Good For May Flowers

TT was an April day. The sun
shone. the birds twittered and all
nature seemed joyous. on a
crowded street car was a young man
of twenty-five with long hair and a
poetic countenance. He was dressed
from top to toe in his new spring
suit, and a dozen different passengers
decided that Il was OF the latest cut
and fitted like a glove.
Suddenly this poetic young man
looked out Of the window and mused
to himself;
"Oh. April. Month OF tears and sum
shine. One hour the tears fall, and
the next the sun bursts forth to kiss
them away. But for the tears and
sunshine there would be no May
flowers"
Evening journal., 1915-04-24

Several passengers who overheard
mis- remark smiled 10 themselves. but
the man beside him quietly asked:
rs there any cash in it?"
"sir. am not a poet for cash. but
for love of the beautiful"
They both got up at the same time
TO leave the car. and the rain poured
down in deluge, and he had no
umbrella AS he made for the curb
stone. his gay outfit like a wet rag. the
other shouted after him from the plat
form
GO to it. my poetic friend. It's the
tears Of April bringing forth May
flowers. but you ought to have had
sense enough to bring an umbrella
along"

But when the Ice Kings passed away
And spring comes drifting back,
She throws aside her heavy turs,
And hangs them on the rack.
From clothes that would withstand
Alaska's fiercest chilly squall,
She blossoms out in garments thin.
That are no clothes at all!
