GOLDEN GLEAMS
The friends thou hast, and their adop

Grapple them to thy soul with hooks
and steel.—Shakespeare.
* * *
What you can do, or dream you can,
begin it; *
Boldness has genius, power asd magic
in it.—Goethe.
* * *
In the great war of Right and Wrong,
even I
My feeble help can give
To build a better world.—Brown.
WILL YOU SMILE?
If I were a sculptor who molded
A figure surpassingly fine,
If I were a painter who painted
A modern madonna divine,
If I were a poet who worshipped
My love with the lyrical line,
If I were a minstrel who chanted
Of love ’neath the heavenly blue
If I were those wonderful people,
And you were just plain little you,
I’d give you the gate in a moment
For, honest, you never would do!
—Brooklyn Eagle.
AIN’T EDUCATION GRAND!
According to a Boston University
student, "Socrates died of an overdose
of wedlock.”
Well, sometimes that is one of the
deadliest poisons love ever has to swal
low.
FOLLOW THE LEADER
"Oh, Mr. Policeman, a man has been
following me.”
"Are you sure he was following
you?”
"Yes, I went back two or three
times to see if he was coming.”
