Blasted His Life.

The strong man buried his face I'm
his hands.
His powerful frame that had braved
the clements and the iceman trembled
like loose board on a barn door.
a great sorrow had come into his
life mbidden as poor relation at a
family dinner or a small boy at the
side entrance of n circus.
He was disappointed man. Money
had flowed into his lap like beer into
an alderman. His wife had retained
her beauty. His home was all that
man could wish whose wisher was not
broken. lie had stocks and bonds and
ten dogs, but now came a great disap.
pontment into his life.
His only son, his namesake, the boy
ON whom he had builded his hopes and
on whom he had lavished his money
at barber shops and merry go rounds,
had failed to make good.
Failed in his first undertaking. and
how he stood with downcast eyes at
his fathers side.
His wife tried to comfort him by tell
ing him that one of the horses had
broken its leg and that the gas bill
was overdue. but he waved her aside
with gesture that was almost bru-
tai.
His agony was pitiable.
He raised his head and looked at the
boy and then at crumpled bit of pa
per in his hand.
His voice trembled.
"Oh, it is terriblew he said. ut win
drive me mad. Here is our little Geor.
gle of whom we were so proud. We
thought he was as bright as other
boys. We even dared to hope that he
was brighter, but the illusion is over.
lie will never be great and famous.
Eight years old and here is his first
composition on horse in which he
does not say that Il has four legs"
And the man once mort buried his
face in his hands.

COLD CASH CONOUERS.
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

In ladies' Wei h a million
We kindly overlook
Things that are scOrned in girls adorned
With no fat poCketbook:
We never ask if they can sew
And mend and scrub and cook.
A million yellow dollars
Make up for several things;
We do not care how red her hair, -
How wretchedly she sings II
If she can make the money fly y
That takes the place of wings. ~
Although her face is homcly. \
About third grade her wit.
And she has feet that will compete
With box cars. what of it?
Her bunch of money helps her make
steam pile driver hit.
Oh. ladies. guard your beauty!
Make up your gowns for show;
Be modest. sweet, demure and neat
And curl your hair just so.
But if you'd be the main GaZelle
BE Mamie with the dough.

Where the Losers Win.

For those who win the world has praise.
The poets sing in measured lays
Their virtues and their sturdy worth:
This salt that savoreth the earth.
For those who lose the busy throng
Has neither word of praise nor song.
But those who fail don't think it rough.
Provided they fail for enough.
The man who fails don't need hot air;
He's ever after free from care;
Lives with his family sleek and hale.
If he can for a million fail.

A POPPY CORNER.

stem stitch. This poppy design, work
rd in reds and greens on a yellow or
pale blue linen. would be very effective.
Table covers and tea cloths are not
the only uses to which this corner can
be applied, 1t would be very pretty for
particularly If one worked large inl-
tiaiS in the middle.
The corner could be used for cush-
ion cover with initials or monograms
in the middle. and 1t would also do
for large newspaper cover. For
workbag it could also be used very
suitably

knitting needle. The stick should be
twice as long as the spool and should
pass easily through the spool hole, al
lowing the spool to turn on it swiftly.
Wind the ribbon on the spool. Tack
the stick to one cup, insert through the
spool hole and tack the other end to
the other cup. A piece of ribbon should
be held at both outside ends by the
tack to form hanger. The baby rib
bon will unroll easily when pulled
through the space between the balls.
A clever woman will think out many
little novelties which will adapt them
selves to the ball treatment, but the
above suggestions may be of service
to the bewildered searcher for "some-
thing nice and cheap to make"

Design For IA Tea Cloth and How to

A pretty corner design for tea cloth
or table cover for Christmas is pop

design on n table cover is to applique
the flowers and buds in red turkey
twill. work lines up them in stem
stitch and embroider the leaves in green
long and short stitch. using for that
purpose several shades of fax or silk.
Another way would be to do the
entire design in outline. Stem or rope

or not far from l2,o5c as well as persistent bad
crop reports from various sections Of the cotton

accumulated that the short Interest had grown
unwieldy. The receipts were large but for the time
