Savings of Bright Children

"The tendency of young parents to talk of the bright sayings of treir own particular cherub Is well known" said man of family, and often they un- consciously weary their friends by some supposed bright remark little Willie has made. I will take chance at remark my little boy made last night, while reading his primer, that l con- sider rather apt, and will tell 1t for what it is worth.
 He was reading about butterflies and in the description of the anatomy of the beautiful little insects he came across the sentence, "A butterfly mas ten thousand eyes He struggled through the sentence slowly, and as the full import of the sentence dawned on his mind his own eyes opened wide and looking up said in tones of the utmost conviction, Gee, no wonder you cant t catch 'em.

 It is well, indeed, that Birmingham has the national good roads convention this week. There is no greater nor better work undertaken by any people of this country than this.
 Good roads bring neighborly association, economy and practicability to all sections. They eliminate profanity, encourage econ- omy, and are profound of responsibility. Be 1t the OK cart, the wagon, the surrey or the motor car, if the road be good the smile runs rampant and the good spirit is vigorous in the heart. There is none of the nasty which bursts forth from the best of us when the big mudhole claims our team and our temper.

TENTS OF TROUBLE"

TENTS OF TROUBLE. A very attractive book of verse by Damon Runyon, entitled Tents of Trouble" has been issued by the pub fishing house of Desmond Fitzgerald, New York MT. Runyon has been an adventurer since the age of fourteen and while he is only 27 years old now, he has had great many experiences. He is at present engaged in newspaper work, with occasional excursions into the realm of verse. The poems included In Tents of Trouble" have a pie turesque setting and . a decided Kip lingesque swing. Most of these poems appea red in various well known maga : zines and periodicals before being col ected in book form. MT. Rnnyon writes in an interesting way of army life. the wanderlust and kindred themes. He has a striking vocabulary, as we'll as an intimate acquaintance with the scenes and incidents which he describes and for that reason his verse is character ized by vivid coloring and bold rhythm we'll suited to the exercise of his muse. A quotation will show MT. Run- yon at his best in humorous poem. -

THE BRAVERY OF WOMEN

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 The announcement that women are to race in the sky during the aviation meet of the Harvard Aeronautica al association is responsible for the query: "Is woman growing braver?" Not at all. There were brave women as well as brave men before Agamemnon's time. Woman may be clinging, emotional creature when trouble is asleep, but when the fire bell rings she is seldom afraid of the fire escape-and any married man knows that she seldom surrenders.
 It is true that caterpillar will throw Ter into hyterics, that she hears bur glars and just knows something is go- ing to happen" but, despite this, do you not recall that quotation from Mar mion:'

A DAY OFF.

A DAY OFF. He's dreaming by the river, There's music in his soul; He hears the willows signing, The ripping waters roll. The golden sunbeams glancing, Steal softly through the leaves And all the worlds so happy There's naught in nature grieves. He's dreaming by the river, Where frolic breezes stray, Like any lazy fellow Upon a holiday. The fish may not be biting, But little does he care. For the birds are singing merrily And blooms are everywhere. He's dreaming by the river,- The slow descending sun Discovers him still stretched at ease, As If all tasks were done. So fair the scene around him, So free from strife and din, He fain would lingee there for aye And never toll again

o Woman in our hours of ease,
 Uncertain, coy and hard to please.

 When pain and anguish wiring the brow, A ministering angle thou,
 It doesn't make any difference whether the ministering is to be done on the fir ing line or in a pest-ridden boarding house. Like Horatius at the bridge, woman is there unafraid, coura geous as, more courageous than, a lion. When the real test comes she will hold her finger in the break in the dike and save the coun- tryside as well as any of your young male heroes, and, though the deck itself be burning, she will stand at the wheel in the cinders, her train mussed up between her ankles, her hat on one ,ar and stick to the ship until the Kearsarge quits fir ing, the Alabama goes down or the deck is completely destroyed by fire. Therefore, why should she not fly?

 But censure or no censure, I am of the natural optimistic. When the other fel- low would do clever work I am for him, and when able I shall take a club to the one who would throw stone in his path.
