. Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Dusk Hour

At the end of the way I come to~you
After my daily fight,
Finding all that need in you,
Solace and fresh delight.
Throughout my grim, commercial day
I play for gain and power.
I come to you with the suns last ray
Dusk is your hour.
What If I came in the soft twilight
After my hard-spent day
And found just shadows and falling
night,
Found you had slipped away?
would go on with my daily fight
For money and place and power.
But I'd call you back In the early
night
Dusk II your hour.

Vocalixation.
Mockin' bird Is singin' sweet
Yonder in the tree.
Likes to fashion songs so neat
Just for you and me.
Singing fast or singing slow,
Often I'm in doubt
If he really can know
What he's singin' bout.
Had to chop that tree away.
Dropped it with a bump.
Orator came round one day,
Stepped up on the stump,
Talking In q style secure.
Like to hear him shout,
Though I'm wonderin' if he's sure
What he's talkin' bout.

big unemployment rolls than Is the
reactionary element or big business.
The Democratic leaders rarely fail to
speak slightingly of big business. lust
what constitutes big business and
what little business is not easily said.
Business, big and little, is actuated
pretty much by the same motives.
The lack Of confidence on the part of
business, big and little. has been one
Of the great drawbacks to recovery.
Business has never been quite sure
what the administration has IN mind
to do from one day to another. 1t
has seen various maneuvers with the
dollar, the abrogation of the gold
contracts and the Government step
ping out in various directions in COM
petition with private business. So
business has been worried. The
banking business is worried particu-
larly over the administrators bank
ing bill and the electrical business
over the evident desire Of the admin
istration to have the Government
20 into the business Of producing end
distributing electrical power.
Senator Huey p. Long Of Louisiana
invaded the heart of the corn belt
and took . crack at the Roosevelt
agricultural policy. destroying food
surpluses. Des Moines, where ne
spoke, is the home Of Secretary Henry
A. wallace, the arbiter of the A. A. A.
policies. Long received . big hand at
his meeting, attended by q crowd
estimated at 10000 persons. Some
of these Democratic exhorters are
more drastic in their criticism OF the
New Deal farm program than are the
Republicans themselves. One OF the
most persistent and effective Is Sen
ator Harry Flood Byrd Of Virginia.
Senator Byrd and Senator Long have
not q great deal In common. but they
both dislike the farm program.
While Long did not advocate N MS
speech to the farmers the formation
Of a new political party, the farmers
themselves members Of the Farmers
Holiday Association, headed BY Milo
Reno, took the position that . new
political party should be organized.

smarter than at first I thought ne

OF fighting with him, but who would
be likely to keep Reddy Fox away"
Sitting very straight on his door
step Johnny Chuck watched Flip the
Terrier limp homeward, and Q short
distance behind him the other Chuck.
They were bound to 60 past and very
near one Of Johnny's old homes. He
didn't think Of that at first. When he
did think Of 1t he guessed right away
what would happen.
When that fellow sees that old

He settled down on his doorstep and
tried to dismiss the matter from his
mind. But 1t would't be dismissed.
No, sir, 1t wouldn't. The harder he
tried to forget the matter the more II
persisted in creeping into his thoughts.
For the life of him he couldn't think
Of any good reason for not wanting
that Chuck to use his old house until

at last he happened to think of Polly
Chuck. Then jealousy began to stir
up Johnny's feelings. It was silly. OF
course, 1t was silly. He told himself
that, but it didn't do one bit Of good,
not q bit.
Polly may not be awake yet. She
wasn't when I left up there" said he
to himself. "He probably doesn't even
know that she lives up that way.
Still, he Is bound to go looking
around and find the house where Polly
spent the Winter. Yes, sir, he will
find out she is there, and if she isn't
awake now he will be right on hand
when she does come out. OF course,
she wouldn't give him look. We
have lived together SO long that she
wouldn't think of having anything to
do with anybody else
He comforted himself with this
thought for q little while, but only a
little while. Then he got to think
ing about that other Chuck and his
thoughts grew more and more Jealous.
II wish he wasn't quite so big"
thought he. He Is as big as me and
he's strong. I found that cut in that
fight we had. And he's younger. Yes
sir, he's younger. OF course, that won't
make any difference with Polly. Yet
well, I don't like the idea Of that
fellow hanging around where she Isl
I ought to be up there to keep him
from annoying her. That Is where I
ought to be-"
The more he thought about the
matter and talked to himself about it,
the more jealous he became, yet he
wouldn't have admitted to any one
that he was jealous. He wouldn't even
admit it to himself. Jealous people
are like that. They fool nobody but
themselves. Johnny Chuck was jealous
Of that other Chuck. There was no
question about that. but he would
have been very indignant had any
one hinted at such thing to him.
He would have denied 1t flatly, and
In denying 1t, would have made 1t
even more clear that It was true.
He didn't sleep well that night,

Sitting in the South position, Jack

over four hearts. When the dummy
went down, business frightened con-
siderably. In fact, he tentatively be-
gan to figure up the value Of double
game.
As he said afterward, he wouldn't

Jack. Then, in the face of a deuce
from his partner, he continued with
the queen of spades. He said after
ward that he didn't think his partner
had the ace of hearts.
Jack trumped the second spade in
the dummy, and now had TO decide
whether West held two clubs or two
diamonds. He finally decided on the
two-diamond holding, drew trumps,
and found out that there was a slight
miscalculation somewhere. Dummy
was dead, and the diamond suit was
divided Al. West was given a chance.
Jack courteously pressed him for the
reasoning behind his defense. After
