The TURNING

Eleven o'clock" murmured the man.
Well, Elsie will be home soon now,
but l won't wait up"
He went to bed, but not to sleep. The
fact that his little girl was attending
her first grown-up party made him
wakeful and thoughtful, for it was
hard for him to reconcile himself TO
the idea of his baby Elsie turning into
a young woman. Twelve o'clock!
He wished that she were asleep in
the small crib beside his bed, where he
had rocked her night after night dur
ing the first six years of her happy
little life. But of course he could not
make her baby again.
Half past 49,
If she could only have stayed a
schoolgirl few years longer that
would have been a comfort and she
might have done it just as well as not.
1t was really only a matter of the
length of her skirts. They had been
suddenly lowered in the spring from
her shoe tops to within an inch or so
of the floor and Elsie had gayly an
nounced that she was grown up. OF
course it was all nonsense. She wasn't
grown up, even though she piled her
thick, shiny hair so high on her pretty
head. One o'clock
Why didn't she come? In the morn

That his eyes were dim and his hear

His speech toothless, faltering mum

His though a queer and confused
tumble,
His walk tottering move of fears
For he had been sleeping for fifty
years,
But still he was eager to hear the
news,
Though things did rather his brain
confuse.
When he went to sleep Taft was Presi-

Prosperity had returned again,
Content was filling the breasts of men
And repentant Democrats were crying,

He saw great things had come to pass,
All unfamiliar, strange and new
Things like fairy tales now come true.

And now an election again was on.
