The Progressive Farmer has dis.
covered the following outburSt of
poetic genius:
The mule he is funny sight,
He's made of ears and dynamite;
His heels are full OF bricks and springs,
TornadoeS, battering rams, and things.
He's fat aS any poisoned pup;
It's Just his meanneSS SWellS him up
He's always scheeming round to do
The things you most don't want him to.
The mule, he lives on anything;
He's got lovely voice to sing,
And when he lets ii loose at noon,
1t sounds like buzz saws out of tune.
He stands around with sleepy eye
And looks as if he'd like to die.
But when tleres any dying done
1t amt the mule. Ii bet bun.
Some folks don't treat mules with re.
Spect;
They say they amt got intellect;
That may be SO, but il you've got
10 60 to heaven on the spot
And want way that doesn't fail,
Just pull the taSSel on his tail.
The mule, he tends to his own biz,
He don't look loaded but he is.

FINDS LESSON IN THE WAR
Dean Hodges Points Out Four Things
Learned as Result of
Great Struggle.

That there are four great lessons be-
ing taught by the present war in Eu.
rope was the declaration of Dean
George Hodges of Cambridge Theolog-
ical seminary, former rector of Cal
vary Episcopal church, Cambridge, in
sermon on The War;" from the pull
pit he used to occupy in Calvary, re-
Gently.
This war will teach that a nation
is not exalted by material strength,
said he. ITO be exalted nation must
have, besides material strength, the
true ideals of brotherhood. The sec
ond lesson that this war is teaching is
that might is not right, and any nation
that thinks so to the contrary will re-
greet it. The third lesson is that peo-
pie have been wrong in saying that
men are invincibly selfish, for this war
offers thousands and thousands of
cases of men gladly giving up their
lives. The fourth lesson is that the
old belief that war is glorious is A
false belief War Is far from glorious
and we are realizing it today as never
before Because Of the neglect Of ma
tional Christianity we find this war
existing today. Christianity is for ma
lions as we'll as for individuals and
that will be the one great, comprehen'
sive lesson this war will teach"

temple, in East Eighty-fourth street,
in the vocal accomplishments of sew
eral hundred canaries which had been
brought here from various cities un-
der the auspices of the Central Soci-

The birds were brought into the au-
ditorium from a darkened room, and
as soon as they saw the light they
burst into song. The critics listened
intently, observing each trill and qua
yer, and presumably in their reports
will tell those in good voice, whether
they sang artistically or not and what
the chances are of this or that yellow
bird making good if he studies hard
and remembers what the critics say
about him.
Prizes are to be awarded to the best
