GREETING.
Traveler I vrr tfe
Meeting moments, fleetly.
Past away.
Wherefore, greet me Itindly
Hate ftrifces wildly, blindly:
Foo&fc they,
When brief time will part them,
Each 'gasaat each doth arm him.
For hk Say.
Let sot hatred's harvest
Be with us our largest,
At DoamVday.
So, thy roae go I mine
For, through cloud aad sunshine,
Ccme: the day.
When we shall foregather,
Sowiogs reap together,
Thus wise way.

SONG OF THE YUCCA.
Sharp is the edge of ray
hard rough leaves,
Sturdy my fibrous weedy stem,
I and the sage brush
and cactus thorns
If we parch here and dk
what then?
But look at my great-branched
spUce of flowers.
Look at my waxen petals spread
Look at the cactus plains abloom
with their god and their rich deep red.
Starved by an empty acrid soil,
Dried by the sweep of resistless air.
Scorched by the glare of a brazen sky,
Yet these are the flowers we bear!

Dorothy patted the bald head re
' flectively.
"Mamma." she Eaid, "ia it going to
make him sick when he cuts his hair?"

"On Satan's Knees "
A lilt'egirl of live or so was much

Ari Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon hk knees.
What ever," she asked "did they
want to sit on Satan's knees for? I'm
buio 1 ehould not like to sit on Satan's
knees at all. And why should he trem

iog.and is half pathetic in its suggestion
of how we wander when searching for

"Of course I shall," the replied. "Un

to wjar such a thing. It is notecsjntta

is objectionable in the mnrriage relation.'
"And so on tho same theory," he con

That will b3 nice," replied the young

"What is your pet mme at home?'
"Well, the fact is, I was never petted
much at home. Father and mother
never called me anything but Clarence,
and I never had any brothers or sis

among the young men do not call you
Clarence?"
"No."
"And I suppose, too, that they don't
call you Mr. Harkins all the time?"

The really good advertisers arc wonder
fully tolerant of cttticism frow any point oj
compass. They recognize that, in spite of
its strange paradoxes, advertising is based o
fixed principles.
Like every other art its laws are learned
only by practice; but no matter who dis
covers them or who expounds them, they
are just as sure and unchangeable as gravi
tation. That is a law that a monkey can
demonstrate with a cocoanut as comqletely
as Sir Isaac Newton in all hs glory.
Don't sit on the critic Disprove his
criticism if you can, but be Impersonal about
it. Ekcuss bis principles or theories upon
their merits or demerits, indep- ident of tne
man who advaoces them. A wise man
can learn from fools; a tool can't learn from
anybody.
