Brad's O. Verse
COLOR BLIND.

"One thing is sure" observed the
deacon. "One fact confronts us.
strong and sad; the moral lid must
quit its ,leakin', or this world 9
going to be bad. Folks used to act
with some decorum as they walked
down life's dreary path; but now
scarce can get a quoruB whene'er
l talk of sin and wrath. They'd
rather be somewhere advancing the
turkey trot or grizzly glide; the
whole blamed outfits madly
prancing straight down a pathway
steep aud wide; our politics are
simply rotten; society is froth and
scum; all ancient precepts are for
gotten-the world is surely on the
bum" The deacon, like so many
others, is getting slightly color
blind; he sees the bad deeds of his
brothers, but never tries the gooi
TO find; he walks through dark and
narrow valleys where joy and sun
shine never smile, he sneaks
through back yards and through al
legs, and walls DER every rubbish
pile. Oh deacon, cease your dis
mai croseing; you'll never know
life's highest plan SO long as you
persist in poking among the rinds
and garbage cans.

Beatrice. He told Wycherly that
she would be a treasure TO any
