Quetes kipltng Poem.

Thomas 4. Edison, gray and bent,
looked upon the fire and smiled--smiled
not with gayety but with a camness that
indicates an unruffied outlook upon dis
tiers. His mind seemed TO turn almost
instantly to that poem OF Rudyard Kip
ling's entitled IT" and as his employees
and directors gathered about him to con-
sole he laughed cheerly.
To them he turned with a sprightliness
and freshness that seemed remarkable in
view OF the fact that the buildings to
which he had devoted much of his life
and In which he had worked so hard
were burning.
Sometimes il is hard 10 look AZ the
Wizard OF Menlo Park and talk With him
and at the same time see the sentiment
that underles hts nature. But much
was revealed as he quoted:
II you can keep your head when al abou,
Are losing theirs and blaming Il on YOU"
Then, with rising color and new en-
phasIs, he spoke the last lines OF the poem
'If you can make one heap OF all your
And Xxx il all on one turn OF pitch and
And iose and start again at your begin
uinss,
Ana never breathe word abou, your
Yours IS the earth and everything that's
And which IS morc-youll he man, my
Tho poem characterized Mr. Edison's
attitude all the evening He even laughed
and ioked With his employees and lis
tened to everything that was said Hut
even at tia, he went without his dinner
and would not have eaten anything II his
wife had not hurried from the Edisor
home In an automobile with food in a
| basket
