Go to Fqther?

"Go to father," she said, when he asked her to wed. Now she knew that he knew that her father was dead: And she knew that he knew what a life father'd led, So she knew that he knew what she meant when she said"Go to father."

Treoting Them Gently

She was being shown around a fox faim and, after admiring some beautiful specimens, she asked the guide:

"Just how many times may a fox be robbed of his skin?"

IIe answered gravely: "Only three times, Madam. Any more than that might spoil his temper."

Supplying Needs

Thomas Dreier wrote:

Accept the truth that humanity's continual efiort is to multiply goods materially. People are always asking for more. Give them what they want, supply their needs, and they turn to you and reward you. Your own supply is increased by increasing the supply of others. The more you help distribute, the more comes to you for distribution. Make a reputation for good work in any field, and demands will be made on you for more of that good work. People are always seeking more monejr, more health, more opportu- nity, more companionship-always more of something. They give good will to those who help them get what they want. The way to success is simple. All you do is supply needs.

The Fqrmer qnd the Mule

(First printed in these columns a generation ago)

Over a dusty, hot hill, there came a man working a muledrawn plow. The man stopped the mule to wipe the sweat from his own face, and spoke to the mule as follows:

"Bill, you're a mule, the son of a jackass. I'm a man, made in the image of God. Yet here we work, year in and year out, hitched together. Often I wonder if you work for me, or I work for you. By golly, I'm beginning to think this is a partnership between a mule and a fool. Don't I work as hard as you? We cover the same distance, but you do it on four legs, while I do it on two. I do twice as much work per leg as you do.

"Soon we'll be preparing the corn crop. When I get it harvested, I give one-third to the landlord for the right to work this land; one-third you get to eat, and one-third I get. You go ahead and eat all of your third, while I have to divide my third with seven kids, a cow, two ducks, and a banker. When we both need shoes, you're the one who gets 'em. And all you do is help plow this corn. I have to cut it, shock, and husk it, while you look over the pasture fence and hee-haw at me. All winter long, me and the old woman save and do without so we can pay the interest on the mortgage and buy you a new collar.

"Bill, about the only time I'm your better is on Election day. Then I can vote and you can't. But after election I get to thinking that I was a jackass like your papa. I get to wondering if politics were made for men or jackasses; or to make jackasses out of men."

A Simple Subiecr

Homes

The cormorant builds on a ledge by the sea, The coot on the bank of a runnel.

The woodpecker hunts for a hole in a tree, The kingfisher digs him a tunnel.

The barnswallow nests in the haunts of the tame. The grouse in a brush in the cumber, The country-mouse lives in a hole with a name, The city mouse dwells at a number.

The bumblebee lives in a hole in the ground, The wasp has a mansion of paper, The ant may be found in a neat little mound, The clothes-moth resides with the draper.

The rattlesnake camps on the prairie-dog's claim, The bat in the cliff-hollow's umber.

The free man inhabits a home with a name, The slave in a house with a number

The feet-footed caribou rests in the brake. The mole at the end of a furrow, The beaver abides in a hut on the lake. The woodchuck is warm in a burrow.

Remote from the campfire's flickering flame, The bear in his cavern may slumber, And you're in the hills in a home with a name, But f'm on a street with a number.

-Arthur Guiterman.

Vignette

"Ife is the type of fellow that goes into a drugstore for a nickel drink, and expects to get with it two glasses of water, the use of a table and chair for an hour, the opportunity to listen to the radio and read a 35-cent magazine, three l0-minute conversations over the telephone, and then complains because the place isn't air-conditioned."

Horrors

"What are you laughing so hard about?"

"I just locked a woman in a room with a thousand hats and no mirrors."
