Last night I stood in a tawdry place
And watched the ways of the human

And saw them thrown in a tangled
heap
SPRAYING and squirming and several

And unto the wife who was standing
by,
These are angels to be-" said I.
I followed the ways Of the merry
And heard the laughter and mirth

Into a barrel which turned and
swayed
Men and on1e a journey made.
And tumbling together they seemed
to be

Eagerly seeking a chance to play.

And care is bitter ana duty stern.
And zach must weep when it comes

And all grow weary and long for play.
But here is laughter to end the day.

but better the laugh than the dreary

Many the foolish things we do.
We grow silly and seek q smile
In a thousand ways that are not

And God shall forget on the Judgment

predominant feature of the European
summer in the year 1920.
Down on this island-an area of

the farms are becoming FESTIVE. They

who might report what they have
said. Therefore. they have spoken
freely and %candidly, and as soon as
they understood that the man they
were addressing was an American,
nothing could deter them from spon-
taneous expressions of admiration and
devotion.
AS a rule, they acknowledge that
they are somewhat dissatisfied with
the present peculiar position of
America in that the country is neither
at war nor at peace with Germany.
1t is probably difficult to realize in
America what this queer situation
means yer here, but it Is so conspic-
uously noted as to always call forth
interrogations as we'll as comments in
the course Of purely informal conver-
sations.
There is some interest in the po]it-
ical situation as it is developing in
America. but far more importance is
attached to the ever growing belief
that the regeneration now needed by
the world at large, is to come from
the United States.
Things to Be Re.valued.
A new valuation of things and con-
ceptions is needed, and o hear it
said on every hand that America can
bring it about because that country
has shown to a world, that at first re-

the presence of mind displayed by Mr..

the extreme right that an accident was
avoided
There is an ordinance requiring
automobilists end pedestrians to give
fire trucks the right of way when an
alarm is sounded and violations of that
ordinance should be followed up by
vigorous prosecutions tx
The false alarm is said to have been
