THE TRIBUNE'S WEEK

We've done our best for years to

the betterment of the district.

of these organizations will have a

life is Hut a Game of Cards"

Life is ut a game OF cards, which each
one has TO learn;
Each shufiles. cuts and deals pack,
and each a trump does turn.
Some turn high card at the top.
while others turn a low;
ONE hold a hand quite full of trumps.
while others none can show.
Some shuttle with practiced hand
and pack their cards with care,
So they may know. when they are
dealt. where all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupes OF
rogues. and rouges each other
cheat:
But he is very wise. indeed, who never
meets defeat.
In playing. some will lead the ace,
their counting card TO save;
Some play the deuce. and some the
tray. and many play the knaNe;
Some play for money, some for iun
and some for worldly fame.
And not until the games played ont
can they count up the gain.
when hearts are trumps. some play
for love. then pleasure decks he
hour.
No thought of sorrow checks our jug
in rosy hounteous bower.
We dance and sing, sweet music make
our cards at random play.
And while the heart remains on top
our games a holiday.
When diamonds chance 10 crown The
Top. then players stake their old
And heavy sums are won and lost BY
gamblers young and old.
Intent on winning, each doth watch
his cards with eager eye.
So he may watch his neighbors hand
and cheat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps. look out for
war. on ocean and on land,
For bloody deeds are often done when
clubs are in the hand:
Then lives are staked instead of gold.
the days are worn out red.
Across the broad Atlantic now. see
clubs have got the lead.
And last of all is when the spade is
turned by the hand of time.
And always finishes up the game in
every land and cline,
No matter how much a man may win
or how much man may save.
You'll find the spade turn up at
last and dig the players crave.

WHY our Girls DO Not Marry

Since the war ended in November,
1918, a half million women from Eu-
rope have landed on our shores with
the avowed purpose OF seeking hus-
bands. Now when a woman of any
nationality decides that she will mar
~ and is willing to take the stun Of
fered she can marry. Many soldiers
brought home foreign wives, and that
$4,000 on the Rhine are said to be
nearly all married TO German wives.
Many a girl is more widowed in heart
by the death of her soldier lover than
the woman who had married and
sent her husband to the war. Many
returned soldiers had become diseas-
ed or broken in body. and still more
had become alienated from church
and high ideals, so that women who
care for nobility Of intellect and soul
prefer to walk alone the journey OF
life rather than 10 be welded to a
CRATER or half-educated man Not
over twenty-five per cent Of returned
soldiers are now active in church and
altruistic work. The open door for
industry where women can make an
honorable living is. doubtless. an
other reason for celibacy. Very few
women now marry just for home.
Marriage is desirable for everyone
provided there is genuine love and
capabilty Of fulfilling the strenuous
duties Of the married relation on
Goth sides. Iialf-edueationed men
are not attractive to the best class
Of women. and boys leave school for
