An every day Ma squints an peers
To see If I have washed my ears:
But amt ever really neat
All on account Of havin' feet.
These feet Of mine are always wrong
I mustn't shuttle 'em along
Or kick a stone that's I'm the way.
Or If ! do someone will say:
"I wish you'd lift your feet bit
The way YOU walk gives me a fit!
Those shoes were new a week ago
An now you've busted out the toe"
They're always peckin' at me. too,
For standin' like the fellers do.
An just because my toes. turn in,
The teacher makes the pupils grin
by tellin' me ten times day:
PLEASE turn your toes the other
way,'
An even when I'm in my seat
She kicks If just swing my feet
If get nervous an I put
One shoe upon the other foot.

Is that the way a boy should stand 20
An If rest EN- on a chair.
Ma says: Don't put your feet up
there"
An II sit on them they roar:
Please put your feet upon the

I'm eettin' tired Of all this talk
About the way stand or walk,
An anyhow II seems to me-
At least as far as I can see.
My feet aren't any different than
The other fellers round here, an
Some day my temper will explode

AFTER THE HONEYMOON.

Gone the good old days when John and Mary
Nent bravey TO the altar and pnghted their troth in
the face of the that their sole capital con-
sisted of a few silver dollars. two strong bodies
willing hands and hearts that beat as one.-in
the little cottage by the side ef the with rude
table. two chairs, stove a bed and a few stone
china dishes.
That was all; all except the abounding JOY of
their yoIng hearts which made the cottage a palace
and John and Mary king and queen OF their sacred
domain. They expected TO share each others bur
dens. and they did They expected hardships.
they had them They expected JOY. and they found
it. They expected success. and it came-maybe. And
with success came looking back to the old days
of mutual toll and sacrifice as the happest days of
their lives
Now all this changed John must have car
and Mary must wear solitaire The cottage by the
rugs and china and Ierod furniture to match
fIther's.
Then, too, the strain of keeping up with the pro-
cession often robs life of its simple joys Mary's
demands irritate John. Johns inability to meet them
irritates Mary. Clashes become more and more fire.
quent until by and by their love-drcam becomes
painful tragedy. -
IN this complex age would be difficult to go back
to the old ways of simplicity and honest con
tent. But emulation Of the spirit of simplicity
that characterized the old days would work won
ders toward restoring life to normal plane.

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

NO USE.
Perhaps. as young John d. has just
suggested,
A hash was made of Mr.. samson's
life,
And he of hair and strength was
quite divested
Because he picked a locker for
wife.
pelilah. says young John, has too
much beauty
To cook and sweep and work
around the house:
she hated every sort Of wifely duty
And so she played the traitor to
her spouse.
II may be true that happiness con-
jugal
In life is far more easy to attain
when wives have no desire but to be
frugal.
And most Of such. unluckily, are
plain.
Il may be true that husbands loose
their buttons.
Grow old before their time and
bowed with care
when wives forget to sweep, negleci
their muttons
And spend their time in doing up
their hair.
II NAV be true that there is small
enjoyment.
And very little comfort or repose
when welded 10 a wife whose chief
employment
Consists in dabbing powder on her
nose.
Though beauty IN ball room Is al
Turing
And charming in a gardens leafy
shade,
I, often is a trifle past enduring.
To have to sit around and see 1t
made.
And vet at that, we tell young John
D. plainly
That ne may talk. and write and
scheme and plan,
And even lecture sunday pupils vain
ly.
He'll never dim the lure OF looks
for man.
For youth wili come and sit. and
look and listen
And doubtless they will fervently
agree
And then with beating hearts and
eyes that glisten
They'll pick the niftiest locker that
they see.
