His Ideal.
He was weary and dejected, Things had seemed to go awry, She m kindness tried to cheer ihim — Tried to clear his clouded sky. And he told her of his troubles, Of his hope, and doubt, and fear — Ail the difficulties baffling Which obstructed his career. But one topic he avoided, For his nerves seemed quite unstrung, And he feared to pop the question, Though it trembled on his tongue. 'Till she innocently asked him In a tone thaib thrilled 1 him through. "What's the height of your ambition?" And he answered — "Five feet two."
