REMEMBRANCE

AS I sit in the darkness, dreaming,
And gaze out into the night,
My weary thoughts for comfort
In retrospect take flight.
Far back DER the years they travel
To days that are vanished, l know,
Yet l live again in mem'ry
The hours of long ago.
First l picture a child and his mother
In the light of the setting sun,
AS she patiently taught him to whisper,
Dear Father, Thy will be done.''
Many views remain of a ool-boy,
Of classmates, and lessons each day;
Some hours devoted to learning,
And others spent gaily in play.
The scenes pass about, and in passing
Bring pictures that memory lends
Of people and times and places,
OF dear ones and many friends.
There is pictured scene of sorrow
AS loved one was laid in the grave,
The tears that were shed in anguish
For mother, tender and brave.
One vision dehes all forgetting
And lives in the heart ev'ry day,
The face of wife whose devotion
Helped always to Tighten the way.
Ev'ry year of the past had its measure
OF sorrow and grief and of care.
Ard it seemed each event in passing
But added some new despair.
Now all the dear faces have vanished,
Left behind them an aching heart;
For this is the blight of Affection
That loved ones must some day part.
Yet remains one fond consolation,
A message of hope evermore,-
Dear hearts will again be united
When they meet on the other shore.
So | sit in the darkness dreaming
And wish that life's battle was won
Ict again as of old | murmur,
Dear Father, Thy will be done"

THE JOY KILLER

He is man of whom you've heard folks
tell;
Or perhaps you've had the pleasure with
one to dwell,
Who year in and year out, every day,
Finds something wrong or sad to say.
No matter how beautiful, good or kind,
Some fault somewhere he is sure to find.
He scratches his head and wiggles his ears,
Does his best to open the hoodgate of
tears.
AT the wedding he looks at the dainty
young bride
Who, all arrayed, beautiful and full of
pride
Is more fair by far than the lovliest flower
That was ever graced by a warm spring
shower.
Others gaze on her with keen delight,
And wish her future prosperous and
bright,
And shower her with blessings, and do de-
They never have seen a bride so fair!
The Joy Killer looks at her, young and
gay,
And says "Huh! her beauty will soon
pass away
Soon her sweetness will all be spent,
Her form shrunk and with age bent
Her golden tresses that you see now
Will soon be gray, and furrowed her
brow"
Thus he wiggles his ears as does the ass,
And hurls his bombs of poison gas.
How often do we harken to his tale of woe
And agree with him and say eyes, tits
sol"
Mighty and powerful are his evil words,
Easy spoken and easier spurred.
While the writer was attending the show
today
1.-TWO of them" discussed the young
folks in the play,
And what they said was by far from
bright,
But they thought it smart and quite all
Oh for the privilege to have punched their
And to have showed their teeth down in
their toes.
The man at my side he solemnly swore,
With them he would like to mop the
floor,
And in lumberjack style give them the
hoof,
Then send 'em crashing through the
roof!
Pm sure we would have enjoyed the pic
ture play,
But those two Joy Killers spoiled the day.

AT last we have seen "The Kid" "a
picture with smile and maybe tear"
Our risibilities were aroused, but our
lachrymal glands refused to function. 1t
was a good picture, and worthy of the
name, Art. Iii a rare treat to see Charlie
Chaplin and Jackie Coogan in the same
picture. "The Kid" made Jackie Coogan
and established Chaplin as something more
than mere slap-stick comedian and buff
foon and since seeing the picture we under
stand why. The basic theme of the girl,
the man, the moon and the county hospital
was not resorted to except as a means of
furnishing a motive for the adoption of
the waif of the streets by the tramp.
"Playthings of Destiny arose above cur
expectations. Anita Stewart carried the
emotional role of the girl buffeted by Fate,
capably. Walter McGrail was likeable
william and Herbert Rawlinson is an actor
we'll pay good money to see. We arise to
opine that he is a connoisseur of feminine
beauty as WELL
The comedy was hackneyed, but we have
dispaired of seeing anything original along
these lines. It's either display of legs,
a custard pie battery, balky fivver, or
marathon INDUCED in by all present.
Good snappy sub-titles would improve the
picture immeasuraby.
A tribute to a poet in this column may
seen unusual, in view of recent remarks
anent poetry in general and free verse in
particular. Nevertheless we appreciated
"Mother" by Mr.. L. F. H. 1t was well
written, with perfect technique and the
musical metre that distinguishes poetry
from tumble of words.
We note that the orchestra played "Love-
" Lucerne" while we were out of the
city (?). What we want to know is
whether the passionate strains were in
spired through the reading of "Three
Weeks?"
To embryo authors and budding jour
nalists. If you wish to make a study of
style by all means read the series "The
Magnetic West" by Joseph Hengesheimer,
now appearing in the Saturday Evening
Post.
Did you know that the black and white
reproduction of a half-tone of Lincoln on
the front page of the last issue of THE
MIRROR was from the pen of local artist?
Also the slide at the holiday show? We
envy you your skill and artistry, Mr.. J.
Fl. ].
We believe that there will be few
added features at the movies in the near
future. There is certain dusky gentle
man that throws a mean grace note that
we'd like to hear again. While on the sub
ject if any reader is real top tenor singer,

testimony concerning the schools of
