More Truth Than Poetry
POETS.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

The lyrics penned by Bobbie Burns
With lifting love and longing laden.
In which he voiced his various yearns
For this or that attractive maiden
Were founded not upon the hope
That he could win them all-the fact is
He merely wrote that sort of dope
To keep in practice
He sang about a perfect Jane
ar past his power to attain.
The fervent praise of Paradise
That Byron often would outpour
Describing treasures past all price
Upon that far off glorious shore,
Did not, historians will agree
Proceed from any expectation
That Paradise was going to be
His destination.
He knew. contemporaries say
hat he was bound the other way
And today when poets sing
Of perfect love-of perfect worth
Or of perfect anything
That they have found upon this earth
That do not seek attainment of
The subject of their glowing praises
They merely write because they love
To fashion phrases.
However musical their stuff
It's ffty-hfty bunk and bluff

campaign, and only the larger
forms-war savings stamps and
Liberty bonds-are being pushed
for that purpose. The only reason
urged for buying thrift stamps now
is that the habit of thrift among
the American people. will grow.
The smallness Of the price of the
stamps and the fact that they are
on sale in SO many places, brings
the occasional and often f1eeting
desire to save close TO the oppor-
tunIty to do so by investing in
these stamps.
The campaign was inaugurated
with the purpose of giving ample
opportunity to save, as well as to
establish bases for the buying of
the larger forms of government
bonds. 1t was given the COM
mendation of many economists,
who agreed that such opportunity
for wise saving is particularly
needed by the American people.

Molly Holmes Beats II From Home
When Joe Gets Pussy. and She
Doesn't. Wear Much.

Molly Holmes, colored, 1902 Fifth
avenue, fed the streets in a
nightie last night until she was
stopped by the police.
MoIlie said she was forced to
run from her husband. Joe Holmes.
Joe, she said, was the best husband
on earth when sober and the worst
when drunk. Last night he hap
pened to be drunk. When he
came in for the night he began
striking and cursing his wife.
Molly said she stood it as long as
she could and tried to talk reason
to her husband, but to no avail.
Finally he became so enraged from
the booze, that he threatened to
kill her and leave.
There was nothing else for Molly
to do, but fee, according to her
story, nd she did that with light
ming speed, leaving all clothes be-
hind.
When Molly was picked up by
OfflcerB Green and Miller about
midnight. she was taken back to
her home and a search made for
Joe.
Her Clothes Gone.
They caught Joe before he could
escape, but he had made away
with Moilys clothes, and had
bnrned some.
So his wife was forced to ap-
pear in court this morning with
out shoes and missing many other
garments. Joe, who also appeared
was then as meek as lamb. The
booze had died down within him,
