Selected Poem
SAND DUNES

SAND DUNES Benjamin Sturgis Pray in the Christian
 Science Monitor. Sand and sea and wind and sky Across the sky the great clouds sail And small clouds hover on their trail Until the wind comes sweeping by. Sky and sand and wind and sea- Upon the sea ships come and go With wake of white until winds blow And waves wash out foams transiency. Sea and sky and sand and wind From wind alighting. plovers write A footprint document which flight Of shifting sand will soon rescind. Wind and sky and sea and sand, Though floating with the passing day, Stir pageantries of thought that stand In paths no wind can wash away.

TAXPAYER TAKES EXCEPTION TO PENSION LAW.
 Waterbury, Conn.
 Feb. s, 1o36.

VVSVSAN NSedt 0Os~@-'
 Feb. s, 1886. Editor of The Democrat
 I would like to say @ little more about that so-called pension law. It seems to me that the law (pen- sion law) was designed to cover all the buns of the state. The decent element of the state, after working all their lives and getting married, having children at Q wage that just gave them enough to live on and not enough to save should have ts depend on their children for shelter and food is vicious. The children in the majority Of cases have not enough for them selves. As to the other class of aged that saved enough to get Q small home, and are too old for the shops, they have two courses open to them, either give the home up to the bank or to the state. As I said before the whole law Is un- sound and vicious.

still writes good songs, but his
name never appears on them. For
weeks he exists on loans he makes
from friendly barkeeps and then
suddenly he'll make the rounds

money no one knows. They say
that love for his wife from whom
he's separated drove him to drink,
but the fact remains that although
they've been parted for nine years,
she's never remarked nor is she
ever seen with any man.
Her friends insist she loves
him devOtedly and would vel

gave up drinking. He's made

This is no story to write be-
cause it has such negative moral
in fact, no moral at all. Ten
years ago a wealthy matron, owner
of several apartment houses in
the West Seventies, hired a lad
just out of jail as the superintend-
ent Of one Of her buildings. Her
husband objected. Her friends
warned her how foolish she was.
She insisted every man should be
given the opportunity to redeem
himself. Nor could she be Swerved
from this decision when series OF
petty thefts was reported by her
tenants. Not until she caught
him rifling her own apartment
one day did she realize that in this
one instance her faith wasn't JUS
titled. She had the man arrested
and he was sent to prison for five
years. Before he left he warned
her that when he got out he would
settle matters with her. That, as
we've stated, was ten years ago.
Since then she has remarked, and
only recently moved into q new
apartment on Fifth Avenue. Rid
ing up the elevator, she noticed
that q new man was plotting the
lift. His features seemed familiar.
Pleasantly enough, she remarked;

eyes burning steadily into hers,

she recognized him. Her super
intendent, whom she had sent
to Jail. That was six weeks ago.
Every day she rides up the ele-
vatOr with the man who 10
years ago had threatened that
some day no would settle mat
tiers with her. She has told
her husband, and he, alarmed,
wants to notify the police. She
won't let him. 81 know the

carried the flaming ember for a
fairly well-known lass of the foot
lights, but she handed him q
shoddy deal and he hasn't had
much use for women since. Now,
a man frustrated in love will do a
number Of things. He may take
to drink and to random danes, or
he may bury himself in work
Some of our finest literary contri
buttons have been turned out by
men dashed by disappointment in
love.
This particular gentleman,
however, turned neither to drink
nor to danes, neither to work
nor to the high road. He's taken
his blow philOsOphically, and If
any one is the loser, it is the
girl, for there never has been a
Sweeter chap on Broadway.
Nevertheless, the theory that
frustrated love has its effect
still holds true in this instance.
The chap has become a checker
fiend. Day and night, whenever
he can steal time away from his
newspaper assignments, you will
find him seated in front of the
board moving the little wooden
disks. He's purchased all avail
able books on the subject and
his one great ambition is to
master the game so that he can
beat a certain friend who still
spots him two checkers each
time they play-which is every
night, including Sundays and
holidays.
