Optimism.

rhe west winds blow, and, singing low
hear the glad streams run;
The windows of my soul throw
Wide open to the sun.
No longer forward or behind
I look in hope or fear;
But. grateful, take the good l ma,
The best of now and here.
[ break my pilgrim staff lay
Aside the toiling oar;
The angel sought so far away
l welcome at my door.
The airs of spring may never play
Among the ripening corn,
Nor freshness of the flowers OF May
Blow through the autumn morn.
Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look
Through fringed lids to Heaven,
And the pale aster in the brook
Shall see it's image given.
The woods shall wear their robes o.
praise,
The south winds softly sigh.
And sweet calm days in golden haze,
Melt down the amber sky.
And so the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play;
And all the windows of my heart
I open to the day.

Riley's Partner In Sign Painting.
It may not be generally known that
James Whitcomb Riley, the poet, was
at one time a sign painter and good
one, it is said. His place of business
was at Peru, Ind, and his partner was
w. j. Ethel, later for many years an
employee of the United States Senate.
Riley forsook paints and oils for the
painting Of word pictures, but Ethel
could never get over his fondness for
brush and colors. One of his duties in
the Senate was to put out the weather
map. On clustering winter days sen
ators used to find the maps borders
decorated with scenes from tropical
jhngles, and when the sessions were
prolonged and the weather got hot ice
bergs used to surround the map which
told Of depressing heat. Senators used
to make mock bets as to whether II
was hot enough to "melt Ethels Ice
bergs."
One day Riley, who had not heard
from his former partner for years, was
a caller at the capitol. Vice-Presidens
(then senat0r) Fairbanks was showing
him the sights. They stopped in front
of the weather map.
"Ethel, by thunder!' exclaimed RI
ley.
There was joyful reunion.
