Be Not Ashamed
BY ALFRED ARNOLD.

BE not ashamed to weep;
Nor hide the hollow art
The pain that rankles deep,
The wrongs that rend and smart;
No, If you have heart
Mourn for the woe that sears;
Be not ashamed Of tears.
But be ashamed Of eyes
That keep a cold repose,
And the spirit that denies
The agony it knows;
Turned stony through the years
Be not ashamed of tears.
The heart that counts il gain
To help. shall hold loves throne;
who SCOTS at others pain
He shall not ease his own;
But shall walk on alone,
Followed by mems fears,
BE not ashamed OF tears.
Look whore a father sighs.
And mourns his first-b dead
Hark where some woman cries
Ger love when love has fed.
/ Unlock your eyes and ears:
Be not ashamed OF tears.

GENERAL BUTLER

WASHINGTON. May 23-This is
the story Of marine who refused
to die because his superior officer
ordered him to live. Private Roder-
ick Flags Of the marine base al
Quantico. Va, had 10 minutes to
live. The doctors told him so. That
was a month ago. Yesterday Flagg
walked along a sunny porch over
looking the Potomac river, laughed
at his experience and planned to
leave the hospital.
Brighten. Smedley d. Butler. son
Of Thomas d. Butler. Representa-
tive from Pennsylvania, veteran
chairman Of the House Naval Affairs
Committee, left his breakfast one
morning when told that Flagg could
live but a few moments and had
expressed a wish to see him before
he had to go.
Walking briskly to the bedside Of
Flagg. who could scarcely breathe
because Of double pneumonia, Ger
eral Butler looked into the face Of
the youth.
Marines don't die i'm bed. MAJ
ines die on the battlefield" General
Butler said, so Flagg declares
You've got to fight and fight hard.
You've got to fight for life, Flags
Are you going 10 do it?"

adding: THAT made me feel kind O.
good"
Now. what do you want?" the
General asked me- and l told him l
wanted some buttermilk. l had been
drinking sweet milk, but couldn't
keep 1t down any more"
General Butler asked the doctors
why the boy had not been given
buttermilk. and was told that it
should not be prescribed in this case.
We'll, you have told him he can
live only Is minutes; why not get
him what he wants? Go get some
buttermilk," General Butler said to
his orderly.
A few minutes later word was
brought to General Butler that there
was no buttermilk to be had on the
Quantico reservation.
where's the nearest place you
can get it?"
fredericksburg, p miles away,
sir was the response.
Get the fastest car in post and
go for it," he commanded and turn
to Flagg.
Now, Flagg. he said. you have
already lived longer than they said
you could. You have got TO live
until we go to Fredericksburg and
get your buttermilk That will take
more than an hour. but you've got
to live until then and after you get
that buttermilk you've got to put up
a fight and get we'll
They brought me the buttermilk,
and l guess drank a half gallon of

Almost all accounts of the Clifford
family seem to go back TO one Os-
borne. or Osbern, Giffard, or Clifford.
or Gyffard, as his name is variously
spelled. He was a Norman noble,
who went to England with William
the Conqueror. Sometimes he is
spoken OF as Osborne Bolle by name.
and then it is said that he was given
the name Clifford. Ginard. or Gyffard.
which meant liberality or generosity
The name is often spelled Giffard
in Great Britain, though here it is
usually Clifford. Ii seems to be more
usual in wales than elsewhere.
The Giffards and Giffords seem to
have had peculiar aptitude as clergy
men and jurists II may be that they
owe their success in their callings to
a persuasiveness and eloquence of
