V God grant no little child may go With hungry heart or empty hand Give thit thy world onjs radiant day To understand, to understand. Give us the fitting word to say, The spendthrift smiley the brave ca ress; Disclose our hearts and give us now The courage of our tenderness! Lord, we are old with toil and tears, Our souls are veiled with various art, Yet still the little children keep Thine ancient simpleness of heart And theyalone of all thy breath May bind the burning angel's eyet And, striking laughter from the sword, Retrace the years to paradise. They are so brave with love and dreams, 80 eager eyed and, ah, so dear! I think we must return them now The faith they bore across the year. 1 1 think that we must give them now The spendthrift smile, the kindly word, , That earth may keep its ancient hops j And we thy full commandments. Lord. -Dana Bumct. Simple Remedy.

"Doctor," she said, "I feel a terri ble pain In my side every time I put my hand to my head." "Then, madam," said the doctor, "why in the name of common sense do you put your hand to your headT WEARING THE SERVICE FLAG 1 No Waste Allowed. In the airplane factories In Great Britain, absolutely no waste is al lowed. Even the sawdust is sucked up through .giant shafts to be trans formed into gas, which in turn is used to generate electricity to drive the ma chinery. The whole power of the plant is supplied by Its own waste, a notable Instance of up-to-date economical methods. "Certainly youare not the first to flatter me nor the first that failed to pay me, but," she added, and her eyes filled with tears, "I had better hopes of you. Fine words wlll not help me." "I know they will not. What have I that will bring 17 llvres? This ring?" "But that is a wedding ring." "My mother's. And it Is for my wife. It Is for y ou." "That is a cruol Jest.

A book reviewer in the London Times makes the rather remarkable assertion that the word "interesting" is not one that should ordinarily be applied to a work of fiction. It is re markable because, for some occult rea son, he consjders the word unsuitable in Its application to any fiction of whatever character. If he had said that It has no fitness when applied to much current fiction he would ha e aroused no surprise. Exchange. Willows Mentioned in Bible. Willows are mentioned In the Bibli cal books of Leviticus 27, Job 11, Isaiah 14, Psalms 137. The tree upon which the captive Israelites hung their harps was the Sallx Babylonica.
