AT EVENING.

At evening 1 walked along ia
miliar ways
Of a boyhood home. Here a
brief time ago
We played and learned through
out the -fleeting days
That we might take our place
where duty bids us go.
The old hills stood as then, an
endless row OH row,
A memory from which the
merry life had fled;
All else was changed. No gay
lads running to and fro;
No lowing cattle passed with
fadenced tread.
| miss the playmates who are la
boring hard
Back in the market place. the
farm, the mine,
And the little mounds there in
the dim churchyard,
Where Slumber others till the
end of time.
When solemn dusk crept down
the green clad hills
A sense of other loss came with
the dew.
For gone from me were the old
time leaping thrills.
OF love and beauty-the dear
little girl | knew.

ly at home in Tampico, the great
Mexican oil town, during the
last few years." says a bulletin
ot the National Geographic So
ciety, issued from its Washington
headquarters.
This was the port to which
United States gunboats were sent
recently when the closing down
OF American oil wells and refin-
cries becaue of heavy Mexican
taxes threw thousands of men
out of work, and disorders We're
feared.
"Tampico, long a port of no

mushroom growth in the last 10
years continues the bulletin.
Its population increasing from
less than 1900 in 1906 to well
over 100000 today. And the en-
planatiOn for this great stride
forward can be given in the one
word-oil. The biggest guSher
the world has ever known was
drilled near Tampico in 1908 and
scores of other huge streams of
oil have been opened up in the
same vicinity since. Hundreds of
millions of gallons of oil have
passed through Tampico. and the
town has been the financial and
business headquarters for fields
many miles away.
Money flowed easily into the
pockets of ii large number of
American managers and trchni-
cal workers who were brought
il, and into the hands of Mexican
landowners, merchants and day
laborers. The World war raised
the demand for liquid fuel to I'M

There was some liquidation also because

~ or its way to Washington. Mr..

are powerless in Hawaii before
the labor power and essential
strength of our countrymen unless
America succeeds in driving the
