Agony of Last Mile.

Between the two and three mile marks
the oarsmen begin to grow weary, and
they are nearly blinded by the sweat
pouring down their faces. At the three
mile mark the light oars seem to weigh
a ton, and they cling to the water as if
it were moIasses. But the men show no
signs OF quitting. The last mile means
FIVE minutes of agony. The coxswain's
shouts become faster and faster. The
stroke Increases. Now comes the supreme
test OF grit and nerve Slowly but surely
the bow OF the beat creeps forward and
the crowds grow wild with excitement.
The men are splashing and the shell
rocks, indications that nature is fast
yielding to exhaustion. One hundred
yards from the finish the stroke jumps up
20 thirty~eight to the minute. and finally
the shell flashes over the line It is al
most impossible to breathe, but what is
the need OF breathing when you have
won?

UNSOLICITED FRIENDSHIP.
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

You cannot ignore the mosquito.
He doesn't retreat at Your scorning
And no invitation is needed.
He searches You out without warning,
No one though you did him favor,
Could make a pretense to be kinder
He comes to You singing his sweetest,
And going he leaves Il reminder.
Although on your dignity standing,
Preferring to be but 4 stranger.
He isn't rebuffed by Your GOODNESS.
But comes like an OK to the manger.
He does not delay for permission
Or ask if you have an objection
Like one who has rights of possession,
His calling is not ostentatious.
For when you are reading or writing
He stealthily comes without knocking
And straightway proceeds with his Bit
ing.
And Ger you're aware of his presence
Or gathered that things are not norma,
He's done what requires an expression
In language that isn't quite formal.
You cannot ignore the mosquito.
He is not by dignity halted.
This skillful. persistent mound builder
Strikes back, though he's not been aa-
saulted.
You find him no favcrites playing.
The saint is as good as the sinner,
For each to the other Is equal
When he is in search of dinner.
