But that was, l feel very certain,
Before they invented the fat
Before every corner and crossroad
Along on each side of the street

With goods that were ready to eat
The home that the poet had pictured,
That had in his mind such q charm.
Was some little cot in the village
Or some roomy house on the farm,
With vines running over the doorway,
With porches both shady and wide,
A lawn and some trees and q garden
And old fashioned eating inside.
His mind didn't banker for dwellings
With walls that were bare and severe
Up three flights OF stairways and maybe
A few darkened rooms in the rear,
Just room for a very small woman

And, waiting him there on the table,

was impatient of advice.
He drove away from his support men
like Hadley and Deneen, who had con-
tributed TO his early success and with
out whom his presidential pretensions
would have had no foundation,
Everybody who differed with him was
liar and a thief
His later speeches became vollies of
abuse, softened by quotations from the
bible and religious hymns rewritten
to suit the exigencies of the hour.

him doing something for somebody
The somebody is Professor Barker, a
misanthrope.
In rescuing Professor Barker from
his fear that every man is his enemy,
Douglas is freed from his fear of God,
whom he has heretofore regarded as a
stern judge, instead of ever-present
Love.
While he is engaged in his good work
with Professor Barker-a work which
involves him in an encounter with a
couple Of desperate criminals-Mrs.
