One Sign He Believed In

"Shame on you !" stormed the judge to the colored man who was asking for a quick divorce. "You come into this court and state that, because you believe in signs, you want to stay away from your home and get a. divorce from your wife. I repeat, shame on you ! A man in these times should not let superstition break up his home !"

"Jedge," said the plaintiff, "taint superstition Ah's afeared of, but Ah do believe in signs. Fo' de las' three nights, after Ah'd gone t'bed, Ah could heah dat 'oman honin Mah favrit razah."

Grit

Supposin' fish don't bite at first, What are you goin' to do?

Throw down your pole, shuck out your bait, An' say yer fishing's through?

You bet you ain't, you're goin' to fish, An'fish, an' fish, an'wait, Until you've ketched a basketful, Or else run out of bait.

Suppose yer luck don't come at first, What are you goin' to do?

Throw up the sponge an' kick yerself, An growl, an' fret, an' stew?

You bet you won't; yer goin to fish An' bait, an' bait agin',

Until fish luck takes hold yer hook, Fer grit is sure to win.

The Good Old Dcys

President Grover Cleveland, about to make a speech at the University of Virginia, was introduced by the famous Fitzhugh Lee, who said:

"Mr. President, we are honored in welcoming you to Virginia today, both as a loyal Democrat, and as President of the United States. 'Tis a long time since we have had a President with us. But the time was, Mr. President, when all we had to do was go out on this portico and holler 'Mister President'. and the woods would be full of them."

Dreams

Dreams are an escape from yourself. They are a kind of carpet on which one steps and rides away from his wounds and his mediocrity. And they are more: As far as you can dream, so far can you one day go, for dreams are the lovely plans of the unknown reaching toward us to be fulfilled. They are the multi-colored promise of that which can come to pass.

What is a flower but the completed vision of a quiet little seed, dreaming in the dust? What are these terraced buildings all about us like strong hands lifted toward the sky in grave salute, but the dreams of men, come true? What are the stars, and beyond more stars too far for us to see-all the mystery and movement of the universebut the reveries of God expressed in form? When one no longer dreams of the beauty that could be, he has begun to die.

The Boy

By Edgar Guest

A possible man of affairs, A possible leader of men, Back of the grin that he wears, There may be the courage of ten; Lawyer or merchant or priest, Artist or singer of joy, This, when his strength is increased, fs what may become of your boy.

Heedless and mischievous now, Spending his boyhood in play, Yet glory may rest on his brow, And fame may exalt him some day. A skill that the world shall admire, Strength that the world may employ, And faith that shall burn as a fire, Are what may be found in your boy.

He with the freckles and tan, He with the fun-loving grin, May rise to great heights as a man, And many a battle may win. Back of the slang of the streets, And back of the love of a toy, May be a great spirit that beats, Lincoln once played as a boy.

Trace them all back to their youth, All the great heroes we sing, Seeking and serving the Truth, President, poet, and king. Washington, Caesar, and Paul, Homer, who sang about Troy, Jesus, the greatest of all, Each in his time was a boy.

It's The Truth

A well known writer says that the world's greatest stories have just been collected and published. That's wrong. The world's best stories have been collected, all right, but they'll never be published.
