Something TO
Think Ab0uf
RICHES THAT COUNT
By F. II. WALKER

| Tn THE humble cot, in the naughty
- palace, on the narrow byways anC
tile broad highways, and among all tht
peoples of the world, the seeking OF
riches that endure--that resist the
moth and tile mold of time-ought tC
be mans first duty.
How many Of us in our blind wor
ship of wealth pause to consider duty
at all?
We are intoxicated by the enchant-
ment of the universal chase, forget
everything else but the elusive yellow
metal, taunting us with its musical
ring and mastery power.
A strange dizziness, stab of an
unseen knife at the heart, and sick
ening WEAKNESS pail us for a brief
period, but in a little while we resume
the chase again with more fervOr than
ever, and keep it up until we drowsily
awake to the fact that the years are
marking our faces with lines and
steadily filing away our lives.
We become sober minded We gaze
ruefully upon the wonderful master
piece we were painting We discover
that we have not yet found the right
tone or right color.
Our hand is not so dexterous as 1t
was; our eye is not so keen; time
has dulled our senses and robbed us
of our judgment of values.
We are dismayed as we look back
upon the past and terrified as we en-
deavor to peer into the future.
Then dawns upon US the realization
that it is not money piled in banks,
which we may draw at pleasure, that
constitutes wealth; not titles to land
ed possessions, houses, furnishings,
automobiles nor rich raiments and
Jewels that give affiuence to humans,
but that which they carry with them
in their souls.
We are all humans and very much
alike, tottering on unsteady feet down
toward the dark valley while there is
yet light enough to see around us.
And what do we see?
We see that grandeur and nobility
of character, the sweetness and help
smiles, the hand-cIasps we give TO the
destitute and the afflicted, are the
riches that endure, and illuminate our
way in the night of the mystic voyage
into an unknown world

\ SOME rare cases the line of travel

when the place of joining the two lines

CONFIDENCE
By GRACE E. HALL

UOU cannot bring it back, that mys
tic thing
You tore to bits, as children rend a
flower
Through lack of thought All, no! the
bitterest sting
Is that you had it once within your
power
And crushed it But that day is past
and gone.
The bud despoiIed by ruthless hand
is left
With all it's beauty wasted, pale and
wan,
And even of its fragrance quite be-
reft.
and so this spirit-thing shall not IN
fold
In promised sweetness, nor its per
fume live;
Despoiled and bruised, 1t now lies
dead and cold
For lack of nurturing you failed to
give.
You cannot bring 1t back Each petal
rare
Was fashioned and deep tinted in
my heart
Through years of conscious homage,
rendered fair
And paid without question, as
your part;
But one by one you plucked and threw
aside
The tender blossoms that I freely
gave;
Faith sadly grleyes where that exotic
died,
And Memory keeps lone vigil Ger
its grave.
