NOTHING LIKE THE OLD.
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

No matter how long the parade may
string out,
How brightly the torches may flame;
No matter how loudly the marchers sing
out
Their favorite candidates name,
And though the paraders wear rags that
are glad
And step to the music with joy,
It can't hold a match to parades hal
they had
When Uncle Bill Stiles was a boy.
He looks down the line with a critical eye
And sizes it up In his mind
And says the parade is a mile or two shy
OF the regular old fashioned kind.
The torches they carried in that ancient
date
Made lamps of the moderns a toy
Compared with the others. he'd beg leave
to state,
When Uncle Bill Stiles was a boy.
oh. yes, the professions they had in those
days
Were really a soul stirring sight
lust think of the miles upon miles of dis
plays -.
And the long shouting columns OF light!
The struggling, half hearted parades thai
we meet
Now serve but to fret and annoy
Compared with the masses that moved
down the street
When Uncle Bill Stiles was a boy.

Self Confidence.

A certain amount of self confidence
Is necessary to success In life. FOL
instance, if a man thinks he can't
ride a broncho he can't, whereas II he
springs into the saddle with no mis-
givings he is liable to remain there
all of a minute and a half before in
vestigating the neighboring cactus
plant to see if it is composed OF good
material for a sofa pillow.
If a man does not think that a girl
will marry him, she will not unless 1t
is leap year, and perhaps not then If
she has any one else in sight.
The intrepid general who burns his
bridges behind him, first having made
arrangements with the bridge con-
tractor for a rakeoff, is the n that
writes his name in red ink on the pages
of history.
The lesson to the young is this: Be
lieve you can do a thing or a man, and
the chances are that you can If he is
not looking.

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

Perhaps a horse wants to run away
when he sees IN automobile just to
prove that there are other s%corchers.
When a man is too poor to keep a

The EyeIashes,

Do not clip your eyeiashes with the
idea of improving them. By this treat
ment they are often made stubby and
coarse. You should also be careful, If
you wear glasses, that they do not
press against the lashes and so stunt
their growth.
