Angel spirits of sleep,
Angel bringers of dreams;
Out of the dark and the deep
Their beauty like moonrise gleams;

Angel spirits of love.

Angels walk in the moonlight
From bournes of mysteries,
Across the fields in flower,
L
Beneath the glimmering trees,
Coming with healing power;
e President,
With voices of sweetest strain,
Like bird-songs in the rain.
Angels walk in the moonlight,
Tender, compassionate, wise;
Love is the song that they sing
Under night's violet skies;
Rest is the gift that they bring,
And reconcilement serene
For joy that might have been.
Angels walk in the moonlight,
Closing the eyes that weep;
They soothe the brow of care
And calm the pulse's leap;
Hushing the heart's despair,
They sing to the thwarted will,
"Peace, be still, be still.".

The Lucky Shut-In
A Job To Do
The shut-ins are the lucky folks,
When a brain is lying idle,
With nothing much to do
Or a hand is unemployed;
Except to make the well folks laugh
When there's talent unawakened,
When they are feeling blue.
And a mind that is annoyed;
There's a sentence very simple,
They've naught to do but lie around
Full of smile instead of sob,
In bed or chair or cot,
And I've often thrilled to hear it,
And tho they may have lots of pain
Just these words, "I've got a job."
ewr
They gripe about it not.
I have seen the light of triumph
The world needs both the strong and
Flood an honest, troubled face
weak
Into face of hope and courage;
To carry out it's PLAN,
And I've seen both youth and grace
And all will work out for the best
Jump into a jaded body
If each does what he can.
When a heart was sad and blue
Just because of simply knowing
So brighten up the corner where
There was still a job to do.
Your smiling face may show,
Then others will transport the cheer
There's a job for everybody,
Wherever they may go.
For the feeble, for the strong.
Every living person's needed
For shut-ins are the lucky folks
To help move the world along.
With nothing much to do,
Let us seek to find the service
Except to cheer the well folks up
That is here for me, for you--
When they are feeling blue.
Somewhere in this scheme of living
JAMES E. QUICK
We shall find a job to do.
JAMES E. QUICK
The man who is possessed of this excellent
frame of mind (cheerfulness) is not only
This world is not so bad a world
easy in his thoughts, but a perfect master of
As some would like to make it;
all the powers and faculties of his soul.
But whether good or whether bad

Depends on how you take it.

Etiquette
For Me, Your Mother
These here new and fancy dishes
I know that you will be
That they teach our girls to make
A noble boy for me;
In home economic classes
And speak the truth each day
Always give me stomach-ache.
In all you do and say.
They can take a leaf of lettuce,
Stick it in a hunk of dough,
And when your hope is past
And they call that dandy eating,
Let faith bring strength to last;
But I claim they just don't know.
New hope that never dies,
ewr
Now I may be plumb old-fashioned,
But seeks an unseen prize.
But I claim there's nothing born
That can make you glad you're living
"Tis being, not seeming,
On a cold and frosty morn;
And doing, not dreaming
There's no food more filled with power
That brings the true reknown,
To provide a snap and hop,
And earns the victor's crown.
Than those piping hot wheat biscuits
And molasses there to sop!
Our hands will soon be numb,
Our lips will soon be dumb,
Boy! That's when I lose my manners
For time flies on its way,
I just pour it in the plate,
And life's too short to stray.
And I grab a fluffy biscuit,
Be brave when tests you meet,
And the chase is simply great.
Take them to Jesus' feet;
When I get a morsel cornered
He'll guide your way yet still,
And convey it to my mouth
And teach you His own will.
In the only way that's fittin'
To eat 'lasses in the South.
His will is taught with love
Let 'em print the rules for eating,
And wisdom from above-
And revise the recipe.
To love as Christ loves thee
None of fork and spooning business
Then Heav'n is yours to see.
Is quite good enough for me,

