MORNING AND EVENING"

The Clearwater Sun says that
about every so often the newspapers
print the prose poem, entitled,
Morning and Evening"" by Bob
Taylor, of Tennessee. 1t is one of
the most beautiful things which that
quaint character ever wrote, and
there is no better season of the year
to print it than ri3ht now. Hence
no further apology need be made for
reproducing this ever new tribute to
the morning and the evening:
And for the same very good
reason the Evening Journal here
with reproduces the beautiful brief
epic Of life:
81 saw the morning, with purple
culver and banished bow, stand tip
toe on the horizon, and shoot sun
beams at the vanishing darkness of
night, then reach up and gather the
stars and hide them in her bosom,
and then bend down and tickle the
slumbcring world with straws of
light till it woke with laughter and
with song. A thousand bugle calls
from rosy fires of the east heralded
her coming; thousand smiling
meadows kissed her garments as she
passed, and ten thousand laughing
gardens unfurled their flower flags
to greet her. The heart of the deep
forest throbbed a tribute of bird
song, and the bright waters rippled
melody of welcome. Young life
and love, radiant with hope and
sparkinlgv with dew drops exultant
Joy, came hand in hand. tripping
and dancing in her shining train, and
wished that the heaven of the
morning might last forever.
saw the evening hang her silver
crescent on the sky and rival SPLEEN
dor of the dawn with the glory of
the twilight. l saw her wrap the
shadows around her, and with lul-
laby on her lips, rock the weary
world to rest; then I saw her with
her dipper full of dew drops and her
basket full of dreams, slip back to
the horizon of the morning and steal
the stars again. The gardens furl-
ed their flowers and the meadows
fell asleep; the song of the forest
fell into silence, and the melancholy
water whispered pensive good
night to the drowsy birds and sleepy
hollows. Life and love, with halo of
parting day upon their brows and the
starlight tingled in their hair
walked arm in arm among the gath
ering shadows and wove all the sweet
memories of the morning that il
might never end.
"Thus life steals us from the dust
We wake to think and sleep to
dream We love, and laugh, and
weep, and sing, and sigh, until death
steals us back to dust again.

"Some of these things were taken UP
and put through by other agencies,
and the chamber of commerce is not
associated with their successful cul-

many cities and towns. The com
