No Hurry for Him A Scottish minister walked through ‘I. street in the village one misty even- ng, when he fell into a deep hole. l‘here was no ladder by which he could nake his escape and he began to shout for help.

These are scholastic gems, gleaned from the last mid-year tests at Welles- ley College: “Although Shakespeare wrote a great many sonnets, a few of them are beautiful." “In King David’s time they strung people up by the lamp-post." The Writer thinks the Poet sings, The Craftsman follows wondrous things, The Doctor heals, the Lawyer pleads, The Miner follows the precious leads, But this or that, whate’er befall. The Farmer, Must feed them all. The Farmer’s trade is one of worth, His pasture with the sky and earth, His pasture with‘ the sun and rain, And no man loses for his gain. And men may rise and men may fall, {But the Farmer he must feed them all. “Wordsworth’s poetry is too full of thought to be natural. His descriptions of sunsets are natural, but rural." “Milton believed that every one was horn under a siren." “The presnt educational system in- hibits the attainment of the full flares. cence of our poténtialities." The THE FARMER The King may rule o’er land and sea, The Lord may live right royally, The Soldier ridge in pomp and‘pride, The Sailor roam o’er the ocean wide; But this or that, whate’er‘befall, “A deacon is the lowest form of a Christian.” ' “Pompeii was an ancient city des- troyed by an eruption of saliva from the Vatican,” God bless the man who sows the wheat Who finds us milk and fruit, and meat.

But the littlest, dirtiest, meanest of all Is the two legged hog o’ tlie road! We writer-chaps, have magic type writers. I have dropped you in a hurtling motor car, along side of a fool driver. Save yourself if you can. “Cattle are bought and sold at the Stock Exchange.” The streaming glare of the lamps beforewyouflight the steepest of down grades, stony, uneven, rutfilled. This fool at your side ignores his brakes and is running free. Great Codfish ! He is going to take that incline wide open. It is madness! Simultaneously you are conscious ofa jar and a leap, of striking something, of surâ€" mounting it, and plunging onward. For what seems secondsâ€"endless secondsâ€" the car is in the air, and then the road rises in its might to smite you. There is a detonation, a crack, a bang, horribleâ€"deafening. 'Ihen everything goes black.

And it is more than probable that. you have encount- ered just such an accident as set forth above. Or, if you haven't you have pictured it just this way. Do we all know the driving fool ?

It could be memoriz- ed by preachers all over the country and would go something- like this: Organ Prelude: “Keep lights burning.” Announcement of Text are the pace-makers, for disinhabit the earth.” Offertory Hymn: “There’s a little spark of gas still burning.” Sermon: “Consider the joy-riders; they toil not but they certainly do they spin Organ Farmer, he must feed them all. Postlude ssmg‘ “Blessed they shall your tail» on his Grade Crossing.” Nothing will make the driving fool a more sincere convert to the Golden Rule than the exhibition of uniform courtesy on the part of his brother motorist. This more than anything else will reduce automobile slaughter to a miniumum. Let’s try it anyhow. It costs noth- ing. Have You Got Your Driver’s Permit Yet ?
