"Catch 1t on the wing" cried that lady

But that stray remark set Mercy

THE DAYS RIGHT
AFTER
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

MAYHEM they had come away from
w her and left her in her house
alone,
When there was nothing more to do
but cut his name upon the
stone,
thought how cruel kindness is, how
selfish all our sympathy,
When they had come away from her
and left her all alone to be.
When he was there, and in the house,
however pale, however dumb,
When still his earthly form she had,
then it was good of us to come.
But, oh, the days right after! then |
think they need US even more
Than when the shades shut out the
sun and when the crepe is en-
the door.
Let's never get our kindness done,
let's never let our comfort end,
AS long as sorrow needs our love, as
long as trouble needs friend.
Let us remember in the time of loss
and loneliness and care,
The days right after always are the
hardest days of all to bear.

Cold Water Likely to
Crack Hot Cylinders

In the main there is no dam
ger in pouring cold water into
the cooling system of the engine,
no matter how AA the latter
may be. But if so much of the
water has been lost that the tops
of the cylinders are uncovered.
the engine should be allowed to-
cool off before the water system
is filed. The reason Is obvious;
if cold water is poured directly
on the hot cylinders where they
are exposed, there is danger of
cracking them, owing to ne con-
traction due to the rapid coonng.
