Hiram just for the pleasure of hearing
her answer.

And so they placed Hiram Jenner's

YOUR BOY.

You do not know what is in him.
Bear with him; be patient; wait.
Feed him; clothe him; love him; he
is a boy, and most boys are bad.
You think him so light-hearted, and
fear he is light headed as well. But
remember he calls you father.
When he played in your lap, you
fondly hoped he would some day
be great ad useful man. Now
that he has grown larger, and his
young blood drives him with glee-
full sport, and makes him impatient
of serious things-rattling playful,
thoughtless-y you almost despair But
don't be snappish and snarlish, and
make him feel that you are disap-
pointed in him. He is your boy, and
you are to live in him. He bears
your name, and is to send it down
the stream of time. He inherits
your fortune and fame, and is to
transmit them to generations to
come.
1t cannot be otherwise A daugh-
ter divides your fortune, transmits
less of your fame and loses your
name. A boy is more nearly him
self than anything else can be. It
is thru your boy you go down in
history; thru your boy you are to
live in the future; by him you are to
act upon the generation that is to
come.
It may be difficult to govern him,
but be patient He may seem adj

EGYPTs PAST

Perhaps ten thousand years have

Ger Egypt's misty past,
Locked in Times urn her secrets
kept
Still sacred to the last.
Old Karnak's broken columns
Lie PROSTATE in the sand,
Lifts not her head to tell her fate
Obeys Times magic wand.
The pyramids still enshrouded -.
In mystery's mystic veil,
Are silent as the sphinx, their guard
VIII tell no age old tale.
From sceptered king and shackled
slave
Her mummied dead still sleep,
As round the rock-hewn sepulcher
The past her vigils keep.
The gifted Nile will still bestow
Her boon of virgin soil,
And Egypt's sun-browned natives
Still go about Their toll.
The future still Will dig and delve-
Among her buried old,
But the guarded secrets of her
past
No time will e'er unfold

Does the fellow who fails to vote
because of the corruption in poll
tics remedy the institution by stay
ing at home? If he is thinking
man should he be satisfied with
the administration of affairs IN
which he has not registered his
sentiments If a man is physically
able to be at an election how shall
we determine the class to which he
belongs if he fails to vote? There
are two classes, the disinterested
class and the class which must be
paid for their day. Both types al
most invariably say that elections
do not make them anything. For
this very reason many OF the VI
tai offices of the district where
government is closest to the people
are let go by default or else filled
by incompetent Office holders. Sup
pose states should pass laws dis
franchising voters who had failed
to vote at any time during the past
five years through neglect. Would
MT the same listless citizens howl
about their inalienable rights and
the injustice Of the laws?
