BY HENRY EDWARD WARMER
Great Men.

When trusting eyes OF youth behold
The records Of the men OF old
Who won their spurs by mighty dccd.
Who saved their country in its need
When youthful minds explore the facts
Behind so many noble acts
That shine for each heroic age,
They sigh. and turn another page.
Not that l would decry the fame
Nor smirch II single glorious name
OF one who lives in history's niche,
The poor elbowing with the rich;
But 50 il is, that when youth spies
name, and then with searching eyes
Looks in behind the name. he laughs
And turns to other paragraphs.
Somehow. men lauded to the skies
Have passing lure. for youthful eyes
In this discriminating day.
When fame comes in another way.
I've seen Youth snicker ut the sage
And YEARLY turn another page
To find some new, absorbing truth
About the hits OF Baby Ruth!
And so. when youthful eyes behold
The mighty deeds of men OF old.
Pass by Demosthcncs with smile.
