and loosening his hold on the
tiller, let the boat turn directly
about. Weakening some time lat
er, he summoned the captain and
startled him with the report: "I

me another one to steer BY"
Such would seem to be the case
with some of our youthful sky
pilots. The Bible, as Gods
Book, written by the pens of in
spired men, and containing al we
know of the biography of the
goldman, is the one star to be
kept in view as we move onward
toward eternity.

OF the dialect poems one of the
best is "Li'l GAL" scrap of
love song which is full of music
and fun and human nature, and
the strongest possible contrast to
the wretched and vulgar dog
gerel which, in connection with
the so-called "rag-time" passes as
negro verse.

Where shadders didn't fall;
But shadder's just the other side
Of sunshine, after all.
An there amt no use in fumin'
When the world seems out O
gear
Fer music's always in the air,
An love, an song, an cheer
Jest keep a feller's spirits up,
An kinder make him glad,
An come what will, he's bound
to think
Life amt so awful sad.
Sometimes a Teller has ter weep,
Sometimes he has ter laugh,
The shadders an the sunshine
mix,
Jest kinder half an half.
