Comic Pictures.

The attention of our readers is called to the Comic Colored Pictures advertised in this issue by the Art Publishing Co.,, Little Rock, Ark. These pictures are not cards, but are large-sized chromos, each measuring 1912 by Y 3-4 inches, (some of them Io by 2o) printed on heavy board and when suitably framed are an inex- pensive and pleasing adornment for the home. All are comic and embrace such a variety of subjects that it will be next to impossible not to find something suit able for everybody. The pictures will be sent by mail, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canada for twenty cents each, or any six pictures for ST co. Postage stamps taken in sums less than $I.oo.

Bad Signatures.
(Exchange.l

There are some persons who really make point of concocting a signature which cannot be read. Occasionally we receive letters every word of which is leg ible except the name of the sender, and it is necessary to cut of the signature, and paste it on the reply envelope in the hope that the postmaster may know to whom the scrawl belongs.
 The eminent pr. Potts, when a clerk in Philadelphia, took bill to a Quaker, and had signed the receipt with one of those hierogiyphics sometimes seen on bank notes. The Quaker, taking up the paper, said blandly:
 Friend, what is that at the bottom ? '"
 This, sir, is my name"
 "What is thy name2"
 "William B. Potts."
 @Well, William, will thee please to write 1t down here plainly, SO that wit ness in court would know it." William learned a lesson that day, and ever aherward he wrote his name so it could be read.s

The Girl at the Front Gate.

wv. Scott Way, in the St. Louis Magazine l
 Heaven bless the girl at the front gate with peach-bloom on her cheeks and love-light in her eyes. Men would shut her out ot our literature but am not of them. The girl at the front gate can never grow old to those who have been there with her. Years may come and years may go, but the music of the low voice at the front gate will not be stilled, and the memory of the cherry lips we kissed at the front gate will hold out faithful to the end. What if the old gate does swag and it's hinges rattle and it's latch refuse to hold it shut2 What if its posts are shaky and some of it's pickets gone? We love the dear old relic still
 We love it for the sake of the girl who used to stand out there by it with roses on her cheeks and nectar on her lips. We held the old gate up and counted the stars and bid goodbye and then counted the stars again. How many times of a night was goodbye said2 How many times did lips meet o'er the old dear gate2 The old gate knows but it will never tell. The old front gate may have counted the kisses but never did. And l am sure the girl with peach bloom cheeks never did. And what of the girl with peach bloom cheeks2 An, me ! She married another. She forgot her vows at the old front gate, as some girls will, and married richer and handsomer man. And !? We'll, went off to another front gate where there were other peach bloom cheeks and other lips as sweet and Just as many stars to count. And now have front gate of my own and girl of my own with peach-blOom cheeks who counts the stars with the boy of the girl whose VOWS made with me at the first front gate were broken. But he is a true, good boy and my girl is a true, good girl and heaven bless them both as they stand tonight at the old front gate.

The Modern Serviie Press.
tBarber's Gazette.1


 Thirty years ago when we entered, or, more truthfully speaking, when they jerked us into American journalism. we didn't think we would ever shame facedly read such confession as this from such a man as Charles Dudley Warner, of the Hartford Co"TG1f:: Our theory of the newspaper is that it is very much what the public want it and make it, and we believe that as rule the tone of a news paper is higher than that of a majority of its readers. The editor feels inevitably the responsibility of his position, and no doubt would often like to make better newspaper than he does make. But ed itors (and especially publishers) are hu- man, and many of them have a notion that they must live someho~, ard that a little lowering of tone is profitable.

That is droll story abozt a fellow on board an ocean steamer who sat of to himself and seemed to be generally sore m his mind about something. He pre- sented such forlorn appearance that some ladies on deck thought they ought to inquire what was the matter. So one old lady approached and asked the lonely one why he was 90 disconsolate.
