, THE FIGHTER
The r'elrt has forgotten heT furrows,
And. stretches a, barren plain,
For earth has remembered her
sorrowp, ■
And gone to the wars again!
And I tnat was never a fighter
Have followed the heat of the
drum,
For the sake of a better and bright
er,
A truer tomorrow to come.
Oh. not that tne battle were over,
And we at the endi of th« war, .
But oh, that men would discover
The things they are fighting for!
It is ni* tha slaughter that harries
Tbe earth, but the slumber! —
♦he blight
Of the living dead—which carries
The world in'o chaos and night! j
And I tnat was never a fighter
Have entered the lists: for the
sake
Of th*t morning—much fairer and
brighter—
To whlcn mankind will awake!
Oh, not that the battle were over,
And we at the end of the war!—
But oh, that the world would dis
cover
Wtat it is fighting for!

GOOD MOTHERS
By Klla ."Wheeler Wilcox
WhBt is a good Mother? Is It
she who provides everytliing for a
selfish son? Who provides edu
cation, refinement, opportunity?
Is there a better Mother than
that?
If sr>, every Mother wants to
be that better Mother, for history
has to show that rarely has there
been a great man who didn't have
a great Mother. .
Klla Wheeler Wilcox gives that
iiint ,-n February Cosmopolitan —
you'll attva to read her poems over
several times; for the best part of
It is ihat you .nave to do most oC
