The" Call. BY WILBUR D. NESBIT. "And I wil say to my soul, 'Soul take thine cast. ". The Gospel according accord-ing to St. Luke, xii, 19. i The laughing whispers of the breeze I Go softly through the forest trees. The drifting shadows, dark and cool, I Piay hide and seek across the pool f Lut through it all the breeze brings J word i' Of haunts that know no song of bird, I Of barren alleys in the town Where all the day the sun beats down, I Of blurring, waving lines of heat ,: That float along the narrow street. t The road leads up the solemn hill, f Anj at the top the air is still. And one may look o'er field and wood And know that all the world is good But still he knows that far beyond The streets still hold their slaves in bond. That men benumbed of wrong and right Give of their strength to make the spoil That some win on the fie.ld of toil. , But here all through the dreaming day Go children laughing at their play. Go children singing, blithe and free V As any careless bird and bee And through the songs these children Li. sing ' ' Come chords that have a sullen ring, Come strains that sob from little lips, f . The pain of aching fingertips, a The weariness of heart and brain f. Of them that tread the path of pain. And so It goes by east or west Wherever we may seek for rest. 4 Wherever through the world we fare The undertones of grief are there, f Across the vineclad hills there come I Mirages of the distant slum, I And with each paying child there runs ? Some of toil's captive little ones And through it ever sounds the call That we are brothers one and all. A Boy's "Grigsby Station." Father's bought a limousine, as big as all creation. I Black and solemn like a hearse, all J shuttered in with glass: I Heavy as a Pullman car, befitting of his 1 station, I Shiny sides and tufted seats, all bound j and trimmed with brass: J Sister has a touring car, all fixed up I swell and 't'ony," i Gets a lot of other girls, but there's no room for me, Wish I coud go back again and have a I cart and pony.

Spends her days out in the park and on the boulevard, Lots of times I'd like to go out where i there's fish and diving, I But there isn't room for me, which makes it awful hard.

Oh, curfew shall not ring tonight Unless we find the piece That fits up in the belfry high; Let not our efforts cease; There's Mary calling cattle home Across the sands of Dee; In all these pieces, which are sands, Which cows, and which are she? We have but part of Bonaparte, The skeleton at that? We cannot find his sword and boots, His forelock and his hat. Great Washington about to start Seems wholly at a loss. Because, you see, there is as yet No Delaware to cross. Dupre's balloon should now ascend The sky was done at noon; But while we have the bal all right, We cannot find the loon. A goose girl, once a humble maid, We view with manner awed. To the four hundred (pieces) she Belongs since she was saved. Blanche Wade, in New York Sun. A Temperance Tale. The new and very stringent prohibitory pro-hibitory law which goes into effect ia Kansas has revived an old story on the subject. A stranger went Into a Kansas Kan-sas drug store and asked for some whisky. "I can't sell you any whisky," said the druggist. "But I'm sick," persisted the stranger. stran-ger. "That won't help any." replied the druggist. "It don't make any difference. differ-ence. I can't sell you any whisky for being sick." "Well, what can you sell it to me for?" asked the stranger. "The only thing we can sell whisky for in this town," said the druggist, "is for snake bites. Hold up n5w,' don't ask me where to get bitten. No use. There is only one snake in town, and he is engaged for three weeks ahead." Kansas City Journal. Those Rare June Days. What is so rare as a real June day That truly comes in June? A day when the laughing breezes play With orchard blooms at noon. When sunshine is mottling" the orchard grass And jewel-blue Is the sky That's the June day which comes to pass Some time late in July. Yes, a June day is rare so rare It rarely comes at all. Half of the time the chilly air Brings thoughts of early fall; Shivering gusts of the wild March wind Go cutting you to the bone. Ah. a June day of the real June kind Certainly stands alone. "What is so rare as a day in June?" Who was it asked us that? Was he a man who wore too soon His panama straw hat? Did he in his joy take his flannels off And revel in clover bloom? If that be true his racking cough Called him unto his tomb. What is so rare as a real June day That comes knee-deep in June? Knee-deep in the mud, we had better say! Perhaps in a balloon One might get away from the fog and chill And find the blue of the sky. But lacking that we'll wait until Some time late in July. Chicago Evening Post. The Penalties of Fame. I dreamed that Fame was mine, And all along the line Friends, relatives and foes all three-Began three-Began to hammer me, And when I woke 'twas with relief immense im-mense To find my Fame marked down to thirty thir-ty cents. I had the dream once more, 'Twas worse than 'twas before. I found myself perched up on high Junst underneath the sky. Stone-cold it was, and loney. Oh, be sure 'Twas sweet to wake and find myself obscure. Again it came. Alas; How sorry was that pass. A wreath of bay all flaming red Pressed on my scorched head Did sear me so that when I woke anon 'Twas bliss to find I'd but a nightcap on. . And hence it is I say Fame need not come my way. I much prefer things as they are In byways nebular, Where public optics do not rudely star? And burning laurels do not singe my hair. J. H. B., in Harper's Weekly. Cardinal Opposes Women's Suffrage. In an address to the girl graduates of St. Joseph's college and academy, Cardinal Car-dinal Gibbons is reported to have declared de-clared against women suffrage, saying, ln part: "I am entirely opposed to woman suffrage, not because I hate the women, wo-men, but I love them and want them to fulfill the mission for which God intended them. If you play in the arena of politics you will be covered with its dust. If you grasp too much you will lose everything. Nowhere Is woman so honored as in the United States. This Is largely due to the chivalry and courtesy of the men, and If you are protected by the male sex, what more do you want I want to remind you that woman has a great mission in Mfe. You should therefore have a deep Bense of your responsibility responsibili-ty in the domestic walks of life. You cannot hope to preach in church, but you can preach in your homes and reach those with whom you come in contact in your daily lives. Preach to your fathers and brothers." ECONOMICAL CAMPING OUTFIT. (Outing Magazine for July.) It is not necessary to enjoyment and comfort that one be provided with a large or expensive outfit for summer camping. I have always found the simplest the best. Too much of the paraphernalia of civilization robs a camp of much of Its charm. No small part of the pleasure of camp ng is derived de-rived from the necessity of improv se, and satisfaction derived from Inventing new ways of doing things. As an ade-Julte ade-Julte outfit for two I would suggest the following: Waterproof "A" tent. 7x' thJS O0 ItS e forVtching tent and 'general Waterproof ' 'ound ' cYoth ' for" tent flor WWW 1.00 ?tnoneVXshapenVngaxa'ndknives.. .25 can towels and matches '"I S ! would recommend having the tent J front fitted with mosquito netting. The outfitter where the tent is purchased will do this, or It map be easily done at home Cooking and kitchen utensils: Two 3-quart kettles. One 2-quart kettle or coffee pot. One fry pan. One large pan for mixing and for dish-, pan. One wash basin. One large Etlrring spoon. Four small spoons. Three cups. Knives and forks. One small butched knife. An aluminum folding baker will be found a great convenience. These are worth about $3.50. With a little experimenting experi-menting one can roast and bake very well, however, before an open fire. Aluminum pots, kettles, cups, spoons, etc., will not tarnish, are very light, ano! last indefinitely, but are rather expensively. expen-sively. Where weight is not to be especially es-pecially considered, ordinary enamel ware will answer just as well, however, and the cost Is inconsiderable. |
