~ NEuzaDetn FoWere Meff1il)
rne name OF Cleopatra brings great
The glamour of the past: 1
l million scenes that long since went
their ways.
"n doth Up, lips cry Cleopatra" there
The pyramids and Sphinx.
The drifting sands, the bluest Of blue
Into the present sinks.
A face Of beauty rises in mems minds
Dark. light. that they know not.
Only all charm that's found in woman
Queen BY diviner right than that Of
The right that Beauty gives!
The beauty that belongs to all Of earth
Beloved by all that lives!
Egypt and Cleopatra. Anthony!
And days forever great!
Across the silent centuries men see
Rome m 9sss In h shsir o. s iass mighty
And Lesions Of that day
March down the years! and Caesars
Looks from the Appian way!
Was Rome and all its power well lost
What human pen can say?
Love Is a power. the greatest power
Or on earth's troubled way!
So Of the power of love the world will
learn
Back to the love Of great hearts ever
= Through Mfe's unfolding days!
You've heard of the man who. in
removing a useless limb from tree,
mounted it and sawed away between
the tree and himself until the limb
broke at the saving and let him
somewhat quickly to the ground?
Well. how about this one: A man
identity to remain a secret. unless
his wife discloses twas at his sum-
mer cottage. The horse became
cast in the stall. Now, the man was
unable to assist the horse to its
feet. so began to look about for the
next best means of rescue, without
calling assistance. He finally de-
cided that if a stanchion Of the stall
was removed. it would release the
horse. so he began with a saw the
necessary surgical operation. Like
some other surgical operations. this
one was success, but the patient
nearly died from the shock-for in
cutting away the stanchion. the man
released the entire scaffold above
and down it came with its collection
Of stove pipes and other things that
usually gather in such a place. The
cast horse was no longer cast. for.
with jump and a rush it scrambled
to it's feet, half frightened to death
by the terrific noise made by the
falling articles about it's head. body
and heels. The man quickly re-
paired the. damage and quietly en-
tered the cottage. saying nothing
about the episode to his wife-and
has ever since wondered how, she
learned of it.

But I saw quite a sprinkling Of then
