ECCENTRIC
BY ROMA LOURI.

Eoo=.51tsric the world might call him
For want OF a better word,
To describe man. 1t could not under
stand,
Whose protest n9ver was heard.
His general appearance against him
or the kind, called shabby genteel"
His linen was frayed,
He needed a shave,
And bis shoes ran down at the heel.
His manner was cold and forbiddIng,
his speech was bitterly curt;
His words were carefully chosen,
AS though intended TO hurt.
The pitlful few who knew him,
Admitted that he was odd,
Yet each would declare
He was built on the square
And swear TO II, by their God.
His enemies and they were many
Would never a chance let slide
To call him fool and fakir
And his present and past derlde.
They Knocked at his long, slim fingers,
They leered at his mlrthless smile;
But they al agreed,
That he showed his breed,
Though his clothes were lacking In
style.
He ne'er got along with women
IL was not repusion or fear;
But his efforts to please were futile,
They retreated when he came near
But, somehow, the children loved him
They would stare an instant or two,
Then with glad little cry,
To his arms they would fly,
And cozily snuggle and COO.
And this man, though cold and for
bidding.
Would talk In baby's tongue:
With their eyes ell a-eleam, the.
would listen
To stories that ever are young.
The dogs In the street would greet him
They did not pretend,
Each welcomed a friend
Who had chanced TO pass their way.
There's depth OF understanding
That wise folk cannot reach;
That is left to be sounded by children
Who play on Life's pearl-strewn
beach.
There's a wealth Of appreciation
That only the animals know

Is beneath the ban,
And passes from blow TO blowi

Ny Beauteous Yankee Rose
A soldier Boy 10 His Swccthoart.
BY DANIEL MoNAGLE.

There's a dear spot in Columbia.
Along the Brandywine
Where the balmy winds OF Springtir
Sweep through the oak and pine.
Where midst ambrosial sweetness
The river gently flows,
7 met my dearest treasure,
My own sweet Yankee Rose.
Her golden hair was streaming,
'rhe sunset In II cleaning.
With love my heart was teemlng
Fer my. beauteous Yankee Rose.
Her cheeks are like the roses.
Her lips the ruby bright
Her skin is like the lily.
Her teeth a pearly white:
To match her peerless beauty
Her golden hair II flows
In wealth OF ringlets shining
To deck my Yankee Rose.
And feel in rapturous frances
As through II the sunlight glances
For the beauty IL enhances
OF my own sweet Yankee Rose.
We tttu tiit uuc1 hidiutho
OF many sunny CLINE;
rye felt their wtching glances
And their beauty so sublime.
But you'll flnd the maldens fairest
Where the Mississippi flows
They're queens OF all the nations
My own sweet Yankee Rose,
I've seen some lovely faces
Whose outline beauty traces
But none possess the graces
or my lovely Yankee Rose.
In beauteous. France I'm roaming,
Among its lovely scenes,
Where many j boy is charmed
BY its bashful dark-eyeG queens;
But in fanny Oft wander
Where the river gently flows,
And clasp you in my arms,
My own sweet Yankee Rose,
And hear your sweet voice crying
In accents softly signing
Came DER the billows flying
To your own sweet Yankee Rose.
There was no longing, never,
Such as feel for you
i've pledged my love forever
And forever I'll be true.
MY heart is sore In anguish.
My yearning no one knows.
Until once more ! meet you,
My own sweet Yankee Rose,

And naught I'll now Of pleasure
Until ! claim my treasure,

1t is true that the United States

THE principle objections to the

is absolutely nothing in the provision
which would prevent Ireland. Egypt,
India and other countries from
gaining ultimate freedom. Only
external aggression il prevented.

There are arguments for and against
non-intervention, but l am inclined
to think that had this article been

never have been "A world war. Aus

a possibility that there might be no
