Have you read In the old Arabian tale
or the merchant who sat in the market
place
With a basket OF wares exposed for sale,
And ignored the crowd, with averted
face?
For he dreamed in the sun of a future
time
When his basket of glassware should
be sold,
And he counted his gains in a dream sub
lime.
TIL his wealth had risen a hundredford;
And he sat there and dreamed. with
bissful sigh.
As the crowd went by-went surging by.
And nobody bought, and nobody cared
For the silent man with the misty gaze,
Who sat by his basket and idly stared
Through the busy hours of the market.

And the tom toms beat and the wall OF

explanation to wondering audience
in Cooper Union: The rcast beef of
England is so good because they have
so many old maids over there. The
old maids keep cats. These cats, run
ming free, catch the mice which make
eternal warfare on the humble bees.
The humble lees fertilize the soil
which grows sweet clover, the finest

1t is really due TO the old maids that
