I simply stare ;And grope for that stiletto phrase keen -edged, acute to jar That lack of sensibility, and leave a lasting scar. But it eludes me; I can think of noth- ing I should say That is not better left unsaid when folk behave this way. And in my saner moments I am glad that this is so; `Though sometimes the temptation has been great to letter go! The number of the folk who plan and say these cutting things So full of little lntrtlets and of tiny barbs and stings, Is much too great already as I'm sure you will agree; Can easily get on without such folk as you and me. They're always planning how they may "get even,” if you please, They never know a glorious moment's calm and spiteless ease. And so, perhaps. it's better thus to be so dull and -slow, That Life's sharp slings and arrows harmlessly a -past may I. go.

Now as King Arthur frowned around the hall, He whispered, as if muttering thou- ghts aloud: "Thou must return — Britain bath need of thee," The Voice said, and I came. as if compelled, To assemble my dispersed Knights And cleanse once more the land from foul designs. Where are they gone, Knights of old? Were they not told the land they love hath called, And answer must we all with sword and shield?" They are dead. but they have left us wealth beyond a miser's dream, Left us proud to be a nation high in other men's esteem, Left us roads where wild trails twist- ed, left us highways to the sea, Left us peace and sweet contentment; left us valiant; left us free— Saying—'"This, your land of plenty, jewel it with cities proud, Grace the land with art and learning, give us honor for a shroud. Teach your eager sons and daughters) that we died to give them life, Life with out eternal hardships, life without the ceaseless strife," Such their dream; have we been faith- ful to their silent sacrifice? Have we built a noble temple, or a shabby artifice? Have we lost their splendid vision in the milling halls of greed? Have we lost their sterling virtues, lost the beauty of their creed. the hall: "Truly I will do all you ask, nay more, For I will speed throughout' the land and rouse The mighty dead., whose souls shall spread and fill The heart and mind of every trap - born man To smite and to endure, till once again The earth shall smile. washed clean from tyrant thrall." my warrier The tapers in the great hall guttered out, And whirring, Whirling, wheeling to the skies, The men with wings dispersed to quell the foe. A. G. Clark OUTWARD DAYS These are the opening outward days. The cattle are let out to graze; The double kitchen doors flung wide Let scent of baking spread outside. The cock and hens come down their run Fluffing warm feathers to the sun.

Even as he spoke the great hall shook amain, And with loud rendering noise the vaulted roof Removed enough to leave an empty space Above the topmost row of marble frieze. As if by magic, men with full-grown wings Appeared, not sculptured, but of flesh and blood; Young featured, limbed with lithest.tne bodies fair, Tall, clear-eyed — models of Sir Lancelot, Of Gawain, Galahad and Bedvere. Arthur, amazed, arose to meet their cry: "We come, great King, in answer to the Call. With full-grown wings to soar again- st the foes That threaten Britain's green and lovely earth That seek to mar her freedom and her faith. We shall not fail if thou, our Ring, shalt lead The spirits of thy great and glor- ious Knights, That they with us may ride the flam- ing skies And battle down the Beasts that fly like bats, Polluting air and earth alike with stench Of blood and death to force their will on all Who hold stout Freedom's banner still on high." Then clearly answered Arthur from Comes a day when we must answer to the Legion of the Dead. Many questions will be asked us, many bitter words be said. Must we tell them that we faltered, that their labor was in vain, That we sold their Dream to Mammon in the frantic strife for gain? Richard C. Tiplady. THE PIONEERS They are dead who fought the forest in its early virgin pride, Fought the hopeless miles of muskeg, stemmed the snarling rivers' tide; MEN WITH GROWN WINGS.

Warnings Against Mailing Certain Parcels The Public are advised that eig- airette-lighter fluid must not be sent through the mails.
