The Crucial Time.

The country's reached an evil
pass, and there is worse to fol-
low; this readjustment stuff,
alas, is pretty hard to swallow.
So speak the jays, in doleful
bands, who grunt and grumble
daily; throughout their lives
they wiring their hands, and
murmur, "Willow-waly!" But
wise men say that bitter times
are just what we are needing; !;
we're learning now to prize the
dimes we used to blow unheed-
ing. We used to spend our coin
in haste, for all the junk they'd
dish us; we're learning now that
wanton waste is foolish, vain
and vicious. We had to learn
that much of truth, and heal the
spendthrift canker, and take Our
earnings to the booth where
dwells the village banker; we
had to learn this sort of dope,
and quit our money burning, be-
fore there could be any hope of
stable times returning. We're
getting down again to tacks, we
cease our spendthrift rawlings,
and you may see US making
tracks to salt away our savings.
When we are seedy, sick and
sore, it takes strong dope to
cure us; and now Good Health
is at the door, the wise old lads
assure us. The medicine we
have to take may seem a trifle
bitter, but what's the diff if it
will make each gent a healthy
critter? WALT MASON.
