GRATITUDE
Sarah West Leeds, End

Dear God, II s JuSC Huihpie pray
er
Of gratitude / send to thee,
A little thought of thankfulness
For things that mean so much to
me.
Sometimes we think the world is
dark;
Sometimes our load seems heavy,
too;
But then | know it's all because
We fail to let small things shine
through.
Then cast aside this misty veil
And make things clear before our
eyes
And when encouragement creeps
in
Reveal the glories of thy skies.
Sometimes know it's hard to
think
When things seem bad or even
worse
But then, Dear God, reveal to us
The wonders of thy universe.
Why do we let the trivial things
Creep in and crowd the big ones
out
When all around on every side
Some happiness is spread about ?
It may be just a strip of road,
Or maybe it's a meadow stream,
Perhaps flower or just song
All these cause happiness to
gleam--
Perhaps it is a country home
Or lust a bit of fence that's rude
But when thy sunlight streams on
all
My heart is filled with gratitude.
We beg to announce that as we &c
to press there has been no increase
in poll tax. 1t is still 81.
And that's why the bird who pays
no property tax yells himself hoarse
in favor of municipal Indebtedness
which the other fellow has to pay

A lot of fun has been poked at
the South since the Civil War be-
cause of the worthlessness of Con-
federate notes.
1t may be some satisfaction to
the South to know that Confederate
currency never swooped to such
depths as have been sounded by the
German mark.
You can now buy ONE TRILLION
marks Cf you can count that much)
for the insignificant sum of 23c.
EAST is east and west is west,
And ne'er the twain shall meet.
-Rudyard Kiplin.
The W. k. Mr.. Kipling might have
received a shock if he had heard the
two State Normal students arguing
on the up train from Trenton th'
other evening.
One of them was contending tina
the sun rose in the west and set il
the east. She offered to prove it b!
pointing to the fact that the SUI
was setting over Pennsylvania way
We wouldn't be surprised if sh
also believes like the religious fanat
les out in Zion City, Ill.,, that tn
earth is fiat like pancake.

Imagine girl like that teaching
SCHOOL,

The hen we hate
Is Cosby Sue;
She always talks
Us black and blue.
