Rebellion

By Katherine Nelson

High Judge, where is the sun that we seek-love?

We to whom priests gave sentencas in our youth

To mate with men who have no soul above Earth-grubbing; who, the bridal night, forsooth, Killed sparks that rise from instinct fires of life. And left us frozen things, alone to fashion Our souls to dust-masked'with the name of wifeLong years of youth-love years-the years of passion

Yawning before us. So shaming to the end

All shriveled by the side of him we wed, Hoping that peace may riper years attend.

Mere odalisques are w+-well housed, well fed.

Ah! Some of us unhoused, unclothed, unfed, Would liefer strike the gypsy trail, unwed, And love and live and sing beneath the sky' And sing and live and love, and loving-die.

THAT WAS THE ONLY KIND SHE'D MET

Man: "Do girls really like conceited men better than the other kind?"

Girl: "What other kind?"

A Thoroughbred

One day when Theodore Roosevelt was a boy his father said to him, "Theodore, do you know what a thoroughbred is? Well, I'll show you. See those two dogs? Well, this qns"-3nd he picked up a cur dog and shook him, and the cur whined and yelped-"is not a thoroughbred." Then he picked up a handsome young dog and gave him still rougher treatment. Not a sound came from the dog. "There," said the father, "is a thoroughbred. Be a thoroughbred, son, and whatever you do, don't squeal."

Two Dollars Well Spent

This $2.00 buys more than any $2.00 I spend during the whole year.

Truth

Back to the very first beginning---out to the undiscovered ends-there is nothing worth the wcar of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.

Steel

Only the steel of frost can make, The leaf forget its coloring

Of sober green, and bravely take The gold and crimson of the sPring. Only the steel of austere grief

Nail-like in hands and feet can bring The miracle of frost and leaf

That makes the anguished heart to sing.

-John Richard Moreland,

in Five.

Things That Mothers Know

The young wife was in tears when she opened the door for her husband in the evening.

"I've been insulted," she sobbed, "your rnother insulted me.t'

"How could she?" he queried, "when she's five hundred miles away?"

"Well, a letter came for you this morning from her, and I opened it."

"I see. But where does the insult come in?"

"At the bottom she had a postscript that read, 'Dear Daughter-in-Law: Please don't forget to hand Jim this lettert.tt
