JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR A. GUEST

FRIENDS.
These friends O. mine. I count them
Ger
To find the things love them for.
Here's one who brings me merry
smiles
And memories Of the by-gone whues.
The old glad days Of long ago
When youths delights were ours to
know;
We shared the very-self same JOYS
In that departed land OF boys
Studied the self-same books and
knew
The orchards where the apples grew
No gold could change. no time could
dim
The Iustre of my love for him.
] cannot find that pOmp and fame.
Are needful to these friends L claim.
Their love is built on many years.
Sometimes in JOY sometimes I'm tears:
Here is a friendship which was made
When sorrow at my door was laid,
And ne came softly 20 my room.
And in the silence and the gloom.
sat with me through those hours OF
care.
Seeking 20 soften my despair
Shall 1 exchange for greater men
The friend 1 leaned upon back then
/ run my list OF friendships through.
And though the number is but few,
I find my life is woven so
With memories of the long ago.
And kindly hands stretched out TO
me.
That wheresoe'er I turn, I see.
The smiling face OF ones who's stood
To help and cheer me when he could
have not loved these friends OF
mine
For fortunes gold or pomp's design
or stations brilliant display
Thank God our friends aren't made
that way

APRIL I. 1921
WANTED A DAY FOR WISE MEN.

DR. william z. Barton. in an article current just
how. offers a suggestion that looks like something
good enough 20 be passed along. Today is which
for centuries has been sacred to the memories and
the pranks OF fools FOR hundreds Of years in Eng
land It has been the custom of groups OF giggling
tervant-1naids 20 send some simple swain 10 the
bookstore for copy Of 1.-THE Life OF Ewes Grand
mother" or to the chemists for pennyworth Of pi
geons milk and to be labeled a fool for trying to
please them The practical Jokes Of this anniversary
are hoary with antiquity, and there is little likeli-
hood that this any similar editorial will ma
feriaIy lessen them. DR.. Barton asks
but why should a day be set apart for fools?
Have they not days enough already Are not
sufficient fraction Of the whole round Of days
from January TO June and on to bleak Decem-
Der sufficiently given over to folly? Why not
have day for wise men? And why not
dedicate April 1 TO men and deeds Of wisdonT
One notable anniversary. All Saints day. has
transformed in order; why not
change All Fools day, and on one day seek
everyone of to be wiser"
no one knows better than we, how futile the
suggestion is The folIies OF April far too dear
to the world for any such suggestion to carry, but
Il is worth considering.
BY the way. one OF the most noted literary
Jokes was Ierpetuated by learned man who was
horn on April J. 1899. His was Robert Surtees
and he was an antiquarian Of note. When his supply
Of genuine antiquities gave out he fabricated old
ballads and palmed them off on Sir Walter Scott
each OF them with a clever story OF how he came
b. them; and Scott died without learning that
the ballads which published "by the courtesy Of
Mr.. surtees' were made to order by that oblgins
gentleman.
Some really wise men were born April /; as
Tor example William Harvey. discoverer of the cir
culaton Of the blood who was born in 1873. If on
April /. you have occasion TO call taxi you might
be Interested i'm remembering that the business Of
the hackney coach. Of which the taxi is the
cessor was established in London with four coaches.
and we first heard Of it on April l. 1889 when it
had been operating for five years. There was great
Protest against It, because it harmed the business
CT the Thames boatmen, who denounced the drivers
Of coaches thieves for stealing away their trade.
One OF the watermen was poet, and has left his
bitter complaint in verse. He was not the last
who used that term thieves concerning drivers Of
hacks
Which, however is just by the way. It merely
goes to show that Arrl is not exclusively a day

THE TN COW.

have been much intrigued by
Henry Ford's proposal to make an
automatic cow have given. the
proposal as much thought as my
mental capacity Will permit. and my
first reaction is one Of regret. I am
afraid that Henry will not do right
by our Nell.
Having known cows from my
early childhood 1 am somewhat ac-
quaintedI. with their general style Of
architecture and their various ap-
purtenances and appliances and il
grieves me TO say that nature has
overlooked a great many things that
would contribute TO their comfort
and which I am afraid Mr.. Ford will
also overlook in view of what he
has done to his tin namesake.
In fact the only respect in which
nature has improved on Henry in
the accessory is that Henry has
equipped the Ford with only one
horn. Otherwise the cow goes
through life without a top TO keep
the sun and rain off She has no
bumpers either front or rear. She
has only one set Of hoOfs, good for
1 believe about 10000 miles. She
has no chains to put on when it rains
and no windshield 20 keep the
breezes out of her eyes as she chases
the buttercups here and there
through the bOsky dells.
When Henry makes his automatic
cow I am sure ne will arrange for
some improvements. Nature designed
the COW a long way back and has
not kept up with the march of pro-
gress. Henry viii undoubtedly equip
his automatic COW with a cream sep
