At End, Make Ceremony Short
and Hpltaph Simple, "Here
I. let a Man," Ih I Inal Supplica
tion. "Publicity Magazine," contains
the lullowing prayer, contributed
by Homer McKee. Anyone who
can utter this prayer in sincerity
and truth must be an upright man,
observes an exchuuge. Here is
the prayer:
Teach me that 60 minutes make
an hour, 1 6 ounces one pound and
100 cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that I can lie
down at night with a clear consci
ence, without a gun under my
pillow and unhaunted by the Faces
of those to whom I have brought
pain.
(Irani, I beseech Thee, that I
may earn my meal ticket on the
square, and in doing thereof that
I may nut stick the gatf where it
dues not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of taint
ed money and the rustle of unholy
skirls.
Blind me to the faults of the
other fellow, but reveal to me my
own.
Guide me that each night when
I look across the dinner table at
my wife, who has been a blessing
to me, that I have nothing to con
ceal. Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose my
self in their play.
And thn when comes the smell
of flowers and the tread of soft
steps, and the crunching of the
hearse's wheels in the gravel, out
in front of my place, make the cer
emony short and the epitaph sim
plest: "Here Lies a Man."
SUCH IS LIFE.
"George," she said, "am I
really and truly your little popsy
wopsy?"
"The sweetest peachy weachy
in existence," declared George.
"And you've never, never loved
another girl?"
"There isn't another girl in the
world worth a thought, sweet."
"What makes you love me so,
George?"
"Just because I can'l help it,
preciousest.'
"Am I an angel, George?"
"An elf, petsie. The daintiest
little fairy that ever drew breath."
"Oh, my true knight!" she sigh
ed. "Good night. Good night."
And five minutes later the dain
tiest littie fairy that ever drew
breath was snapping ma's head off
because the bread and cheese and
pickled onions were not laid out
for supper; whilst the true knight
was whispering sweet nothings to
the golden haired barmaid at the

0 PASSIONATE LIPS.
O passionate lips of the South ! come, kiss me again,
Passionate lips that burn with the flame of despair !
Leave on my face Love's burning marks and stain
So the witless world of dreams may know yo" were there !
Alas ! what is life wiihmn your immaculate glow !
Outside of your arm is a world with never a sun,
Kiss me, O passionate lips of the South, and so
Thus make me your male, as a bird, when the day is done !
0 restless lips of the sea, with your sting of the brine,
With your breast ol repose or stirred by a passionate thrill,
Kiss me, with all the fervor, that ever was thine
And all of my aims enslave by thy changing will.
Kiss me as one who is thrilled by the passions that wake
The soul from its sleep like one who trembles between
The thought and the kiss all that is mine, ah I lake,
And fold me close, where thy soul is at rest and serene I
Kiss me, O winds of the West, that steadily blow
I'roni mystical lands where the wild rose scents the air,
Waking the tulips, wherever your foot steps go
And bidding them bloom, in the whispered words of prayer !
Far back in those mystery years of a childhood's day
When you came from out of a land all dreams to me,
1 hedged with palms and blooms your mystical way
And linged your breath with a smell of the salty sea;
But never since then in the years thai followed and lied
Have you wrecked the lips I buildi d so well and stnmg.
For now there's a smile and a thrill at your voice and your tread
And threats once silent and still have a new, sweet song.
There's a soul in the wind of the South and a soul in the Sea,
And a passionate soul blows out of the scented West;
All these awaken their trial of dreams in me
These sweeten the burden of toil and the gift of rest.
BEYOND,
We call our friends, and our loved ones, dead,
When from the eyes their beaming light has tied,
While words of mystic meaning seem to rest
Still on their lips, in death left unexprest.
We call them dead, when on the coffin lid
The clods lie heaped, and the deep grave has hid
Their shrouded forms forever from our sight -Then
grope we blindly, lost in utter night.
By grief o'erwhelmed we, for a time, forget
That those whom we call dead are living yet,
Living in spirit form, for these Death dowers,
Forevermore, with Life's divinest powers.
Whom he has borne to some sublimer sphere,
Unlike the narrow one that held them here,
Therein in boundless glory to expand,
Learning what here they could not understand
So let us say, "not dead, but none bel'me,"
Sometime, somewhere, we'll mt.ei them all mice e,
Those whose dear dust rests under (lowers and sod,
But whose freed souls Death look and gave to God.
