SCCIETY
OLD TIMERS ;
Where have the old stock phrases
gone,
The sood old phrase of yester-years?
I read the papers off and on
But not a s'ilgn of them appears.
“Where’s “Tripped the liggt, fantas
tic toe” 4
And.“Vgee sma’ hours,” where did it
And q;‘o'l‘able groaned”— it’s been an
a
Since Tehave seen that on a page;
' Or good old “Bountiful repast”
I don’t know when I saw that last,
Where’s “A packed house” with that
elect
old audience “Large and select?”
The papers used to lay the blame
When fires occurred to “Lurid
flame.”
“Dull, sickening thud” deseribed
man's fall;
And, say, I miss that most of all.
And when they laid him on a bier
“His many friends were “Pained to
hear.” |
The girl with “Alabaster brow” |
And “Swan-like throat,” where is
she now?
And what’s become of ‘“Wealth of
' flowers”
That used to deck the “Nuptial bow
ers?”
I sort o’ miss the old stock phrase
s They used in “Good old Haleyon
days.”

A TRIBUTE TO ‘
FARM MOTHERS
That eloquent Georgian, the late
Senator Thomas E. Watson, said on
one occasion:
“There are thousands of devoted
and absolutely admirable wives and
mothers in our cities, in our towns,
and in our villages and it gives me
pleasure and pride to testify to the
fact; but if you ask me to carry you
to the home of the true wife and
the true mother, one who loses her
self entirely in the existence of her
husband and her children, one who
is the first to rise in the morning
and the last to retire at night, one
who is always at her post of duty
and who carries upon her shoulders
the burdens of both husband and
children, one who is keeper of the
household and its good angel, utter
ly unselfish, happy in makinz others
happy, with no thought of fashion
able pleasures, perfectly content in
quiet home life in which she does no
body harm and everybody good, tak
ing as many thorns as she can from
the pathway of her husband and
strewing it with as many roses as
