WEST AND EAST.


A vast new land. half Weakened to the
OF mighty strength; great level PLAINS
that hold
Unmeasured wealth; and the prophetic
thunder
OF triumphs yet untold.
A land of eager hearts and kindly faces,
Lit by the glory of a newborn day;
places
OF an untraveled way.
oh generous landl oh mighty inspiration
That floods the morning of the world
to be-
Thy people are the builders of nation.
Lofty, benignant, free.
Yet, at a trivial word, a stars clear
cleaning,
A birds sweet song, a sunset fading
fast,
There comes a longing for the homeland,
dreaming;
Upon its sacred past.
A land of dear. remembered faces. moving
Through happy days that had to have
end;
Each stream is a companion known and
loving,
And every hill friend.
A longing to behold the mountains. rear
Their great. gaunt heads; and once
Upon the barren, wind-swept headland,
hearing
The surges of the sea.
Henry Adams Bellows, in Scribner' $
Magazine.

THE POOR, sL4ANDERED HOBO.

If there is any one type of American
which the public thinks it knows ac-
curately it is the tramI, otherwise the
hobo. Long has he been catalogued as
a fugitive from work, soap and water,
fleeing from one end of the country
to the other on freight-car brake-rods,
for fear that they will overtake him.
The farmer reaches for his pitchfork
when he appears and the country
schoolboy fees in terror when he en-
counters him asleep under a wayside
tree.
But, according to E. r. Lewis, divi-
sion superintendent of the Michigan
Central railroad, this is all a mistake.
He says the hobo is the best railroad
laborer that can be found .There is
life and energy in a gang Of hoboes
that is difficult to detect in any other
class of track laborers," he declares
THE hobo can be reasoned with He is
ar intelligent, independent, working
unit He is good in emergencies where
European laborers prove to be quit
ters"
Here, indeed, is joy for the enthusi-
astic worker in the social uplift move
ment- But it is to be feared that the
public will not be satisfied of the cor
rectness of Mr.. Lewis conclusions until
he has shown moving pictures of real
tramps, actually at work and showing
that they like it.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-07-19
says UNCLE CAV

over the champagne and sandwiches
the other day one of the worlds cap
tains of finance experienced a moment
of candor.
What is your greatest joy in life ?''
he was asked.
Work and my grandchildren" was
the reply, right from the heart.
This man is rated by many persons
whose opinion is worth considering as
the most influential citizen of his coun-
try. His word is law in vast indus
trial organizations, and in the very ma
ture of things he exercises a huge
power in politics. His name is familiar
to high and low throughout the civil
lied world Combined with the genius
of the financier and the builder. he
has the gifts of the critic and the con-
noiseur. The. elements of, force and
intellect are so mixed in him that were
his vast possessions swept away in the
twlnkling of an eye, his life still would
be infinitely richer than that of the
ordinary man. Practically all that the
earth can give is his.
If power were the prime requisite
for happiness, this man would know.
for he has tasted it in many forms
If place were the open sesame to
contentment, he would know, for none
is better qualified to Judge.
If fame could bring joy una1loyeds
be would know that, too. for few are
moro famous. ~
If riches were all that is to be de-
sired. he would be aware af that fact,
LOT ne IS rlcn beyond the dreams or
the lotus eater.
If the enriching, mellowing innu-
ence of artistic appreciation were the
greatest thing in life. as some contend,
he could speak as one having author
ity, for he possesses and loves the
greatest private collection of artistic
treasures in the world.
And yet we must take his word for
it: my greatest happiness is in work
and my grandchildren"
The world has poured its treasures
at the feet of this man. Seemingly,
there is naught that has been denied
him. And from his magnificent heap
of treasures, he chooses first, not his
millions nor the baubles they have
brought him, but-work and the COM
partnership of children. Therein, he
counts himself truly rich. The rest,
apparently, matters very little.
Here then. upon good authority, we
bring life back to its fundamentals.
This Is the keynote of the democracy
of humanity. Work and children make
the whole race kin. The rich the
powerful, the famous, have little more.
The poor, the weak, the obscure have
no less. And whether he be ARTIFICIAL
ly classed as the one or the other, the
man that finds joy in the work of his
hands and peace in the affection of q
child is brother to big men every
