Lord of Creation.
A friend sent an editor, as Christ
mas present, bronze paper weight
in the form of mouse, bearing this
unique inscriptions:
The Lord of Creation you see in this
brass.
No? Man, you maintain, is the head.
Yet, who rules Ger man? 1t is woman,

And a mouse fills woman with
dread.
So it thus becomes clear, as the mud in
the street,
And it's granted in each advanced

Must be easily the head Of Creation.

the New Year:
Let us be better men!
Let us find things to do
Saner and sweeter than any yet,
Higher and nobler and true!
Let us be better men!
Let us begin again,
~ y lnnur
To climb and develop and grow.
Let us be better men!
Whether with pick or pen,
The labor we do is a work worth while
If our hearts are clean and our spirits
smile,
And out of the ruck and rust and stain
We make some growth and we mark
some gain. -
Let us be better men!
IN a world that needs so much
The loftier spirits touch,
Let us grow upward toward the nght
Welded to wanting to do the right
Rather than welded to human might.
