twenty-first, which is the date on
which other departments are ex-
pected to start the Saturday clos
ing.

/ do not fear the Bolsheviks
With all their dark and wicked
tricks.
For well I know my feIlow-men,
And what they are. and what they've
been.
Are proof to me of what they'll be
When comes the call of anarchy.
Whate'er their station, high or low
Deep in their hearts there CLEANS
the glow
or honor and respect for right,
And earnest seeking for the light
And at the call of anarch's brood
They'll stand as they have ever
stood
Fast unto principles as old
AS law itself my fellows hold.
For tyranny of any kind
They have no tendency of mind.
If 1T be mob or jgilded czar
1t cannot flourish where they are.
They are not brutes, but stalwart
souls,
With eyes intent on chosen goals
That they shall reach through ef-
fort true
According to what things they do.
Builders, and not destroyers. these
Are proof against all anarchies!

Today Rhymes on
By a Log Fire.
By EDMUND VANCE CooKI


BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
Once, in an old forgotten land,
Long sunk in oceans mire,
The members of our naked band, -.
Thrusting their foreheads in the SAINT
Crouched round the sacred fire.
Perhaps a thousand years had gone
Since, budding in the grass,
We wretched slaves had set upon
And lured a mighty mastodon
Into the bleak morass.
And there he made a barbecue
To feast us all the season through
Once, as dying prince, lay
Upon my funeral pyre
A priest, in hideous array,
Bent DER my glazing eyes to pray,
And give me to the fire.
And once, one long, black night, astrid.
Two happy savage days,
! laid my logs and at my side
Held fast my stolen, girlish bride,
And watched her by the blaze.
And laughed to hear the tiger's whine
Outside the circle of its shine.
A man may have been born and bred
Inside of palace wallis
.And never once have couched his head
Outside a warmed and periumed bed
And superheated halls.
Yet, set him by wood-firs's smoke
Upon the frozen wilds,
And fragrant memories evoke,
All bitter-sweet of smart and choke,
And wrondrous as child's.
