Digging Up.

Oh, chez, it is a splendid thing
| to see our hard-earned scads
take wing! We're called on,
every week or four, to dig up
coin. and then some moJe. to
to buy some bonds, or help Red
Cross, and joyfully we dig the
dross. Witk other causes grow
ing lax, we're asked to pony up
a tax, or help the Belgians or
rhe Serbs, or buy the starving
Russ some herbs. We used to
snarl like Thomas Cat when
some one came and. passed the
hat we'd frown and make a
1iastv speech about the daughter
Of the leech. But now we
spring no snarls or groans when
we are asked to shed the bopes.
We dig up ali the plunks on
hand, and say, "The cause is
truly grand, and we most bit
terly regret we can't do more,
already yet" Our dollars are no
longer gods; we find it great to
slip our wads. Of course some
tightwads still survive. but
they're ashamed that they're
alive. No longer do they strut
i'll pride because they've for
tunes multiplied; they see in
every glance disdain, and
every hour brings them a
pain. Their ranks grow smaller
every day; they learn to shoe
the wealth away. Great James
1t is a noble thing, to see the
treasured scads take wing, to
have them vanish from our
view, and think of all the good
they'll do! WALT MASON.
