clear what he by this ohand remark about the
possibility France getting her lost territory back

\ REAL MAN.

\ REAL MAN.
Men are OF two kinds. and he
Was OF the kind I'd like 20 be.
Some preach their virtues. and a
few
Express their lives by what they do.
That sort was he. No flowery
phrase
or glibly spoken words or praise
Won friends for him. He wasn't
cheap
or shallow. but his course ran deep.
And 1t was pure You know the
kind.
Not many in life you find
Whose deeds outrun their words so
far
That more than what they seem
they are.
The kind you live, the ones you
tell
Back through his years from age
TO youth
He never acted one untruth.
Out in the open light he fought
And didn't care what others
thought
Nor what they said about his fight
If he believed that he was right
The only deeds he ever hid
Were acts of kindness that ne did.
What speech he had was plain and
blunt.
His was an unattractive front.
Yet children loved him; babe and
boy
Played with the strength he could
employ,
Without one fear. and they are fleet
To sense injustice and deceit
No back door gossip linked his
name
With any shady tale of shame
He did not have TO compromise
With evil-dOers. shrewd and wise.
And let them ply their vicious trade
Because OF some past escapade.
Men are of two kinds. and he
Was of the kind I'd like to be.
No door at which he ever knocked
Against his manly form was locked.
If ever man on earth was free
And Independent, it was he.
No broken pledge lost him respect.
He met all men with head erect.
And when he passed I think there
went
A soul TO yonder armament
So white, SO splendid and so fine
II came almost to Gods design.
