THE
PARABLE
OF THE SELF
STARTER

my fellow men. And serve many Committees
And have done my full share Of Crsnking For the
world Is tolerably full OF Cranks, and OF them
do not turn easily.
And there are many good who contribute
something TO the worlds speed, OF whom Il may
truthfuly be said that the labor that IN necessary TO
Crank them exceedeth the producvencss of their
effort.
Now II is to te remembered that there arc some
people who have too good Self.Starter, and who
have no SteeringWheel, and who 20 arnuck down
the Pike, coIlding with everything In sight And /
say word OF appreciation concerning their footless
activity.
But i have the Impression that when the rood
people enter Heaven, the Celestial Traffic Angel will
say, All you Self Starters may 20 straight in and
keep to the right and keep moving; for ye Will not
impede the Traffic.
But ye who have had TO be Cranked for every
blessed thing have eyer done on earth may park
for few generations outside the Gate and we will
see what we can do for you after the Rush Hours

LINCOLN
ny BERTON BItAI.Ey

There is cult today which sneers
At obvious and simple things.
Greeting the commonplace with Jeers;
A tribe whose scorn forever filings
It's shafts of bitter. mordant mirth
At all who simply work and plan
To do their duty on this earth
And face each task the best they can.
Lincoln, your labors give the lie
Toscynical PHILOSOPHERS.
And all your deeds and words deny
Their specious. numbing fallacics
For all your vision and your power
That thru nations crisis bore you
Lay in the fact that hour by hour
You did the obvious thing before you.
Rail-splitter. lawyer. president.
Your eyes were ever clear TO see
The Truth above all argument
The Right in its simplicity;
Keen az the AK you swung so well
Your mind. with all its homely wit,
From every problem slashed the shell
And went straight to the heart Of it.
And thus by sim y, obvious ways
That subtler minds were blinded TO.
You led land thru darkest days
And freed people: you held true
To what the common soil had taught
And what the common folks believed
Thus was your mighty labor wrought
Thus was your miracle achieved.
Oh. simple soul. supremacy great,
From you we learn how common clay
May balk despair and conquer fate;
Therefore we honor you. today;
Who rose TO every obvious need.
And in whose lineaments we trace
The common. human lines--but read

Fra aternity B alls
Planned For
Autumn

During the autumn, when brides
are so numerous and the festivities
Of -Sar-Ben so interesting, society
usually feels that the women and
girls are having more pleasure than
men, but not so this year. There
are to be some 'big tines of which
the women will have only a small
part.
Phi Rho Sigma medical fraternity
and Delta Tau Delta fraternity will
hold their national conventions IN
this city. Phi Rho Sigma will be IN
session September II, Is and IA and
will have their headquarters at the
Fontenelle, as will Delta Tau Delta,
which will meet August % to II. .
The occasions when girls will
participate in the pleasures are the
balls. Then the wives, sWeethearts
and best girls will have golden
opportunity to display their latest
fall frocks and gowns.
The Phi Rho Sigma dance will be
held Wednesday evening, Septem-
ber IA. at the Blackstone ball room,
and the Delta Tau Delta party will
be given Saturday evening, August
81, at the Fontenelle.
Phi Rho Sigma, which has two
chapters in Omaha, one at Creigh..
ton and one at the University OF
Nebraska College of Medicine, is
fortunate in that the Nebraska chap
ter has house where some OF the
convention activities will probably
take place. About 80 delegates and
as many alternates are expected, as
we'll as a large number of alumni
who are located in the middle west.

Marriage and a Career

Marriage and a career.
Husbands and, we'll, say Poetry?
My dear, l would not for the world
discourage you; but
Well, here is my story:
l wrote a poem once, a good one,
too.
I sent it to a magazine. it was ac-
cepted.
had maintained modest silence,
though puffed up with pride,
Till it appeared,
And then l hurried with it to my
husband,
And, with ttrobbing heart, stood
waiting while he read it.
This he did slowly and carefully.
He gave it back to me without a
word of comment
Either upon its content or its ar
tistry;
But, with an injured air-you know
the way they do
He said:
why have you kept this thing a
secret from 1Ilc, MIDI y.
l was bit dashed, still in my new JOY
| got away with it.
But, when again genius laid hold on
IL me
And wrung from out my soul an
other gem of poesy,
Without delay, | took it to my hus-
band,
Again l stood with throbbing heart
and waited.
All this was years ago, my dear;
but l can see him now,
An ample man. with heavy rims
around his glasses,
Holding that precious slip OF paper
in his hand
And slowly reading.
He read it over twice, three times:
He turned the paper over as though
to be assured
That he had seen it all
And then he gave it back to me.
He looked me over thoughfully;
He laid, a gentle hand upon my
shoulder
And said, in such a kindly voice,
There, there. dear, that's all right.
Suppose l just don't go to the office
today
And you and I will take a good
long ride into the country,
The air will do you good"
This thing or something like it hap
pened to me twice. three times;
I've finished now, even a wife can
bear only so much.
And now | know that first sweet
child of my unfettered fancy
Will never have a little brother.
Marriage and career?
Husbands and, well. say POETRY
Was Alice Carey married? Or her
sister. Phoebe?
Does Amy Lowell have a husband?
And can you mention a second ia
nous poem by Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe?
My dear, l would not for the world
discourage you:
But, child, not all the mute in
glorious Millions rest in country
churchyards.
