Reliability of Advertisements.

1t is unquestionably true that up to
decade ago great deal of advertis-
ing was characterized by buster and
exaggeration. The two essential fea-
tures-reliability and instructiveness-
which have rendered the present day
plan of advertising in popular news
paper so successful were in a great de-
gree lacking. The merchant seemed to
simply want to yell to the public
through the speaking trumpet of his
advertisements, and his yell was not
an improvement over the cries of the
old London store ''touts" when they
bawled to passerby: Come in and
buyl' On the other hand. modern trade
announcements engender in the public
mind confidence in the advertiser
which is always certain to have
profitable effect upon his business

Little Kindnesses.

If you are toiling up a weary hill,
Bearing load beyond your strength to
bear,
Straining each nerve, untiringly, and still
Stumbling and losing foothold here and
there,
And each one passing by would do so
much
AS give one upward lift and go their
way,
Would not the slight, reiterated touch
or help and kindness tighten all the day?
There is no little and there is no much;
We weigh and measure and define in
vain;
A look, a word, light, responsive touch
Can be the minister of joy to pain.
A man can die of hunger, walled in gold,
A crumb may quicken hope to stronger
breath,
And every day we give or we withhold
Some little thing that tells for life or
death.

The Message Of Peace.

Bid the din of battle cease,
Folded be the wings of fire,
Let your courage conquer peace
Every gentle hearts desire
Let the crimson flood retreat
Blended in the arc of love
Let the flags of nations meet:
Bind the raven loose the dove
AT the altar that we raise
King and Kaiser may bow down;
Warrior-knights above their bays
Wear the sacred olive crown
Binding passion is subdued.
Men discern their common birth.
God hath made of kindred blood
All the peoples of the earth
High and holy are the gifts
He has lavished on the race
Hope that quickens, prayer that lifts,
Honor's need and beauty's grace.
AS in Heavens bright face we look
Let our kindling souls expand;
Let us pledge, on Natures book
Heart to heart, and hand to hand,
For the glory that we saw
In the battle-fiag unfurled,
Let us read Christ's better law:
Fellowship for all the world
