The Quiet Village

In Pruneville. when the clocks
strike nine, the lights go out along
the line, the streets are dark and
bare; and moral citizens, at that,
wind up the clock, turn out the cat,
and to the hay repair. At times the
citizens will go to see a heipful
movie show that some great truth
expounds, or when lecturer arrives
to brighten up their quiet lives with
hoarse but earnest sounds. But
breaks like these are far between
the voters are but seldom seen away
from home at night; no lights are
shining in their homes, but harmless
dreams pervade their domes, where
they are sleeping tight. If you re-. e,
mark their lives are tame, they IL
tell YOU Of a checker game that
lasted seven years, with final hon
ors yet to win-and they can't see
why you should grin, nor understand
your sneers. Gay alecks from the
crowded marts stop there for gas to
run their carts. and gaze with high
disdain; to live in such burg,
they've said, when there are towns
that are not dead, is neither safe nor
sane. But Pruneville people, in their
way. seem cheerful. jubilant and gay,
despite the city's jeers; in their old
age they're hale and spry, they
laugh and sleep and seldom die at
less than fvescore years.
