For the comfort Of their bodies am

And with all that men complain OF.
and with all that goes aniss.
There's no happier, better nation on
the worlds broad face than this
So I'm thinking when / listen to tn
walls of discontent.
And some foreign disbeliever spreads
his evil sentiment,
That the breed of hate and envy that
is growing sin and shame
In this glorious land of Freedom
should so hack from whence it
came
And hold It is the duty, rich or poor,
of every man
Who enjoys this country's bounty to
be all American.

THE BEST LAND

II knew A better land on this glori-
Gus world OF ours,
Where a man gets bigger money and
Is working shorter hours;
II the Briton or the Frenchman had
nm easier life than mine,
Ia pack my goods this minute and I'd
sail across the brine.
But I notice when an alien wants q
land Of hope and cheer
And future for his children, he
comes out and settles here.
Here's the glorious land OF Freedom,
Here's the milk ana honey goal
For the peasant out Of Russia, for the
long subjected Pole.

From JOY to Death.

From Joy to Death.
For ten days the hordes OF Tbark
and their wild allies were Toasted and
entertained, and, then, loaded with
costly presents and escorted by ten
thousand soldiers of Helium command
ed by Mors Kajak, they started on
the return journey to their own lands.
The Jed Of Lesser Helium with small
party Of mobiles accompanied them all
the way to TharK to cement more
closely the new bonds Of peace and
friendship.
Sofa also accompanied Tars Tarkas,
her father, who before all HIS chief
tains had acknowledged her as his
daughter.
Three weeks later, Mors Kajak and
his officers accompanied by Tars Tar
kas and Sofa, returned upon Q battle
ship that had been dispatched to Thark
| to fetch them in time for the ceremony
which made Dejah Thoris and John
Carter one.

to arrange marriages between Chris
tian girls and Christian men. One of
our Christian girls, writes q CORE

maid, having reached the age. Of twen-

her, but she refused them all. One Of
our preachers approached q country

him to ask the twenty-eight-year-oid
lady. We ali thought 1t would come

yet succeeded in getting engaged. But
to our surprise. he would have nothing
to do with the plan. and gave as his
reason: "Who would marry girl with
a skirt like thatY' The girl had her
skirt embroidered in q different way
to the girls and the women In the VII
lage where the particular swain lived,
and he felt that he dared not make
such an innovation on the fashion Of
his own village. A beautiful pair Of
brown eyes. long. fine. black hair. and
good Christian character counted AZ
nothing against strange style Of skirt
embroidery!

upon my body; garments that cracked
and powdered away from me as rose

c,ain,eu IL a dispatch bearer Tor the
jeddak, It circled impatiently awaiting
the tardy patrol boat which must con-
voy It to the palace docks.
Ten minutes after it touched at the
palace q message called me to the
council chamber, which found filling
with the members of that body.
On the raised platform Of the throne
was Tardos Mors. pacing back and
forth with tense-drawn face. When
all were in their seats he turned to-
ward us.
"This morning." he said, word
reached the several governments OF
Barsoom that the keeper Of the atmos-
phere plant had made no wireless re-
port for two days, nor had almost
ceaseless calls upon him from score
of capitals elected sign Of response.
All day q thousand cruisers have been
searching for him until, just now, one
of them returns bearing his dead body,
which was found In the pits beneath
his house horribly mutilated by some
assassin.
II DO not need to tell you what this
means to Barsoom. It would take
months to penetrate those mighty
walls, in fact the work has already
commenced, and there would be little
to fear were the engine of the pumping
plant to run as 1t should and as they
all have for hundreds Of years but the
worst, we fear, has happened. The
instruments show a rapidly decreasing
air pressure on all parts Of Barsoom-
| the engine has stopped.
"My gentlemen" he concluded. I'VE
have at best three days to live"
There was absolute silence for sew
eral minutes. and then a young noble
arose, and with his drawn sword held
high above his head addressed Tardos
Mors.
.sThe men of Helium have prided
themselves that they have ever shown
BarsoOm how q nation Of red men
should live, now is our opportunity to
| show them how they should die. Let
| MS 90 about our duties as though a
thousand useful years still lay before
u.s."
The chamber rang with applause
and as there was nothing better to do
than to allay the fears Of the people
by our example we went our ways
with smiles upon our faces and sorrow
gnawing at our hearts.
When returned to my palace
l.found that the rumor already had
reached Dejah Thoris, so told hei
all that had heard.
1--WE have been very happy, John
Carter" she said, "and l thank what
ever fate overtakes us that 1t permits
us to die together"
The next two days brought 20 no
ticeable change in the supply OF air
but on the morning Of the third day
breathing became difficult at the high
er attitudes of the roof tops. The ave
nues and plaxas Of Helium were fillet
with people. All business had ceased
For the most part the people looked
bravely into the face Of their unalter
able doom. Here and there, however
men and women gave way to quie
grief.
Toward the middle Of the day man!
