RHYMES
BY WALT MASON
Maidens Fair

In old time books the damsels swooned whene' er they had
occasion; and when with loving knights they spooned, 1t Was
with shy evasion. They were such coy and modest th1hgs, as
boar romance discloses, that if you spoke Of wedding rings
they'd blush to beat the roses. They languished in their virgin
bowers, embroidering, crochetng, or spent the long and u
eious hours the spinet softly playing. They all were known as
females then, the maid and wife and wildly; and when gnls
looked on bearded men, it made them pale and glddy. But
times have changed; no more we greet the girls OF Scott ana
Cooper; but in the modern tale we meet the woman known as
super She doesn't care a picayune for dilcimer or needIej
Won couldn't coax this girl to swoon, no odds how much you
wheedle. To her the old time arts seem vain, and old tradl-
tons phoney; she goes up in a monoplane, or rides a buckmg
PONY. She's struck our fiction with a rush, and when a yarn
is finished. it is the bearded men who blush and hide their heads
diminished. I know it's treason, if not rot, but, tired Of women
ssuper.'' I long for blushing bellies of Scott, and swoonlng
girls Of Cooper.

THE SILENT LAND.

what lies behind the sable veil? s..
That is known by the name OF deaf
What horrors there that make men
quail.
And speak with bated breath?
That stills the beat OF loving heart.
And takes the smile away?
That changes living and vibrant life
Into lump OF clay:
I've delved into the realms of books,
I've pondered II DER and Ger ..>
With an my mind, I've tried to find
What lies beyond the door.
But mortals may not enter in,
The clay is left behind
And before the dooB has opened wide
The mortal~eFes are bind.
And silent the spirit who enters in.
Not an echo or whispering breath
There's myriad calls in the land OF life
But silent Ia the land OF Death,
Not a word to tell from those who go
Not a sign to the friends they've
known.
A struggle for breath then call II death
And they that were here are gone.
l soon shall sweep the veil aside
And face To face I'll stand
With the mystery there-thop I shall
know
The secrets OF the silent laIti
And when I've entered the portals
there
/ wonder IL I'll find
That they've become silent ard lost to
me
In the World I've left behind.
Tho ] cannot see beyond this life,
shall leave il unafraid;
The tomb holds nothing OF fear for me
Since in 1t my Lord was tlid.
Against me IT shall not prevail
For my Lord holds Che key.
And death will end when Jesus my
friend,
Opens the door for me
Open wide-oh death, you've lost your
power
Since Jesus died for me,
III enter your portals unafraid
Sence He waits to set me free.
But knowing Eye done my best,
II doth not appear what / shall be.
III trust my Lord TO make Il right
In the land that lths beyond death

The Parting Hour.


There's something in the parting hour
That chills the warmest heart
Yet kindred comrades, lovers. friends,
Are fsted all to part;
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than the one he leaves behind
No matter what the journey be-
Adventurous dangerous, far,
To the wild deep or bak frontier,
To solitude or war
Still something cheers the heart that
dares
In all of humankind,
And they who go are happier -
Than those they leave behind
The bride goes to her husbands home
With doubtings and with tears
But does not hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas! the mother who penains,
What comfort can she find
But thss-the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind
Rave you a friend-a comrade dear
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
AT length will have an end!
And when you part-as part you will.
Oh, take it not upkind
If he who goes is happier
Than you he leaves behind!
God wills it so, and so it is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful
are. Z,
Than all the rest who stay.
And when at last poor man ,subdusd,
Lies down to DEATH resigned,
May he be happier far
Than those he leaves behind?
There is one class of laborers who
, never strike and seldom complain
They get up at five o'clock in the
morning and never get back to bed
until ten or eleven o'clock at night:
they work without ceasing the whole
of that time, and receive no other
emolument than food aand the plainest
of clothing; they understand some
thing of every branch of economy and
labor from finance to cooking; though
harassed by hundred responsibilities.
though driven and worried. though re-

never revolt, and they cannot organ
