KINFOLK.
(From "Tiie Double Dealer.") My forefathers bad lusty flesh And long, proud bones. Tbeir names, a test, their birth and death Are carved on stones. I know my body came from them, But nowhere can I find Their minds, my troubled mind. If one had written twenty words Like twenty of my own, I'd seek out his forgotten grave And feel less alone. And. lying on the rlcS earth, "Where proud bones rest. Take comfort in the silence Of my klnsman"s breast. — MARJOKIE ALLEX SlilFl'KKT.