Happiness
Our Boy
It does not always take money
He's a mighty heap of trouble,
To bring one real happiness.
Is that boy that we adore;
The poor folks are the happiest
Always getting into mischief,
I've found, and I confess
Throwing things around the floor.
for
I ain't lookin' for no fortune
Gets his hands all black and greasy,
With its worries and its woes.
Always where he shouldn't be,
I just want that thrill of glory
But he's worth a million dollars
That the happy person knows.
To his Ma and me.
ewr
I've seen couples blessed with riches,
Our child has many tantrums,
Jewels, luxury, sedans;
In their hands seemingly holding
Frets and whines and cries a sight.
I have walked the floor for hours
Every least desire of man.
But their hearts were sore and worried,
When he couldn't sleep at night.
In their lives an unfilled gap,
But when across the room he toddles,
Tries to climb upon my knee,
For the wife would only mother
Then he's worth a million dollars
A toy puppy on her lap.
To his Ma and me.
I have seen a crude log cabin
With a cracked and sagging door,
He has broken grandma's glasses,
And a bunch of kids just fightin'
Torn the hands right off the clock,
Like th' dickens on the floor;
Swallowed safety pins and buttons,
And the wife was tired, but smiling,
Ate the toe right off my sock;
And the husband in good cheer
When we'd like to show his sweetness,
Could just whistle lusty challenge
Stubborn, cross and mean is he,
On the frosty-morning air.
But he's worth a million dollars
To his Ma and me.
So while I ain't cravin' riches,
I ain't prayin' to be poor.
Oftentimes when I am worried,
I'd just like a sort of blendin'
Tired out with cares of day,
Of the two about my door.
That is when he wants to frolic,
And of course there'd be a puppy
And I bid him go away.
Just a-rompin with th' boys.
When upon the floor he rattles
It takes quite a lot of plannin'
Pans, and gives a lusty shout,
To fill life with greatest joys.
That is when I stamp and holler,
JAMES E. QUICK
"Mother, take this youngun out!"

Spring Fever
What if those sweet lips were hushed,
And I never heard the laughter
I know that Spring is drawing near
Of my baby, as he rushed
When heavy flannel underwear
Toting kisses from his mother
Begins to feel an excess weight,
To the lips of his old Dad
And tickles SO I simply hate
Then I feel quite mean and little
For folks to see me scratching so.
For the selfishness I've had.
(I ain't got what they're thinking, tho!)
for
Down I throw the evening paper,
Rush to find my darling child,
I know that Spring is coming soon.
And I see he has forgotten--
Each night I gaze up at the moon
I can tell that by his smile---
And in his stead I see a girl,
The sweetest Miss in all the world.
ewr
Then I take him to my bosom,
Hold him tight as tight can be,
She puts my heart into a stir,
For he's worth a million dollars
And I sing sweet love songs to her!
To his Ma and me!
JAMES E. QUICK
Spring jumped right in the door it
seems,
Now Ain't It?
For I have started dreaming dreams
Of blondes, red-heads, and brunettes.
It's sort of nice to lie in bed
I never think of what regrets
And play like you are almost dead,
I'd have if dreams should come to life,
And have a nurse to rub your head,
And I should find I have a wife!
Now ain't it?
Your friends will come and fill the room
JAMES E. QUICK
With big bouquets of flowers bloom.
IN THE SPRING
It's just all color and perfume,
Now ain't it?
"In the spring a fuller crimson comes
You do not have one thing to do,
upon the Robin's breast;
And have no time for feeling blue.
In the spring the wanton Lapwing gets
That bed is just a throne for you,
himself another crest;
Now ain't it?
And tho I know you'd never tell,
"In the spring a livelier iris changes on
Quite all too soon you will be well.
the burnished dove;
Say being sick is mighty swell,
In the spring a young man's fancy
Now ain't it?
lightly turns to thoughts of love."

Livin'
Recipe
Ain't so healthy, strong and stout,
But I'm livin'.
What does it take to make real life?
Ain't got no legs to brag erbout,
The answer I don't know.
But I'm livin'.
I've heard it said it takes a wife,
There're many things I cannot do,
But I don't think that's so,
A lot of joys I never knew,
For I've seen men and women, too,
But I am glad, for why be blue,
Who'd married once or twice,
Ain't I livin'?
And judging by the things they do
r
Their lives are not SO nice.
Altho I'm sitting in a chair,
I'm still livin'.
I think it takes a little joy,
And all around me everywhere
And little bits of pain---
ewr
Folks are livin'.
A little sunshine to employ
So I just do my best to try
The use of drops of rain----
And cheer the throng that passes by,
A little worry here and there
For while I've got an "ear and eye"
I'm still livin'.
To keep our courage pure;
A little sorrow and a care
I never try to give advice
To teach us to endure.
While I'm livin',
But don't you think it would be nice
A little help that we may need,
While you're livin',
And someone near to lend it.
That when some tear-jerker drops in
A little cash untouched by greed,
And tons of sob-stuff tries to spin,
And know just where to spend it.
To kick such devils out ag'in,
A lot of kindness in each thought
And keep livin'?
For those with whom we travel
JAMES E. QUICK
This mixture rightly sifted ought
To help real life unravel!

