A Piece To Speak

If you have nut to crack, crack it,
If you have boot to black, black it,
fyou just sit back and grin,
When your chance is very thin,
You will never, never win.
Swing your whip out in the win'-and
crack it.
If you have load to lift, lift it,
If you have some sand to sift, sift it,
If you just lie on your back,
When you have bag to pack,
You will never make track.
Throw your CATERS in the sack and lift it,
If you have some work to do, do it,
If you have a log to hew, hew it.
If you just sit down and play,
Where there's something in the way,
You will never win the fray.
Get your old clothes on today-and do it.
-Uri Aueritt IN, The Great Divide.

White Your Troubles Away

When it's looking little bit blue at the
house
And little bit gray at the mill,
When she wants piano, or blouse,
Or the business is rottener still,
There is one consolation especially fine
When matters are blue or are gray
Just. get out your knife and splinter OF
pine
And white your troubles away.
When notes are maturing and projects are
not,
The future is harder to see,
Whan prices are far under what
You thought they would certainly be,
When creditors always are right on the job
And debtors are slow on the pay,
Don't give up the battle, don't sorrow and
sob
Just white your troubles away.
l reckon there isn't trouble on earth,
Or was since beginning began,
That really and truly was actually worth
One-half of the worry of man.
figure there isn't trouble or care
Tomorrow to come, or to-day,
A single vexation on earth anywhere,
That man cannot white away.
There's something so sweet in the smell of
pine,
So graceful the curl of the wood,
A scent from the shaving as pleasant as
That gets you to feeling so good;
That things that were tangled are straight
ened at last
And labor is simple as play.
Whenever you think you are stuck good
and fast,
Just white your troubles away.
Religion is something man really needs,
The Bibles friend and a guide;
But more consolation as living proceeds
The Lord has seen fit to provide.
A jack-knife, think, is help unto grace,
And you may reach heaven some day
If, when there is worry over the place,
You white your troubles away.

Rain on the Farm

A long, gray day on the old, old farm
A day of wind and brash of rain,
BlurriDg the hills with veil of blue,
Drenching the valleys again and again.
The red clay road is rivulet run,
The trees drip, drip through the long,
long day.
The others fret at the loneliness,
But I-why, my SOULS up and away.
My air ship? Well, just the books you see.
It's only day like this I've time
To enter the region love so we'll,
And steep my soul in its tender rhyme.
Back to the wars and kings of old,
Back TO the days of the Golden Grail,
Gross seas and hills and caverns deep,
Ever through mystic lands sail.
All, what a wonderful world back there!
l hold my breath as bend to read
knights, gnomes, ladies and fairies, too,
With drifting garments and shimmering
hair.
Pm lifted out of the "Every-day''
Into world like dream of light.
But the vision fades, for the old clock warns:
Time for bed. Goodnight goodnight!
Tomorrow day of patient toll,
For the clouds may lift and the sun may
shine
But today have lived in Fairyland-
The rain and the wind have made it mine

visions come trooping through the haze.
In cypress-grove by ruined fountain

nude goddess, smiling and unafraid.

Leaves From Our Poets
Just Hearts
By Mr.. J. b.

Today the flowers need rain
And then some hearts will be sad;
Tomorrow the sun shines again
All, then those hearts will be glad.
Some want the cold and the snow
No need for the sun to shine
While some around the hearth's glow
Wait for the summers fair sign.
Somewhere a traveller alone
Tonight, is vending his way.
Aweary, forsaken, unknown,
Waiting the breaking of day.
Somewhere in mansions of gold
They hear the winds moan,
But they think not of him in the cold
Nor hear his hearts stiAed groan.
Out on some far lonely strand
Where stars watch DER from above
Yet lonely, alone there's hand
Has warmed the hearth with her love.
All, happy he'll be in this life
Who finds in times total'd sum
The joys midst sorrow and strife
To take all the things as they come.

The Gypsy Wind

Wind O. the silvery dawn,
Wind O. the morning star,
Why are you calling, calling?
Over the hills ATARI
Why are you urging US on,
Wind O. the silvery dawn?
Wind o the setting sun,
Wind O. the afterglow,
Why do you beck and whisper,
Or isn't it we'll to know!
Surely the race isn't done,
Wind O. the setting sun?

Failure

Failures just resting place
On the road to try again;
Just slackening of the pace
And a pause for sturdy men.
Just temporary halt
On the march to wealth and fame
Where you can correct your fault
And 60 on to play the game.
Failure is not thing to dread
1t is just hint to you,
Ere you dash too far ahead
To be careful what to do,
It's the side track where you wait
For the passing fast express;
Get up steam! The run is straight
Out of failure to success.

Mass was held in the Auditorium last
Sunday morning, Father Barry officiating.
They say that the best men this coun-
try ever had, died poor-of course that does
not cast any reflection on ]. D..
We are we'll prepared at present for the
cold weather, as several big cars of coal
have been piled up alongside of the engine

Several cars of raw material were re-

will keep that department busy for some
time.

Our auditorium and dining room are
large, yet every seat was occupied last Satur-
day by the big gathering of the Washing
ton County Better Farming Association.
There was quite good deal of sickness
among the guards and inmates during the
recent, severely cold days, but all seem to
get over the spell and return to work.
There is now plenty of material in the
warehouses to start the night-shift--that is il
they intend to make twenty million pounds

The Saltwater Mayor, Mr.. Kolliner. is
humorist of class. He kept the big audi
ence, during his address in the Auditorium,
in smiles and good humor last Saturday.
No wonder he is so popular among his
fellow citizens.
The house steward had his hands full
last Saturday. Besides the inmates he had
to feed about 1900 of the Washington Co.
Better Farming Association. Yet he took
care of them all and they were highly
pleased with the fine treatment they received
at our institution.

What Might Be Done

What Might Be Done
What might be done if men were wise
What glorious deeds, my suffering brother,
Would they unite
In love and right, II
And cease their scorn of one another?
Oppression's heart mi ght be imbued
With kindling drops of loving kindness
And knowledge pour,
From shore to shore.
Light on the eyes of mental blindness.
All slavery, warfare, lies and wrongs,
All vice and crime might die together;
And wine and corn,
To each man born
Be free as warmth in summer weather.
The meanest wretch that ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Might stand erect
In self-respect
And share the teeming world tomorrow.
What might be done? This might be done,
And more than this, my suffering brother
More than the tongue
Fer said or sung,
If men were wise and loved each other.

native of st. Mary parish and
came to our City to accept en-
