THE GREAT ADVENTURER
I called him that because ho knows The world, arid lovos it —every mile.: The southern seas, the northern snows; And faces danger with'a smile, And never ponders if tho goal Is worth his whilei He takes a chance" with every man, ' As if they all wero straight and true; He gives' you all of him ho can, Anci noyer waits for thanks fronr you. the heroes of that mould to-day Are rather few.r ( / His cheek is red from facing snow, He whirls a rapid course because He has a thousand leagues to go, But sometimes I have seen him pause, For whiskers are n- thin disguise For Santa Claus! —CKarles Divine. ■ "New York Life."
