As Good As They Have

A small boy astride of a donkey
was taking some supplies to an army
camp in Texas not long ago, and
got there just as a detachment of
soldiers, preceded by a band, was
marching past.
why are you holding on Il your
brother so hard asked a group of
soldiers who were standing near and
wanted to tease the country boy.
I'm afraid he might enlist" said
the lad without batting an eyelash.

Good Reading for Sunday

The Spirit of 76
1t is coming back again,
And it stirs the sou of men
Like a bugle call that echoes through
the night;
For 1t lives anew as when,
In the forest and the glen.
The farmers rode at Lexington and
put the foe to fight
Who said that it had died
knoweth not, perhaps he lied
For liberty shall live again though
buried in a grave;
And the souls of them abide
Who once battled side by side
To break the yoke of England or
give freedom to the slave
II is coming back again
With the might that moved it when
1t made a tyrant tremble and ruled
a peoples fate;
And they who scorn the right,
Forcing freedom to the fight,
Shall find the spirit strong again that
made a nation great
s. Van Zile in the New
York Sun.

She Was Stopping Out

Father and uncle-Brothers by the
way-had taken the little girl for an
afternoon walk. An accidental meet
ing led to a call at a friends house
Ii was only to look at some books,
but the stay heightened beyond the
dinner TO long after Miss Nearly
Seven's bedtime. She was not the
least bit sleepy and thought 1t a de-
lightful adventure to be held up in
a house with no telephone, but lots
of fruit and candy, and with father
so busy talking he did not notice how
much she ate.
Going home in the dark was even
more exciting-for her. For father
IL was embarrassing because she
would insist that all three take of
their shoes, tiptoe in through the
back door and try and get to bed
without awakening mother.
Where does she get all this stuff?"
sked uncle.
Must be from the funny papers y
answered father. %uneasily.
Hush, dad
"WhyY"
ct think mother hears us"
Father got ahead and squared
mother to let the little one have her
joke. but next morning the imp pre-
tended that she couldn't get up and
that she was very thirsty.
Where were you, last night?" de-
manded mother. with mock severity.
"Oh we had a great night ont, Do
YOU know at the last I was actually
refusing to take'em. F."
Take what?"

With Apologies TO Kipling
A fool there was and he listened long,
"Even as you and L."
To a voice sublime in a beautiful
song,
We called her one OF a type not
rare.
But the fool was thrilled and ceas-
ed to care
Even as you and l."
Oh. the love We waste and the hope
we lose,
Even as you and L."
Our hearts are wrung to the last
red drop.
Our souls are athirst-not because
we choose
We cry for our Eve and cannot
stop
Even a. you and T."
A fool there was-his strength he
spent.
Even as you and l."
He wagered all with q high intent
Did she stop to study and learn
what he meant?
His aspiring soul she crippled and
bent
Though 1t took him long to die.
Her hand will ever leave its mark
She spurned him to roam like a
beast in the dark,
And crushed his manhood's last flick
ering spark
And none will ask her why.
A fool was robbed OF his foolish god
Even as you and L."
His spirit lies prone on the mundane
He curses and kisses the chasten-
ing rod
Even as you and L."
