KINGS.

 Kings have tastes for caGdT things. Glittering jewels and gems of light He is king of all, the kings
 Who has caught the jewel of righti You in homespun over there.
 With your toil-worn hands have tound Treasures of the sun and air,
 And the jewelry of the ground And no matter how you count
 These as humble-face to face With the gems the kings may mount Which is most the commonplace Your true choice of toll and truth, Joy and Elsdness clean and sweet Or the other kings. whose youth Burns the pathways meath his feetf They have built him castles strong, Treasure-houses bound with steel You have no house for your songs, Yet to you the ages kneel- For the housed and armored gold
 Buys more often sin than rest, And your treasure is the heart
 Love keeps clean within your breast. -Folger McKinsey, the Bentztown Bard

O LOVE IS NOT A SUMNER MOOD.

o love is not a summer mood. Nor flying phantom of the brain. Nor youthful fever of the blood, Nor dream. nor fate. nor circunstance Love is not born of blinded chance, Nor bred in simple Ignorance. Love is the flower Of msidenhood: Love is the fruit of mortal pain; And she hath winter in her blood. True love IS steadfast as the skies, And once slsght she never dies. And love is strong and love is wise.
