who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those
who care;
I would be strong, for there is much

I would be brave, for there is much

the friendless;
I would be giving and forget the

weakness;
I would look up—and laugh—and
love—and lift.

MIDNIGHT OIL.
The midnight oil of days gone by
Was used by men in college
In poring over volumes dry
Assimilating knowledge
But midnight oil has changed its mode
Of making students pallid;
Tis used in burning up a road
Or mixing up a salad.

TO THE OLD SETTLERS.

Settlers—
surrounding
Commingling emotions
as one contemplates
warriors of the time
- when Waco was but a. settlement and
Texas was “away out West.” There
is a feeling of sadness as we see
their ranks thinning with the passage
of the years, and an ebullient spirit
of pride when one meets and mingles
with the ones still here.
In the days when the Indian and
the buffalo had undisputed possession
of Texas’ broad plains, these men
came as the vanguard of a slowly ad-
vancing civilization. Of a sturdy line
of forefathers, they were inured to
lives of hardship, and with character-
istic stoicism and determination of
purpose, began the settlement of
what is today one of the richest agri-
cultural sections of the United States.
Schools and churches followed in
their natural order, and the monu-
ments that have been builded speak
eloquently for what was accomplished
in this respect.
Governed by the laws of right and
justice, overcoming obstacles that
tried their limited resources, they
fought on, undaunted, to a realization
of ideals that have made Texas the
pride of all so fortunate as to live
within her boundaries.
Well may the members of this
diminishing' army of gallant soldiers
experience a glow of satisfaction in
looking back over the years of hard-
ship and strife. Well may the Cotton
