WHY NOT BOOST

The Stalled Wagon and the MuIe-A Fable.
EDITOR STANDARD:
Once upon time there was Q cart
and mule stuck in the mud. The
driver tried to get them out, but soon
became discouraged and went away,
leaving them alone.
The poor old mule hung his head.
By-and-bye one of the spectators,
younger and rasher than his neighbors
took the vacant seat. With great
bravo he waived his whip and shouted
to Jack, until the people gathered
around making laughing remarks and
suggestions. But it WAS no use, the
cart sank deeper in the mud. The
young man became wiser and gave it
up. Then another would come along
and boast of his ability to get them
out. The people would only smile and
tell how Others had failad to get the m
out OF the mud; said there was no bot
tom to the mud that the cart weighed
six million pounds, and the d-n old
mule was no good anyway and count.

would 60 away and poor old Jack
would hang his head in humble SUBJ
mission to his fate.
One day there came a man. He
gazed long and earnestly at the scene.
Thinking he might be another foolish
man, the people gathered around him
and rehearsed in detail the history of
the thing. He listened gravely until
the end. He noticed the rig had
blocked the way; it had kept other
vehicles from passing; traffic and bus
iness were retarded by the blockade.
Then he stepped quietly to old Jacks
head and said: "Let US not waste
idle words. 1t will be good for you all
to have the thing move on. l will
lead the mule and those of you who
are strong each get rail and pry."
Surprised, they obeyed. Old Jack
pricked up his ears and tried: and, 10

More to "Home, Sweet Home"

There are two verses of that heart
song, Home, Sweet Home," which
are known To but few people, and which
did not appear at the first publication.
In 1923, John Howard Payne wrote the
following additional verses and pre-
sented them to an American woman
who WAS living in London:
TO us. in spite OF the absence of years
How sweet the remembrance of home
still appears.
With alurements abroad which but
tiatter the eye,
The unsatisfied heart turns and says
with sigh:
Home, home. home sweet home.
There's no place like home,
There's no place like homer
" Your exile is blest with all fate can be-
stow;
But mine has been checkered with
many woe.
Vet, though different our fortunes, our
thoughts are the same,
And both. as We think of Columbia, ex-