Just dreaming all the while,
June! With it's golden moon
It will make you feel much better
And Roses.
If you don't forget to smile.
Brides! With their handsome grooms
And Posies.
A smile is always welcomed,
Lovers! In the bright moonlight,
And will win you many friends.
Rubbing Noses.
No matter what your burdens are,
Marriage! And the fights begin,

Keep smiling to the end.
Then Divorces!
June! And the honeymoon
We all must have our troubles,
And Kissing.

But the soldier brave and true
A week, then a meal undone,
Puts his cares all behind him,
Husband missing.
And always comes smiling thru.
Months, and the life humdrum
Progressing.
This world is big and beautiful,
A year, and the babies come,
With many things to see.
A Blessing!
God gave us many pretty things
To help us smiling be.
June with all romance gone,
But happy,
The grass may seem to greener grow
Nervous wife, tasks left undone,
Upon my neighbor's lawn,
Getting Scrappy.
But mine is just as beautiful,
Roses; Never notice them,
So I can smile at home.
Seem SO Frappy.

Life Needs The Puller
It Is Christmas
If I couldn't be a puller,
Then I'd never try to kick,
It is Christmas. Sweetly I hear
For the chronic old fault-finder
The sound of bells on morning air.
Has forever made me sick.
A message old they seek to bring
If I cannot be a builder,
With hope and cheer in every ring.
I don't want to help tear down
Is some great statesman passing by,
All the other fellow's efforts,
His presence metal tongues to cry?
And just scatter them around.
Ah no. It is the natal morn
Of Jesus, the first Christian born.
If I can't be a commender,
It is Christmas. And I have heard
I will surely just refrain
A thousand carols, and fluent word
My lips from spreading gossip
Of priest and lawyer eagerly
That may bring somebody pain.
Stand side by side in eulogy.
Every road has some mud-puddles
The rich man pauses for a day
ewr
Where the wheels of fortune stick,
And casts the thoughts of world away.
And life needs a mule that's pulling,
The poor in humble, sordid haunts
Not a mule to balk and kick.
Are joyous despite all their wants.
JAMES E. QUICK
It is Christmas. And a billion lights
Have cast their rays upon the night.
Our God
Around the gilded Christmas tree
The children gather merrily
O how precious is our God
To claim the wagons, dolls and carts
Who never will forsake us;
Which warm their young and childish
He my balm has always been,
hearts.
His healing robe is with me still.
Full baskets to the poor have gone,
Praise be to God, our Father.
And souls in thankfulness have shown.
Heavenly Peace in Him I know,
It is Christmas. And as I see
And the breezes bring me knowledge
The joy it brings SO fiittingly,
Of the Loving God I know.
I wonder why we soon forget
"My all I lay upon the altar",
The spirit of the day, and let
Just as Job did long ago.
Our lives drift back into the things
"Tho He slay me I will serve Him,"
That care, regret and sorrow brings.
Let me live and die in Christ.
It's Christmas. In the joy I own,
MILDRED BAKER, R. N.

