POETRY Y.


Oh is hurry, hurry, hurry, and it's
hurry all YOU can,
\ on We got to keep a.hurryinp and bus.
tie like man.
The easy way of going is relict OF the
past.
And now it's hurry, Hurry up! Now.
hurry Hurry fast,
ltsvery sure if you don t run the other
fellow will,
And so you want to hurry and then
hurry harder still,
If some ones bound to beat YOU, YOU
can pass him in wink
III YOU but keep n hurry on and never
stop to think.
There may 6c time TO catch your breath
when you have caught your car.
But Sixty seconds TO the minutes all
OF them there are.
There are but sixty minutes out OF
every hour of those,
And when you figure very fast it's aw-
full how it goes,
And don't forget you've got to get
there mighty quick, because
ou've got to get away again and
snatch it from the Jaws.
Whose jaws they are don't cut the ice
nor what you re going to snatch.
lou can he too particular in such a
shooting match.
You can t stop to fix your feet and try
to walk crack,
For, though it's tough a-getting there
1t S tougher getting back.
There's little time to linger on the
grecny, grassy lawn
When long before you've gotten there
you ought to then be gone.
So keep a-humping, humping, now, ant
jolly right along,
With here hurry, there hurry, ther
hurry strong.
If you but keep your hurry on ant
hurry, hurry fast.
It's ten to one you're on the run an(
may get back at last.

CITIZEN TRAIN.-George Francis
Train sat in state in Madison Square
park the other day, and as he lolled
on II bench Inunching peanuts man
came along who had been drinking.
There are few persons on earth who
think the snge Of the square an
easy mark for their shafts of
wit.
"Kin you tell me-" asked the
lurching chap, "why you are
craZy?"
George Francis looked at him for a
moment. Yes" he answered " I
am pursued by 80 many fools who ask
questions"
Don't sensible folks ever talk to
your" he went on.
Never" replied the philosopher.
"You have answered your own aues-
tion," he went on. "Ifyou need the
information really you put yourself
down as silly person. II you're not
bright enough to see the point, you
are convicted Of being OF the class
you mention. In any event you're a
fool. Now go home and reason il
OUT" and the half dazed individual
sauntered away.

SHAKSPEARE's MARRIED LIFE
On what basis does the theory rest
that Shakespeare was not happy in
the later years Of his married life L?
writes DR.. William J. Rolfe in The
Ladies' Home Journal. AS we have
seen, his wife is about eight years
older than himself, and the nuptials
were celebrated i'm some haste. He
had gone to London few years later
leaving his wife and babies i'm
Stratford. The "Sonnets," which
to my thinking, are unquestionably
more or less photographed, indi-
cate that he had not been able to re-
sist the temptations of city life, that
ne had sinned and suffered and re-
pented.
Note that terrible outcry of re-
morse, the one hundred and twenty
ninth sonnet. 1t assures us that
whatever his errors may have been
Shakespeare repented Of them and his
after life shows that he brought forth
fruit meet for repentance. He never
lost his love for his Stratford home.
We have seen that as soon as he be-
gan to become prosperous in London
he bought the diiapidated New place
and as fast as his means allowed, re-
paired the house, enlarged and i'm
proved the grounds and gradually
made ii the elegant and delightful
home that was his ideal from the
very first.

One of the most interesting per-
sonalities in the great metropolis is
Mrs. Hetty Green, known tar and
wide as the richest woman in all
America. She handles with con-
summate skill her great fortune,
amounting, ii is estimated, to $780,
100000. Year by year the princi-
pal Increases through judicious in
vestments.
Mrs Green has been criticised
many times tor this cause and that,
but her energy and ability az a wo-
man of business are beyond uues-
ton. She was asked the question so
often put to persons successful in
this worlds affairs:
"To what do you owe your sue
cess ?"
Mrs. Green was silent for a mo-
ment and then she said:
1t Is peculiar question, and vet
L think | can answer it. Ny father
was business mana good business
man. When l was-well good hit
younger than l am now, / heard
him lay down these principles
IL you owe man a dollar nav
him dollar-a good dollar-on the
day you promised to pay. Don't
pay him dollar and quarter, and
don't try to pay him ninety-nine
cents. Give him full dollar, then
he will know that you are neither a
thief nor fool. you find a man
in your employ dishonest, get rid of
hlm-quietly if you can, but let
him go. This is not harshness, it il
common justice to honest men, and
1t Is proper justice to men who VIC
late their faith
There was more than this" Mrs.
Green went on, "but these opinions
alone form good business creed
and, If you wish it, to them more
than anything else / attribute any
degree OF success that has come &c
me.
There are too things that canno,
and will not abide! A fool or 9
thief. They may be about me, but
they will not be if know it,"
Yet l am told you are lenient
and kind, as rule, to your EN-.
ployes, Mrs. Green ?"
am just with them, and, as a
result, ! get good service. do not
think you will find any one who has
ever been employed by me who will
not say that l always treated him a,
least as fairly as he treated me.
The best way to be beneficial is to
be useful. You may, perhaps, have
thought that hoard my money and
count over and gloat over it o.
nights. Well don't.
Every man, and for that matter
every woman ought to work in &C.
cordance with its value. Now YOU
have read of me as mean graspine
old woman. You have never heard
OF my giving away vast sums in
charity. You have not seen INV
name at tho head of donations for
free this or free that.
1 will tell you what / did dc
though. i built houses in Chicago,
blocks of them at a time, when men
wanted work. / paid good wages,
ana the money was always there on
payday. In the business managing
OF my affairs l employ a great many
men-yes, and women too. 1t takes
good deal of money to pay these,
but they are paid, each Of them, as
much as they are worth within my
knowledge.
And do you know, l think work
harder than any of them"
But then you have the largest
salary, Mrs. Green" | ventured.
Well well! Have 1t So" she
said, with smile. but | think I
am worth In ~
