Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these

We have already laid in a

therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
old Tile that bears such a
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore"

almost everything you could

We might go on indefinitely,

you want in the mems line,
just drop in and see us, and if
we can't suit you, we don't be-
lieve any one can.
If you should want pair of
nice shoes, let us try a hand at
fitting you. Did it ever occur
to you
How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are made
tight by Cobblers;
Both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out, they're mendec
new;
When men wear out, they're men deac
too.
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others nothing 10th.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would you
choose
To be a man, or be his shoes,

Profit in Forestry.

A pennsylvania suggests that forestry
could be made profitable; in other
words, that the man who is willing to
wait can make money by planting and
selling trees, but he must have the pa
tience Of a great many years. This abort
culturist forsees the time when our hills
having been stripped Of trees, the sale Of
planted specimens will become a regular
business. Tere is plenty Of land in this
country" ," he says, that is scarcely fit
for any other purpose than the growing
of trees. Such land could be purchased
for from 3 to 81 an acre. Dr.. James
Brown said some years ago, and it holds
good vet, that he had seen the crops Of
larch Of sixty years standing sold for
from 500 70 $1,000 per acre As this tree,
ike anything else, grows more valuable
the scarcer il gets, it is not presumption
b say that sixty years hence II will be
worth still more. Assuming that land
worth about the figure quoted above
were set out in lErch,. what a splendid
profit would be the result, although the
planter might not live to enjoy it. Still
another authority has calculated that 4
plantation Of ten acres Of European larch
to last tifty years will yield a profit OF
thirteen per cent. per anHum and show q
net profit at the end Of that time Of S52,-
2s2.75. Other trees in which there
would be profit for the planter are the
white pine Of the north, and the long
leaf pine Of tn south, the ash the walnut
aad the tulip.

Horace McPnee, who is here as River

no furry Whatever about the Bank of
Eisinor. And then McPhee told a story
which is particularly pat at these times.
He said there was a run on bank in
an iron mill town, and the depOsitors
we're being paid in silver dollars. The
excitsment increased and the run be-
came a fast one. The cashier was
young Irishman, and the WORK pu: upon
him was more than he liked. He re-
solved to stop it. lie sent the janitor
with a bushel Of silver dollars into a
rear room where there was a stove, with
instructions to heat them silver dollars
red hot" They were heated and in that
condition he handed them out with a
ladle The depozitors first grab5ed the
coin then kicked. "BHt you'll have to
take them that way" said the cashier.
ave are turning them out as fast as We
can meitand mold them, and if you
won't wait til they cool you'll have to
