Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-12


A-stumble in the dark, with cropping hand
scattered the crust Of ashes from the wick
And lighted every corner Of the land
Goodness and kindness are volatile.
Every decent thought, every good deed,
every sweet word strikes into the air
and permeates like a perfume. only
the petty minded will rejoice in having
enemies. Those who are great are
above those who dislike or hate them
and pay no heed to such disturbing
matters. Remember this: Every time
you fly into temper old Pepper Time
cuts a notch on your age stick and you
are Just that much older.
