says a contemporary. He con-

builds a railroad without spike

He runs a butcher shop in the
journalistic world, deals out brains
cheap for cash or credit. He loves
those who advertise with him as

GREETING.

To all our friends. though far and near,
We crave your kind attention,
60 please to lend us now your ear,
While we subject mention.

On day not distant far,
If we have been correctly told,
A Handkerchief Bazar.''
So thia then is our plea in brief,
To help along our enterprise
That you shall send a handkerchief,
Regardless of its kind or size.
To be without handkerchief.
You know is quite distressing,
And SO we ask that one you'll send,
Twill surely bring a blessing.
