the same path would be followed in the

Kiss Me.

A very funny incident occurred no.
thousand miles from this city. One
of our celebrated composers has written
a very pretty song entitled "Kiss me-"
A very pretty, bluShing mide, having
heard of the song, and thinking she
would get it, with some others, stepped
into music store to make purchase
One of the clerks, modest young man
stepped up to wait on her. The young
lady threw her veil back saying:
| want "Rock Me to Sleep"
The clerk got the song, and put it
before her.
"Now," said the young lady, ~ want
the Wandering Refugee"
"Now, kiss Me-" said the young
lady of course meaning the song above
mentioned.
The poor clerks eyes popped fire
almost as he looked at the young lady
in utter establishment, for he was not
aware of the fact that a song by that
name had been written.
"Wh-what did you say, Miss?"
"Kiss me" said she.
81 can't do it; | never kissed young
lady in my life" SAID the clerk.
And about that time veil dropped,
a young lady left in hurry, clerk felt
sick, aud a dealer lost the sale Of some
music. -Er.

IInI.d Times.

Everybody says" that We are going
to have awful hard times this winter
Well we may if Everybody" chooses.
The cry of hard times is among the
symptoms of that inveterate seliishness
which prevents human affairs from ever
going straight ahead and condemns
them to zig gag through the ages with
scarcely a perceptible advance from
generation to generation. Ii is not
bit less weak and foolish in financial af-
fairs than others. The infectious COW.
ardice which since the recent smash up
has filed the atmosphere like cholera
miasma, is what keeps money locked up,
the locking up Of money is what pre-
vents enterprise, the loss of enterprise
is what puts men out Of employment,
and the want Of employment is what
makes poverty The western produ-
Ger who blames the eastern capitalist for
his sufferings has some reason for com.
plant, but if he goes round whimper
ing about hard times he is doing his ut
most 10 increase the calamity while by
courageous policy, the reverse Of that
which he denounces, he will not merely
contribute a mite towards the general
alienation Of distress but create among
his own immediate neighbors an atm)s
phere Of confidence which will very ma
terlally effect his own prospects. five
