A WORD OR TWO.


Forget how you feel,
Don't think Of yourself,
Don't spend all your time
Out looking for pelf.
Be human a bit
And pause to observe
The tint of a bloom,
The ripple and curve
OF brook that will sing
song Of good cheer
If you will but stay
while there to hear.
Enjoy the blue sky,
The landscape around
Don't go with your eyes
Bent fast on the ground
Don't lose all regard
For others who may
Not be so Intent
On making life pay.
Neglect not chance
To laugh and be glad,
Tho pl'ing up money
Be ever a fad.
Be prudent and take
All fortune may give,
But while you are living
Be sure that you live.

Who comes and mortals hunt the shade
so many poets now sing of me,
So loudly and so cheerfully
That l am tempted to believe
Each one has something up his Sleeve
Forsooth, it's winters cue to blow
And yet, no doubt, as you we'll know,
The chaps who deal in vernal rhyme
Have turned 1t loose ahead of time

Them singing thus this time of year.

Until that time, excuse me, please"

issued a bulletin forbidding sparkling

He says in his notice that complaints
have reached him that some of the
cars have passed crossings where peO-
pie were standing waiting to be carried
to some point, and upon investigation
he has found ont that the usual cause
was a pretty girl on the street waving
her hand at the motorman or COnduc-

damsel in the car talking 10 the con-
drctor, who forgot TO ring the bell for

too much interest is manifest by indi-

The Man
from Nowhere.

Several of us were seated in the
Aero Club when the door opened ad-
mitting man Of medium height,
whose eyes denoted powers of quick
observation, whose smile savOred OF
good will to men, and his general ap-
pearance stamped him as person of
intelligence. He sauntered to place
where We were and greeted us with a
fiattering comment: "Ah! group of
convival souls gathered here to while
away the evening" We invited him
to be seated; then Dick Goidy said:
"To enjoy the evening is our program,
and if you desire you may share the
pleasure. However, we would appre-
ciate the honor of your acquaintance"
The late arrival politely informed us
that he was a wanderer; in short, a
man from Nowhere. "Be that as it
may" resumed Dick. "This is a time
to be merry. You know there's time
for all things; time for the roses to
bloom and wither; a time when things
harmonize to gladden. the heart of
man; time to eat, to drink and to be
merry. l may add, a time to be sad"
"Never!" exclaimed the stranger. Alb
solute silence ensued, and taking ad-
vantage of our visible perturbation the
stranger continued: "Sirs, have alb
soiutely no hesitancy in declaring that
there is never, IN the life of q solitary
human creature, slime to be sad; in other
words, to bemoan the consequences of

that Elizabeth Barrett Browning is
primarily a woman's poet. The great
est contrast exists between her style
aud subject matter and that of her
husband. OEly perhaps in her trans

Portuguese" does she rise on 6re-tipped
wings, leaving the somewhat bourgeois
existence of Victorian femininity.

when he fell in the stupor, it was
at first though that he was simply
