THE COPS HORSESHOE
A STORY OF BOY WHO STARTED WRONG 1


You're, the man I've been
wanting" The mayor caught
Uncle Patrick's arm and escorted
: him into his office.
Then he rubbed his eyes,
started toward something on the
wall and touched it. while the
mayor grinned boyishly. Yes
this was the Dugan he wantet.
''It was sent to me to hang on
the wall in the city court ROOM"
he said. '"The fellow thought the
policemen might be a little more
human II they knew It and its
story"
Lovingly Patrick was stroking
the battered old horseshoe on
which were the initials =. w. He
knew It well. He started t3
speak.
But the mayor spoke before
him. "The young fellow is out
West now. But he's been elected
to Congress. Will stop over on
his way to Washington. Wanted
me to hunt you up so he could
see you. His name?-here I'll
hunt his letter."
Suddenly his face beamed.
"I'H tell you, mayor" he said,
'and Jimmie can tell you when
he comes through that in those
days we members OF the force
did a lot Of persuading and
mighty little arresting. But it
worked welf.

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis-


ONE may be a splendid
place stored with costly
~ treasures, wealth and art
to add their grace to it's many
pleasures. From earth's corners,
far away, lovely works find
places; tapestries from old Cathay,
old Egyptian vases. Stately trees
their shadows lend, song-birds
swiftly follow, for they bring each
feathered friend, bluebird, thrush
and swallow. Men may work
through life for this, in their tasks
excelling; but without one smile,
one kiss, they've an empty dwell
ing. Gems from Antioch or Rome
form a shrine-that only: loves
the thing that makes it home;
lacking love. all's lonely. Home
may be a tiny cot, poor and cheap
and humble. in some crowded city
spot, filled with roar and rumble.
Nothing there OF loveliness,
nduSu OI ART or IlOWerSc only
endless work and stress for the
weary hours. Yet, how gladly
toilers turn when the twilight's
falling. to the little lights that
burn, to the home that's calling:
Poor, perhaps, and cheap and
mean. yet II hearts are tender,
love can change that squalid
scene into one Of splendor. So,
however far we roam, by what
stately palace. there's the spot
most truly home, where love
brims her chalice. Love is not
ensnared by art. golden nets can't
hold it; but the tender, faithful
heart only can eufold it. In some
costly places dwell those who
laugh and flout It; but love weaves
q potent spell, there's no home
without it! Pity then the potent
tate who cannot possess it, bare's
the shell must house the great,
lacking love to bless it!
