More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
NO HOPE

I have never committed crime
Of the base and feloniouS kind,
But the fear that may in my time
Has long been weight on my mind |;
At present have no incentive to steal
Or to turn my attention to arson,
My conscience, as far as my Searchings
reveal
Is as spotless as that of a parson. :
But fear that I soon will embark
On an evilly criminal trail
And spend my last years in a dark
And brutally punitive Jail.
| feel that my nature fordooms me to
sin, IN,
For piece have read in the papers
Explains very clear how felons begin
Their quite inexcusable caperS. q
They start with a hatred of work
:, They prefer to be much unem-
7 ployed-
All forms of hard labor they shirk,
All effort they Sternly avoid.
Their eyes on productive exertion they
cast z
With a glance of dismay and mis-
Z giving s
And habitual laziness leads them at
last q
To breaking the laws for a living.
So therefore I look on my fate
With many an ominous sigh,
No criminal ever could hate
The thing they call work more
than I.
The maximS my teachers have cram
med in my head
About work I have never paid heed
to,
So I spend all my days in a nerve
racking dread
OF the doom that my habits must
lead to.

gentlemen whose life has been spent
in the service of large business
house, where, without appreciaple
promotion, he has toiled at the mail
ing desk for some forty-odd dollars a
week. Possibly, because of untitled de-
sires, he has grown to look like cap
tain of industry, and lately has dis
covered that he can pick up extra
money posing for illustrations OF sue
cess advertisements. During the noon
hour he often slips over to the studio
of commercial photographer, sits
down splendidly at large mahogany
desk, poses as a business executive
who is saying to one of his men: Sim
mons, want you to take charge OF

Away back in the year 1925, when
the Harper brothers - James, John,
wesley and Fletcher = founded their
famous publishing house, it fell to the
lot of James, who was an apt story
teller and good all-arodnd mixer,
to deal with the visitors who called to
inspect their plant. One day an over
inquisitive visitor who had learned as
much about the affairs of the house
as a stranger should know, but who
persisted in learning more, said:
"You say, Mr.. Harper, that your
brother, John, sees to the accounts,
Wesley superintends the correspond
ence and Fletcher keeps the business
moving; but you haven't told me what
you, do"
"Oh, they leave me an enormous

No. lido we intend to build and
sell houses i'm ANSLEY PARK

YES-Just as soon as the filling and some
of the streets are completed we will build num-
Der of what may be termed sample homes at
various points in ANSLEY PARK. We will
also build houses to suit the plans and specifica-
tons of lot owners. This may be good time
to say that while these sample houses will be the
last word in modern convenience and architec-
tural beauty, they will be surprisingly low in
price and the terms under which they can be
bought will be more convenient and favorable
to the home builder or buyer than any we have
yet heard of in this section.
To give clearer and more definite idea of
what our plans include we intend to build a
modern seven room house on a lot with fifty
foot wide frontage on the street and eighty feet
deep to sell for less than ten thousand dollars.
Among many almost exclusive, modern
features this type of ANSLEY PARK homes
will have are:
Frigidaire and Kilvinator electric refrigera-
ton.
Oil burning hot water heating system
Automatic Gas Water Heater and
mean that all Of ANSLEY PARK, in addition to its
garbage and ash collection proper street
