x NOWN IN RUSSIA
BY THE BARD OF MARBLE HALL.
Near Moscow there dwelt an old Baron so grim,
That all the folks near kept shady of him;
But beautiful ward, lady so fair
Was known to be shut in his castle there.
Her beauty was famed all through the land
And many young mobiles had sought her hand;
But the grim old Baron was hard to please,
And would give his consent to none ofthese.
The Baron Dorlinsky had sought in vain.
Byevery means his suit to gain;
But the lady 1nez at church had seen
Young count Orlof, of handsome mcn
And he too loved her paSSingly well,
But how to get her he could not tell;
But he happened to hear of Smith IL Brothers,
And sent for suit to surpass all others.
The lady delighted, the Baron won over
And gave their consent to the well-dressed lover;
So, gents now tell you one and all
If you would succeed go to MARBLE HALL,
And a suit you'll get that with perfect case,
Will permit you to do whatever you please.
Be sure and come to MARBLEHALL for Men and
Boys Clothing. SMITH BROS & CO.,

STEADY HABTs.-Emerson, in his book on
English character, speaks Of an old town in
England where piece of bread and a draught
OF beer are given to every one who should ask
it at the gate About twenty call daily on an
average. This is paid for from fund be-
queathed for that purpose in 1876, more than
seven hundred years ago. To show how such
trusts are abused, however, it is complained
that minister takes $4,000 per annum from
the income Of the fund intended for the poor.
while this small pittance is only spent on small
beer and crumbs.
Considering the comparative ages of the
nations, we can nearly match that in this
country. About 1915, the Hon. Theodore
Atkinson Of Portsmouth, n. H., left a legacy
Of $1,000, the income Of which was directed
to he distributed in loaves of bread to the
poor of that town every Sunday This has
been done regularly for nearly a century;
about $4,000 have been thus spent, and the
fund has not been impaired. historical
