More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE VOICE THAT WINS

THE VOICE THAT WINS
I was taught in my youth to be kind
and polite
And modest and gentle and meek.
was told I should always remember
to fight
Against outbreaks of temper or
pique;
I was led to believe that. on life's
. rugged path
Ill manners are never worth while,
And that mightier far than Goliath
of Gath
Is the voice with smile.
So smiling I went through the street
and the mart
AS ny placid career I pursued,
Though often discouraged I never lost
When people were ugly or rude.
I greeted bad luck with a smile on my
lips,
Though my soul filled with worm
wood and gall
answered all insults with good
natured quips
And gained nothing at all.
Today, looking round at the great
men I see
Who are senators, bankers and such,
I notice expressions of innocent glee
Are never employed by them much.
They thrust themselves savagely forth
through the press,
They battle and bicker and quarrel,
And almost I'm persuaded the voice
of success
Is the voice with Snarl.
One may have more fun as he
struggles along
BY keeping good natured and gay,
But he will not go far through the
workaday throng
Or win very much in the fray.
If again I might start as light
hearted boy,
To pack away wealth in my pouch,
And to rise to distinction, think I'd
employ
The voice with the crouch!

The Smithsonian Institutions re-.
cent expedition under Henry B. Col
Inns, Jr., determined the point about
which there had been some uncertain

kitchen middens and not artificial

with ashes, small animal bones and
other refuse from the kitchen.

Mr.. Collins excavated several of these.
His most important find was Of twen-

Most of the bodies had been folded
with the knees to the chin and burial
was very close together. The skele-
tons were excellently preserved. The

one bone was found with any evil