Feeling Good Inside
Moments
I'm a sort of funny fellow
Moments of happiness come to us all-
As regards what's good, or bad,
Moments of sweetness, moments of gall.
And I have peculiar notions
Moments of laughter, moments of tears,
Of the things that make one glad.
Moments of courage, moments of fears;
If I've got a true religion
Moments of comforts, moments of pain,
That will prove its worth when tried
Moments of loss and moments of gain;
No one needs to ever ask me
Moments of freedom, moments of care,
When I'm feeling good inside.
Moments of hopelessness and despair.
I just like to be a fellow
Who can pass around good cheer,
Moments of hatred often will prove
lent, for
And help circulate some laughter
Moments preceding moments of love.
That will last all through the year.
Moments confusing, hard to abide,
I don't want one day of glory
Moments SO easy to fully decide.
Moments of anger, moments of fret,
With the balance dull and dried,
But I like to keep on smiling
Moments lived in remorse and regret;
ewr
'Cause I'm feeling good inside.
Moments of seconds, moments of hours,
Moments of weeds and moments of flowers.
When I find a special blossom
On my road of happiness,
Moments when friends are needed SO near-
I just seem to want to share it
Moments when solitude is ever SO dear.
With some friend that it might bless,
Moments when tongue revels in talk,
For the heart will be made bigger
Moments when voice continues to balk.
When you see a fellow's pride
Whatever my moments in living may be,
At the little things you offer
I want to give each the best that's in me,
When you're feeling good inside.
Trying each moment to worthily spend,
The God which I am serving
Not knowing what moment my moments
Doesn't want me sad and blue.
shall end.
I might scare someone from service
JAMES E. QUICK
Who could some great service do.
So I never try at preaching,

But I let the world decide

A Difference
Mother
I watched them in their courting days
As they would ride about.
She is love in its Divinity,
I well could see how close they sat,
Bravery at its bravest.
And how he'd help her out.
She is virtue in its purity,
I've seen them parked beside the lake
Beauty in its glory.
On nights when moon did shine,
She is faith at its strongest,
And never did those sweethearts fuss,
And tenderness at its sweetest.
Their love was too Divine.
She is the spirit of gladness,
ewr
I see them now in married life
The flower of compassion.
Pass this abode of mine;
She's a Gibraltar of guidance
The husband now sits up in front
And a lamb of devotion.
While wifey sits behind.
She is the acme of inspiration,
And I can hear his angry voice
And a haven of peace.
Ring out as past they roam,
She is influence for right,
"I surely could enjoy this ride
Protector against wrong.
If you had stayed at home!"
She is the giver of hope,
As I sit here and look on lives
And a shield from despair.
Of those who court and wed,
Her love is elastic,
I think I'll never wed at all,
Yet stronger than steel,
But court always instead.
For God made her
For sweetheart days SO full of bliss,
For a Mother!
And romance, and delight

She sleeps beneath the willows,

Rainy Day
Who was it started this thing we call

Of a springtime rainy day
You're right. It was a woman.
When the folks are lying sleeping,
Who was the cause of all turmoil and
And the hired man gone away.

You're right. It was a woman.
To the voices of the rain
She snatched us poor men from the

As it whispers little stories
gardens of peace,
Softly through the window pane.
She put us in work that never does
cease-
There's a notice from a neighbor
And now who laughs and does as she
That his grass is growing SO
pleases?
I should soon return his mower
You're right. It is a woman!
That was borrowed months ago.
There's a whisper from a distance
Who has a tongue nobody can still?
That it might seem justly right
You're right. It is a woman.
If I'd answer a friend's letter
Who makes demands that no man can
Ere is passed another night.

You're right. It is a woman.
Rainy days are much like troubles,
The more that you earn the more she
But like troubles they possess
can spend.
Powers that may seem oppressive,
She cries and she pouts; her wants have
But eventually they bless.
no end.
Happy hearts are always happy
Who will mistrust a very best friend.
Just because they have felt pain,
You're right. It is a woman!
And the brightest rays of sunlight
Who is it filled with pride and deceit?
Always come right after rain.
You're right. It is a woman.
So I like the peace and quietness
Who is good, bad and sour and sweet?
Of a springtime rainy day
You're right. It is a woman.
When a fellow can be lazy
She will prove true beyond any doubt,
And just dream the time away.
And she will prove false, all faithfulness
I want to sit right still and listen
flout-
To the voices of the rain
But who is it man just can't do without?
Telling of the warmth and beauty
You're right. It is a woman!
Soon the sun will bring again.

