Every joy that went away.
Every peace that came to stay.
Flaunt of bird and flame of flower
Verging, merging toward this hour!
Now beside the smoldering embers,
Quaff1ng while the heart remembers,
lambert flame and ruby flood
Wrought to rapture in thy blood,
Sniff the scented, smack the tasted.
Note that naught of life was wasted.
BY the Lords own hand divine
Even thy tears are turned to wine!
Thus In joyance, not in fears,
Toast the vintage of thy years."
lf-dif1dently, half triumphantly,
she stopped suddenly and glanced back
across her shoulder at Stolworth.
"Pouff!" said Stolworth. We're not

Birthday Talks on Presidents

Avenue, that he knew that some day
the merry and frolicsome autos would
be fitting hither and thither. They
credit all these to the foresight Of
Washington, when as a matter Of fact
the width Of the Avenue was deter
mined to give a Senator or Congress
man room to stagger to his lodgings
without humping into a building. Then
he always felt that he had made 1t toe
narrow, for through their humping their
heads against the buildings he attrib-
uted some of the terrible laws that they
passed.
He made the Street wide for another
reason. He could look from the White
House up the Avenue and see when
some Congressman was coming to call
on him, and would know when to hide.

litical accomplice, and go away with
nothing but the story about What is

n you can fool all of the time"
That's why he was a Republican.

publican. Now its as I say, MI. Cool
