NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE REALM A LITTLE GOOD-BY TO HIS SWEETHEART A little good-by to his sweetheart, A kiss on his mother’s lips— A tear and a fond caressing, And away to the war he trips; Good-by to the National Guardsman, And a brave heart his, the while— A little good-by to his sweetheart, A wave of his hand, and a smile! Ah, the sorrowfnl waiting of women, And the watching and praying again, And the wonder of war’s red revel, And the coming and going of men! A sword and a gun and a blanket, A heart for the word of the fray— A little good-by to his sweetheart, And a soldier is going away! Today in the shadow of beauty, Tomorrow the thunder of strife— A soldier’s good-by to his wife: The khaki’s so bonny he’s wearing And he’ll soon be in camp with the rest— A little good-by to his sweetheart, And a dream of her down in his breast! Little homes in the city and country, So altered and quiet and queer, Since he answered the call of his coun try, The son and the husband so dear; The trumpets are blowing, A little good-by to his sweetheart, And a kiss to his mother, with love! —The Bentztown Bard. The Standing Army Of The Soul “Genius is talent set on fire by the courage. Fidelity is simply daring to be true in small things as well as great. As many as are tne conflicts and perils and hardships of life, so many are the uses and forms of courage, It is necessary, indeed, as the protec- Jtor and defender of all the other virtues. Courage is the standing army of the soul which keeps it from conquest, pillage, and sla very.” —Henry Van Dyke. D. A. R.
