Once there was poor old poet M
Who had dreamed Of winning fame.
Somewhere was laurel growing
Men would wrcathe about his name.
H-O God, iifes 'ifs," whose anguish
Makes the heart dumb with its ache!
Is tits 1t any wonder
That hearts bleed and breakp
This poor poet, hungry, starving,
For the praise he sought to win,
Saw fame's doors swing wide to welcome
Many younger brother in,
While he waited at the portal,
Where his entrance was denied
Till his heart broke with his sorrow
Broke. and SO he diedi
Who can read fate's riddle for mc7
Caring nothing more for fame,
Suddenly the world was ringing
With the poor old poets name,
And men reared a shaft OF marble
Over him and carved beneath
Sculptured grief his name and crowned II
With laurel wreath.
Yesterday heard some children
Who were playing in the street
One OF the dead poets poems
In their merry games repeat,
And thought it sweeter tribute
To the poor old poet. dead,
Than the praise Of those who gave
Stone when asked for breadl

English Restaurants.

Americans when they first come
over to this country can rarely quite
tumble to the peculiarities of our
English restaurants. A wealthy
Yankee friend of mine who was over
here little while ago to complete
the formation of an important linn
tied liability company thought it
would be good thing to invite all
those concerned in London to lunch
con one day. Accordingly he went
to the manager of one of the most
celebrated of our fashionable res
taurants and after engaging a pri-
vate room gave instructions that no
expense should be spared to make
the meal a astronomical success,
the only proviso being that he
should select his own wines.
Everything passed off splendidly
until the cigar and coffee stage was
reached, and the host asked that his
bill might be brought to him. He
assured me that he had never felt
smaller in his life than when the
head waiter, in the hearing of the
assembled company, approached
him and in loud voice asked, "And
how many breads have you had,
sir3" just as though | had been
busily engaged in counting up how
many rolls my guests had eatenl"
was the pertinent remark my friend |
made on recounting the experience
to me afterward OF course in /
America no charge is made at all
for bread. Why is the custom not |

Bachelors have hard time in the
Argentine Republic. There a law
infiicts fine upon any person of
marriageable age who rejects pro-
posal. Here is the statute: People
OF manageable age of either sex
who refuse an offer to owed without
reasons which are considered valid
in law shall not be permitted to mar
ry thereafter without the permis-
sion of the government. They shall,
moreover, pay an indemnity sum of
not more than f100 to the person
whose offer they have refused.
Young men and women under 20
years old are exempt from the law
and can marry as they please. Aft
er they are 26 the men are obliged
to pay a heavy tax if they remain
single. The women propose as we'll
as men, so an unmarried young man
between 20 and 2S years old in that
country has a troublesome time.
Not only is he made to pay a tax
for being a bachelor, but if he re-
fuses proposal he has to pay the
proposer fine. Naturally, there
are few old maids in Argentina

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FREE.

One of the Grandest Offers Ever Made.
The first five persons procuring the
Endless Chain Starch Book from their
grocer will each obtain one large 10c
package Of RED Cross" starch, one
large 1Oc package Of "Hubinger's Best"
starch, two Shakespeare pictures print
ed in twelve beautiful colors, as natur-
al as life, or one Twentieth Century
Girl calendar, the finest Of its kind

fer is only made for a short time to
further introduce the famous RED
Cross" starch and the celebrated "Hu-
binger's Best" cold water starch. RED
Cross" laundry starch is something en-
tirely new, and is without doubt the
greatest invention Of the twentieth
century. 1t has no equal, and surpasses
all others. It has won for itself praise
from all parts OF the United States. 1t
has superseded everything heretofore
used, or known to science In the laun-
dry art. It is made from wheat, rice
and corn, and is chemically prepared
upon scientific principles by Mr.. J. c.
Hubinger, an expert in the laundry
profession, who has had twenty-five
years practical experience in fancy
laundering, and who is the first sue
cessful and original inventor Of all fine
grades Of starch in the United States.

RED Cross" and "Hubinger's Best"
which are the finest starches on the
market today.
The jobbing houses all handle it, the
retail grocer has it on his shelves, you
find it in all the homes, while the care
full housewife has adorned the walls Of
the home with the beautiful Shakes
peare pictures which are being given
away in introducing RED Cross" and
"Hubinger's Best" starch.
