Heart Beats
BY A. K:

Lifel
You have torn
And bruised my heart
Visited sickness
And woe upon me-
Called down the devils
OF ill-luck
To taunt me-
Crushed my wild spirit
To tameness-stupidity.
You hurled my best hopes
Into pits of Encouragement
Squandered my energy
On hopeless pursuits.
Once my ambition
Was stunned and unhearing-
Youths joyful leadership
Cowed to obedience.
Joy you pitched headlong
Into caverns of sorrow
Robbed me of hope
And of faith.
Encouragement often
Entirely surrounded me-
Nagged my rebounding
Efforts to win,
True
You have left me.
At times with my fancies-
Stubborn Prosperity's hand
l would grasp
But not for long.
I've seen to the core
OF sin
Sickness and sorrow
Briney hot tears
Have washed deep wounds away.
In some of your moods
You've been Diyinely kind
To me
Seemingly blind
To my faults
And my errors
Then
Face to face with death
You have brought me
Where soul-castles of flesh
Released 4 Gagged spirit.
The gold you have given
Brought some slight blessings
Followed by idleness-
Waywardness-N
Spending and waste.
1t. developed a lust in me-
Reduced the love in me-
Apportioned the blessings
To balance the pain.
But
I'm not beaten
Crushed or defeated.
! opep my eyes
And hold up my head.
Today reflect
I'm strong-sane
And combative
Knowing full we'll
There's tragedy around me.
Lifei I know you
And can laugh at you still.
-SELAH.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
What has become of such writer's as
"A Bachelor Farmer" and &C. 0.
Ar" ] am a constant reader of
your paper and can well remember
the interest taken by all lovelorn
fans at the time the above men
toned people wefe SVEN space In
your column.
Why not suggest something of
interest for these people to write
about? The Value Of q mothers
love, or. as Christmas is 80 close at
hand, Christmas with the old folks
at home, are subjects upon which
these writer's could do we'll, consid-
ering the way they handled, other
subjects Of much Hess Importance.
Keep UP the interest in your COL
umn by all means. I for one think
they are beneficial as well as in
teresting.
Do you know the address Of
either Of the above mentioned writ
ers?
AN INTERESTED sTENoa-
RAPHER. e
We do not know their addresses.
This Is column Of advice for the
lovelorn and that subject 10 so COM
prehensive We do not care to extend
the field until all the lovers are
happily married and we apprehend
it will be some time yet before that
can be effected.

A Question Of Behavior.

Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
I'm coming to you with my trouble.
10 1t proper to ask a boy to call
you up? Is 1t proper to ask boy
out to your house? Is 1t proper
to 60 to dances with boys II your
folks do not object?
suppose you think I'm spend
ing my time with the boys when I
should be studying, but I'm getting
a fine education. I'm Is and have
only one more year to go to school
and I'll be through high school.
IL my writing good?
I'll close, hoping to see my an
swer In print SOON
MISS DIMPLEs.
It depends entirely on the spirit
in which you ask boy to call you
over the telephone. Ordinarily
should not do 1t. II there is some
special reason, then 1t Is alf right. 1t
Is your place to casually invite the
young man to call at your home, but
do not insist. II he cares to accept
your invitation he will do SO with
out your urging. I see no particular
harm in going to nice dance oc-
casionally with boy friends II you
are we'll chaperoned and in good
company. A great deal more de-
ponds on your attitude toward the
boys and your own behavior than
whether or not you ask them to call
or accept their invitations to dances.
No Serious Intentions.

The young man is only doing what

by Our Soldiers

Will each person who reads this
help in a Book Drive" such as we
had one year ago? You gave liber-

sent to camps. The need is again
urgent, especially fiction and recre-
ational books for the men in our hos
pitfalls, who must spend time there
recuperating from their injuries re-
ceived overseas. Let US help them
by sending them our GOOD books
the ones we have received or pur-
chased since then. We have read
them and enjoyed them, and now
what better can we do than to pass
them on to our soldiers.
Please send these books to the
Normal School Library where they
will be properly prepared with labels
and shipped to the hospitals needing
them.
Covers & Weld will also receive
books if it is more convenient to
leave them there.

Pioneer Settlers-Died On
Old Homestead Where
She Had Lived 81
Years

mainder of her life. Six children

and devotion to the welfare of her
church and her home. She was
lifelong member of the Catholic

be greatly missed in the community
where she lived her long and useful
