Between those hours only dogs and

B. F. Kelly says in the New York
Penman'S AT J0arndl: The old rule of
thumb, without the glove, was deservedly
popular as signature, aad, although not
specially ornamental, yet an impression
made from the thumb with its varied
lines won d at all times be more difficult
to duplicate than any signature executed
with pen and ink. In fact it could be
done only by the original thumb.
The sign of the cross, used by persons
who could not write, is said to have origi-
mated during the Crusades, and originally
made with the blood of the signcr. 1t
was subsequently used with the sigma
turc to further attestto its sacredness.
Among the many Kings and Emperors
who could not write signature it is said
that Theodore, King of the Ostrogoths,
was so illterate and stupid that during
the ten years of his reign, he was not
able to write four letters. The letters
were cut for him in plate of gold and
the plate being laid on paper, he then
traced out the letters with Quill.
The Emperor Justin used plate OF
wood with letters cut for the same pur-
pose, but in addition to this aid he was
compelled to employ a Secretary to guide
his hand.
Signatures were written with but little
regard to photographed uniformity, q
sort of please style, and this
continued at least to the time of Queen
Elizabeth.

who bore on his shield group of nine

BENEATH THE LINDEN-TREE.

Beneath the tree.
The yellowing tree, the leafy linden-tree,
l lie alone in idlest revery.
The branches tremble in the passing gust
The brittle turf sends up its fragrant dust
And through the drowsy meadow drones the
bee.
Moider OF lifein high or low degree,
ExhauStleSs Nature breeds on every hand;
Before me lies the land, the pregnant land,
The swarming air, the big, prolific sea;
The cricket chirping singly in the sand
Is vocal with the unfathomed mystery.
Among this myriad brood,
A motley train, pursuer and pursued,
also move TO some divinest good
That here, embracing all, embraces me.
Beneath the tree,
The yellowing tree, the ancient linden-tree,
They lie and dream together, he and she.
For these alone the heart was born of clay,
The ages blossom in a perfect day,
And countless life obeys the great decree;
The moon reflects her spangles on the sea,
The planet Iindles in the northern sky,
And all the mighty pageant passes by
To bear them on to happy destiny.
For them the darkness wells the curious eye,
And God looks down, that every grace may
be,
In youths enchanted prime.
Encircled by shining pantomime,
They deeply drain the golden cup of time,
And love creates new eternity.

The Man Who Waits.

1t is said that everything comes to the
man who waits, but there is such thing
as waiting too long. A boy waits until
the last minute before tackling his lesson,
and then his teacher tackles him. Grown
older he waits long time before select
ing trade or profession, and finds him
self way behind his fellows, who caught
on early without waiting. He courts a
girl who suits him every way, but he
waits, and the consequence is some other
fellow slirs in ahead of him. His habit
of waiting interferes with his business
success continually. There is q bargain
to be had in the purchase of some prop
erty. Instead of embracing the oppor-
tunity as he night, he waits and another
profits by it. His insurance runs out,
and in place of renewing it Immediately
rs prudent man would, he waits, and
the if his house takes fire the chances
are that he will wait too long to escape
without scorching. Learn to labor and
to wait may be sound advice in some
cases, but not in all. -7eo1s SJtingS.
