Rosy McShane was a fairly good
maid of all work. but, like most of her
kind, she was woefully slack i'll caring
for her own room.
Her mistress was i'll for two or three
weeks, and on recovering she went up
to Rosy's room and found it in a state
of dirt and disorder beyond description.
Very indignant, she called Rosy, and
said
Rosy, l don't see how you can stand
it to have your room like this!''
Smiling pleasantly, Rosy made reply :
"Ah, thin, ma am, but [ was iver "a
patient person. "-Harper' Bazaar

GINGER JAR POETRY.



We talk about relations, but in every
family
One father and one mother is the usual
lot we see.
OF brothers and of sisters we have five or
six or SO,
While aunts and uncles number just a
pleasant, goodly row.
But that which runs the count up till we
fairly lose our breath,
Which Keeps the memory jumping from
our birth unto our death
Which meets us when we gather in groups
of many dozen.
Is that good, bcaming kinsman whom we
salute as cousin.
It's Cousin Bah and Cousin May and
Cousins Kit and Sue;
It's Cousin Blanche and Cousin Grace,
with Cousins Nan and Lou.
It's Cousins Margaret and Nell, it's COus-
ins Jean and Beck,
Until the man who grccts them all is
kissed into wreck.
Then Cousin Joe and Cousin Tom and
Cousins Dick and I3I
With Cousin George and Cousin VIII and
Cousins Bob and Fred
And Cousins Arthur, Mart and Bert.
backed up by Cousin Jake.
Quite floor the happy victim with the
hearty cousins shake
Oh. things may go to pieces in all other
bonds of life!
Health. friends with home and fortune,
may be swallowed in the strife.
All other loss may happen, all disasters
be unfurlcd-
We shall still be rich in cousins. for tbs
cousins make the world

sIc ni'ht you touched the harp beside me
.hc harp that, long unfngcrcd and unstrung,
Had silent dreamed Of hours when it was
young,
And those who loved it blithc and frail and
fair.
Beneath your careless hand faint sweet air
Leaped back to life and told with lender tongue
of loves forgot and soft the strings among
The dying music fingered like prayer.
How long the harp had waited for your hand
So long my heart lay silent till You came
How strangely sweet the strain you made to
rise
From each! And yet you cannot understand
That now can neither ever be the same.
All, love, ah, love- how slow the music dies!

That Whine.

The JOURNAL does not wish to be-
come involved in the Cook Williams
controversy farther than to ask few
questions
|, What does dissolution of part
nership prior to Dec. II, 1897, amount
to on that day if the public has not
been advised of it
,, If the Forum was then, as it is
now, no earthly account as an adver-
tlsing medium, why in the mischief
did not Williams u Fairchiid place
their Dissolution Notice" in the jour
NAL, where the business people could
see il ?
Why, gentle greenhorns, the change
of names as publisher and of office
stationery by Henry F. Cook was no
notice, even to that gentleman, of the
dissolution.
,, How could he know thereby that in
the secret councils of the seen and the
unseen that a great bustup had been
consummated
The JOURNAL pauses for a reply.
Meanwhile, Cook, keep on. The

tlons because you need help, for you,
