SlMPLELIFEFORC CARRIE

With the money she has made by her lec-
lures and the sale of her miniature hatchets
during the years she has posed as the militant
crusader against the Demon Rum, Mrs. Carrie
Nation has decided to retire to the simple life.
She has made all the money she needs, it is
admitted, to maintain her comfortably in the
fashion she has long hoped for, and now she
will bury the Ratchet, let the world soak itself
in whisky and pickle itself with tobacco if it
pleases and enjoy herself.
The simple life, with Mrs. Nation, means a
nice big farm, with poultry, pigs, pigeons, gar.
den truck and fruits. She has found it in Ar
kansas, and she has concluded it's purchase
with her reform earnings. Henceforth the nasty

SIR HUMPHREY GILBERT

Southward with fleet of ice
 Sailed the corsair Death; Wild and fast blew the blast.
 And the east-wind was his breath. His lordly ships of ice
 Glistened in the sun: On each side. like pennOns wide, Flashing crystal streamlets run. His sails of white sea-mist
 Dripped with silver rain: But where he passed there were cast Leaden shadows OCT the main. Eastward from Campobello
 Sir Humphrey Gilbert sailed; Three days or more seaward he bore. Then. alas! the land-wind failed. Alas! the land-wind failed.
 And ice-cold grew the night: And never more. on sea or shore Should Sir Humphrey see the light. He sat upon the deck.
 The Book was in his hand: Dp iibA Ateii 4itdNtn AS dS HNaAs He said. "by water as by Iandi" In the first watch of the night, Without a signals sound. Out of the sea, mysteriOusly. The fleet of Death rose all around. The moon and the evening star Were hanging in the shrouds: Every mast. as it passed
 Seemed to rake the passing clouds. They grappled with their prize, At midnight black and cold, As of a rock was the shock: Heavily the groundswel rolled. Southward through day and dark, They drift in close embrace, With mist and rain, to the Spanish
 main;
 Yet there seems no change of place. forever southward. They drift through dark and day; And like dream, in the Gulf-stream Sinking, vanishing all away.
