There's a twang in the air, and the
sun shines fair,
But what will it bo tomorrow?
Thero's a soft breeze rare, so away with
care;
For trouble we should not borrow.
When the sun tolls out old Winter's
knell,
When the buds with joy begin to swell,
And life is life, and all is well,
We've never a time for sorrow.
There's a lilt in the breeze through the
waking trees,
But what will tomorrow bring us?
Therejs a gleam on the leas where the
song bird flees,
So list for the songs they sing us.
When the rivers wake from their ice
clad sleep,
When the springtime flowers begin to
peep,
And hope is hope, then let us keep
The joys the spring days fling us.
There's a blue in the sky as the sun
mounts high,
But what is tomorrow keeping?
Thero's a light for tho eye as the day
creeps by.
So what is the use of weeping?
When tho sun shines o'er the world
today,
When hope walks with us along tho
way, .
And joy is joy, let come what may,
Flowers will awake from sleeping.
There's a promise true in the sky's
- clear blue.
But what will it be tomorrow?
There is hope for you if your heart
beats true,
So trouble you should not borrow.
Whon tho sun shines warm and soft
wind blows,
When tho Frost King bows to fate and
goes,
And loo is love, and tho joy tide flows,
'Tis never a time for sorrow-

Just as Mr. Bildad had settled him
self in his easy chair and opened the
evening paper, Mrs. Bildad addressed
him in a petulant tone of voice:
"Mr. Bildad, I wish you would help

"Groat Scott, "woman!" ejaculated
Mr. Bildad. "Am I not to have a mo

of my office? Woman, what do you

went right on:
"When you got off the car you saun

and bought a half-dollar's worth of
cigars and chatted with the cigar deal

tho rooms and making the beds. Then
you went on to the office and "
"Yes, went to the office and slaved all
day!" shouted Mr. Bildad.
"You went to the office, opened a
dozen letters, dictated replies, finished
up the morning paper, smoked three
cigars and went to the club for lunch
whilo I was cleaning out the closets
and washing the windows. After lunch
you spent two hours playing billiards
in the club rooms while I scrubbed the
hall and bath room floors and took
down tho curtains up stairs. After you
had finished your billiards you went
back to tho office and dictated a dozen
more letters and then called up three

"Yes, 5 o'clock when I was utterly

began Mr. Bildad. But Mrs. Bildad
paid no attention and went right on:
"About 5 o'clock you started home,

me to wash the supper dishes, mend

bread, and get things in shape to make
good time with my house cleaning to
morrow. Mr. Bildad, I want you to

"Where's that tack puller, Mrs. Bil
dad?" shouted Mr. Bildad, throwing the
evening newspaper into the corner a
hopeless wad of wood pulp. "Give me
that tack puller. Tired as I am I
would rather pull tacks than listen to
your constant harangues."
A minute later Mr. Bildad was puli