Tribute To W omen
hat A Man
I like to play ball with th' kids,
He ain't nothin' much to look at,
And go a-fishing, too.
And 'tis true he's never had
Indeed, I like most anything
The tailors out to hunt him
That other people do.
As a model for an ad.
I like the snows in winter-time,
Movie stars have never chased him
In summer to go swimmin',
As a prospect for the stage,
But if you ask what I like most,
But with women, pretty women,
I reckon it is women!
He is just a perfect rage.
It must be because he's modest,
The earth may have its lofty trees,
For he's never known to brag,
Its fragrant herbs and flowers;
And he'd rather sit and listen
Great buildings may point to the sky
Than to hear his own tongue wag.
A thousand windowed towers.
He just smiles and softly whispers,
The brooks may sparkle on their way,
With his lip in cynic curl,
And lakes with fish be brimmin',
That she is a perfect creature,
But I still think that nature's best
And the one and only girl.
Was all made into women.
He is never liked by menfolks,
Now I don't know just where I'll go
For he always beats their time,
When from this world I've fluttered.
And he they'd gladly murder
If it wasn't such a crime;
We shall be judged by what we've done,
By what we've thought and uttered.
But the ladies all protect him
But when I reach the Judgment Gate,
Anywhere that he may go.
The slim, the tall, the stout ones
My hopes will sure be dimmin'
Want him for a gigilo.
Unless the place where I am sent
Is full of pretty women!
He's a homely guy in winter,
JAMES E. QUICK
He's still uglier when it's hot,
But men would spend a fortune
To obtain just what he's got,
And I know the world will wonder
Wives and daughters all remind us
Who this super-man could be.
We must make our little pile;
I would never dare to tell you,
And, departing, leave behind us
But it sounds a lot like me!
Cash for them to live in style.

Keep Pulling
Just Me
When your travel on the highway
I'm just a crippled shut-in,
Has become almost a fear,
Can't even walk a step,
And you've stalled upon the hillside
But shucks! Why should I worry?
With your engine out o'gear,
I still have lots of pep.
Never let yourself roll backward
And consider life a flop;
I can visit many places,
If you only keep on pulling
For I go in thought, you see,
You are bound to reach the top.
I see the sights and wonders
That are very sweet to me.
It's sort o'hard to keep on smiling
When your going has bogged down,
I know I'll never walk again,
But you can find a helping lever
But 'tis no use to pout.
If you only search around.
I'll not complain about my lot,
It may take a lot of sweating
For no one likes a grouch.
Your true worth to ever prove,
Some people stop to ask me,
But if you only just keep pulling
"How can you wear a smile?"
Something sure is bound to move.
I tell them it is easy
When you're traveling all the while.
Life is not all made of winning,
For we often have to lose
If I should sit and worry
Ere we know the sense of value
Would I gain anything?
And the way 'tis best to choose.
You're mighty right, I wouldn't,
So there ain't no sense in kicking,
So why not sit and sing?
And no sense in playing dead,
For the fellow who keeps pulling
I like to meet strange people,
Is the guy that gets ahead.
And like to meet the friend
JAMES E. QUICK
Who talks about the outside world,
And not the poor shut-in.

To My Shut-In Friends
Christmas Thoughts
As you lie abed on pillows white,
You reign there like a king.
Ah, it's great to think of Christmas
Your nurses kind and so polite,
With its shouting and its noise;
Never let you want a thing.
With its colored lights and tinsel
And its gaily painted toys.
You know you are a lucky guy
Still I like to think of childhood,
Even tho you may be sick;
Since I've come to be a man,
You have someone to stand close by
Of when Ma did Christmas cooking
To do your bidding, quick.
And would let me lick the pan.
So just you stay right there and rest
Until you are well and strong.
All day long the fragrant odors
For each of you is needed here
Held us near the kitchen door,
To help this world along.
Where Ma stirred and poured the batter
For a dozen cakes or more.
LUCILLE BARNETTE
She was cooking for a house full,
And we young uns thought it grand
My Request
To be first there when she'd finish
And Ma'd let us lick the pan.
It's not a smoother path I ask
That I may walk with ease;
Sure we knew there'd be full plenty
Just give me strength to walk aright
Cake for all just laid away,
The path Thou givest me.
But it seemed a long time waiting
I ask not for more beauty, Lord,
For the coming Christmas day.
On which to feast my eye;
So we peered into the window,
Just give to me a vision clear
Watched each move of mother's hand
For the beauty that is nigh.
As she finished up each frosting
And would let us lick the pan.
I ask not fame nor riches, Lord;
Just teach me how to live
Yes, it's great to think of Christmas
In love and gratitude to Thee
With the cheer it always brings;
For the blessings Thou dost give.
With its many friendly wishes
Just give me courage, Lord, to smile
And the songs its coming brings.
When the sky above is gray,
But somehow I miss those hours
And grace to sing a little song
In my childhood Christmas plans
O'er the roughest of my way.
When Ma'd finish up the baking
MAYME SILVER
And would let us lick the pans.

