MONGRELS ARE THESE,
BUT THEY DELIGHT
A BOYS HE A R

Standing upon his own back porch
The other morning, the newspaper man
saw in his backyard a mouse colored
burro and a yellow dog that might
have been a cross between a dasch-
und and a sheepdog, If one should
Judge from his looks. They were Meth
er fish nor fowl. these two. They be-
longed neither to the dog kingdom nor
that of the mule. Outcasts, both OF
them. Beyond the pale. Insignificant,
humble. plebelan and unclasslhed.
Homely as sin. Awkward and ungain-
ly.
But even while the newspaper man
unused upon these things two small
boys hove into view and while one
rushed to the dog to pet him the other
went into raptures over the burro. The
dog was fed and the cockleburrs pluck
ed from the burro's eyebrows by loving
hands. And when the newspaper
man went away the four of them were
thick as thieves, the two boys and The
two derelicts of the animal kingdom.
And yet, after all, the boys may be
right and the newspaper man wrong.

cur in faithfulness and love to his
small master? Blessed are the meek.

there is anything that moves and

low dog and fuzzy burro. the news
paper man has yet to see it.
A solemn faced, sad eyed burro and
a poor little old yellow dog. But they
were things of beauty and joy forever
for these two boys. There is some
subtle sympathy between them and the
right sort of boy. He will oppose
parental authority to the verge of re-
bellion to feed and shelter them and
load them with kindness and affection.
You can almost judge boys char

treatment of an outcast animal in dis

pup and the Mexican's automobile to
furnish them happiness for day.

When he sang of the laddies that

A face hard lined with burrows where
the pillow of pain had driven.
Blue eyes that had grown shadow
set through many a sleepless

The face of one who more than life
ungrudgingly had given,
Who called on us to do as we'll

VOICES OF GHOSTS

(''At the Outsiders Listening Post.")
Always the same
Through the golden sunlight or the
drifting rain.
Low winds or gales now know bu,
one refrain.
Whispering, pleading can hear
them calling
Whether at dawn or where the dusk
is falling
Come to the center of the worlds
red heart
Amid the graves Of those who have
done their part.
Where blood swept France is beckon-,
ing today
Through those who've given more
than life away.
Before the last great valiant chance
is gone
Come on-come on-come on"
Always the same
Through the deep night. or in the
crowded places
Watching the mighty tide of drifting
faces,
pleading, / can hear the
call
Across far plains or in the city's
wall
Come to your post and take your
fighting chance
For Life, for Love. for Liberty-and
France
On through the ghosts who wait amid
the slain
To see if you have let them die in
vain
Before the last great valiant chance
is gone,
Come on-come on-cone on"
