He grieved because he could not rest,
His job became a toilsome grind;
Hope flickered feebly in his breast,
Brave thoughts were seldom in his
mind;
He often wished when wild winds blew
That he might linger late in bed;
His work was hard, his joys were few,
He saw no chance to get ahead.
One morning when the clouds were
gray
He did not rise, to eat and run,
And at the end of that long day
He wondered how his tasks were
done.
The nurse who came was young and
sweet,
Her touch was soft, her step was
light,
He should have thought it was a treat
To have her near him day and night.
But what cared he for loveliness ?
Her beauty charmed him not at all;
He did not have to rise and dress
And rush away at duty’s call;
The rest that he had been denied
Was claimed in full, but he alas,
Was far from being satisfied;
He thought the doctor was an ass.
At last he rose, with sunken cheeks
And ragged whiskers on his face,
To find that through the cheerless
weeks
Another man had filled his place;
The world had whirled along without
A serious breakdown anywhere;
No dreadful change had come about
While he was in the nurse’s care.
He hurried back to work once more,
Glad that there still was work to do;
The tasks that had been hard before
Seemed easy for a week or two,
And then, with envy in his breast,
He thought of those who went away
In search of pleasure and of rest
While he ground on, day after day.

Prohibition Fight Begins
in England.
. Lady Astor, the American
girl in parliament, has decided
to make herself the mother of a
prohibition campaign in Eng-
land. That shows courage, in a
land where the words “beer” and
“life” mean about the same to a
majority of the people.
Lady Astor starts her cam-
paign intelligently with the rea-
sonable suggestion that no alco-
holic drink be sold to boys or
girls under 18. It is hard to ob-
ject to that, and her bill passed
second Reading by 338 to 56.
However, the bill won’t become
law for the present. English-
men, not as easily managed as
Americans, not as “docile,” as
Northcliffe puts it, feel that
they have trouble enough paying
their taxes, without drinking
pure water.

After the Stuff,
I often think of Bildad Jones,
who lives three doors southwest;
in his pursuit of bucks and bones
he never takes a rest; his kopeck
box with treasure groans, so
eager is his quest. This Bildad
Jones is waxing old, a hoary
wight is he, and soon we’ll plant
him in the mold, beneath a
greenwood tree; and all his life
he’s gathered gold, which seems
a sin to me. This guy has cinch-
ed, by hook or crook, a vast sup-
ply of cash, but never read a
soulful boo k—he thinks all
novels trash; he never hired a
skillful cook, but lived on corn
beef hash. He never knew the
keen delight that comes from
money spent; he never chased
through town by night on spend-
ithrift errands bent; he never
bought all junk in sight that
was not worth a cent. The help-
ing hand to luckless guys he’s
never known to show; he never
carried wholesome pies to
widows in their woe; and when
he hears the orphans’ cries no
tears of pity flow. To make his
bulging wad increase we see him
toil and pant; he’d make that
bundle, piece by piece, the larg-
est one extant, as I have said to
Jane, my niece ,and Susan H.,
my aunt. I see him on his er-
rands drift, on bent and shaky
knees; he’s old and frail but he
can lift a package of bawbees;
and there is something wrong
with thrift when it is a disease.
Progressive Grief.
Long years ago I drove a bus
composed of rusty tin; in motion
it kicked up a fuss that made
bystanders grin. The coaches
of the idle rich whizzed by me
every day, and pushed my tum-
bril in the ditch, and hogged the
public way. “Now, by St.
Bride,” I used to think, “some
day I hope to own a limousine
all painted pink and gold and
brindled roan. • Ah, then exist-
ence will be sweet, all wool and
three feet wide, when I go roll-
ing down the street in princely
state and pride.” I have my
limousine at last, it is a gorgeous
boat, and it can skip along so
fast it gets the speed cop’s goat.
But grief’s the end and lot of
man, the sum of his desires;
and full contentment never ran
upon four rubber tires. I wor-
ry so about my wain it cuts out
all the fun; I fear to leave it in
the rain, or park it in the sun.
I dream of schoolboys throwing
bricks and missile queer and
quaint, and I collide with reck-
less hicks who scar my priceless
paint. When other men,
throughout the land, are dream-
ing dreams of peace, I take my
lanthorn in my hand, and hunt
for spot of grease. And often
when my spirits stack some cu-
bits under par, I wish I had my
Lizzie back, my old unpainted
car.
March Winds.
The winds of March are raw
and bleak, as they go whizzing
by, they rudely biff me, nose and
cheek, and smite me, hip and
thigh; but in my heart there is
no pique, no tear is in my eye.
“Blow on, ye dippy blasts, blow
on,” exultantly I say; “from cur-
few till the break of dawn blow
on and earn your pay; like evil
dreams you’ll soon be gone—
comes April, and then May. We
would not fully realize how love-
ly is the spring, with babbling
rills and azure skies and guinea
hens that sing, if you should fail
to put us wise, by having thus
your fling. Blow loud, ye nutty
winds, blow, for the love of Mike,
and strip the whiskers from the
crowd that toils along the pike;
there comes the month that is
endowed with weather that we
like. And when beneath an elm
or larch, some vernal day, we
snore, while colts and lambkins,
full of starch, play on the brook-
let’s shore, we will recall the
winds of March, and love spring
all the more. Blow on, blow on,
oh, dotty breeze, blow all things
galley west! Make all the blood
within us freeze, and spoil life’s
joy and zest, for after wooly
days like these, spring will seem
doubly blest.”
