On the Wrong Track

IN its reply to the request Of the Young
1 Mems Progressive Association for infornla-
ton as to the cause of the dismissal of GER
tain employees from the Gas Department, the
Administrative Board replied, very properly.
that its action had been guided by its best
judgment. 1t might also have replied, to the
advantage of the members Of the association,
that they would be much more likely to be
in reality a progressive association if they
pursued their investigation into municipal
affairs along other lines than the employ
ment and discharge of laborers in the Gas
Department.

women in a Thunderstorm.

Whenever the lightning flashes, when
ever the thunder roars
I think OF the frightened women folk
that nervously pace the floors;
The queen In her castel chamber the
maid in her stuffy room
Are sisters during n thunderstorm with
fear OF common doom.
And whether It's night or morning
whenever the clouds appear
I think of tho frightened women folk
who nervously sigh "Oh, dear"
I fancy I hear them calling the chill
dren from their play
And closing each door and window.
for this Is A woman's way.
There's never fash OF lightning let
loose in the troubled sky
But most Of the women tremble and
utter startled cry.
There's never a peal OF thunder let
loose in the worlds great dome
But the women sit in terror and wish
that men were home.
The dame with her jeweled fingers,
the woman OF high degree.
And the pitiful drab in her lowly
haunt have this equality
That never the lightning flashes and
never the thunder peals
But each faces the sclfsame danger and
the sclfsams terror feels.

Think Twice.

Think twice before you send
the note in which you give your
anger vent, in which you reck-
lessly devote yourself to skinning
some poor gent. For doubtless
when your anger cools, you'll
kick your spine up through your
hat, and say, II was the prince
of fools to send a man such rot
as that! "Think twice before you
pass along the scandal that you
heard last night; you may do
some good man a wrong that
years of effort can't set right.
And though the story true may
seem, why rob ii neighbor OF his
goat? From your own eye re-
move the beam, before you reach
for t'other's mote. Think twice
before YOU jaw your wife; there
was a time, some years ago, when
you declared you'd make her life
as cheerful as d picture show.
Alas, she took you atyour word,
as damsels do, and always did;
and all her married years she's
heard her husband yawping
through his lid. Think twice be-
fore you do a thing your soul re-
fuses to indorse; for every wicked
act will bring the certain penalty,
remorse!-Walt Mason in News
