WHAT is SAID TO BE TRUE.
Song.

A song of my darling who came through the meadow
With bonny brown hair and her kirtle SO red.
The sunshine she brought with her stole through
my shadow,
And sweet to my ear were the words that she ssid.
She gave me flower that she wore in her bosom,
And vioiets not half 30 blue as her eyes,
Deep down in my soul they Immortality blossom.
read her warm heart through their fairy disguise.
She makes no pretense of undying devotion,
Her love- by her showing, is feeting as dew;
She laughs at my constancy, yet I've notion
She's truer than many who boast themselves true.
Her Gliding is sweeter than others caressing,
She leads me at will by thread she doth hold;'
The least little touch OF her hand is blessing;
And kiss Of my darling is better than god.

mo, sir; don't believe newspaper men are
more dissipated than any other class of men who
earn their living by their braius," said Mr.. A. H.
siegfried. Managerof the Advertising Department
of the St. Paul Pioneer Press Still, those of them
who do desk-work are tempted to stimulate, for
it's very hard on the nerves and stomach"
"As for example,
"As for example, in my own case, stuck to my
desk on this paper until my nerves were like
bunch of telegraph wires after a gale, and my
stomach kept about as good time as two-dollar
watch. My friends suggested this and the doctors
advised that, but one day caught on to an 'ad.
ofPARKER's Tonic and tried it. Ihave never en-
dorsed a proprietary medicine before, but shall
depart from my rule and say that the Tonic is not
merely the best thing, but the only thing that
breaks up these attacks. All desk workers should
make note of it,"
This preparation, which has been known as
PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter be adver-
tised and sold simply under the name of PARKER's
Tonic As unpriAcipled dealers are constantly
deceiving their customers by substituting inferior
articles under the name of ginger and as ginger
is really an unimpOrtant ingredient we drop the
misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the preparation

OLD SHOES.

How much man is like old shoes!
For instance: Both soul may lose:
Both have been tanned; both are made tight
By cobblers; both get left and right;
Both needs a mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling, oft are soled,
And both in time turn all to mould.
With shoes the last is first; I:ith men
The first snail be the last; and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out they're men-dead, too.
They both are trod upon, and both
win tread on others, nothing loath.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished in the world to shine;
And both peg out; and it would do
To be q man or be his shoe!

Still, one would like to interview old
Mistress Gilman's spirit and know
what she thinks about it. She knows

woman, and even finds they would
have been useless, she still might feel

The Rambler.

Nearly a year ago there died in New
York an old lady, Mrs. Margaret
Gilman. She had some money, and
not being able to take it with her, she
did the next most comfortable thing
and made provision to have part of it
do her some good in the other world.
She set aside $4,000, which was first to
be used in paying her funeral expenses,
and then her husbands when he should
follow her; it was next to build them
a monument, and what was left was to
be spent in masses for their souls.
Now, who knows how often this old
couple lay awake in the night and
wished they had not done certain
things and wondered if their works
would follow them and make them un-
comfortable in the land to which they
were going? They might have been
very good folks and yet had this expe-
rience. Most of us are staunch church
people as far as the leaving undone and
the doing are concerned. At any rate,
Mrs. Gilman was quite sure she would
rest more easily for the masses, and so
she died in faith and in hope, believing
her trustee would do what she bid
him, and that waiting in the shadows,
the prayers for which she had provided,
would tighten and brighten her path,
and, perhaps, some of her penalties.

And so the law has settled the quest
ion which has troubled saint and seer,
and until we bring it before Higher
Court we must be content to know that
the dead-are dead. 1t will be useless
hereafter for any ghost to come and
vex us with his unquiet memories.
How can he, seeing that we can at
once prove to him how futile his very
existence is? In olden days they laid
spirits with book and bell, and all sorts
of incantatiOns, but now Judge Freed
man has given US a Riot Act for Ghosts,
and enabled us to dismiss them with
logic, instead of charms. Hereafter no
one need live in a haunted house no.
less he likes it. All ghost stories re-
veals the fact that spirits come back
only to please themselves. Itis always
pot of gold or a memory that draws
them to their old haunts. This is ex-
actly what Judge Freedman says is
impossible. He declared they are as
incapable of taking an interest in any,
thing they have left behind them as
they are free from legal Jurisdiction.
Not the most devout ghost believer
would hold them amenable to law.
Therefore they cannot fulfil the other
condition. They take no interest in
what they have left here, and SO why
should they come back? "My dear
sir" one can fancy The Rambler saying
to the spirit he knows best, "you are
perfectly well aware that it is not for
|ay pleasure that you walk about my
house, go up and down my stairs, and
frighten my visitors and servants.
Judge Freedman says it is impossible il
should be for your own. So why dc
you do it?" What could he or she saw
to this? 1t is not clear that any sensi.
BILE, logical ghost would at once 90 out
into the Universe and free the house Of
its presence?

latter very accomplished in music,
and they first occupied part of house
and then q whole house, and it was not

to look after matrimony, as was seen
by her cutting all the young "dudes'
and dandies and going only among
senators and chiefs of the navy and
army. Suddenly they disappeared

Paper collars? You may get them
in some of the German barber-shops.
but we don't sell them, said the pro-
prietor Of one of the oldest gentlemen's
furnishing stores on Fifth avenue to 4
cOuntryman recently As the repre-
sentative from the rural district passed
out Commercial Gazette reported ask
ed: DO you have many calls for paper
coIlars?'
Not very many. Once in 4 while
some one will drop in and ask for them,
but this don't happen twice in Il year
and we don't keep them. As [ told that
chap, some of the BARRIERS keep them
They have little stock on hand for the
benefit of customers who occasionally

year one or two of the big clothing
stores have sold them at about cent

mo; the time was that everybody
wore paper collars. The rage broke
out just after the war opened, when lin
en- collars were worth their weight in
gold. They were sold by the hundred
at from IS to So. The manufacturers
used to advertise the cheapness of pa
per collars by comparing the original
cost of linen collars plus the price of
laundrying with the cost Of paper col
lars, the latter showing up far the cheap
est. For a time they were generally
worn and then they began to be put up
in boxes and became cheaper. In the
course of 4 few years, however, the lin
en- collar came back. -
"Why did the popularity of paper
wane?"
The paper collar never looked as
we'll as the linen article and the dressier
men soon came to this conclusion.
Then. too. the doctors began to swear
that the paper collars poisoned the skin
on the neck, and that helped things
when the downhill part of the road was
reached. For the past ten years zew of
them have been sold, and in the last
five you might say none. The day of
the paper collar was about twelve years,
but during that time hundreds o. men
made their fortunes out of it."-Pitts-
b11rg Commercial Gazette.
