A REQUIEM

Breathes there man, with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said:
''My trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another eight-inch sd."
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him no bank account shall swell.
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him liveln calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies go plant him deep.
That naught may break his dreamlesf
sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispel.
The quiet that he loved so we'll.
And that the world may know its loss,
Place on his grave wreath of moss,
And on stone above, "Here lies
A man who wouiin't advertise"

GATHER WOODS FLOWERS

The woods around MiddletoWn are FL
led with flowers. True, they lack the
fragrance ofcultivated flowers, but they
are beautiful, abundant, clustering close
as if for mutual protection and assurance.
And few adults and children are putting
in the bright afternoons gathering them
in punches for the table and to make
flower wreaths for the little heads. It's
worth while, in all the hustle of things,t
step aside from the material and to 90
with the children to the woods. 1t is
about the most innocent thing one can
do and about the most profitable for
health. Aside from the pleasure of it,
science agrees that the smell of sod, the
air from the green, is good for physical
man. That it rests the weary brain every
one knows who knows anything. Even
if STOPPING does produce a twist in the
back and sides, that's good, too, because
there are muscles there that need exer-
else. And. then the wholesome, entire
goodness of i'll After all, money and
automobiles, fne feathers and social sta
ton, lands and chatteIs and jewels, are
insignificant when compared with the
eternal wo de, the peace of man, love Of
things and the things of life. Out in the
woods, plucking flowers, the children OF
the rich and the children of the poo,
share the same delight, vie in the same
pursuit of the beautiful From the skin
in ward we are all much alike: from the
skin out doesn't matter And that's why
it would pay you to go the woods and
pick flowers.
