street because it costs something for a

business, because it ''cOsts too much!"
Then growl about hard times, because

No wonder you can't afford to advertise
when you don't let people know where
you are and what you have to sell. And
then your trade is so small that when you
do have a customer you are compelled to
put a large margin ON what he wants, or

weeks later, met the General with a friend
walking in Broadway. The General re-
membered the face, but could not place

And we sit and dream ana muse,
Passing the hours away,
Whether illed with joy or sorrow,
Time will never stop or stay.
When the midnight hour is striking
And our loyed ono's coming late,
