The Great Boon

The boon OF peace is good as
wheat, succeeding years of
sadness; it took the GOODNESS
from our feet, and filled our
hearts with gladness. All day l
speak about the boon, in crisp,
well chosen phrases; at night |
sit beneath the moon, and
boost the same like blazes. It's
good to wake at dawn, indeed,
and cut some sprightly capers,
and not be half afraid to read
the war news in the papers. It's
good to wander through the
grad and not hear people say
ing, "Alas! Alackt The news is
bad! The Huns are busy slay-
ing!" It's good to walk abroad
once more, and meet the early
risers, and hear no reference to
gore, to nutty kings and kaisers.
Some things are slightly out of
plumb, and kickers are dis
gusted, but reconstruction soon
will come, and things will be
adjusted. We have the good old
boon of boons, the dove of peace
is soaring, and he's not worth
two picayunes. who spends the
long day roaring. We can't get
back in half a day to where the
runpus found us, but with the
good old boon in play no prob
lens can eonfound us.
