LISTEN DAUGHTER.
Let the Other Girls Smile if They
Want to, But Just Wait for the
Finish.
Listen daughter, don't go mop
ing around the house and singing
like a freight train cutting loose ait
brakes; and don't be walking
around with your eyes all puffed
up and red From tears, simply be
cause you can't have clothes that
wouldn't look good anywhere ex
cept on one of those freak magazine-cover
girls. I know its a
pretty tough world, from your
range of vision, because your ma
and I have forbidden you to wear
skirts that are too high and waists
that are too low. I know, child,
that some of the other girls are
chasing around the streets in cos
tumes that would shame a burles
que troupe and attracting lots of
attention; but did you ever notice
just what kind of attention they at
tract? Of course you haven't.
You don't happen to be within ear
shot when some of the boys say
what they really think about the
"other girls." Thank God you
don't. You're too young to know
those things yet awhile.
You say the girls laugh at your
simple, pretty little frocks and at
your freckles. Let 'em laugh!
That shows they are the other kind
of girls. Your mother and I met
each other long ago. I loved her
enough to a?k her to marry me
and she cared enough for me to
answer "Yes." We've been hap'
py ever since, haven't we, Ma ?
Our marriage took. It didn't take
any split skins or silhouette gown
to make me fall in love with your
mother, She never had much
contraptions on in her life. And I
didn't go prancing up and down
Main street with a monkey hat on
the back of my head and a cigarette
poked out in front of my face.
Let the other girls smile if they
want to, but just wait for the finish.
You won't find the decent young
chaps the kind I would want to
give my little girl to, marrying any
of the "other girls."
That's right, have a good cry if
you must. It will do you good.
But remember, Dad knows best.
So put on that pretty little dress,
the one we all like and we'll all go
to the moving picture show.

CASTORIA
For Infants and Cbildrea
In Ue For Over 30 Years
Always bears
the
Signature of
At fourscore years my soul breaks forth in singing
The vesper bell
Of life's long day in mellowed tones is ringing
"All's well; all's well-!"
This length of life with strength for tasks appointed
And still a place
In fellowship and work with God's anointed,
Are all of grace.
In early life goes forth a sower, weeping:
He waits; believes;
In later life he comes rejoicing; reaping;
With golden sheaves.
With powers preserved, I covet not inaction,
To rest and rust;
The spirit finds a higher satifaction
In toil and trust.
As duty calls, through clear and strong conviction,
My lace I run ;
Enough, at last, the Master's benediction:
"Well done. Well done."
Though shadows deepen, with the sun declining,
And clouds arise;
A heavenly glory often marks the shining
Of evening skies.
My cup is filled with goodness, sweetness
Full to the brim;
The past with all its sins and incompleteness,
I leave with him.
To fellow workers rapidly completing
Their long careers,
A veteran sends his Christian love and greeting
Our best we bring
Supreme event ! Creation's coronation
Of Christ as King !
THEY CRY "PlAGJ"
What's living and what's dying ? In themselves but (rifling things;
A turning on and turning off the light;
But the spirit that's within yon bids you up and spread your wings
And to the goal that's prompted make your flight.
If you're a cat you'll worry rats; if you're a mouse you'll steal;
If you're a fox then goosebones line your den; '
If you're a man fair kindliness for brothermen you feel
But you've got to do some scrapping now and then.
You are a man of peace, I hope; phlematic is your pose;
A saintly calm you try to cultivate;
But if a chap pugnacious comes and hits you on the nose
There is likelihood that you'll reciprocate.
At such a time the dove of peace itself develops spurs;
You cannot hope for less from peaceful men.
And spite of all the scornful gibes at "snapping, snarling curs"
You've got to do some scrapping now and then.
All progress in the world was born of fighting fast and fierce;
All things worth while come hand in hand with pain;
Benificence itself has barbs some tender heart to pierce;
And Peace is born ol men in battle slain.
A worm must die the death to give some dame a dress of silk;
A man must die that Truth may live again.
And if your veins are filled with blood instead of buttermilk
Why, you've got to do some scrapping new and then.
Whene'er the world is peopled with a lot of smiling saints
For the saintliest you'll hanker to be picked;
But if a thug gives you the boot, ignoring your complaints,
You've either got to lick him or be licked.
When you've licked him you may love him with a love that is intense,
May glorify sweet peace with tongue and pen.
But when trouble's in your system, get it out ! That's commonsense,
And you've got to do some scrapping now and then !

A SOLDIER'S FAREWELL,
A sad, yet a brave smile plays over his manly face
As he takes his own close to him in love's last embrace,
And whispers as only a soldier can, perchance the last adieu,
As he kisses away the tears From her weeping eyes of blue.
He trusts to fate and pictures farbeyond the gloom
A cottage wherein one day, Love's roses soft shall bloom;
When to glad arms he will return the victor of the fray,
And only death shall take him from his love away.
And oft as the sun shall set upon this cottage low,
Eager eyes will look for him eyes that love him so
But, ah 1 "farewell," he whispers at the sound of cannons rife
"I love thee not less than my country, but my country more than lite!"