Christmas day will bring its glory
Autumn Days
Of a table heaping high
With a load of garnished dishes
This is a beautiful day, sweetheart,
That will please the hungry eye,
When I should be happy and content.
But there's ever something missing
Everything speaks of Nature's glory,
That no thing has brought or can---
Summer's gone, autumn in its foliage.
"Tis for Ma to finish baking
And just let me lick the pan.
Silence is heavy. You love no more!
JAMES E. QUICK
Happy I cannot be when I adore
Your presence, your voice and your
Easter
touch.
I want them still as they used to be.
Today, Dear Lord, we humbly bow
Before Thy shrine of victory,
Often I feel that I should be glad
Our hearts exultant in Thy strength
To see you marching the other way,
To prove Thineself in bursting free
And things you swore when you were
The gates of death; and having won,
near
To guide the stumbling feet of men
Seem like a distant fairy story.
Forever on.
Today, Dear Lord; the gleaming sun
Time flies on. It cannot be long
That hid his face from Thy shame;
Before we are again together.
The sun that heard Thy mother's voice
Autumn days should be pleasant now,
When first she whispered Thy name;
And happiness could come again with
That sun is beaming forth again
you.
In all its flaming eagerness
I wish I could read your heart
To put new life in human things
When I find myself here weeping;
And give Thine earth an Easter dress.
But perhaps I would be sadder still
If in your heart my eyes could see.
How can there be a heavy heart
When every beauty Thou hast made
These were our days, sweetheart,
Beckons from each hill and dale
And memories are awakening---
From every lawn and field and glade.
I want you as you used to be.
The world may have its lusting tyrants
For you my heart is breaking!
Who glory in their venom's sting,
But why should men SO fearful be,

I Didn't Have Time

To smile on the folks that I met.

And it takes them anyplace they wish

And your hopes may to the lowest ebb

Who needed the help I could bring.

But just climb upon the carpet
Where lonesomeness had left its sting.
Where you're never charged a fare,
I didn't have time to visit the sick,
And be wafted to the land of let's pre-

And your friends all gladly greet you at

True love is but that priceless thing
When a day becomes SO dreary
That makes sing. us dance, and laugh, and
That the sun won't come up bright,
And your heart is full of troubles
Lifts high above the mundane sphere
That nothing will seem to right,
And builds a heaven for us there.

Love costs not ought of earthly wage.
That will fix you up in style---
It needs not mansion for a stage,
If you think of something funny,
But often thru the hedge-row darts
And smile.
With loads of cheeer for lonesome
There are days when all the neighbors

And you feel forgot and lonesome
Love brings the maiden into bloom;
With your worries and your pain,
Builds hut or castle into home.
But it braces up your courage,

And 'twill beat a frown a mile
Conceives and bears good deeds to birth.
If you think of something funny,
And smile.

The winds, the trees are thoughts of
You will find no good in whining,

For it scares your friends away,
Within the grass on which we trod
And your clouds of fretting anguish
There is God's love, and Love is God.
May for others mar the day,
So you'll get a heap of pleasure
Then let us love the while we live,
When you give yourself the trial
A love sincere that we may give
If you think of something funny,
A helping hand where'er we can
And smile!
To prove we love our fellowman.

I care fame, not for plaudit and laurels of
Little Things We Do
No power or throne I select.
This old world admires a winner,
I only desire an unspotted name,
And her tongues will ever praise
A man that men can respect.
Heroic deeds that mark her progress,
Perhaps it will be on life's lettered slate
Deeds that cast their shining rays
I may write some word to offend.
Upon some individuals,
Unwitting hate I may cause the furnace of
And sometimes we lose the view
That success is always measured
To flare in the heart of a friend.
By the little things we do.
But let me be honest and fair in each
quest,
There is room for fame and fortune
And truthful, and square, and direct;

Are best we can afford.

