WALL OR ROAD
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

WALLS fences, borders. what
That shot and shell may shoot
away?
The barriers that hold US back
Are not the forts that men attack,
But barriers we seem to build
Within ourselves. The world is filed
With men who failed. l wonder
why?
SO oft a purpose seems to die
With not battlement before.
Peace has defeat as we'll as war,
And more dreams die by their own
hand
Than some attack some foeman
planned.
Well, first we build a wall of doubt
| About ourselveS-Ourselves shut out
From cities that we dream to take.
The wall the first of all to break,
Whatever victory we want,
Is that old wall that says, 81 cant. Z"
If thus you think, no other man
Is much inclined to think you can.
Who doubts himself has built a wall
Around himself the first of all,
And now must spend his strength
and time
His self-made barrier to climb.
And, even if he scales the top,
There is another thing to stop
His progress; it's the twisted wire
Of folly. habit and desire.
The brambles that will bar his path
Are often but the fruits of wrath
From seeds that he himself has
sown.
| bid you never plant your own
And you will find passage through
The pits that others set for you,
If you yourself no pits have set
OF futile sorrow and regret.
Yes, men will fall, and fall again,
Because they drag a ball and chain
OF foolish pleasure, doubt or fear.
But. If you keep your vision clear,
Your purpose true, your morals
clean,
Life has no bounds, luck no
deSmeSne.
How far a man may go. my friends,
How high he climbs, how low de-
scends,
Depends, whatever fortune brings,
On him, and not on other things
Not on his luck nor Oh his load,
But If he builds a wall or road.

PETER RABBIT TRACKS
HIS NEICHBORS 9

IT WAS a perfectly glorious night.
4 Mistress Moon flooded the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest with
silve-y light, and the white snow
which covered everything helped to
make still more light. In fact it
was almost as light as day, it
seemed to Peter Rabbit. In spite
of all little Mrs. Peter could say he
had started for the Green Forest
just as soon as jolly, round, red Mr..
Sun had gone to bed behind the
Purple Hills.
ITS just like visiting new
world" thought Peter as he reached
the edge of the Green Forest. II
do wish that Fuzzy wasn't so timid."
By Fuzzy he meant Mrs. Peter, who
you know, was once Miss Fuzzytail.
"She thinks that just because my
coat is brown and everything else
is white it is great deal more dan
gerous here than when there isn't
any snow. She doesn't know what
wonderful hiding places there are
everywhere now. The snow has bent
down all those little hemlock trees
and the lowest branches on the big
hemlock trees so that under them
are the most wonderful caves. Why,
can jump out of sight almost any
where here. Hello! | wonder who
made those funny tracks. | believe
I'll follow them and find out"
The tracks were just the tinlest
of little dots with a tiny little line
between the two rows. That line
puzzled Peter. You know he Is not
used to tracking his neighbors. OF
course the double row of dots were
the prints Of tiny feet, but what
made the line? Peter followed as

To begin with select some one Of

choose the first step should be to
wash the pieces to be mended in
warm water and soap and to dry
them thoroughly. Now piece them
together with your hands just to see
whether they will fit. Then apply
the cement to all broken pieces and
fit them carefully together.
A good plan if you have a mum,
