Real Things.
(By Nels Yingle)
What do you think it means, girl,
The men having their day;
OF wedding gowns and trailing wells,
They haven't a word to say,
Except a little paragraph,
By Just the merest chance,
The rest is all about the man,
And what he did in France.
I'll tell you what it means, girls;
II means We have learned to care
Instead Of what they wear.

Among the treasures of a Topeka
woman is the diary of her grand
father, who was a forty kept
during the strenuous days of his trip
across the continent and the weary
months of prospecting and then after
his return to an eastern state. One
can find many a correct historical ac-
count of this migration, but it is diff
ferent to look into the personal life of
one of these men. 1t is amazing to
see the simpleness and NATIVITY and
just plain nervousness of this man
who was one of the virile, adventur-
some young men of his day; one who
today would have been the first to
enter the army and would probably
have come home decorated with
medals.
After his return from California
he was telling of one night when he
went to a lodge meeting and, after it,
was asked to go riding with some 9TH
er young people. But owing to the
lateness of the hour and a dissatisfac-
ton 1 felt with myself. I had to say
no." The hour he had explained
was $3.50.
In speaking of a girl he met at a
certain gathering. he said she was
pretty and attractive but frivolous and
Indispensable. He seems to have
been interested in her nevertheless,
but he sort of calls himself down. ITO
such a one I would never yield the
treasures of my heart
He is constantly striving for a more
satisfactory spiritual life and is Sc
we're in the censure of himself for
GOODNESS in religious matters and neg
lect of opportunities to serve other
people He tells of killing bears and
deer and of the raids of Indians. But
even more fascinating is the account
of the struggles with himself. 1t
makes one wonder how a modern
diary, if such thing is every kept
by young man any more, would look
in more than half a century.
