ODE TO TEXAS
By Henry Van Dyke
Men of mark from Old Virginia,
Men of daring from Kentucky,
Tennessee and Louisiana,
Men of many States and races,
Bringing wiveH and children with
them,
Followed up the wooded valleys,
Raising homes and reaping harvests;
Rude the toil that tried their patience,
Fierce the fight and tried their cour-
age,
Rough the stone and tough the tim-
ber
Out of which they build their order!
Yet they never failed or faltered,
And the instinct of their swarming
Made them one and kept them work-
ing
Till their toil was crowned with tri-
umph,
And the country of the Tejas
Was the fertile land of Texas.

OUR TEXAS A BIG PLACE
There are only two things worth
while mentioning in the whole world
that Texas does rot contain, and
:these are the north and south poles.
ITx !>••• '• • h1' *'■•" continent of
iN< .'Vi. i ■ l'i«- small por-

Ttxa? is lx>'i •«'«•.? . tV r.i'.'th by
20 or 30 State*. . ,ut east by all the
oceans in the -world except the Pa-
cific, on the south by the Gulf of
Mexico and Latin America, and on the
west by the Pacific ocean and the rest
of the universe. Under Texas is a
subterranean sea of natural gas and
pure petroleum. Above it is most of
the sky and the major constellations,
l!" Texas were chopped of from the
rest of the United States at the Pan-
handle, it would float out into the
ocean, for under it ic a vast sea of
fresh water.
Texas is so big that the sun, in
five hundred million years has never
been able to travel over it in less than
a day. Unless your gate is at least
eight miles from your front door you
do not belong in good society as con-
stituted in Texas. Mr Wright's gate
is 150 miles from his front door and
he is thinking of moving his house
back so as not to be annoyed by pass-
ing freight trains. Some landlords
have whole mountain systems and
river ranges on their farms (near
Saint Jo.)
If all the Texas alfalfa were baled
and built into a stairway, it would
reach to the pearly gates. If all the
hogs in Texas were one hog he could
dig the Panama Canal in one root. If
all the Texas cotton were made into
one mattress, all the people in the
world could take a nap on it at one
time. If all the Texas steers were
one steer he could stand with one
front foot on Saint Jo and one hind
foot of Hudson's Bay, the others in
the Arctic Ocean, and with his horns
he could punch holes in the moon.,
while his tail brushed off the mist
from the aurora boreal is.
Texans are so proud of Texas that
they cannot sleep at night. The map
of Texas is photographed on their
brains and in their hearts. The chief
occupation of' Texans is trying to
keep from making all the money in
the world. Their chief ambition is
to finish up what is left in the way of
leading the world, and then turn
around and show the world how it
is done.—Anon.
And then it has no need for ringing,
For your voice takes its place.
A Dream.
(Stephen Phillips.)
My dear love came to me and said:
"God gives me one hours rest,
To spend! with thee on earth again;
How shall we spend it best?"
"Why, as of old," I said; and so
We quarrelled, as of old;
But, when I turned to make my
peace,
That one short hour was told.
The OId°Woman.
(Joseph Campbell.)
As a white candle
In a holy place,
So is the beauty
Of an angel face.
As the spent radiance
Of the winter sun,
So is a woman
With her travail done.
Her brood gone from her,
And her thoughts as still
As the waters
Under a ruined mill. -
I ain't said it ain't;
1 Lord! I had enough and double
Reason for complaint;
Rain and storm have come to fret
Skies were often gray;
Thorns and bramble have beset mo
On the road—but, say,
Ain't it fine today?
' II.
What's ti e use o' always weepin',
Makin' trouble last?
What's the use o' always kcepin'
Thinkin' of the past?
Each must have his tribulation,—
Water with his wine;
Life, it ain't no celebration.
Trouble? I've had mine,—
But today is fine.
III. |
It's today that I am living—
Not a month ago;
Havin', lo3in', takin', givin',
As time wills it so.
Yesterday a cloudy sorrow '
Fell across the way;
It may rain again tomorrow,—
It may rain,—but say,
Ain't it fine today!

Is my love for you.

An old silver bell, the last smile

Hangs at the top of my church.
It rings only when you come thru

Football Banquet.
The train was due at 7:15,so the
football boys and girls pep squad
rushed to the old station, the school
house, just in time to get on the train
because the conductor was yelling,
"Aboard! Aboard!" above all the
noise that the crowd was making dur-
ing the rush. For about 15 minutes
the room was in a scramble because
every one was looking for his or her
place at the tables amidst the cards
and balloons.
Between the courses,' wheh were
served by member of the P. T. A.,
the toastmaster called for speeches
from the superintendent of the rail-
road, fireman, engineer, conductor,
auditor, brakeman and several pas-
sengers. There were 30 present, in-
cluding Mr. and Mrs. Ware, Mr. and
Mrs. Burkhalters, Mr. and Mrs. Byrd,
Tobey Hughes, H. D. Field, Jr., Sam
Pedigo and Johnny Wilson, who were
important passengers.
