POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE.
You got 20 keep on smilin'
However hard the way.
Although you're shy the cash 70 buy
Your three square meals a day.
You may have ketched the measles
or else. perhaps the humps:
But just the same you must be game
An never git the dumps
A glum an gloomy spirit
The brightest life kin Spite:
No matter what complaint you've got
You've always got 20 smile.
You got 20 keep on smilin'
An never heave a sob
or pull a moan or spill a groan
When you have lost your job.
II wife and kids have left you
Don't never shed a tear:
Be gay an glad as ef you had
A heart plumb full o cheer.
Remember. Twin single
Amt such an awful trial
The clouds your ind is silver lined
II only you can smile.
You got 10 keep on sn,ilin'-
There's no sech word as fail
Though by mistake the laws you
break
And get shet up in jail.
An even ef they hang you.
The rope won't hurt you Ions.

The principle of civil service means that those

by the insstent demand Of the business interests,

The men who own these machines for pleasure

THE FAIRY AND THE ROBIN.
written Especially for a Little FriendD
a fairy and a robin met
Beside a bed Of mignonette.
The robin bowed and raised his hat
And smiled a smile as wide as-that
Then said: Miss Fairy. I declare.
I'd kiss you, only I don't dare"
The fairy curtsied low and said:
Your breast is such a lovely red.
And you are such a handsome thing.
And, OH such pretty songs you
sing
I'd gladly kiss you now. but
May only kiss a butterfly"
The robin spoke a silly word

LOCUST VALLEY, n. Y. May 8
Men ana women of international
prominence in the world of finance
and society bowed with plain VII
layers in common grief today at the
bier of Henry P. Dawson, financier'
philanthropist and head of the Ameri-
can Red Cross during the world war
who died Saturday.
The little UNCOVERED chapel of st.
Johns of Lattingtown nesting among
the towering hills Of this picturesque
Long Island village, was crowded ana
many hundreds unable to gain al.
mittance stood silently outside: A
special train conveyed mourners from
New York. Buses carried them @
som and over roads rolling past acre
after acre of vclvety green lawns OF
the estates of millionaires.
Services Are Simple.
The last wishes of Mr.. Dawson were
fulfilled. Members of his family, al
though dressed in black. did not wear
deep mourning. The service Itself was
as unostentatiouS as possible: Inc
eulogy was omitted from the Episco-
palean ritual. which followed private
services at the home, and the scene
at the graveSide wa SreServed for only
those nearest and dearest.
The service was conducted by the
Rev. Charles w. Hinton, assisted by
the Rev. Endicott Peabody, head mas
ter of Croton School. A mixed quartet
from St. Bartholomew's in New York
sang Mr. DaviSon'S favorite hymns

In the little church banked with flow

Red Cross symbol. occupied the place
of honor Over the casket from the
rafters, hung the flag of the United
State and the Red Cross. Outside the
chapel stood a group of nurses who
during the war had hailed Mr.. Dawson
as their chief.
Ten trucks carried the floral trlb-
utes to the church. They came from
individuals in all ranks of life. They
came too from civic and financial or
ganizations with which the banker
had been connected.
The flowers so filled the chapel that.

it could seat but $50. Outside, on

ity in the world Of affairs mingled
with simple villagers.
J. P Morgan and Charles Steel,
partners of Mr.. Dawson, led the pro-
cession into the chapel. Mrs. Davi-
son herself did not attend the public
service, but remained in the rectory
nearby.
Assembled for the service were all
the Morgan partners, but Junius S.

are in London. There. too, were Otto
