SOME MORE ABOUT LIFE. Is life dream or a moving picture? To tell the truth, we hardly know: Sometimes 1t seems such maze of trouble. We hesitate which way to go. And then again the days are freighted With so much gladness, so much song, That we wonder why the millions worry And fill the world with cries of wrong. Sometimes life seems long drawn battle, Desperately fought to be lost at last, With clouded skies for all the future And painful memories of the past; Sometimes 1t is set to a frolic measure, With never a thought or a trace of care, Then word overturns our cup of pleas- And brings back the shadow-shapes of
 despair. So it's always changing-this life is ever A shifting drama of light and shade And 1t isn't dream and it isn't a picture, But each has part that must be
 played. few there are who' pretend to be watch The foolish world as 1t passes by, But the people worth while are the people
 who're toiling- The people who do and the people whe
 try.

 Shortly after this I was sitting by my table one day idling, dreaming, not making any effort to do anything in particular An of sudden my hand began to work on the paper before me with a rapidity and precision which astonished me.
