Affection, respect and good will. Wher-

Official Ease.

Official Ease.
When Uncle Jim was landed
Into an office high
His luck, mongst us, commanded
OF envy many sigh.
We pictured him, all free from care,
Reclining in an easy chair,
With servitors drawn up In line
To tempt him with cigars and wine.
Yet when we rushed in gladness
To visit Uncle Jim
His smile was full of sadness;
His tone was rather grim.
He never rests nor drinks nor smokes
Lest he offend us voting folks,
And those who stand In line are found
Just ordering Uncle Jim around.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Toys.
When to a party forth you 60
You deck yourself with care
In clothes that are cut out to show
Your shirt fronts glossy glare.
Your yachting clothes you gayly don
Because you seem to think
That If you did not have them on
The boat would surely sink.
You cannot camp among the trees
Till you are fitted out
To give you all the graceful ease
OF mature Boy Scout.
Mans cares of costume never end
AS through the world he jogs;
His happiness seems to depend
On always changing togs.

Bed of Clover

DGu OI NlOVeF
Born to life's rich bed of clover
Not so long ago.
Wealth to roam the whole world over,
Every port to know.
Yet the pleasure scenes SO bright
Were the same each gala night,
And the roses in their blooming
Each year had the same perfuming,
And the music of the minute
Just the trilling of a nnnet,
And the girls that cut caper
Like 50 many dolls Of paper.
Then he found bed Of clover
Under Summer skies
Where he stretched at ease, o rover
a Weary Of LIES lies.

Taxed, intensifying her helpless
ness so that she might know
to the uttermost the strength Of
his vigorous body.
Opening the door softly be-
fore he knocked in the morning,
Kin would find them clasped in
each others arms. He was well
pleased. Now had his moment
come. The missile would pay
little attention. The mouths OF
his family would be well filled
for time.
So the months slipped by, and
Hester'S time of travail was not
far away. In his heart Stephen
felt that she should have more
expert care than the Danish
doctor, who had been here
many years, could give her. But
when he thought of parting
from her, he felt manned and
helpless, and the vision Of Hes
ter travelling alone out into the
world, the world that now
seemed abnormal to him in it's
activities, its dangers, disturbed
him.
Hester. do you feel that you
should go?"
"Oh, no, Stephen. No. I
couldn't, couldn't 60 alone"
She broke into frightened sob
bling.
There, there" he hushed her.
IT couldn't bear to have you go.
but I thought maybe you'd have
better care"
In the morning they con-
fessed they had been foolish.
Nothing need take Hester away.
The Danish doctor was good,
and he was very kind. Once
again Hester began to feel that
she was in sanctuary in the
little house shut off from the
world by the rumble Of the long
carts.
CHAPTER IS
The winter broke. One day it
seemed unending: the next, as
they sat at lunch, they heard
the drip of melting snow from
the caves of the house. There
was a knock at the door and
Kin uShered Jim into the room.
well, where'd you drop
from?" shouted Stephen, de-
lighted.
Just asked the boss If I could
take run up to see you"
Stephen eyed his friend with
pleasure realizing how he had
missed the comradeship of men.
But Hester felt Jim's coming
an intrusion, Earring her chrys-
ais of delight.
That night the two men sat
talking together after Hester
had gone to bed. Stephen
couldn't stop talking. So much
to ask about. Good old Jim. He
certainly looked fit enough. But
hang it all, he didn't want Jim
to lose out now when the big
chance was coming.
"Say," he blurted, why don't
you cut the drink out? With all
this new organization coming
on you'll get a big place if you
don't play the fool"
do I look any less fit than
ever have? AS for business
you know my work.
well, what's all this talk
drifting around? even hear it
from the agent. I'd like to get
hold Of the fellow that started
it,"
Steady there, Steve. You'll
only hurt yourself with the
company, if you start defending
me. And anyway it doesn't mat
ter" Jim went on. 1--WE decided
to chuck the whole thing. That's
why I'm up here really-to tell
you. I've had a little money left
me. Not much, just enough to
give me a start"
In the dusk of the next after
noon, as the two men were
leaving the office, Jim rested
his hand on Stephens shoulder.
Say, old chap, you won't mind
my mentioning it. will you?
Hester and you ought to get
out Of here. Somewhere, any
where, Just to have a changer"
