HAPPINESS.

Happiness is not without thee,
lNot in boarding nor in spending
Not in pomp Of friends about thee
Though the world should jeer and
flout thee,
All its wrath and clamor sending.
Ere it reach thy hearts strong
portal
All may die to sound and shouting;
And thy gladness be immortal.
It's the hearts repose and peace
Strong in greeds and haste's sur
cease,
lowered with the graves seven,
Joyous in it's sins release,
Glad of earth and sure Of heaven!

The Fool-Ki1ler is not even a forty

its field is as broad is the English

Great books never do.
And then l started The Fool-Killer,
just to quiet my r and keep the

From the s%eclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
a bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations of
society and cause the Church of Nam

The Fool-Killer will be a monthly
mustard-plaster for the b1ood-boils of
Society, Church and State.
II will be sailed with wit, peppered
with humor and seasoned with sar-

every word will raise a blister.
