saying: Let no man salute thee, neither let him kiss thee, for behold, I was you11g and now am I old, yet have I been saluted by no man save only him who has been gathered unto his fathers. Therefore went this saying abroad: He who kissed her who is ruler of the daughters of Hiram was, and is not. And when it came to the ears of the men of the land, they marveled not that it was so. Then came Helen which had been ruler in the house of Bowler, whom a certain one had taken to wife, and abode certain days in the land. And she and her two friends with her made a feast and sent unto the ruler ofthe daughters of the land, saying: Come and sup with us. But her countenance fell, and she went into her chamber heavy and displeased, for she liked not her who had been ruler before her. And she laid her down upon her bed, and turned away her face and would eat no bread. And as for all the Wonderful deeds of this ruler of the daughters of Hiram, and all the words of wisdom which she spoke, and all the troubles that arose in the land because of her, which are 11ot recorded in this book, behold, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Hiram ? 23

Radiator ! Radiator! Cold and clanlmy monster thou, If you had within you life or Feeling I would pound you now. Pound you-as I wish I might that Man whom now I long to see: He who took my many a ducat, Said this room should heated be. Colds and coughs are all my portion, Gone is all my joy in life. Glad I'll be when deat11's contortion Cuts me off and ends the strife. How can one be good and bow the Knee with such cold round about Swear I mzfsf. If Satan gets me Maybe he will thaw me out. O, that I might now have one coal From the Purgatorial iirel XVhy save all the heat for that goal Which I'll reach when I expire ? When I'rn dead and rigor zlzorlfs Stiffens me as cold does now, Place upon my tomb this notice 1 flVrite it while I tell you howl Here lies one cut down untimely By the cold on Hiram Hill, But they'll heat him up subliniely Where he's gone-We know they D will. 25 .1 ..., ., ..
