Will The Merchant Who is Wise
Ever Cease to Advertise?
Yea— when the trees grow upside
down,
When the beggars wear a crown,
When ice forms on the sun,
When sparrows weigh a ton,
When gold dollars get too cheap,
When women secrets keep,
When fish forget to swim,
Whim Satan sings a hymn,
When girls go hack on gum,
When the small bov hates a drum,
When no politician schemes,
When mince pies make pleasant
dreams.
When its fun to break a tooth,
When all lawyers tell the truth,
When the drummer has no brass—
When these things come to iuihb ,
Then the man that’s wise will neglect,
to advertise.— M cVille Journal.

When the frosting's on the pumpkin
And the pumpkin's In the pie,
What a lot of satisfaction
Can be compassed In a sigh.
It’s n sigh of sweet contentment;
It's a tribute to the skill

W ho has stuffed us till we're ill.
She can give us cakes and pudding;
W e will eat them till we die.
But we give the Haunting banner
To the golden pumpkin pie.

years ago at the mouth o f the harbor
by one o f the large China steamers.

the tide, and « dim. mysterious light
over all the sot:itier objects his heart
failed him. and he gave the signal to

to the botiom by a collision with an
