ToDAY's POEM
THE UNEXPECTED

One Knocked at death, or being strong
of limb
And fearless, death on terrors had
for him;
'ttFrom out my course I shall not
move a jot,
Let him approach at will; fear him
not!''
Yet, when the conqueror whom he
thought to meet
AS man meets man, erect upon his
feet,
Came creeping in long twilight shad-
ows;e he
Fell on his knees and writhed in
agony.
Another, not se1f-confident but frail,
Feared death from his youth upward;
cen Would quail
AT every, shadow which upon his path
Seemed pointing toward him in its
sombre wrath.
Yet, when death came, not wrapped
in heightened gloom
As, all life long this man expected
doom.
But sudden in the sunlight, not a trace
OF fear remained; he met him face
to face. 81,

DISREGARDING
PROPOSAL TO HER
Dear MisstL.ibbey:-

Dear Miss 1IbD6Y:-
I am past II, had company of youth
of 49, First I cared nothing for him;
as we were schoolmates paid no at
tention to his affections. I grew to
care for him, as he said he did for me.
He visited four times, lastly confess
ing his love for me. Asked me to wed
him Foolishly I did not. make him
anxious by considering, but consented.
1t was the last time 1 ever saw him.
One week from his proposal, received
his letter, saying: Disregard what
we spoke of Sunday This hurt my
feelings. If I ever meet him socially,
as expect to, am to treat him as a
discarded lover or a friend? Please
advise.
E.B.
Be slightly pleasant, only nod, and
pass on, as if formally introduced Let
him appeal to you, and try to win your
love again. He doubtless was too
youne to know his own mind You
will find a. better companions Ali is
well that ends well.
