SOME READABLE VERSE
THE BAREFOOT BOY,

Blessings on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy, with cheeks Of tan!
With thy merry whistled tunes;
With thy red lip, redder still
Kissed by strawberries on the hill;
With the sunshine in thy face,
Through thy torn brims jaunty grave
From my heart l give thee JOY
l was once a barefoot boy!
Prince thou art-the grOwn-up man
Only is republican.
Let the million.dollared ride!
Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye, H.
Outward sunshine, inward joy:
Blessings on thee, barefoot boy!
So $3.50 ~.
Cheerily, then, my little man,
Live and laugh, as boyhood can!
Though the flinty slopes be hard,
Stubble-speared the new-mown sward,
Every morn shall lead thee through
Fresh baptisms Of the dew;
! Every evening from thy feet
Shall the cool wind kiss the heat;
All too soon these feet must hide
In the prison cells of pride.
Lose the freedom Of the sod,
Like a colts for work be shod,
Made to tread the mill of toll,
Up and down in ceaseless moil:
Happy if their track be found
Never on forbidden ground;
Happy if they sink not in
| Quick and treacherous sands of sin.
All that thou couldst know thy joy,
Ere it passes, barefoot boy!
| John Greenleaf Whittier

When Teller is doin' the best that he
kin,
A-singin' song of a-shovelin dirt
Some Teller that thinks he is smart
will begin -
A-bein' sarcastic an tryin' to hurt.
This life that we live has a wonderful
way.
AS you pause to observe it, it seems
kind O. queer.
The Teller that's toilin' along day by
day
Must furnish the topics fur fellers
that sneer! .
The Teller that tolls has his eyes on
the ground,
And scarcely observes what is
passin' him by,
Till night with it's rest an it's silence
drifts round,
An then he looks up at the stars in
the sky.
He's right unsuspicious, that dull
ploddin' chap,
And-honest! it does seem sort OF
sin
To ketch him unwary, and hand him a
slap
When a Teller is dom the best that
he kin. a-. -,

WHAT ONE kILOWATT OF
ELECTRICITY WILL Do

To the person who knows nothing
about the technicalities of electricity,
the kilowatt hour basis for measur-
ing electrical current remains a pro-
found mystery. 1t is term to them
and nothing else. To say that the
watt, it's unit,-a name derived from
James Watt, the Scotch inventor
equals 0.O0134 horse power or 0.737
footpounds per second, and that the
kilowatt is this power multiplied by
one thousand, scarcely tends to make
the term any clearer or more definite.
It may help, though, to say that the
kilowatt hour means the continuance
of this force for the period of so
minutes, and this force translated into
practical terms is capable of perform
ing a good many wonders. For in.
stance it will operate a sewing ma
chine for 81 hours; it will run an
electric clock for ten years; it will
light 5000 cigars; it will warm enough
water for shaving purposes every
morning for 80 days, or heat curling
iron three minutes every day in the
year, Sunday included; it will heat an
electric iron continually for two
hours; it will run a washing machine
three hours; it will knead eight sacks
of flour into dough; it will toast 12O
slices of bread; it will make 80 cups
of coffee; it will run a Pinch fan

SAY THE WORD

If you have word of cheer
That may light the pathway .drear
OF a brother pilgrim here,
Let him know. ~4
Show him you appreciate "
What he does; and do not wait
Till the heavy hand of Fate
Lays him low.
If your heart contains a thought go
That will brighter make his lot,
Tell him so. s.....
Wait not till your friend is dead
Ere your compliments are said;
For the spirit that has fled,
If it know,
Does not need to speed it on
Our poor praise; where it has gone
Loves eternal, golden dawn
Is aglow,
But unto our brother here
That poor praise is very dear.
If you've any word of cheer,
Tell him so.

The cry of human suffering.

Though all must lose and none ma.
