the chain of circumstance that fol

It has cheapened existence, moral
ly; and made It intolerable In a
physical sense; and has become the
'touch-stone" of all endeavor to the
utter exclusion of the onco boasted
basis of individual action and judg
ment. This, of course, outside the
rare noble use that is made of It,
says an exchange, liond and bargain

and the want of it; and yet we go
on cultivating It and forcing It Into
the last crevice of our existence and
put It above and beyond almost every

fullness and sweetness of life.

WHAT IS A GRAFTER?
"What is a grafter?" asks a cor
respondent, seeking for light.
Ah, if we would only ask some
thing answerable! Who shall define
the Indefinite word? Who shall limit
the limitless? It needs a Homer to
sing the epic of graft, and catalogue
the grafters.
Graft Is a tendency, an atmosphere,
an Inlluenco, an Impulse, an instinct.
It is a reaching out for more. It is
an evolutionary effort to survive. It
Is selfishness. It is egotism. It is
fraud, injustice. It is an effort to get
more than one's share. It Is as old
as the world and as universal as sin.
Still, that docs not explain.
"What is a grafter?" This form of
the question is more concrete, but
or patronage In the form of adver
tising and subscriptions.

You can't afford to look as
hopes had ooicd away,
Though falluro face you
whero youturn;
You can't afford to Tot the
discover your dismay,
If your
every-
world
Though others claim the profits j
that you earn; )
You can't afford to go about with
dismal mutterings, ! o
Or mourn the wrongs you suffer and J
the woeful state of things; ' M
You can't afford to show your
wounds or try to salve the stlng3 i &
By tearfully complaining that they ,

The world has little sympathy
hi in who shuffles past,
Proclaiming by his look that ho
has failed;
The world has small regard for him
whoso face Is overcast,
And Fortune hates to hear herself
assailed.
The world Is always ready, to be
lieve in him whose air
Is that of one whom victory makes
proof against despair;
The world is ever eager to bo helpful
If we dare
To seem undaunted where we
might have quailed.

Repetition fastens a matter in tho
mind. An advertisement appearing
ten times is more effectlvo than ono
ten tlme3 as large appearing once.
A Marshfield grocer, when a cus
tomer complained that the pepper
which he sold was not pure, re
marked that "to tho pure all things
are pure."
A Marshfield merchant once said,
"I advertised yesterday and the day
before." Very good, but this is not
an excuse against or a reason for not
advertising today or tomorrow.
