I nun my cigar and I gaze at the smoke
And somehow or other ! see
A vision ~ days when. a youngster ana
broke,
dr.amei NJ my triuTlphs to hp.
I think how I lived on the Cosrsest of fare
And relished II heartily too,
And lived in an attic, uniovely and bare,
Yet laughed at my hsrdsh'ps all through.
An. those were the days when a dollar
And a "V' was A vulsa display;
when, hopeful of spirit and robust OF
health
I laughed all lfc's worries away;
When luxury's height was a beer now and
then
And a reek!ng old pipe brought delight.
That halcyon season VIII come not again
It's vanished forever from sight
But am downhearted? No. not on your
lIfe.
I'd rather he rich than he poor.
Believe me. the past with It's struggle and
strife
Holds never a bit Of allure;
I SNAKE any Havana with not a regret
a pipe isn't In Il for cheer
And tenderloin's better than liver, you
bet
And champagne IL better than beer!

From me Richmond Times-Dispdfch
The fairest girl In all the town
Is Miss Miranda susan Brown.
Her eyes utmatCh the violet,
Her ~rlnglets are as black as jet
An irish beauty she
Her cheeks are like a damask rose.
That In some shaded garden grows,
And when she walks along the street
The village sw aims In age compete
Who shall her gallant he,
But Miss Miranda Susan Brown,
Who skaters hearts In our town
Besides blue eyes n hair Of jet
That combination thrills me vet
Has one more Celtic trait:
And when Miranda starts to rage
she terrifes both youth and age,
Each gallant who would be her slave
Departs in haste. his lie to save,
Nor does he hesitate.

v. CHRISTIAN CHARACTER.
nut Chri,tfan Character Is Educntion's
Highest Contribution to Life.

But the browning contribution Of
education to life equipment is Christian
character. Nothing else can take It's
place. And the education which falls
in this respect has failed beyond re-
demption. 1t becames the enemy of
progress. and should he cast into outer
darkness. man without character.
without Christian character, is
danger to our civilization, and the
better he is educated the greater men
ace he becomes to our free institutions.
We want education. and we will have
1t: but we want education based on
Christian character even more, and we
are determined to have it. We will
not permit any maudlin sentimentality
In regard to the necessity OF freS
thought to rob US Of the most vital
element in any Observation-Disclosures er
and the God that makes character pos
sible. We believe in the right OF every
individual to choose his own religious
faith. hut we also believe that the
educational system should make 1t
easy. not hard. for him to have n faith
at all. Freedom of thought Is not
synonymous with skcptIcism and In
fidelity. and II it is. we will have no
more freedom OF thought. The Amer
lean people have issued their ulti-
matum to this fetish of a deluded age.
They have said to 1t: You shall not
cruelty tho most priceless possession Of
life, Christian character, on your cross
OF free thought. Christian character
has been our nations bulwalk In all
our generations II has brought us to
leadership in national and private life
1t has been our pillar OF cloud by day
and our pillar Of fire by night. II is
to us evidence that the God of our
fathers Is with us yet. and you shall
not sacrifice this glorious heritage on
your altar OF free thought. II your
education cannot give us rs its crown
ing work the sweet fruitage and ex-
quisite charm OF Christian character,
then we will dwell with the Lord In

lcarned," So say the American people.
