Here is rather a good story, which
has also the merit of being trne. A
large firm in Aberdeen recently engaged
as Office boy a raw country youth. 1t
was part Of his duties to attend to the
telephone in his masters absence.
When first called upon to answer the
bell, in reply to the usual query. "Are
you there7'' he nodded assent. Again
the question came and still again, and
each time the boy gave an answering
nod. When the question came for the
fourth time. however. the boy, losing his
temper, roared through the telephone:
''Man, a. ye bin I've been noddin

HER LOOK.

Time may set his fingers there,
Fix the smiles that curve about
Her winsome mouth. and touch her hair,
Put the curves Of youth to rout,
But the something" God put there,
That which drew me to her first,
Not the imps of pain and care,
Not all sorrows fends accurst,
Can kill the look that God put there
Something beautiful and rare,
Nothing common can destroy
Not all the leaden load of care,
Not all the dross of earth's alloy.
Better than all fame or gold,
True as only Gods own truth,
1t is something all hearts hold
Who have loved once in their youth.
That sweet look her face doth hold
Thus will ever be to me;
Joy may all her pinions fold,
Care may come and misery;
Through the days of murk and shine.
Though the roads be foul or fair.
will see through loves glad eye
That sweet look that God put there.

THE POETS SONG.
\ bird Of richest song few out

A bird Of richest song few out
And piped his carol full of cheer,
And long he winged his way about,
But few would wait his song to hear.
With sorrow, in his lonely nest,
He hid his sweet song in his breast
But some had heard that song Of Joy;
1t came and soothed the pangs Of pain,
Gave hope where doubt rose to destroy;
Despairing souls tried once again.
II lifted hearts all tempest tossed
That song, though stilled, was never lost
A poet, no one knew him then,
Sang out his carol full of cheer,
OF hope and faith and love for men,
But few would wait his song to hear.
The poet He is deadl But yet
The songs he sang no hearts forget
