Three small boys were Playing
out in an open field. Two of the
Boys were Very Mean, but the
other one was a Good Boy. The
two Mean Boys got mad and went
to Throwing Rocks at each other.
The Good Boy stood off to one
side and said.
"Looky here, you Fellows, it s
wrong to Fight, and you ought not
to do it. But since you are 60
ing to Fight anyhow, I'll pick up
Rocks and hand to you-if you II
pay me for it,

CESTORS

o man-O monkey-tadpole-
protoplasm-
Whate 'er thou vert from which
we evoluted-
TO thee | now address this rhym-
ed spasm
On questions long disputed.
] know not if thou hadst two legs
or forty,
If thou didst walk or fly or go
a-swimmin,'
Or if thy skin was hairy, thick or
warty,
Or like us men and women.
I know not if thy home was in the
ocean,
Or high amid the forest
boughs a-swinging,
Or if thy young was tended with
devotion
And motherhood s soft singing.
But that's all right guess thou
vert as happy
AS us, thy children, here where
Time hath thrown us.
How dost thou feel to be our race s
pappy?
Art thou ashamed to own us2
Thy simple life in prehistoric
age
Of course we know it had its
limitations;
Thy wars we're nothing to the war
that RACES
Among our "Christian" ma
tiOns
With naked claws and long, pro-
truding tushes
Thy warrior rent his bleeding
foe in sunder;
To-day on motor-trucks artillery
rushes,
And speaks in voice Of thunder.
