Daddy's Youth.
I s'pose IT'S disrespeckful. but when Dad
begins TO talk
About his early boyhood. back some
-forty years ago,
/ jes' keep up a thinkin' that I shouldn't
care 10 walk
In the path he says he walked in an in
which I'd orter go
He SAYS he. went to Meeun' every Sun
day Of his life
An TO Sunday School an tother school
as we'll;
An he didn't have no bobsled nor no
money nor no knife.
But was always tryin hard TO learn to
read an write an spell.
He says he always minded what his Dad
an Mother said,
An was gentle with the boys an girls
he knew;
An he never once played hockey nor was
ever sent to bed,
An he never got his burer nor his
washstand drawer askew.
Now, 1t amt for me to doubt him when
he talks about his youth,
An the stacks of goody- goody things
he did.
But sometimes / can't help thinkin', II
them things Is all the truth,
Dad must have been an orful, orful,
orful stupid kid

When We Pray.

AS tired children go at oandle-light--
The glow IN their young eyes quenched
with the sun,
Almost too languid. now that play is
done.
To seek their fathers knee. and say:
Good night
SO. to our greater Father OUT OF sight.
When the brief gamut Of the day Is
run,
Defeats endured and petty triumphs
won.
We kneel and listlessly his care invite
Then with no sense OF gain-no tender
thrill
AS when we leave the presence Of a
friend.
No lingering content our souls to
steep
But reckoning our gaines and losses still,
We turn the leaf upon the dull days
end.
And. oarless. drift out to the sea Of
sleep.
