THE BoRDERLAND

There is mystic borderland that
lies
Just past the limits of our wcrk-day
world,
And it is peopled with the friends
we met
And loved year, month. week,
or day.
And parted from with aching hearts,
yet knew
That through the distance we must
loose the hold
Of hand with hand. and only clasp
the thread
Of Memory. But still so close we
feel this land,
So sure we are that these same
hearts are true,
That when in waking dreams there
comes a call
That sets the thread of memory
aglow,
We know that just by stretching out
the hand
In written word or love or book or
y flower,
The waiting hand will clasp our own
once more
Across the silence, in the same. old
way"

SOMEBODY POISONED MY Doe

Somebody poisoned my deg today,
Though he never did am one i'll;
And so he is through with ihs canine
play
And his waggelty tail is still.
No more shall l walk in the fields
with him
Along at my side to jog,
And-I don't care if my eyes are dim.
Somebody poisoned my dog!
He was homely, I know, as dog
could be,
And only mongrel, too;
But I loved him and he loved me
AS people and dogs may do
Nothing on earth could disturb his
trust
Or his love and his faith befog.
And now he lies here in the snow
Somebody poisoned my dog!
He craw!ed to my feet and he licked
my hand,
And then with gasp he died;
And-though some people can't un-
derstand-
patted his head and cried!
For it isn't funny to lcse friend
From off this earthly cog"
And he was loyal unto the end
Somebody poisoned my dog!
l wonder how any one could have
done
This poor little fellow harm;
But here he lies-his race is run
Though his body's stir soft and
warm.
My life is lived on peaceful plan,
My pace is quiet job.
Butt wish could find the snake of
a man
Who poisoned my little dog.
