A Weanrer

I am a weaver of golden cloth

Singing old songs, I weave A fabric to wrap round a thousand dreams When the long blue shadows leave.

The smile of a girl in organdy, The touch of a small white hand, A winding road in Normandy Where tall white birches stand.

The path of a tear that traced a way Down a cheek I would have kissed; The starlight of a night in May, Red lips and meadow mist.

These things are golden: f weave them Mindless of pattern or form, Into the fragment cloth of gold That keeps my old dreams warm.

Where Troubles Go

A crowd of trouiles passed him by As he with courage waited. He said, "Where do you troubles fly When you are thus belated?"

"We go," they said, "to those who mope, Who look on life dejected, Who weakly say goodbye to hopeWe go where we're expected."

Dr. Eliot To Young Folks

"If I had the opportunity to say a final word to all the young people of America, it would be this: Don't think too much about yourselves. Try to cultivate the habit of thinking of others; this will reward you. Nourish your minds by good reading, constant reading. Discover what your life work is, work in which you can do most good, in which you can be happiest. Be unafraid in all things when you know you are in the right."

-Dr. Charles W. Eliot.

Short Story

"Every short story," said the Professor of Journalism to his class, "should have reference to the Deity, a touch of royalty and some mention of sex."

The next day an earnest student turned in his first short story.

"'My God.' said the Princess, 'take your hand off my knee t' "

Coolidge On Success

"I agree that the measure of success is not merchandise, but character. But I do criticize those sentiments, held in all too respectable quarters, that our economic system is fundamentally wrong, that commerce is only selfishness, and that our citizens, holding the hope of all that America means, are living in industrial slavery. The man who builds a factory, builds a temple. The man who works there, worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise."

Digging For Success

Hard work means nothing to a hen. She just keeps on digging and laying eggs, regardless of what the business prognosticators say about the outlook for this or any other year.

If the ground is hard, she scratches harder.

If it's dry, she digs deeper.

If it's wet, she digs where it's dry.

If she strikes a rock, she works around it.

If she gets a few more hours of daylight, she gives us a few more eggs.

But always she digs up worms and turns them into hard shell profits, as well as tender, profitable broilers.

Did you ever see a pessimistic hen? Did you ever hear of one starving to death while she waited for the worms to dig their way to the surface ?

Did you ever hear one cackle because,work was hard?

Not on your life ! They save their breath for digging, and their cackles for eggs.

Success means digging. Are you?

Stcrnping Your Money

By doing good with his money a man, as it were, stamps the image of God upon it, and makes both pass current in the merchandise of eternity.

-Rev. A. Rutledge.

"How come you got all dat soot on yo' collah, boy, has yo' been cleaning a chimbly?"

"Naw, Ah ain't been cleanin' no chimbly, an' dat ain't no soot-dat's dandruff."
