ON THE SPUR

BY ROY z. MoULroN.

At Last.
In eighteen hundred and twenty When
Jim Purdy was nineteen,
He wrote a comic story for a wen
known magazine
The story was accepted py inc eo-
linn Purdv got the news he was the
happiest of men.
He Thought of course his story Wouio
within a month appear,
But strange to say it didn't get IN
print at all that year.
Ten wears he waited, then ne wrote
quite anxiously to learn
The reason, and they told him that
his yarn must wait its turn
He called upon the editor along IN
sixty-nine, ,,
And was informed his story was still
waiting in the line
He asked for information as to "neh
it might appear.
They told him that it might perhaps,
come out most any year,
linn Purdy waited patiently and lost
his teeth and hair.
And bought each issue hoping he
would find his story there.
He talked about it all day long and
dreamed of it at night;
His observation-disclosures children
could not understand him quite.
One day the mail man brought a
check, Old Jim pricked up his
ears.
Twas what he had been waiting for
nigh on to ninety years.
That week was sure lucky one. me
magazine came too;
He trembled with excitement as he
looked it's pages through.
His one hundred and seven years oil
seemed to leave him when
He let warwhoop out which seemed
to make him young again.
I'll write some more" he cackled, as
he quite forgot the past.
I've lived to see the thing in print
They've published it at last"

Wichita has q curfew law which
requires children under 16 years of
age, unaccompanied by proper
guardian, to be in their homes by 9

MAN AND NATURE.

MAN AND NATURE.
o steadfast trees that know
Rain, hail, and sleet and snow,
And all the winds that blow;
But when spring comes, can then
So freshly bud again.
Forgetful of the wrongi
Waters that deep below
The stubborn ice can go
With quiet overflow,
Contented to be dumb
Till spring herself shall come
To listen to your Songi
Stars that the clouds pass Ger
And stain not, but make more
Alluring than BEFORE
How good it is for us
That your lives are not thus
Prevented, but made strong!
