A LITTLE MORE
A little more tired at close of day;
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame;
•A little more care for a brother’s
*
1 name; i
And so we are nearing the Journey’s
End,
Where Time and Eternity meet affii
blend.
A little less care for bonds and gold;
a little more zest in the days of old;
A broader view and a saner mind,
And a little more love for all man
kind;
A little more careful of what we say;
And so we are faring a-down the way.
\
I
A little more loving for the friends of
, youth ;
A little less zeal for established truth;
A little more charity in our views;
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away,
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream;
A little more real the things unseen;
A little bit nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long-lived and
' dead;
And so we are going where all must
To a place the living may never know.
A little more laughter; a little more,
tears;
And we shall have told our increasing
years,
The book is closed, and the prayers
are said,
And we are a part o fa countless dead,
Thrice happy, then, if some sdul can
say;
"I live because he has passed my way.”

. j “In case there is an earlier meeting
■' o Congress, the opening day will then

impressive one, the American De
: sense society is distributing a card

. asking that they designate this day
as a Flag Day, on which day all citi
zens who are in favor of a greater na
tional defense are urgently requested
! to show such belief by hanging out
1 flags at every house.
“At the same time the American De
fense osciety is distributing a card
appeal to be signed by voters and sent
tc their respective congressmen and
senators, urging action at the next
session of congress in favor of ade
quate national defense. Cards may
be had upon request at the national

' sense society, 303 Fifth avenue, New
