oilers ISLAND

TF you are resolved to continue
\ your search for Idlers' Island, con-
trary to the advice Of the expert
enced, and those disconnected souls
out at the elbow who have spent the
best years of their lives in its quest,
you may set 1t down as an unassail-
able fact that you are doomed to sor-
rowful disappointment.
The youth who dreams of this mys-
tic place, forgetfuI of his duties to
his parents and his employers, while
he is fitting up his phantom ship to
sail away in pursuit of perpetual
pleasure, is heading straight to land
of sorrow and desolation, which he
will find in the meridian of life, when
his sky is turning gray and the icy
winds of winter nip his shivering body
and freeze up his last remaining
energy.
There Is only one event at this
time of his existence which really as
tonishes and startles him out of his
self-imposed impoverishment, and that
is, he cannot build himself up again
to hopeful manhood.
He is pushed and jostled on the
streets and takes 1t as matter of no
consequence; he is stunned by old
friends who pass him with sheer,
but there is not enough fire in his
blood to kindle resentment; he is mis-
cradle and lonely, but so dull in/sen-
sibility that he is unconcerned.
He may sometimes try to brace him.

When / didn't want to roam,
Wanted just to stay at home.
Babies nearly always yell
Loud and long;
And l think I'd shout as well,
Good and strong,
If my mother took me out,
Tugged and tumbled me about,
Shook me up and shook me down,
Hustled me from town to town,
When / wanted most 20 stay
Right at home on such a day.
Babies always cry before
The journeys through,
Babies always raise roar
So would you.

Some other place you aren't at.
