POEMS EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW.
THE WINDS WORD.

THE WINDS WORD
Soft a, an echo Of song
I.the word which they whisper to me-
The wind that blows over the grass,
The wind that blows in from the sea;
Sweet as the touch of the dew
To flowers athirst tor the rain,
But the word that is given not mine
To be given again.
You Of the questioning heart
Soul that is faint by the way,
What is the message they bear?
What are the words they say
Over, and over and over
Invisible wings unfurled,
Over and over, and over,
They circle the world.
And the pinions tire
In the depths or the heights afar;
They know Of the things that were.
They know Of the things that are
Over, and over, and over,
Forever the wings unfurled,
Over, and ever, and over,
They circle the world.
And they bring me the Song as they hear it,
A lit, or a solemn Amen
But the word that is given not mine
To be given again.

The Man Behind the Kiss.

When George Lindsay and his
wife of New York City came be-
fore Magistrate Higginbotham
some days ago with a domestic
difficulty the latter ordered George
to kiss his wife every day and to
carry her occasional flowers. And
the unthinking world applauded
the decision of the modern Solo
mon.
However, as might be expected
of man with force enough in him
to kick up family muss, the man
in the case dissented from the
judges decision.
''Kiss my wife because l must?'
said Mr.. Lindsay. "Not on your
life. The Jail for me rather than
lose my freedom to kiss when and
where I choose"
| George is right. Forced kisses
are blasphemy in the eyes of the
god of love.
0, yes, we all know what wo-
men will say-when George was
counting his wife he did not need
a judge to tell him to kiss the girl.
He thought she had the prettiest
mouth for kissing in the world.
And one kiss called for another,
ETC., etc. And by the way look
you, 1t is presumable that those
kisses met with cordial reciprocal
ton and that eyes invited them,
but
To be compelled to kiss your
wife. Aye, there's the rub. That
is as bad as the blue laws of the
Puritans which provided that no
man should kiss his wife on Sum
day, thus Offering additional pre-
MUM on osculation.
Kissing goes by favor and not
by force. Who that is a man will
blame George Lindsay for appeal
ing from this new rule of law
which tries to make a man loving
by compulsion and periodical
kisser by duress?
And what woman would desire
such formal and prescribed saluta-
ton Of the lips? Behind the kiss
must be the man-not ninny.-
