is that. since
they are our rights, we have the privi-
,ese of surrendering them for others"
Ard then, after taking book from the
table, he left the room.
The girl stood still; she could not

catch a glimspc of wide country OF
beauty When she came to herself. her
mother was speaking:
"lf only could give you my place,
dear. But l can't stay when Cousin
Retty has come. You-"
The girl spoke briefly. "l'll stay
sh" said.
The others praised and petted her
and promised her many things, but she
slipped from them as quickly as posi-
lie. She waited Until she heard the
Carrnge start. and then went down to
the still. sunny garden. Suddenly she
stopped, for on the bench, with the
sunlight falling across his fine Old face

he added something strange: Child

The guest went his way day or
two later. and the girl never saw him
again. But all her He after the
thought OF the privilege of giving up
