THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis-

IVY HEN I was but q tiny
w child my schooling first
began; folks said: you'll
need to know lot before you are
a man. And If you'll heed your
teacher well, you'll find in later
days it's fine to know where
Zulus dwell, what crops the Figis
raise" Forthwith I settled down
to work and tried with all my
might to understand the ticklish
Turk, to bound the Isle of Wight.
And when 1 left the grammar
school and entered high school
next, my taste for learning did
not cool, however dry the text.
My jealous interest ever grew, j
studied with a thrill historic ruins
in Peru, and forests of Brazil. SO
many medals then 1 wore, 50
many a high degree, my teachers
said: wen work no more, he
knows as much as we." Those
days in highest college spheres
was the pride and boast; but
since I've found the fitting years
have taught me far the most. For,
looking backward to the day
when, sheepskin in my hand,
started out the good old way to
conquer all the land, I see in
spite of all the facts and medals
could CLEAN, to judge me by my
daily acts I was exceeding green.
When 1 went blithely, boldly out
to set the world aflame, the
things I didn't know about could
queer most any game.

LOSING YOUR TEMPER
THE WAN WHO FLIEs INTO A RAGE

temper isn't a potential lawbreak-
er. He needn't sit around dread.
ing what he may do some day.
He has to deal with what he is
doing right now-and that is dis
regarding law.
Every man has the right to
command himself. Every man
has the ability to enforce obedi-
ence in. his own nature. A tenn
per is rebel in the camp of self.
And is that rebel to be permitted
a right of misrule?
When a man says he has a bad
tGmper-he means that he is per.
Knitting a lawlessness to possess
him.
Anyone who wants to be happy
must have his nature in harmony
with the laws of life. Temper is
discord. You wouldn't be in de-
liberate discord with an orchestra
i" which you played an instru-
ment, would you? You wouldn't
say you couldn't play in tune
that you couldn't govern your
trombone or your flute, would
you? You wouldn't confess that
you were playing an instrument
you couldn't control. You would
feel that you had right to au-
thority over the violin or the cello
you were making it your life
work to play.

~ I'D Bunny ever see a circus?
He certainly did. In fact,
he was the sensation of the
circus the day I took him.
No, I didn't have to buy a ticket
for Bunny. He just went as usual
in my pocket.
When we got seated took him
out on my lap. How he did en-
joy it.
The elephant had performed.
And the trained seals had done
their stunt. Dozens Of acrobats
had performed all kinds Of thrill
ing stunts. And the clowns had
kept everybody in roars Of laugh

Finally came the act with
Maud" the kicking mule.
Her trainer rode her out into
the ring and several times around
the ring.
Then the ringmaster came to
the middle of the tent, raised his
whip and signaIed the band to stop
playing.
The whole place was quiet for
moment. Then he announced in a
clear, ringing voice:
Ladies and gentlement-Here
you see Maud, the famous kicking
mule. You have seen how diff
cult 1t is to ride her. Will any Of
the audience volunteer to ride this
fractions animal? A prize of $50
will be awarded to the person who
succeeds in mounting Maud and re-
naming on her back one minute.
Any one ready to try, ladies and
gentlemen"
Several men walked down boldly
into the ring and tried. Off they

Penalty for violating the ordinance
is fine of not less than SIS or more

city ordinances or state laws through
out the country would reduce to a
minimum the grade crossing death

LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT

Broad and enlightened editorial
comment on various phases of the
race question has appeared in the
three Minneapolis oailies within the
last two weeks. The fairness with
which the Tribune, Star and Journal
have analysed their particular phase
of the subject bespeaks brand OF
journalism on q par with that of the
great Eastern dailies whose editors
have brought their communities to an
intelligent understanding of race re-
lations, by setting down the facts on
the life and treatment of people of
color with recommendations designed
to promote peace and mutual respect.
We congratulate the two older
daiGes on their editorial stand and
look to see more of it. The Star is an
old friend of the colored citizen. AL
though it is less than four years old,
from it's inception, it has been gen
erous in it's editorial column and
greater than that, it has been more
than fair in it's news columns, keep
ing them remarkably free from incit-
ing headlines and crime news in
which color is prominently featured.
We wish it long life and success in
the attainment Of its aims. ..
