Where the light o' the sun never gushes! "For I am so sad in my marsh-beetled home. Where naught ever enters to cheer me, My bed but the cold and comfortless loam of a quagmire, foul with miasmic foam, Whose mists serve only to blear And poor little Will-o'-the- -Wisp sighed again As he sought for a friend extol him; Pathetic he looked as he strove to ken Through the myriad glades of his misty glen. Some dear little elf to console him. But he sought all in vain: for no elves were there. Save the flickering shadows about him.

No answering voice could be heard on the air: No ready response made its way to his lair, Save the sneers of the shadows to flout him. So he turned to these. this Will-o'-the- Wisp. As he blinked o'er his bog in the rushes. "Come hither!" he cried with a laugh and a lisp, As though to entice them enter en his wisp, In the bog where the sun never blushes.

FALLEN TARN H. HICKERSON PHOTO But the shadows refused to respond to his call, As they danced in delight all around him. "Look! Look at his pale little lantern!" cried all; 'Tis the lantern of Lucifer lighting his fall. And the shadows of night have found him!" Alas! It is true that we welcome in life Only those who would flatter and fawn us, We care not for others no matter how rife Are their hearts with tears or the world's bitter strife. So long as the sun smiles upon us.

But when the dark night of sorrow draws nigh To All us with desolation, 'Tis then we are heard in a low. plaintive cry, With our Jack-o'-lantern held on high, Appealing for consolation! 18,000 Christmas Boxes For Gifts to Men in France Eighteen thousand soldiers' mas cartons or boxes which the War Department has decreed gifts for Brooklyn soldiers with the American Expeditionary Force abroad must be mailed this year have been distributed last week by the Soldiers' (Christmas Parcel Committee of the Brooklyn Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Till a tempest of sorrow unites them again In the chamber of death--the funeral fenWhere the light o' the sun never rushes? Oh! Why can we not, in the sunlight of day, So live that affliction will find us At peace with each other, with nothing to pay But a tribute of love?
