BROTHERS AND SONS

"on dirty floor at a Shiny bar in
the ante-room OF hell
have seen them stand with DEVILS
leer I have heard the tales they
have heard them brag OF the brut-
ish things, | have heard them
boast OF shame
Till / longed again for the Jewish
God. for the God who smote
with flame.
And / wondered much II there lin
gered still not a dream Of boy
hood land,
Not a tender thought Of a mothers
kiss or a touch Of sisters hand.
For we wander far, and the years go
by and boyhood vision fades,
Yet we are the sons OF the mothers Of
OF men and brother to all the
maids
And Il isn't there in the wilds alone
that the souls OF men forget
In the house OF pride on the polish
ed stair, where the gilded ones
are met
have heard the tale that Is often
told on the dirty barroom floor,
while the idle smiled and the loung-
err laughed and the bestla ask
ed for more
For the thing we are Is the thing We
are, not the thing in garments
new;
And the coat that fits is the tailors
coat but the man inside Is you.
It is such as T. II is such as you that
have made the iests and iades-
Yet we are sons OF the mother sof
men and brother to all the
maids.
YEA the sons we are Of a mother
hood Of a mothcr-love divine
And : cannot Islander this mother
yours-li do not SANDER mine
Yea the brothers are Of a sisterhood
OF the sisters loved or lone
And you cannot SANDER the least and
say that the world shall spare
your own
For womans name and q womans
fame they are sweet and frau
as flowers;
But the strength to shield and the
arm to WELD for the woman's
name are ours.
Let the God-made man Keep his Cod
made trust tH his Hfes last
twilight fades
For We are the sons Of the mothers
OF men and brothers to an the
maids"

For three days Florence evinced not
the slightest inclination to leave the
bunk. She lay on her back either
asleep or with her eyes staring at the
beams above her head. She ate Just
enough to keep her alive; and the

than to make her wakeful. No one
knew what the matter was. There was
the bump, now diminished; but that
it should leave her in this comatose
state vastly puzzled the men. The
truth is she had suffered slight con-
cussion Of the brain, and this, atop Of
all tho worry she had had for the last
few weeks, was sufficient to cause this
blankness Of the mind.
