Asking Sons

A GE is always asking youth,
4 \ Asking fav0rs, that's the truth.
What, you ask, does age desire?
If you'd know, then ask q sire.
There are favors. certain ones,
Sires are always asking sons.
Sires are asking sons to play
In clean and decent way,
Seeking pleasures, but the kind
That will leave them pure of mind.
Brave Of heart, and strong Of will
Purer. Drawer. stronger still.
Sires are asking sons to spend
Time, before the time shall end
For their hours of study, too.
Doing what they need to do
That their future may be made
Fruitful with some honest trade.
Sires will labor, sires provide,
Slres viii walk that sons may ride,
Asking. as each father delves,
Sons they help to help themselves.
These the favors, this the task;
Does 1t seem so much to ask?

used constantly to describe some
one who appears to us to be extreme

follows:
: "Your wit will not so soon out as
another mans will; it is strongly
wedged up in a blockhead."
The reference made by. the word
was to the then familiar dummy heads
which stood in the show windows of
the wig makers of the day. Like the
faces Of the wax figures which are oc-

In fact after It was called to his
attention he did see it.
He also, without doubt, saw it was
deer.
Only he did not know 1t was q
deer, and the savage did.
For long experience had taught the
savage what deer looked like at a
great distance.
He could not possibly mistake it for
a bowlder or hummock of grass. as
the white man could.
The white man had never seen a
deer at distance.
Or he had never taken the trouble
to look into tree long enough and
intently enough to distinguish bird
from the foliage among which it was
hidden by its protective coloring.

Much the, same thing is observed by

distinguish the motionless white of
