Prelude

I sing no idle songs of dalliance days, No dreams Elysian inspire my rhyming; I have no Celia to enchant my lays, No pipes of Pan have set my heart to chiming.

I am no wordsmith dripping gems divine Into the golden chalice of a sonnet; If love songs witch you, close this book of mine, 'Waste no time on it.

Yet bring I to my work an eager joy, A lusty love of life and all things human; Still in me leaps the wonder of the boy, A pride in man, a deathless faith in woman. Still red blood calls, still rings the valiant fray, Adventure beacons through the summer gloaming; O, long and long and long will be the day 'Ere I come homing.

Robert W. Service.

Technicql

At the public library, a small boy presented a well-worn, dirt5r volume at the return desk. The librarian looked at the book, leaned forward to take in the size of the boy, and remarked: '

"This is rather technical, isn't it?"

Planting his feet firmly, the boyhalf-defiant, halfapologeticsaid:

"ft was that way when I got it."

A Word to the Wise

When a woman is left too much alone, Sooner or later she begins to think; And no man knows what then she may

-E. A. 'discover. Robinson.

Poor Job

Nobody finds as many things of interest in the local newspaper as Aunt Samantha.

"Job printing," she read from an advertisement. "Poor Job ! They've kept him printing week after week, year after year, ever since I can remember. If he wasn't the patientest man that ever was. he never would have stood it for so long."

The Endless Chqin

A visitor contemplated the cool wind of April and the snow on the mountain tops. He said to the attendant:

"When does the snow melt on those mountains?"

And the other said: "When it gets warm around here."

And the visitor asked: "And when does it get warm around here?"

And the fellow replied: "When the snow melts on those mountains."

The Plqin Mqn

The plain man is the basic clod From which we grow the demigod; And in the average man is curled The hero stuff that rules the world.

-Sam Walter Foss.

The Ideql Stote

The Seven Wise Men of Greece attended a great dinner in Athens and were asked the question, "What is the ideal state?" They replied:

Solon: "That in which an injury to the least of its citizens is an injury to all."

Bias: "Where the law has no superior."

Thales: "Where the rich are neither too rich, nor the poor too poor."

Anacharsis: "Where virtue is honored and vice detected."

Pittacus: "Where dignities are always conferred on the good, never on the bad."

Cleobolus: "Where the citizens fear blame more than punishment."

Chilo: "Where the laws are more regarded and have more authority than the orators."

Foir Enough

The firm had a new office boy. A few days after he started work, a ten dollar bill disappeared from the cash drawer. The boss called in the new boy and said severely:

"There is ten dollars missing from the cash drawer, Albert. Now you and I are the only ones who have keys to that drawer."

"Well," said Albert, "suppose we just pay five dollars each and say no more about it."
