Ballade of a Name.
How many maids the bards have sung
Since Time began his tyranny,
Since the immortal Homer’s tongue
Praised one of high degree!
Ah, fair indeed, ’tis said, was she
Who caused the towers of Troy to
fall!
But close I hold in secrecy
The name I love the best of all.
How far .the winds of fame have flung
The damosels of history!
Oh, what a wonder to be young,
And likewise queens of beauty be!
Proud princeses of land and sea.
How many hearts leaped at their call!
But close I hold in secrecy
The name I love the best of all. >
Search as you will maiids’ names
among,
Ponder upon them marvellingly,
Yet from my lips shall not be wrung
Hers which to me is melody;
’Tis for her ear, my thoughts decree,
When tight my arms clasp her in
thrall
That I hold close in secrecy
The name I love the best of all.
Envoy
Come, sweet; the hours are fleet to '
flee • ,
(No seer can tell what may befall)
That I may whisper unto thee
Your name which I love best of all!
—Clinton Scolard.
The Original Thanksgiving Proclama
tion,
(As Miles Standish Probably
Framed It.)
Whereas—We hardy adventurers,
known to posterity as the “Pilgrim
Fathers,” having fled from the tyran
ny of monarchic despotism, have jour
neyed across the high seats to Amer
ica, and have found that said land is
—up to this point—free from the
baneful influence of presidential-elec
tion campaigns; of baseball scandal;
of Sinn Fein propagandists; of Pro
hibition and Prohibition jokes; of
Ford cars and Ford jokes of effi
ciency experts; of delicate diplomat
ic difficulties with Mexico; of the
movies; of get-/ich-quick oil promo-
ton schemes; of I. W. W. agitators
and the strikes that follow in their
wake; of “drives”; or jazz bands; of
memory courses, and of Josephus
Daniels— *
Therefore—Do I hereby proclaim
that next Thursday shall be set aside
as a day of solemn thanksgiving.
And do I urge that all the good
people of Plymouth try to make the
most of this occasion, while they still
have something to give thanks about.

(A Dilettante Mood)
Bare, stained floor
With a dab or two of rug—
Oriental rug preferably,
Of one predominant color;
A black-mawed feudal fireplace
(If possible);
Brass and copper gleaming;
A Russian samovar;
Straight window-hangings,
Color virago;
A yellow bowl
(Or blue or green);
Pillows,
Like upset buckets of paint
Splashed carelessly together.
In the middle
A sinuous girl-thing,
Like a painted
Egyptian idol
Waiting to be worshiped.

“What is considered a good score
on these links?”
“Well, sir,” replied the youthful
caddie solemnly, “most of the gents
tries to do it in as few strokes as
they can, but it gin’r’lly takes some
more.”—Windsor (London).

Breaking Into Print.
“So you got your poem printed?”
“Yes,” replied the author. “I sent
the first stanza to the editor of the
• correspondence column with the in
quiry, Can any one give me the rest
of this poem?' Then I sent in the
complete poem over another name!”
—Christian Register.
Normal?
The amount of drunkenness in New
York is now three times as large as
it was during the period which imme
diately followed July 1, 1919, >yhen the
dry law first went into effect. In
fact, the average number of cases now
is almost as high as it was in the
pre-prohibition days.
Which goes to prove that the Amer
ican people can rally even after the
greatest upheavals, and waste no
time in getting back to normal.
