Disappointment.
A very small, dirty boy stood near
the show case in the drug store. It
-was a drug store not too haughty to
hare a cindy counter near the door.
On the show case at the very edge lay a
small whitish irregular ciystal. The
boy knew it was rock-candy. He had
seen somejike it in one of the "grea
big pails" in which the fruit-stand man
kept hii sweets. And had not the
fruit-stand man told Bill Grimes it was
rock-candy, when he and Bill torn by
the many possibilities in the nickel
Bill had found, inquired the names of
all the varities of candy in the fruit
stand man's stock.
Alas had not Bill purchased the rock
candy and (generous hero) "divvied
up?"
The drug-store-man was looking out
of the window. A little grimy hand
reached over the edge of the show case
and clutched the small crystal. Soon
after the drug store-man saw a very
small, very dirty boy with his bands
t trust deep in his pockets, go past the
window with ostensible indifference.
The drug store man could not see into
the pocket, so be did not know that the
sweaty little palm was folded tightly
about the hard, whitish, cryataline
temptation. Neither did he see the
boy sneak into the first alley, and thrust
the soiled lump into his mouth. This
was well. For the drug store-man was
kind kearted and bad boys of bis own.
And the small, whitish, irregular crys
tal was a bit of alum.
Nostalgia .
The New Boy sat with his brown
head down on his folded arms. The
teacher pretended not to look and made
the leeson "interesting." The weeping
was quiet, oh very quiet. The big sailor
collar of the new brown Buit moved
convulsively now and then. That was
all. The yellow autumn sunshine
streamed through the room, and laid its
tender touch on the bowed bead. The
clear, confident voice of the Beet Read
er in school, shrilly sweet, was alone in
the silence, except for ths slow tick of
the clock. And he said:
-fSweet Mother from East to West
The loveliest home and the dearest and best
Is the old brown house"
A loud sob interrupted. Forty pairs
of eyes turned toward the New Boy.
The deep &obs continued.
The teacher came and put her hand
on his head.
"Are you sick, Chester?"
"Y-y-Yeem."
"Where is the pain, dear?"
He put his hand to the base of his
throat, the spot where sorrows meet.
"It's all swelled up," he lamented.
The teacher examined the place care
fully. "There certainly is a big lump there.
I think you would better go home and
drink some hot milk. Don't you?"
The October sunshine paled before
the brightness of his countenance.
He walked out with a quick, brisk
Btep, tho' tear courses still shone wet on
hiB round red little cheeks.
"I hope you'll be well enough to come
back tomorrow and stay all day," called
the teacher encouragingly.
And he was.
Heaven and Earth.
The magazine page blurred and faded.
The next thing I knew I was standing
in line at the Gate of Heaven. That
wa, I dar.Q8ay;becauw,I.hadrbae(nread
ing Henry James concerning "The
Great Good Place," aod went off on the
Poppy Land Limited before I got far
enough to learn that it was not heaven
after all, of which he so eloquently
wrote. We stood in. line as we stand
when Grand Opera is two days away
and everybody is going. I feared I had
not altogether put off the flesh, for I
had a bitter thought concerning the
tall university student third from the
gate. I felt convinced that he would
reserve half a hundred of the best
places. A little gray shade in front of
me, quite bridled, when the student
presumed to wrangle with Peter.
"He's trying to get his whole Frat
in," she breathed.
Sunset and Evening Star .
It is good to stand at the end of the
day and find Beauty. My window looks
into the west. If I look down, there is
much that is beautiful. But when I look
over, now and than I am vouchsifed a
glimpse of glory .Last night, for him who
saw, there in the west a long lake of fire,
with amethyst shores and far peaceful
mountains. Above their ragged sum
mits a rosy sky that paled and paled to
faintest blue,. within whose place one
quivering white star hung. On such a
tideless sea swung out the slow barge
which bore King Arthur to the realms
of rest, far, and far, until only drifting
clouds were left to the vision of him
who watched where the "long ripple
washed in the reeds by the shore."
The Pioneers.
There was no sound save-the low lisp
of the wave to the shore. A silver moon
riding a wisp of cloud in the clear sky,
flung a band, broad and glistening,
across the river. On the further side,
of the slow flxd, a forest frowned down
to the brink. On either side as far as
the sky was the plain, sprinkled with
scattering lights On the plain too,
close to the graday shore, was a little
sod house. How cheerfully its light
shone from the small window. At the
door a man and woman stood hand in
hand. They saw the high Bailing moon,
the broad welcoming prairie. They
heard the waters Binging to the shore,
and a sudden, strong breeze moving the
long grasses, as a mighty purpose stirs
the heart.
Remodeling the Universe.
Now, as when Moses drove his flocks
eat into the wilderness, there is a great
deal of beating about the bush, wi'h
the same tardiness in recognizing that
the bush is burning and it is time to
put off the shoes from the idle feet.
There is so much talk by Harry Thurs
ton Peck and others somewhat like hinu
Only somewhat, for II. T. Peck is a
separate creation, and there 16 no other
perfect, co, not one. There is much
idle talk by these, and it is about wom
en. One is not surprised when women
talk about men. For how many ages
have they been limited to one subject
Man and How to Please Him!
It is not. strange.- that a Bet habit
should assert itself even in the day of
broken shackles. But that man and
such a man, should condescend to a
dissertation upon woman! Upon the
appropriate place in the universe, of a
creature he cannot deem nf any con
siderable importance to the success of
the Bcheme. This surprises us!
So steeped in ancestral blindness is
this "piece of work," called Harry
Thurston etcetera, that he forget or
ignore the fact that history- cannot
repeat itself, and pines for the return
of the woman of the period of the ruff
and busk. Alas! Woman cannot re
vert an' she would. The process of
evolution turned ineiile out atd work
ing backward is very prettj on paper,
but it can never be objectively a verity.
Only in the subjective, friend Peck,
and not in the muds of many. To such
as you, in mountain solitude of soul 'tis
left to fancy.
