in any sort of conflict with man or

"One day he fell out with the mule.
Ordinarily they get along well enough
together. But in some way the mule
on the day in question made the ne

first place the negro broke his water
jug over the mules head. This did
not feaze the animal. Grabbing the
mule by the ears and taking a good,
firm grip, the black man landed with
vigor between the mules ears, using
his head as a weapon. The blow was

trouble was 1t knocked the negro out

That was twenty years ago and dur.

ten all about it until one day recently
he came across a terrapin. Turning
the terrapin over, he was amazed to
find that it was his long-lost pet.
There were the dates, the initials
placed there from time to time, grown
larger with the terrapin, but as dis.

In order to get back to its usual
feeding place under the mulberry
tree the terrapin had to cross several
streams, traverse wooded bluffs,
treacherous ravines and cross fields.
Twenty years had been required to
make the journey of two and one-halt
miles, but, guided by instinct, the lit

A MEMORY OF BoYHoOD

Farewell the ties are broken
That linked them in the past,
The parting words are spoken,
Loves sky looms overcast.
The first mad. boylsh passion
Has spent its fierce delight
They loved in frantic fashion
And part in foolish spite.
oh, Love, how may they sever
The bond that held them twainr
iris hard to part forever,
To quar- the cup of pain.
But they must sup OF sorrow
And taste of bitter grief,
How drear will dawn the morrow
That brings them no relief
Their love had too much laughter.
And not enough of tears.
Remorse must follow after
The love that laughs at fears.
Your memory he Will cherish,
The fairest of his foes.
TN Life itself shall perish,
And Death his door disclose.
We never can recapture
Those joys of bygone years.
That first fine godlike rapture
Lies quenched In haunting fears.
Who wins sweet Fame will lose her.
Who loses her will gain.
Though Fancy still purSues her,
Her strenuous quest is vain.
The fairness OF the flower
Bloomed richly In your face,
For Beauty was your dover,
The heirloom of your race.
Gray eyes that shamed the morning,
Charged with shy, pure disdain,
Flushed with fine girlish scorning.
As starshine drenChed In rain.

Say, Rose. do you remember
The day you sang his rhyme,
As the nightingale In December,
Your voice rang like a chime.
No thrush's note rose sweeter,
AS your linnets carol clear,
With musiC'S mournful meter,
That thrilled the spellbound ear.
Fate keyed their hearts together,
Pitched to the self-same tune,
But tickle as feather
You changed with every moon.
Sweet was the summer season
when he and you first met,
To love you was his treason,
Then he Is traitor yet!
Your lustrious eyes shone brighter
Than stars that gem the Dawn,
Your buOyant step was lighter
Than soft tread of timorous fawn.
Your rose-leaf face was fairer
Than foam from wind-swept spray,
Your beauty's rich and rarer
Than blithe harbinger of May.
For soft vows and bridal bliss,
RcmOrse must follow after
And chill sweet clinging kiss.
