In these restrained and careful times
Our knowledge petrifies our rhymes,
An! for that reckless fire men had
When it was witty to be mad
When wild conccits were piled in scores
And lit, by ilaring metaphors,
When all was erazed and out of tune,
Yet held the music of the moon.
If we could dare to write as i'll
AS some whose voices haunt us still.
Perhaps even we might call our own
Their deep enchanting undertone.
We are too diffident and nice,
Too learned, and too ovcr-wisc
Too much afraid of faults, to be
The flutes of bold sincerity.
For, as this sweet life passes by
We blink and nod with critic eve:
We've no words rude enough To give
Its charm, 50 frank and fugitive
The green and scarlet of the park,
The undulating streets at dark,
The brown smoke blown across the hlue
This crowded city we walk through:
The pallid faces fun OF pain,
The field smell of the passing vain.
The laughter; longing, perfume, strife,
The daily spectacle of life;
All! how shall this be give. in rhyme,
BY rhymsters OF a knowing time?
All! for the age when verse was glad.

anxious to make as many sales possible

in instant half dozen little fellows
darted toward him. He selected a paper
from one of them and the rest scattered
He his eye carefully over the first page
while the little fellow patiently waited.
Not finding what he wanted he turned to
the second and leisurely scanned it's col

shifted from one foot to the other while he
looked inquringly up into the face of his
prospective customer.
He had by this time opened the paper.
glanced over the wants and editorial page.
and, apparently finding the article he was
in search of, leisurely began to read it,
The crowd were growing larger and all
around the busy newsboys were doing a
rushing business-all except this one little
fellow, who was patiently waiting for his
money. Once the man placed his hand in
his vest pocket as though in search of a
coin, but instead brought out toothpick
and the boys face fell as he saw him
place it between his teeth and continue
reading.
The impatient look on the youngsters
face changed to one of disgust and utter
contempt as the man finished the article,
carelessly folded the paper, handed it back
and, without even thanking the boy,
walked down the street.
He was an actor and wanted to read the
notice of his show.-Indianapolis News.

HONEST IN POLITICS,
Jeremiah Was Not Above Saving a
Few Cents for Himself.


Honesty in politics?'' said man who
was dining at the table next the window
to the Buffalo Express. Huh, there isn't
any such thing. That's a fiction that was
played out long, long ago. Nowadays it is
the man with the biggest fortune who gets
the offices. 1 tell you that this country
has reached deplorable state of morals'
"How's that?" asked the man who sat
across from him.
"Why, there is no honesty in business
social or political life. The elections are
crooked. The vilest sort of schemes are
resorted to in order to get votes. Men are
openly bribed. Men who get into office
steal everything they can get their hands
on. It's the same way in business. too.
You can never tell when to trust man.
People you have dealt with for years do
not hesitate to do you up if they get a
chance. They sell you poor goods at high
prices. They use all sorts of dishonest
means to get your trade and when they
get it they at once proceed to get even
by cheating you. And in society-why
society is rotten to its core. Honesty is
as scarce as purity. There is nothing
that is too mean for these people who
pretend to be the leaders of the social
sets. I am disguised with the whole bust
ness I had a good mother who taught
me to be honest, and l have always tried
to live up to her teachings. l can look
any in the face and say that I am
an honest man. But let's get out of
here and back to the Office
His friend picked up the check and
passed it over to him. AS he did so he
remarked: THAT fool of a waiter has
made a mistake OF so cents in our BILL
TOO much?' inquired the honest man.
NO too little
The honest man grabbed his hat
Hurry up he said, "and perhaps we can
get out of here before he finds it out
