Leqve Me Lcy

Prone on my back I greet arriving day, A day no different than the one just o'er; When I will be, to practically say, Considerable like I have been before. Why then get up? Why wash? Why eat? Why pray?

Oh, leave me lay !

I hadn't ought to want things different, To what transpires every single day; But I keep wishing that I could have went From this heart-rendering dullness, quite away. And yet, why move? There's always rent to pay. Oh, leave me lay.

Consenrcrtive

He had just graduated from a journalism course in college, and was starting out in a small way on a local newspaper in his home town. He listened attentively while the City Editor listed a whole lot of "don'ts" to be remembered in writing news. He said:

"Never write anything as a fact unless you are absolutely sure about it, or you may get this paper in trouble, and maybe into lawsuits. If you are not sure about an item you are reporting, use the words 'alleged,' 'reputed,' 'claimed,' 'rumored,' or 'it is said."'

The young man repeated those words over until he had them memorized, then went out looking for news. Here is the first bit of journalism he turned in:

"It is rumored that a party was given yesterday by a number of reputed ladies. Mrs. Smith, or so it is alleged, was hostess for the affair, and the guests, it is said, were all local people with the exception of Mrs. Jones, who claims she is fresh from Chicago. Mrs. Smith, the hostess, claims to be the wife of Joe Smith, who is rumored to be the president of an alleged bank in this reputed city."

Steeples

I never pass a steeple by, But I must stop a while and linger, And catch my breath to see the sky, Take hold of Prayer's tremendous finger; And lift my heart as high.

Heaven is surely not too far To reach to: any quiet town Is in God's keeping where you are; You reach up ! He reaches down ! As steeples touch a star.

Just Quoting

A ten year old kid who wanted a watch, had kept on nagging his father about it until the old man got angry and forbade his son to even mention the subject to him again on pain of a licking.

This very religious family always repeated Biblical quotations at the breakfast table on Sunday, and when this little boy's turn came, he quoted: "What I say unto you, I say unto all : Watch."

No Spirit Is Wiiling

A boy who puts his toys away, Who washes his neck and ears, Who goes to bed at nine o'clock, With no objecting tears; Who cleans his teeth, his room, his desk, And combs his hair down slick; A boy, I say, who does these things, Is mighty, mighty sick.-Merle Benyon

Thcrt's Whcrt Old Ccesar Did

When Caesar took an eastern ride and grabbed the Gauls of Rome,

What was the first thing Caesar did to make them feel at home?

Did he increase the people's loads, and liberty forbid? No ! He dug in and built good roads-that's what old Caesar did !

Did Caesar put the iron heel upon the foreman's breast? Or did he try and make them feel that Roman rule was best ?

What did he do to make them glad he came their lands amidst?

He built good roads, instead of bad, that's what Old Caesar did !

He built good roads from hill to hill, g6od roads from vale to vale,

He ran a good roads movement till Old Rome got all the kale.

He told the folks to buy at home, built roads their ruts to rid,

Until all roads led up to Rome-that's what old Caesar did. If any town would make itself the center of the map, Where folks would come and settle down and sit in plenty's lap,

If any town its own abode of poverty would ridJust let it start and build good roads-just like Old Caesar did.
