MAN WITH THE HOE.

Say. how do you hoe your row, old ehapf
Say, how do YOU hoe your row?
Do you hoe u fair
DO you hoe 1t square,
DO YOU hoe 1t the best you know?
Do you cut the weeds as you ought
to do
And leave what's worth while there?
The harvest you'll garner depends on YOU;
Are you working 1t on the square?
Are you killing the noxious weeds, old
chap
Are you making it straight and clean?
Are you going straight
At a hustling gait?
Are YOU scattering all that's mean?
Do YOU laugh and sing and whistle shrill,
And dance Il step or two,
AS the row you hoe leads up the hill?
The harvest is up TO you.
You can reap the thing that you ought to
reap;
A pitiful, worthless dole
Or a harvest fair.
With bit to spare
For another and way ward soul;
The Master who's waiting to garner In
VIII credit YOU all you're due;
So hoe your row with song and grin
The harvest is up to you.

The clergyman and the soldier sat in
unspeaking discomfort. but the third

headlong for the bridge There was the
sound of hurrying waters and the shrill
call of whistle. There was sudden
bump and wrench. and the three men
came to their feet simultaneously.

and the soldier blanched under the ugly
red of his scar The third man rushed
to the platform. followed closely by

The baggage cars have caught fire
and they have uncoupled us, cried the
stranger as he caught at the molten
brakes; then in stified voice he sail:
The air brakes have collapsed. We
can do nothing and the chances are
that the bridge has given way
The clergyman stood on the first step,
ready for a plunge. Man" cried the
others, ARE you insane? You would
be dashed to death at the speed at
which we are going!"
There is but one chance"
The soldier and the divine clung de-
spairingly to the last hope. and their
eager eyes pierced the darkness for
sight of the speakers face. By pow
erful thrust they found themselves
back into the coach and heard the slam
of the car door. The interior had be-
come a furnace. The insensate mass
gathered momentum as it slid down
the incline TO the bridge below. The
mems faces were drawn into centuries
of horror at the hideous fate ahead of
them. Nevertheless. the man of God
sank into the nearest seat and covered
his eyes. With true martial instinct he
had discovered the commander.
