On the Spur
of the Moment
BY ROY K. MOULTON.

Obscurity.
He was 80 very modest
He couldn't bear the sight
OF his name in the papers,
He hated the spotlight.
He was a shrinking creature,
A modest violet;
Obscurity he longed for
And all that he could get.
He Stunned the public notice
And fought shy of the throng,
Please, let me Sleep was always
The burden Of his song.
He figured on a method
To reach this ideal life,
Removed far from all glory
And chickering's and strife.
He was SO very bashful,
He was afraid Of fame,
He didn't want the public
To ever hear his name.
He solved the problem nicely,
An idea, heaven sent,
He had himself elected
To be vice president.

GOOD BUILDING YEAR AHEAD.

The year 1913 has been a very sat
isfactory one in the building field, but
1914 Is to be much better, according
to confidential reports from repre-
sentative contractors and builders in
every section Of the United States and
Canada collected by the publishers of
the American Carpenter and Builder
in their recent investigation or census
of their subscribers. Great optimism
prevails among builders in practically
every part OF the country. Through-
out New York. Pennsylvania, the up
per Mississippi valley and the Pacific
coast states the outlook is especially
bright.
In all of the North Central states
without exception. builders expect bet
ter business. In the North Atlantic
states: New York. New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Vermont builders pre-
dict an increase: while in Maine. Mas
sachusetts. New Hampshire and
Rhode Island normal conditions are
expected. Connecticut builders are
dubious or too conservative to say
one way or another.
