We have been fools, and grievous
fools still are
Wrangling in hate and blood and
lust for power
Which spoil the joy and freshness

Of tiny life upon this lovely star.

FRANKLY JEALOUS
How ardently your ear is bent
To every little motor knock;
You seem to have the darn thing
checked fi
Almost every other block.
With what unflagging solicitude.
You keep your car a resplendent

You polish every raindrop off
You rub its metal shining bright
You're cherishing each rubber tire
To within an inch of its dear life—
If only, darling, you would lavish
Half that devotion on your wife!

TRUE GREATNESS
True greatness lies in simple things
The kindly thought, the worthy deed,
The fellowship of man to man r,.
Should be our simple creed.
The tasks that we perform each day
May seem humdrum, and drear,
But others seeing us, may take.
New courage and new cheer
So many folks are watching us,
Listening to what we say,
The idle words that we, each speak,
Cause joy, or grief each day.
True greatness comes to you.
The things we each may do,
If you bring joy to other folks,
True greatness come to you.

THINGS TO FORGET
1f you see a tall fellow ahead of the
crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud
And you know of a tale worth telling
aloud
Would cause his proud head in an-
guish be bowed.
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a skeleton hidden
away
In a closet and guarded, that will
darken the joy
Iu_ the dark— and whose showing;
whose sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and
lifelong dismay—
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a thing that will dar-
ken the joy.
Of a man or a woman, a girl or a
boy.
That will wipe out a smile, or the
least way annoy
A fellow or cause any gladness to
cloy --
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.

TOLERANCE
By One of the Ninety and Nine.
Lo! He is back who caused so mob do
When he,,was missing at the dusk, and
when
The Shepherd sought him all the long
night through
O'er weary miles to bring him back
again.
Now he is grazing calmly with the
flock,
Nibbling the tender grass at early
morn,
Footsore from many a cruel jagged
rock.
Showing the marks of mire and of
thorn.
But I, who never played the truant
part,
Nor felt the wild and sudden urge
to go,
Dare hold no censure in my inmost
heart,
Nor any scoan since I may never
know
It is goodness hold me to the fold
Or terror of the night -and wolves —
and cold.
Mabel Freer Lover idga.
PASTORAL
Shadows of smoke blowing on the
grass
And the grass bending down before
the wind
Like water--moving--
And
ater-moving—And a stillness over everything
Like the quiet space that comes be-
fore daylight.
And suddenly—over the shadows the
tremulous weaving of sunlight.
Like buttercups strewn in the grass;
Battalions of buttercups that it would
be good to go and lie in
And press your face against
And clutch in 'your fingers.
Shadows ofsmoke' blowing on the
grass
And quenching the buttercups!
