BY JAMLS WHITCOMB RII.IiY.
How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood
That now in tnem'ry I sadly review;
The old nieetiiiR-house at the edge of the wildwood,
The rail fence and horses all tethered thereto.
The low, sloping roof, and the bell in the steeple,
The doves that came fluttering out overhead
As it solemnly gathered the God-fearing people
To hear the old Bible my grandfather read.
The old-fashioned Bible
The dust-covered Bible ' ,
The leathern-bound Bible my grandfather read.
The blessed old volume ! The face bent above it
As now I recall it is gravely severe,
Though the reverent eye that droops downward to love it
Makes grander the text through the lens of a tear,
And, as down his features it trickles and glistens,
The cough of the deacon is stilled, and his head
Like a haloed patriach's leans as he listens
To hear the old Bible my grandfather read.
The old-fashioned Bible
The dust-covered Bible
The leathern-bound Bible my grandfather read.
Ah, who shall look backward with scorn and derision
And scoff the old Book though it uselessly lies
In the dust of the past, while this newer revision
Lisps on of a home and a home in the skies ?
Shall the voice of the Master be stifled and riven?
Shall we hear but a tithe of the words He has said,
When so long He has, listening, leaned out of Heaven
To hear the old Bible my grandfather read ?
The old-fashioned Bible
The dust-covered Bible
The leather-bound Bible my grandfather read.
AN OLD VALENTINE.
I wandered to on attic where lacy cob-webs swayed,
Where sunbeams, dusty golden, were dancing as ihey strayed;
And as I crossed the threshold with footsteps soft and slow,
1 fell the hidden presence of ghosts of long ago.
1 saw wooden chest there with rusty lock and key,
And when 1 knelt before it my dreaming eyes could see
Initials twined together and carving almost hid
By scratches, deeply graved upon the polished lid.
1 knell beside it, silent, and opened it with care;
I felt as if some girl-soul were standing by me there;
For dainty garments whispered, and perfumed laces sung
Of the morning and springtime, when all the world was young.
I saw a folded paper, all yellow with the years,
Perhaps the print of kisses, perhaps the mark ol tears
Had touched ii once tor, fastened with bow of faded blue,
It whispered through the ages a message, "1 love you!"
I laid il gently from me and closed the chest with care,
And breathing through the stillness I heard behind me there
A murmur half a love word, and half, perhaps a sigh
The phantom of a heartbeat of many years gone by.
Margaret 11. Sangster, Jr.
DROVE THE HACK.
It is a notorious fact that all the
old darkeys in the neighborhood
of Mi. Vernon claim to have been
General Washington's carriage
driver. One old fellow who
claimed that honor was asked by a
visitor how it was that all the old
negroes made the same claim. "I
don'lknow how dat is, b
"Well, uncli'," said ihe visitor,
"were you present when George
Washington hacked his' father's
cherry tree?" "Now, less see,
boss, do I ricoleei dat yes'um, I
dnv the hack."

I was real tickled today I made a new
frienrf. And now you bet you, he's some
tickled, too
You see, he is a mighty good fellow son
of a big flanter has bundles of money;
can buy anything he wants. And he
knows all about tobacco!
He was telling around that he would give
a heap for a cigarette that just hit 'his
smoke taste. Go I had them wrap me up
and I went to the rich planter man.
"Sir, I am a real cigarette," I said. "I am
sure you'll like me. I have good blood in
my veins. I am of fine Virginia and
Carolina stock and was raised in a clean,
wholesome home. I am a gentleman of
quality the Quality of the South."
So the planter's son tvied me and he liked
me, because
You Folks of the South KNOW good blood!
Ycx Folks of the South KNOW good toba ceo
Now my planter's son and I -we're real friends. He buys m- regularly, and he tells
everybody th. t you can't buy a better cigarette than SOVEREIGN at any price!
Why can' 1 1 be your friend, too? And, remembe- this
I am guaranteed by ...J, M Buy me.
If you don't like me return me to your dealer and get
ycut money back. I have said it A Southern gentleman is known
the world over for keeping his word, and I have given you mine.
