Seeing Becuty Rare

"That night rve saw lights gleaming at the foot of the mountains. and at dawn the scent of the island came out to us-a poignant perfume, soft and langurous, all-enveloping and heart-stirring. When morning came I saw exactly what Columbus had seen and faithfully described: tumbled, purple mountains; misty blue peaks stabbing up out of rich forests; velvety plantations draped opulently over green savannahs; lush valleys slashed as by giant axes through cliffs carved by Cyclopean chisels into battlements and castles. San Domingo-Hispaniola-Haiti !

-Kenneth Roberts.

No Recrson Why Not

A brightJooking boy applied for a job at a local store, and when the manager asked his name, he said:

"Lincoln. Sir: Abraham Lincoln."

"Well," said the manager, smilingly, "that's a very wellknown name. isn't it?"

The boy said:

"Well, Sir, it sure ought to be. I've been delivering gi-oceries all over this town for mighty near two years."

A Strcnge Dim Drecrm

Thus life by life, and love by love, We passed through the cycles strange, And breath by breath, and death by death, We follorved the chain of change; Till there came a time in the law of life When over the nursing sod, The shadows broke, and the soul awoke, In a strange' dim t':il::fl'"tSmi*r.

Altercrtions Going On

A bum who had held out a battered hat on the same street corner for years, stands in his accustomed place this day, begging, but now he has a sign that reads:

"Business as usual during alterations."

One who knew him, stared, stopped, and asked what the sign meant?

Said the bum:

"I'm having my hat blocked."

Nothing Excitingl

John Thomas Moore, of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, is the only living man who saw the first fight of the Wright Brothers plane on December 17th, 1903, on the Kitty Hawk hilltop. The other six men who were there, are dead. So, when they celebrated the anniversary of the fight in Washington recently, Mr. Moore was brought there as honored guest, and made a fuss over. He took it calmly. Asked if he appreciated the fact that history was being made that day at Kitty Hawk when man first flew, he replied: "No. I just knew it was damn cold."

A Mqn's Prcyer For A Mate

"Give me, God, a vibrant fame of a woman for a mate. Make her, I pray Thee, a woman of merriment. Fill her with a master love for the Strenuous. Enlarge her vision, so that it will see all things, and make her wise with that wisdom which shall see naught that demands her forgiveness. Make her, I pray Thee, a sweetheart of the Natural. I rvould have her frank and fearless and gentle, fit to play her hand in the game of life in the manner of a Master."

Thomas Dreier.

The Horcrces Sqid It

Horace Greeley said: "Then hail to the press, strong sword arm of justice, bright sunshine of truth."

Horace Walpole said: "The world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel."

Horatio Nelson said: "I have only one eye; I have a right to be blind sometimes."

Horace (the Roman) said: "It is when I am struggling to be brief that I become unintelligible."

Horace Greeley said: "Go West, young man, and grow up with the country."

And, remember, we still haven't quoted from Horace Mann, the educator; Horace Latimer, the editor; Horatio Gates, the revolutionary general; nor Mr. Macaulay's Horatio at the Bridge. Those guys named llorace must have something on the ball.

Two Births

There are two births; the one when light First strikes the new awakened sense; The other, when two souls unite, And vse must count our life from thence, When you loved me, and I loved You, rhen both

But TheY Mcde It

A woman. blind from birth, stood at an intersection of a busy business street in a big city, waiting for someone to help her across the street. She felt someone stop close to her, and said: "May I go across with you?"

A man's voice said, "I would be very glad if you would"'

So she took his arm and they crossed the street safely' "Thank you so much," she said.

"Please don't thank me," he replied. "When one has been blind as long as I have, it's a mighty big favor to find someone willing to help him through traffic'"
