Ingersoll on

(Robert Ingersoll's thoughts over the grave of Napoleon have been quoted innumerable times, and are admittedly among the all-time classics in the English language. And little has been said of his tribute to Robert Burns, which probably exceeds the Napoleon tribute in strength, beauty of thought and expression, and wonderful eloluence. Here it is.)

"I visited them all, all the places made immortal by his genius, the field where love first touched his heart, the field where he ploughed up the Home of the Mouse. I saw'the cottage where Robert and Jean first lived as man and wife, and walked on 'the banks and braes of Bonnie Doon'. And when I stood by his grave, I said: This man was a real, genuine man. This man believed in the dignity of labor, in the nobility of the useful. This man believed in human love, in making a heaven here, in judging men by their deeds instead ofby creed6 and titles. This man believed in libertyoftfie soul, of thought and speech. This man believed in the sacred rights of the individual; he sympathized with the'suffering and oppressed. This man had the genius to change suffering and to l into a song' to enrich poverty, to make a peasant feel like a prince of the blood' to fill the lives of the lowly with love and light. This man

True Intelligence

True intelligence is a superior sort of awareness by which one is able to react fully, freely and completely to all forms of stimuli. It irnplies the will to know and a desire to initiate any means toward that end. It is superior to all book larowledge or college education, for by original methods of research and inquiry it gives the world new knowledge. It is the worlds greatest single asset, as ignorance is its greatest liability. The world puts a big premium on gengine intelligence.

Robert Burns

had the genius to make robes of glory out of squalid ragsThis man had the genius to make Cleopatras, and Sapphos' and Helens out of the freckled girls of the villages and fields -and he had the genius to make AuId Ayr, and Bonnie Doon, and Sweet Afton and the Winding Nith, murmur the name of Robert Burns forever. This man left a legacy of glory to Scotland and the whole world; he enriched our language, and, with a generous hand, scattered the gems of thought. This man was the companion of poverty, and wept the tears of grief, yet he has caused millions to shed the happy tears of joy. His heart blossomed in a thousand songs-+ongs for all times and all seasons-suited to every experience of the heart-songs for the dawn of love-for the glance and clasp and kiss of courtship-for 'favors secret, sweet and precious'-for the glow and fame-the ecstacy and rapture of married life-songs of parting and despair-songs of hope and simple joy-songs for the vanished day-songs for birth and burial-songs for wild war's deadly blast-songs for gentle peace-songs for labor and content-songs for the spinning wheel, the sickle and the plow-songs for sunshine and for storm, for laughter and for tears-songs that will be sung as long as language lives and passion sways the heart of man."

The Dogs Still Wait

My grandpa notes the world's worn cogs' And says we're going to the dogsHis granddad in his house of logs Swore things werq going to the dogs. His dad among the Flemish fogs Vowed itrings were going to the dogs. The cave man in his queer skin togs Said things were going to the dogs. But this is what I wish to stateThe dogs have had an awful wait.
