I Remember recalls what happened
to an American girl who offended him
when he was Prince Of Wales.
At q society bazaar the winner Of q

asking three wishes from the Prince
Of Wales. and fate favored young
lady from the United States.
"What is your first wish:" asked
II. r. n.
"Oh, SIR: it is to have your photo

The prince beamed. "Granted," he
said. "And the next?'
II would like you to bring me the
photograph in person"
H. r. II. hesitated. frowned and, re-
covering from his surprise, answered.:
"That shall be done. Now, what is
the last?'
Never was the truth of the saying
SO apparent that .fools rush in where
angels fear to tread" The young lady
disregarded the warning looks from
those around her. "The third wish,
sir, is that you will present me to the
Princess Of Wales"
The prince looked at her coldly.

without word. The silly girl realized
that she had sinned against society.

Harvester Time.

Harvester Time.
Old Harvester Time is cutting them
down.
His scythe is swinging with mighty
pace,
Over the streets Of the teeming town.
Out in the green Of the country
grace:
Friends and companions, the old and
young,
Weak and weary and merry and gay:
On with the harvest, the sickle has
swung.
Harvester Time must he on his way.
Verify, verify, many are going,
The tenderest, dearest, the sweetest
and best:
Flowers that were yesterday seed in
the sowing,
Reaped in the summer of dream and
rest.
Needless be Of our lamentation.
Silent he at our weak appeal:
Only a nod and an affirmation.
And the cruel scythe swings like a
w. fash of steel.
Winter or summer or fall or spring,
Matters 1t little to him, I see:
Tireless. terrible doth he swing
The scythe that may next be aimed
at me.
Fair young lips shall kiss no longer;
Dear old hands shall hold no more;
Lord, cry that my faith be stronger
For sake Of those on the farther
shore!
Ruthlessly, ceaselessly, over and over
The meads Of life and the sloping
hills
He nows the burr and the cookie and
clover.
The kings and clowns and the da9-
fodils.
Friends and comrades and old compan-
ions.
Playmates, teachers and guides and
all,
Blooms clipped Off Of tn eedge Of can
yons,
Withered shadows adown they fall.
Old Harvester Time is cutting them
down,
One by one they are falling low.
The old loved friend in a far-off town,
The dear. true hearts that we know
we know.
Oh, for the greed Of his great ingath-
ering,
Leave US, monster, at least a few
Beyond the reach of your cruel blades

Above the daisies that drink the dew!
