From Civilization,

James Oliver Curwood, author of
THE Flower of the North" tells the
following story about the men to be
found in the country about Hudson
Bay, where the scene of his story is
laid:
! was at Prince Albert" he says,
sitting on the veranda of the little
old Windsor hotel, facing the
Saskatchewan. During the few days
previous a number of factors, trap
pers and half-breed canoemen had
come down from the North. One of
these men had not been down TO
the edge of civilization for seven
years. Three of the Others hsd not
been down in two and this was the
annual trip of the other eight for
there were just eighteen of US sitting
there together.
I'VE were smoking and talking
when a young woman turned up the
narrow walk leading to the yeranda.
Immediately every voice was hush
ed, and as the woman came up the
steps those twelve roughly-clad men
of the wilderness rose to their feet
to a man, each holding his cap in
his hand. Thus they stood, silent
and with bowed heads, until the
young woman had passed into the
hotel. 1t was the most beautiful
seen. And !, the man from civiliza-
ton, was the only one who remained
sitting, with my hat still on my head.

Lines written by the late Joseph Jefferson during

Benedict on the latter's yacht Oneida. Jefferson said
We all of US believe in the future life. but none OF us

The second, quite dyspeptic, seemed to NOPE.

Said number two, I'm sure of our damnation;"

And bar our entrance through the golden gates.

How could we climb the golden stairs?
II maidens shun us as they pass us by,
Would angels us welcome in the sky?

THAT leaves us so forlorn and so unpitied?
Perhaps we've been ungrateful, unforgiving;
Come, come, cheer up" the joyial worm replied,
Let's take a look upon the other side;
suppose we cannot fly like moths or miners,
Are we TO blame for being caterpillars?
viii that same God that doomed us crawl the earth,
A prey to every bird that's given birth,
Forgive our captor as he eats and sings
And damn poor us because we have no wings?

The Pessimist.

Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear nut clothes
To keep one from going nude.
Nothing to breath but air.
Quick as a flash tbs gone,
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand bat on.
Nothing to comb but hair,
Nowhere to sleep but in bed,
Nothing to weep but tears,
Nothing to bury but dead.
Nothing to sing but songs,
All, we'll, alas! alack!
Nowhere to get but out,
Nowhere to come but back.
Nothing to see but sights,
Nothing to queneh but thirst,
Nothing to have but what we've got.
Thus thro' life We are cursed.
Nothing to strike but a gait;
Everything moves that goes,
Nothing at all but common sense
Can ever withstand these woes.

But Senators come high.

Dig the ditch today.

Then the Great White Way.
