A WAYSIDE GARDEN
By Arthur Wallace Peach
To hedge our lives with beauty—that
is all
A garden seeks; to offer shelter fair
Within, where aisles hold captive in
sweet thrall
The peace of quiet ways and vesper
prayer.
Afar the homeless winds may roam,
the sands
In unrest old forever change; within
the rose
Shall bloom, and buds unfold their
little hands
To bless the springtime. Where the
traveler goes
Beyond the gate, the scented airs shall
rouse
His weary soul, and dreams shall
come again
Of some fair city or of fields where
browse
The herds, or of some sky-thrown,
mountain glen;
So shall the garden serve whose days
may be
A little rhyme that runneth tenderly!
Dolly—How did that young mining
engineer act last night?
Polly—Terribly stupid. During the
entire evening he spoke of how he
works for hours in the dark, and never
even attempted one demonstration!—
Pennsylvania Punch Bowl.
Some think that the summer is lovely,
When flowers bloom in the yards;
While spring has often been sung of
By Whittier and other bards;
Autumn is always lovely,
Even in foreign climes;
But what I want to say is,
Hurrah for the winter time!
The snow falls fast and faster,
Making the ground so white;
The trees are covered with icicles,—
Oh, what a pretty sight!
Ice covers the lakes and oecans,
And the sleigh-bell merrily chimes;
Though the summer may be lovely,
Sing ho! for the winter time!
LET “PAT DO IT”
510 Courtland St.
When Percival and Juliett were en
gaged he sent her roses Mondays and
Thursdays, candy on Tuesdays and
Fridays, took her to the theater
Wednesdays and Saturdays, and on a
long automobile trip on .Sundays.
She reproved him gently, for she
thought they should save money for
their home. He promised to do better,
but the next week it was always the
same.
Juliett bore up wonderfully with his
dereliction. She had married friends,
and she knew how long it would last.
See the Gentleman.
What is the Gentleman doing?
He is drinking.
Why is he drinking?
Because he has been told that he
may not.
Will he ever stop Drinking?
Yes. He will.
When?
When he is told that he may Drink.
THE BENT TWIG
He Emersonized his morning through,
He Poed his midday lunch,
He Kiplinged through his beans and
bread,
And Holmsed with every munch.
He Hawthomed on his way to class;
At dinner time the blighter
Will Shakespeared o’er his scalloped
steak—
He dreamed he was a writer.
He Ruskined through his twilight
time,
He Homered up to bed;
But now—alas! he’s raising sheep
At twenty bucks a head!
—Illinois Siren.
THE OLD ONE-TWO
Publicity Agent (compiling views
of well-known boxer): What do you
think of Lloyd George ?
Well-known Boxer: Yer can tell the
public I hates the sight of him, and
I’m proud to say I’ve never seen him.
—London Mail.
UTILITY
jinks: What did Marjorie do with
that shiftless cave-man she was en
gaged to?
Binks: Jilted him, I believe, on the
ground that a chap like that ought to
be useful as well as elemental.
“Howdy, Mr. Stone; how's Mrs.
Stone and all the little pebbles?”
“Why, they are just fine, thanks,
Mr. Wood; and how's Mrs. Wood and
all the little splinters?”
Elizabeth—Why did you choose golf
as your outdoor activity?
Betty—Silly! Because breeches
are so much more becoming than
bloomers.—Grinnell Malteaser.
“Folks all well this morning,
Johnny?” asked a friend of the fam
ily.
“Yes’m.”
“Glad to hear it. The last time I
heard from them your father was suf
fering from rheumatic gout and poor
mother had neuralgia.”
“Oh, yes, they’ve still got ’em. I
thought you meant was any of us
sick.”—Boston Transcript.
SCRIPTURAL SIDESTEPPING
Mary—I wonder why Joshua never
repeated his experiment of making the
sun stand still.
Cary—Politics, I suppose; the
farmers are so down on daylight sav
ing.
