THE RHYMING SUMMARIST
¿This day is an important one
With men and women voting,
They gather at the ballot box
To keep the ship of state a floating;
Some express their choice in the G. 0. P.,
Think it makes the wheels go turning,
More cash on hand,
More jobs to land,
And home fires brighter burning.
Some prefer the Demo side,
And this reason they are giving,
That their party is the only one
To make a joy of living;
We don’t deny what each may say
Or question much their glory,
But with Demos in
Or Repub win,
Its about the same old story.

free
Of Mammon’s daily whirl,
C ' we love some, her and me,
."e and her—My Girl.
And when I’m sick with the fever's
flush,
And my thoughts art of the past,
Her hand brings faith in the death-
room’s hush,
•
And her faith brings hope to the
last.
And how I worship her snow-white
hair,
The white of my Mother’s curls,
Gee, we love some—her and me,
Mother—she’s My Girl.

“Evil One" Under Ladder
Why do people avoid walking un­
der a ladder? One will say, “ Be­
cause ill-luck will dog the footsteps
of whoever does so.” Another, wish­
ing to camouflage the real reason,
will aflinn that “Safety first” is a
good motto. But, if we are to be­
lieve one writer, the reason why wt
avoid the risk is “the subtle call of
ancestry in the blood, directing and
controlling our movements.” “You
will find,” he says, “the explanation
in a picture at Sienna called the
‘Descent From the Cross.’ In that
picture you will see the devil put­
ting out all his mental and physical
force to prevent the dead being
taken from the cross. The figure of
the evil one is under the ladder
pulling and pushing against its holy
stability, and making the shadow
terrible and hateful. Of course, you
have forgotten this idea—you have
never seen the picture. But it wras at
one time part of the duty of all good
Christians to remember it and pray
daily against this force which tried
to upset the ladder of the charitable
act; and also to keep back from a
ladder under which the evil one was
always to be found.”

Dangerous To Be Born.

a soldier in France facing German
guns" said Dr. C. U. Moore, Wednes­
day as he addressed the mothers
gathered at the Welfare Bureau.
"The death rate for babies up to
one year old is 70 out ofeverv 1000
in this state," continued Dr. Moore,
"and the death rate for the soldiers
we had in France was about 25 for
I every 1000.” I ask, “Is it fair ”
