An exchange tells a story of a man
VINO determined to spend all he made
during the first year in advertising.

There is a touch of poetry in every
being, if he will only get out of the
grind OF business long enough to find
it. Man is Il many-sided crystal, and
all the sides need to be recognized
and kept polished. 1t would be
dangerous to the conceit of II aver
age American business man, with his
ceaseiess drive of bargain and money
getting, to take him out of affairs.
and place him besides a mountain
stream, or in the wood. He would
wake up to the huniliating fact that
he a utterly embarrassing to him
self, and fail to discern songs in the
running brookand sermons in stones. =
The most effective remedy for this
state of things is the use of poetry.
No one who gives ten minutes a day
to reading poetry can be entirely I'M
interesting, and no one needs poetry so
much as the man of intense business
activity. 1t saves him from materi-
alism. drudgery, monotony. and that
fairness which robs life of its SAVIOR,
and makes it a thing of WEAKNESS.
The adage. Honesty is the best
policy We think in this age of pro-
gress and reform. ought to be made
over. Who is it who finds it true in
the race of life: Who is it who be-
lieves it holds good in attainment OF
success? Who believe honesty is best,
but certainly the word policy doesn't
fit in Our mind just there. When we
think of honesty as a gift. an attribute
, of friend or self. We feel proud. but
when we remember friend or self as
polite we inadvertently doubt the
friend and and hate the self. Honesty
is best IN all things: what we say and
what we do for here and the here
after. Policy may be- good in some
things we say and do here. but surely
[ not for the hereafter. We believe We
l will risk saying. although not a Bib,
scholar. the word policy, so far ha-
) not been squeezed in that blessed book
even by the reviSers. Hence VIC think
. the above adage would be more to the
point and really rue if ii ran thus,
''Honcsty is always best. and policy
I sometime allowable"
