A CROSS EYED SOUL.

A CROSS EYED SOUL.
Old Ezekiel Brown keeps sayin'
that his friends are all I'M
kind,
But he's just seem crooked
through the windows of his
mind
No matter where old Ezekiel goes.
he's bound to think he's
sighted.
If he can find some fault with
folks he's sure to be de-
lighted.
He goes around sayin' that this
worlds an awful place,
And when all the earths a-smil-
in Ezekiel wears a stern. sad
face
Always, cen in sunniest wealth
er, Zeke hands out his mourn
full dole,
And I've just about decided that
he has a cross eyed soul.
If some one does favor, think
in merely to be kind,
Zeke I'll shake his head and NUT
ter, Guess he has an ak to
grind
And if new plans for progress
and betterment we seek
They're carefully wet blanketed
at once by Uncle Zeke.
l think this world we're livin'
in is pretty middlin' fair,
But Ezekiel doesn't see the flow
ers. but plucks the weeds
with care.
He never sees the sunshine as
the years exact their toll.
And so it seems to me that he
must have cross eyed soul.

There is an interesting article in the

missionary societies in Vermont. Sew.
eral typical Vermont views are given
and the scene on the cover is glimpse

continue its influence for the cause IN
Vermont which is receiving the support
of the Wholesale Liquor Dealers asso-
