A Matter Of Daring

He was a high school boy, reading
an essay, the subject Of which was
Of his own choosing. He wrote on
"The Universe" "When man steps
on this terrestrial sphere" he began.
'three questions confront him: Who
am II What am /! And, what is
my relation 10 the cosmos?" His
hearers laughed, doubtless you and
/ would have laughed; the subject
was beyond him. But give the boy
due credit; admire his daring. Will
he not get much more satisfaction
from life, after all, than we who are
more fearful TO attack the fvnda-
mental problems Of the worldP
Where did the world come, from? By
what power is it controlled? What
really is our relation to it ah7 What
is our end TO be? Such problems as
these shall we leave to the scientist
and TO "the man Of Cod! Or shall
we, too, venture, once in a while, to
think?

When Susie returned, Drowned and
feeling greatly benefited for her holi-
days, her first glance upon rounding
the corner OF her street was for her
gardens fate She knew from reports
that scarcely a drop OF rain had fhll-
en- In the nelghborhood. When she
saw her precious beans, peas ana
flowers green and blooming she was
curiously puzzled. but delighted In no
small degree.
II so happened that McGlll again
stood at the window when Susie came
tomeward and his Scotch heart re-
joiced. He knew that by fair means
or foul he was going to become more
than merely acquainted with that
small neighbor Of his.
II was toward evening when he
heard a soft knock at his door. He
opened II and there stood Susie. her
self with dainty and very tiny basket
OF fresh pulled peas and beans and
few colorful flowers on the top.
She bushed beautifully when she
saw that her upstairs nelghbor was
a man and she felt a quick pity when
she saw that he had lost one leg.
"Oh," she said swiftly, II brought
you up these vegetables from my tiny
garden, but being a man I suppose
you can't cook them. I somehow fan
cied a woman lived up here" she
added.
How did you know cared for
your gardenf' McGlll asked, by way
of OBTAINING her a moment longer.
II saw the long rubber tube and
watering csn out Of your window"
she promptly replied; then, throwing
convention to the proper place for
silly convention. she said, II will cook
the vegetables for you and you may
come down and have dinner with me
tonight-if you like. see you are a
wounded soldier and all women should
do all they can for the men who have
fought for them"
McGill laughed quickly and most
happily All was going well with his
heart, beats and he knew that all
would continue WELL,
81 am glad to have fought for wo-
men-such as you" was what he said,
both then and later when he had won
her for his own.

> SPRING

Marooned upon a little isle of time,
Swept round by waters lethal, he and
I.
There's violets and pansies rich in
bloom,
While orgies pink of peach trees
round us swim,
The empty dazed world tumult shut
ting OUT.
One strong and ruddy, stout and
leisurely,
With his august ego this islet fills.
The warm song splendor of the mat
ing birds
Shoots thru with shafts Of simmer
ing light the air,
Triumphant chorus Of the mother
spring
Which in her bosom folds the beaute-
Gus year.
The while we hear, in quiet listening,
Heart music-symphony of souls
against
The diapason of the warm spring
rain.
Adorned with tender green the dis
tant hills
Rise from the dim woods fringed
with plum trees white
Spring teaching all the fertile land
to smile.
