THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
TiIlers of the Soil.
BY AIine Michaelis.

ME soldier goes upon his way
with fiery steeds that prance.
to martial music brave and
gay, with pomp and circumstance.
The people greet him with acclaim,
by countryside and twon; his ma
ton gives him deathless fame and
spreads his fair renown. His
name is heard on every tongue
and men on every hand believe his
praises should be sung for all he
gives his land. It's true, the
soldier earns it all-the love, the
trust, the praise. for first he puts
his country's call through all his
youthful days. But there's an
other one who stands high up in
honor's ranks; his lot Is poor and
rough his hands and few accord
him thanks. From early dawn
till set of sun his back Is bent with
toll, his many tasks are never
done, the man who tills the soil.
$A'SNoA IOTSGI
and never think to pay the weighty
measure of their debt, he gladly
goes his way. For he has joys no
others know, he's kin to sun and
rain; he helps the tiny seedlings
grow, he reaps the golden grain.
While changing seasons dawn and
die, to him full charms they bring,
the glow of gold October's sky, tho
laughing winds of Spring. And as
he tends his flocks and herds and
bends above his pillow, he learns
the message of the birds that fit
from bough to bough. The chatter
Of the finch and jay, the rapture Of
the lark, these lend their bright
ness TO his day, their cheer from
dawn till dark. To martial tunes
and cheering throng the soldier
goes to toll; but nature sings her
sweetest song to him who tills the
soil.

ways to. kick, crawl, squirm the
ball forward even if it was only
a half an inch.
He learned a great deal more
than that. ALI that autumn he
played football. thought football,
dreamed football, lived football.
The savage, Spartan football code
was his code; to do anything, every
thing, for a terminate, for the
team; to fight as hard in midfield
with the score hopelessly against
him as half a yard from the
enemy's goal-line; to endure the
agony of being tackled on muscle
bruised thighs, to get up and drive
back as hard as ever into the line
to the same certain torment; to go
to any length to put an opponent
out Of the game-any length ex-
cept being caught and having his
team penalized by the officials;
and no matter to what outbreaks
of emotion his exhausted body and
over-strained nerves might give
way in the dressing-room, to walk
out of it with his jaw set, his face
impressive and never let an enemy
rooter see a tear in his eye. It
was by no means the education in
the humanfties and liberal arts
with which the University was
supposed to be providing him, but
an education of a kind, it certainly
was. Above all. at a period when

well of him and he thought even
better Of himself.
BY the time spring came Neale
felt happily sure that he was
seeing life without making a fool
of himself, which, according to
his latest philosophy borrowed
from Horace) the right thing to
do. He would be nineteen in a
few months now, time to attain
a calm, mature, unsurpassed &C
ceptance of the world. No half
baked enthusiasms about any
thing. Except football, Of course.
That was far above all philoso-
plies Of life. In the spring OF
his sophomore year Neale was
consuming piperuls of tobacco
and meditating on what he called
his past life," censuring or APP
proving his actions by the newly
acquired yard-stick of the "gol-
den mean" What a youthful
idiot he had been about Don
Roberts! That was so long ago
that he could smile cynically at
both his enthusiasm and his dis
illusion, each equally far from
balance. Balance. Poise. That
was the right dope for a man OF
the world.
And yet, spring was in the air
and it was hard, even for the
ripe maturity Of nineteen to be
perfectly balanced. Neale had
no girl at hand, and was betrayed
into working off the excitement
of spring days by writing an
English theme on the tulips in
Union Square. So much early
May, both of style and person
atty seeped into this, that the
faded, discouraged young orofes-
sor of English felt his heart leap
up with incredulous hope and
pleasure. To encourage the
writer he read parts Of 1t aloui
to the class, with Neales very
soul scorched with shame. Ono
of his non.athletic classmates a
brilliant, precocious, foreign-born
fellow, with literary aspirations,
came up to him afterwards and
CONGRATULATED him enviously on
his success. 1t was terrible
experience all around. Neale
vowed furiously to himself that

and was enchanted at the supe-

The next day he thought of
Billy Peters and knew that he
was saved. Billy was the most
amusing of his frat brothers, the
one now nearest to him, for he
remembered that Billy spent the
summers in the Berkshires. He
wrote to Billy asking him to
come up for couple of weeks
and go camping with him, some
where up the Deerfield. Neale
would meet him at whatever sta
ton Billy could. make and they
would start at once. He didn't
invite Billy to grandfather's, not
because he was ashamed of grand
father's-not at all-he just didn't
think it would interest Billy there.
In due time Billy $ answer came,
asking Neale to cut out tht Wild
erness project and come down to
make him a visit in. the Berk-
shires. Neale considered, he liked
Billy; and West Adams was dead
~ dull. Why not? There was no
good reason why not: he packed
his suit case and went.
