ULTIMA VERrrA6.

In the bitter waves Of WOO,
Beaten and tossed about
BY the sullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores of doubt
When the anchors that faith had cast
Are dragging in the gale,
I am quietly holding fast
To the things that cannot fang
I know that right is right;
That 1t is not good to lie; tti
That love is better than spite, III.
And a neighbor than a spy, 3oM
I know that passion needs iAlti
The leash of sober mind: is,s&s
I know that generous deeds E4t'si
some sure reward Will hn"' ~
That the rulers must obey;
That the 3ivers shall increase:
That Duty lights the way
For the beautiful feet of Peace
In the darkest night of the year.
When the stars have all gone out,
That courage rs better than fear,
That faith Is truer than doubt;
And fierce though the flends may night
And long though the angels hide.
I know that Truth and Right
Have the universe on their side;
And that somewhere beyond the stars,
Is Love that is better than fate;
When the night unlocks her bars
1 shall see Him, and I will wait.

Teas are nothing more than five o'clock whiskies, that's what one or the greatest temperance advocates in America says. Well, if such is the case (and we have no reason for doubt). it's a pretty how do you do, to use TEA for a blind. Such hypo- critics should not be tolerated. If you attend five o'clock teas and whiskey is served, just assert your rights and inform the people who invited you there that you want no fiim-fam game played on you See that there is nothing stronger than tea served, and if possible try and have them buy the tea at our store, then you'll get the good kind. Say, if whiskey at 15c per glass will kill you quickly, and 10c whiskey will kill you more quick ly, what on earth will 5c whiskey do to you? However. some people will drink it. Then again, if tea or coffee is served at your table and it's any thing but nice tasting, you don't relish it. Who can blame you if you raise kick" then and there? Goodness knows soc per pound is reasonable for delicious nice tasting tea. partieu- larly when a pound will make 15 gal Ions of as nice a drink as you could wish for, and that's the quality we sell Remember, we give bars of the very best laundry soap in the market with each pound of our warranted good quality soc tea.

Yesterday was the nineteenth
birthday of Fritz, the library bird.
Fritz has been one of the finest of
trick birds in his time, doing such
tricks as sliding down the cellar
door, marching with hisgun, hollow
ing down the rain barrel, dancing
and even tried to stand on his head.
But old age is telling on him, and
while he is not so much of an
acrobat nov, he still makes the
room ring with musical voice.

STORYETTES.


John Sherman lost his first posi-
ton in a surveyors party when he
had reached the age of Is. Then
it was that he INDUCED in his fret
speculation-one of the few that
to him were unsuccessful.
Salt was cheap in the head
waters of the Muskingum river,
and it commanded fancy prices in
Cincinnati. it seemed to young
Sherman that it would be a good
chance to put his little capital
into salt, place the barrels in a
small, fiat -bottomed boat, and let
it float down to Cincinnati, making
good thing out Of the salt, as
we'll as getting back what the boat
would cost him. This is the de-
scription Of the speculation that is
given by a native of Sherman's
birthplace:
"Well, he got along all right the
day ne started. Long after dusk
he tied up for the night, but there
came up such an awful cold snap
that night that the river friz up
SOS John couldn't make a start till
mornin'.
"That wasn't the worst of it,
nuther. The cold spell KEEP up.
the ice got thicker an thicker, an
the long an short of it was that
John had to lie there till spring
an build a roof over his cargo to,
save it from bein' spoiled by the.
winter rains. Come spring, he got
along to Cincinnati, but by that
time the city was full of salt, an
he had to sell out at loss, an
lose all his time, besides" -Phila-

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY MAUD.

Maud Muller a summer night
Stood in the glare Of big arc light.
With her rake in hand she out for wealth.
For Maud lady of excellent health
Judge along high grade bike,
He judge Of whisky, cigars and the like.
And Maud spotted him for easy pie,
And threw him the high -sign and goo-goo eye.
"Get next to that gay young darymaid''
Said the Judge, land she wants me! Well, who's araid?"
So after some airy persifage,
Maud gave his wallet thorough massage
In dgnifed, yet ladylike way,
She raked that mellow, sweet old jay
Till his clothes free of dollars and cents
AS maple from buds winter reIents.
Then she shook that Judge and went her way,
Assured of his virtue for many day.
Now the Judge sticks close to his farm in N. j.,
But the gentle maid still rakes Broadway.
