. As YOUNG men arc wont to do
1 bought somo flowers for my girl
and couldn't pay for them so re-
cently I took a walk In the country
to think a way out I saw a TALL-
MAN coming toward me. My con-
science must have hurt becauso
I' wondered WHETHER now I was
a FREEMAN or If he's TRINE to
LYNCH rne;
I HEARD a WOLF behind so I
was' afraid" to turn back . and
dyfiRDV the' ditch the 'CLAY was
to sticky I couldn't walk -there. It
proved to bo tho man I borrowed;
thp money from and I resolved
"Hq' MAHAN mo a raw deal' birfc
I'll faco him.' So . took an cxta
stick pf Spearmint and strode
bravejy on. .
The cruel 'creditor SCHUG me by
the collar and shouted "I'll teach
you how to TREAT a friend of
your father; to-MORRIS tho last
day and if .you don't pay me I'll
get out a public 'notice and
TACKETT on your door. Don't
pop your gum at me! Don't you
know cultured MINCHEW gum
only' In privacy? You ought to go
to freshmen etiquette lectures."
I was surprised to find myself
answer "If you're Wise you'll do
mo a FAVER and turn me loose."

I got. out at the CRASS roads

Safe on the .other side however. I

Would that we had known thee better

We do offer thee our1 praise
For the life of quiet devotion
That to us thy Lord portrays.

Thy passing is our reminder

MY FRIEND IS DEAD
Time heals all wounds;
And there are wounds" that time alone can heal.
When ihearts that ache . .
Are bowed in sorrow;' grief has full control
And comforting is vain.
And noi grim death has stalked
Across my path and stolen" from my life
The dearest friend I knew.
My heart is crushed; and I can neverrlaugh
Or be the same again. r
Relieving tears maycome .
And for a while perchance may smiles return.
But after in the still
The' smiles must flee away; and leave with me
An aching heart that bleeds. .
Tlien Time go forward! .Haste!
id 'in thy hast'ning stride erase this grief
And leave my .heart relax.
Let it no longer quiver with the pain
That rends it now in twain.
Time heals all wounds; v
Apd there are wounds that time alone can. heal.
My wound is great:
-'?.r' ! ?.
The friend I loved is dead.
NATURE AND FAITH
We weptt 'Twas nature wept but faith
Can pierce beyond the gloom of death 4
And in that world so fair and bright
Behold 'thee in refulgent light I
We1 miss thee here; yet faith
Know thou art with the Heavenly Father.
Nature sees the body dead
Nature stops at Jordan's tide faith beholds the other side;
Tliat but hears farewells and sighs;
This thy welcome in the skies. ' - '
Nature mourns a cruel blow faith assures it is not so;
Nature never sees thee rnqre-faith but sees' thee gone befdre ;
Nature tells a dismal story faith hath visions f till of glory ;
Nature views he change with sadness faith' contemplates
it with gladness
Nature murmurs faith gives meekness;
Strength is perfected in weakness. . . (.
'Natures writhes and.. hates the rod; . ..
Faith looks up and blesses God.
Senses looks downward faith above;
That sees harshness this sees love.
0 let faith' victorious be let it reign triumphantly
IJut thou are gqne.;'.'npt I03V but flown'
Shall I then ask thee back my ow?
Back and leave 'thy spirit's brightness? . .
Back and leave thy robes' of whiteness?
Back-Hand lavo thya'ngel mold?
Back jind leave th'ose streets of gold ? ( '
Back and leaye q Lamb who feeds thee?
Back from founts to .which He. leads thee?.
uacK ana leave iny neaveniy at'tner (
Back to earth and sin ? Nay rather
wuuiti i uve .in nuiiiuue;

I would not ask thee if I could ;
But patient wait the high decree-
That calls my spirit home to thee.
