Show CHARLES AND I. VM (By Walt Mason) i'll I met Charles Hughes in Estes Park t i JH where large and rocky mountains be; Vl and I shall treasure each remark that Kl this great man addressed to me. The fll getns of thought from great men's MH Hps are pearls we humbler men should 1 HH prize, nor can the passing years eclipse the observations of the wise. il "I shall be glad when summer's ll ceased," he said; "the heat has been a fl strain; but now the wind Is in the flH east, and I predict we'll soon have jH rain, In May and June It rained too , jH much, and then the siege of drouth began; wheat shriveled at the hot jH wind's Couch, and corn appears an also 1 ran. The talk of Issues never stops, and Issues oft have little worth; I )JH think tho weather and the crops are ll all that count for much on earth. If il wc havo rain when rain's desired, fl and sunshine when such shine wo jH need, man gets all things he has de- Bl sired, and all our theories run to seed. Sl In politics man's toil-is vain; his fll problems vox him, then they pass; jjH give us a million-dollar rain, and 1 JH nothing else will cut much grass." I H Copyright, 1916. ( |
