SOCIAL NEWS '’'EVEN THIS SHALL PASS AWAY” Once in Persia reigned a king Who upon his signet ring Graved a maxim true and wise, Which if held before his eyes, Gave him counsel at a glance * Fit for every change and chance, Solemn words, and these are they: “Kven this shall pass away.” Trains of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarcand; Fleets of galleys through the seas Brought him pearls to match with these But he counted not his gain Treasures of the mine or main; “What is wealth?” the king would say: “Kven this shall pass away.” In the revels of his court, At the zenith of the sport, When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his jests, He, amid his figs and wine, Cried, ‘.‘o loving friends of mine! Pleasures come, but not to stay: ‘Kven this shall pass away.’ ” Fighting on a furious field, Once a javelin pierced his shield, Soldiers, with a loud lament, Bore him bleeding to his tent. 'Groaning from his tortured side, “Pain is hard to bear,” he cried, “But with patience, day by day, ‘Kven if this shall pass away.’ ” Towering in the public square, Twenty cubits in the air, Rose his statue, carved in stone. Then the king, disguised, unknown, Stood before his sculptured name, Musing meekly, “What is fame? Fame is but a slow r decay— ‘Even this shall pass away.’ ” Struck with palsy, sere and old, Waiting at the Gates of Gold, Said he with his dying breath, “Life is done, but what is death?” Then, in answer to the king, Kell a sunbeam on his ring, Showing by a heavenly ray: “Kven this shall pass away.” —Author Unknown. “Trip Around the World” a Pleasing Success The “Trio Around the World” which was planned and uniquely carried out by the Pyerian Club at the Armory, Friday afternoon and evening was a success from every standpoint, the display of talent and artistic taste of the members of the club being the subject of flattering eulogies from all who were fortunate enough to make the trip.
