Looking Forward. ‘By CAROLYN WELLS. REMEMBER, I remember The aeroplane I bought; The others had them in our set, And so I thought I ought. The first time that I started out It scared me ‘most to death; It took away my courage, and It took away my breath. I remember, I remember How hard I tried to fly; I thought I’d just soar gently up, ‘Then skim along the sky. Alas! the engine wouldn’t work, The motor wouldn’t mote; I'd rather ride a skittish horse, Or sail a leaky boat. I remember, I remember How I progressed in skill, And I contrived to make the thing Almost obey my will; And how I asked to be my guests "Most every one I met— Though many of them went with me, A few are living yet. I remember, I remember The coldness when we rose; And though we vowed that it was fine, We very nearly froze. The earth is good enough for me, I've had enough of sky; I like it farther off from heaven Than when I tried to fly. Trouble in the Air. Husband—‘‘You don’t go shopping with Mrs. Nearby any more?’ Wife—No; the last time we went she wanted a remnant that I wanted."” "THERE are short story writers who can’t get rid of their stock of manuscripts because they have watered it too much.

By ELLIS 0. JONES. N° NATION can endure which does not take proper care of its rich. Rich people put the finishing touches to the social fabric, round out the culture “MY SON. JAKEY.” scheme, and help to make a cred- itable showing in the eyes of the world. It behooves us, therefore, to keep them on our minds and, if necessary, on our shoulders. Are we doing the right thing? Have we resolved their care to a demonstrable, scientific proposi- tion? It stands to reason that we should give them neither too much nor too little. We should not, for instance, treat them as we would a flock of turkeys dur- ing the ante-Thanksgiving period. The principle is entirely different. We expect to keep them with us always, not to send them to the slaughter. Nor must we over- feed them, so that they will fall into disease or in any way become a burden to themselves. On the other hand, we must not stint them in the slightest degree, for then they will not be rich or able to perform the du- ties of the rich as such. To strike a happy medium in all cases is, of course, difficult; but so is aviation difficult, and yet see what tremendous results we have achieved in that field of endeavor. While there is absolutely no reason for our being pessimistic, we should in nowise abate our watchfulness.