But when we build our health and mind,
Thru our length of living here;

And when evening shadows gather
We throw in bad and rotten spots

In voice of fury seems to say

"Twas made down in the creek.
"I'm herald for the coming spring.
And he has been a-seeing red
I kiss all nature into health,
For three days and a week.
And soon you'll hear the song birds sing,
"Tis fun to watch him run around
And view the fullness of Her wealth."
Just acting like a fool,
I raise my eyes to turquoise sky
Like when he sat astride the cow
Where clouds another picture blends.
And tried to milk the stool.

They sail before March's winds.

One night he wound the puppy's tail
To me the natural course of things.
And fed the eight-day clock.
I'll swallow all its happy moods,
And laugh at worries that it brings.
Our neighbor folks were all aghast
I would not ask for all of peace,
At all the pranks he played.
But take my part of toil and strife--
The doctor said he'd lost his mind,
I'll take the bitter with the sweet,
His friends were all dismayed.
For I love life.
But now my uncle laughs at them
And swears the rum did good,
I love life; its cheery songs,
For now he is a movie star

Out there in Hollywood.

A clearing to the mountain-side.
And thorns have stabbed me front and
side,
I did not once resort to wrath,
Or envy him that success hath.
For even tho the door was nailed
And closed SO tightly in my face,
And tho my ship was sandy beached
ewr
To sink almost before she sailed;
And tho the harbor was unreached,
I cower not in cold disgrace.
I have not failed, for in my heart
I still have trust that will impart
Me courage now to try again-
There's faith that some day I shall win.
And feeling thus I now can start
My course once more, and I can chart
The way among my fellowmen,
For now I know where to begin.
I've no regrets for course I've run,
Nor shall I scream in dire defeat
And say that life for me is through.
To try again is lots more fun.
Some day my triumph will come true
And then the victory will be sweet.

My dear Mr Early
I have been manufacturing Turkish and Virginia
cigarettes for many years, Just for private customers-
Every time I see a picture of the President with a cigarette,
and when I read of how much he smokes, I wonder how in the world
I can bring my Bonnell Blends to his attention- They really are
unrivalled in their fragrance and quality- and those who do
patronize them are more than enthusiastic- I am amost sure
he would like them- there are so few manufactuers nowadays who
have fine imported tobaccos- and use them exclusively- most of the
stuff people smoke is hay ;;;;
I have most of my custo mers in Philadelphia and New York, years
ago Lady Geddes introduced them to some of the British Embassy, and
one of that crowd still orders occassionally ,Mr L. McCormick-
Goodhart- I am sure he would tell you they are fine- if you ever
see him- and that might give me an opening to send samples-
I also once made some up for Mrs Roosevelt-for a campaign back in
1928-
I adore the president- and have always been one of his
adherents-since the time he ran for governor-
It is hard for small
fry. like myself, to get known much- we really are about the
worst off of anyone- because we are not in Unions- nor are we
capitalists- yet we have to support our dependents- and keep
up a "front"-
Well; you are a busy man- I will stop-
BUT could I send samples of the Turkish or Virginia blends ?
and could you get them tried out- ??? They are gorgeous-

My dear Mr Early
This is to thank you ever sommuch, for your letter
and indeed I have no intention of using the fact, that I sent
cigarettes to our Presedent ,for advertising purposes; it thrills
me just to think that he may smoke them -
I sent a box of Imported
tobacco blends and one of Virginia blends-- These cigarettes are
in a class by themselves nowadays- they are fragrant and untreated-
Most cigarettes have to be treated with molasses or glycerine
or some other stuff- to make them palatable- but MINE are SO pure
that they rely only on their own fragrance-
I enclose two "sonnets" in their honor- we had at one time a
regular anthology-
That "BattleCry" speech of yesterday, has thrilled
the world, and we all will put our backs behind the wheel, and
Gollow our Leader with all our strenghth-

me just to think that he may smoke them -
I sent a box of Imported
tobacco blends and one of Virginia blends-- These cigarettes are
in a class by themselves nowadays- they are fragrant and untreated-
Most cigarettes have to be treated with molasses or glycerine
or some other stuff- to make them palatable- but MINE are so pure
that they rely only on their own fragrance-
I enclose two "sonnets" in their honor- we had at one time a
regular anthology-
That "BattleCry" speech of yesterday, has thrilled
the world, and we all will put our backs behind the wheel, and
follow our Leader with all our strenghth-
Wishing you a Happier New Year
Sincerely yours
Elsie Harper Bourell
