snggggocr fixing flilrctriritgfs Qnliluqup I watched mankind throughout the centuries, Watched as he struggled from the jungle depths And battled with the monsters of the world: Often I laughed his puny strength to scom, And smote him, on the highlands and the seas I-le felt my swift electric thunderbolts: They crashed upon his habitations frail, Or seared his struggling sails on the deep. For I, a king, could sweep the field' of space And make a playground of the land and sea. But as the silent centuries passed on Mankind won wisdom with the hard' wrought years, And I, who had' been freer than the winds, Became a servant of the hosts of man: To Hood with light his teeming city streets, To drive the whirling wheels of his mills, Or leap with messages from strand to strand, A fallen monarch and a conquered king! . GEORGE B. STAFF. summits r gust QBur wap When the man who reads the meter comes around to take a look, We are apt to tell him kindly that his meter is a crook ' And a double-dyed exceeder of the limit set for speed, Faster than a modern racer of the eighty H. Pi. breed. We inform him that we're thinking of removing all the wires And of going back to candles or the oil lamps of our sires . To escape the awful bills we get-which talk, we seem to think, Will arrest the maddened meter ere it plunges o'er the brink. But the meter keeps on metingg and we find that, after all, When we figure the convenience, the expense is really small: And we brag to our friends because our light bills are so low. ,And this railing at the meter! Just a custom, don't you know. Fifty-Eight
