Come on let’s start anew today,
I^et's fling the old mistakes away,
The failures and the hurts and stings,
The misery of by-gone things,
And wipe the slate of what has been.
Here is a morning fresh and clean,
Untarnished by a rusty past,
A day no shame has overcast!
The

Forget the past, though thick beset
With shame and failure and regret.
Here is a new and shining day
Of which no mortal tongue can say
An evil word. ’Tis yet too soon!
Until the failing afternoon
It waits upon us all to see
How-we shall write its history.

VARIETIES OF BOOKS
Yea, there are books for every tagte, and acme of them are
birds, and others are a weary waste of vain and empty words.
Producing some the hacks have wrought, at famine’s dire be-
hest; and others reek with Gems of Thought until we eannot
rest. And there are books by giddy dames, and books by
statesmen higK, and books descriptive of the games of criminal
and spy. And there are volumes bound in red, all filled wityi
desert lore, and tales of pirates who have sped the souls M
score on score. And in my study’s solitude I should be Sunny
Jim, since there’s a book for every mood, and every taste and
whim. But I am .grouching all the day, for something fresh
I plead; I look along the shelves end say, “Thsre’s nothing fit
to read.” When I Was young my bookd -were few, And gained
by heavy toil, and oft I read them through and through, while
burning midnight oil. Then any book seemed passing fine, and
not a tome was bad, and all the knowledge that is mine came
from those books I had. Now books are flowing from the
press at an increasing speed, and 1 exclaim, in my distress,
“Tljftre’s nothing fit to read!”___________________
