ABOVE THE CLOUDS.

Beneath the boughs Of an apple tree
Where the grass was soft and green,
A little boy lay dreaming
OF the circus he had seen,
He thought OF the clowns and monkeys,
And the great giraffes so tall,
But thought the man in the big balloon
Meat wonderful of all.
He watched the birds as they SKINNED
the breeze"
And were lost in the clear blue sky,
Ana he wished that little bows had wings
So that they, too, could Nv.
He dreamed Of taking balloon trips
And OH how he longed to go.
And when the privilege really came
He could hardy believe il was so.
Things always come TO him who waits, y
So in Eighteen Eighty-nine
He mad the chance TO take the trip,
And thought it would be rne.
He was tied in, and given his orders
For the tenth tlme-more or less
And at last-well, he started.
Frightened al first, | would guess.
He could hear the cheering and shouting
OF the people who gathered in crowds
And watched the brave Young fellow '
Till he vanished among the clouds.
He realized his isolation,
Far from any tamlg ali,
But knowing that God was with him,
He did moi feel afraid.

Exit The Devil

A reader recently took excep-
tion to the use of the word
devil" The word as used In
the Mirror refers to the print,
er's devil, and not to his satanic
majesty, and is III general use In
printing Offices throughout the
world. Webster's New Inter
national Dictionary recognizes
this use of the word and defines
the term printers devil" SO
there is nothing wrong wi t hts
use in that way. But since OBJ.
lection is raised the word angel
will be used instead unless in
mood the old time.
and tire-tested word creeps
in. We will enjoy the uni de
place in printerdom-a printing
office without a printers devil.
