Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget
Hank, Do l hear the clash of steel
And the hurried trample of feet?
Is it thus the enemy's iron heel
Approaches with measured beat?
Is that the ominouS clatter of arms
And the dripping of stealthy oar.
The dreaded terror that brings nus
AS their boat-prows scrape the
What is that cry in the silent night,
With hoof-beats drawing near
With never q pause in his hasty flight.
1t is! 1t is Paul Revere!
Hes gone--as quickly as he came!
What means the gathering thronE?
He's ridden his way to historic fame
And prevented a mighty wrong.
That is the rattle OF muSketry
And the cheers of valiant clan,
AS they battle the foe for liberty,
United, to a man.
If only we had the spirit brave
Our forefathers had before;
The Nations welfare to cherish ant
save
What Patriot could ask more?
While remembering our heroes,
Who in danger laughed at fear,
And fought and outwitted Formidable
foes,
Let's remember Paul Revere.

best citizens, and will look back on

THE PROBLEM OF MOVING
MARY.
By NJ. JESSIE LEITCH

There was once a woman who was
very much overweight. She did all the
approved things such as setting-up ex-
ercises flor almost week. and drink
ing tea without cream, and eating baked
apples without sugar. She even walked
little now and then, pantingly and
painfully, but she walked. And once
she lived on baked potatoes and butter
milk for an entire week, but she ate
a pound of fudge and straight through
every course of an anniversary dinner
the day the week ended. So she re-
mained overweight. ...
Then she fell downstairs and broke
her ankle.
For a time there was great COM
motion in the house, for this is 4
| little story Of a small town, and when
any one falls downstairs in a small
| town it is enough TO cause stir. There
is an item in the local paper and
| then n pilgrimage of visitors who carry
gifts of pieces and doughnuts and whip
ping cream in glass sealers.
So Mary Blake, surrounded by
kindly friends, was "laid up with a
broken ankle" and because she was
\ 100 nedNN w IlONt NoHiAs
placed on the parlor sofa and there
she held court.
Mary was a nervous woman, as are
| most neople who are overweight, and
she was most unhappy. Her ankle
was painful. but that was not halt
of It. She was hungry all the time;
She ate nervously from morning IN
night and in between times she nibbled
at sweets and fruit
Day BY day she grew heavier ana
more uncomfortable and it did seem
as il the poor injured ankle was 60
| ing to have more TO support than ever
by THE time Mary began to walk
again.
The doctor looked worried when
Mary complained one morning OF
main in her side when she breathed:
She developed pleurisy and had a pad
| time of il.
The worst thing was getting her
upstairs from the parlor sofa into
proper bed. When this had been &C.
complished the mattress sagged so IN
the center that il became necessary
10 lift Mary into another bed in order
to fortify the springs and anchor the
mattress on her own bed more secure
/ ly. Mary was very sick and incapable
Of moving herself.
Her mother and sister looked at her
and ut each other.
"How are we going TO get her out
of that bed into the other onet' her
mother said, indicating the bed in the
spare room.
Alice was thoughtful for minute:
Then she brought the spare room bed
into Mary's room and placed 1t along.
side the occupied bed. She brought
strong sheet and folded it in two
lengths. Then she rolled it from one
end toward the middle and placed the
roll against Marys side. The unrollei
end of the sheet she spread across the
empty bed. :,
By dint Of perseverance Mary
mother and sister succeeded in getting
the rolled part of the sheet beneath
her. directly under her body. Pulling
together on the unrolled end OF the
sheet which lay across the empty bed
they were rewarded by feeling Mary's
weight slip easily into the fresh bed on
the folded sheet. :.
at was easier than l thought y
would be-" said Mary's mother with
sigk of relief.
