"sLAME IT ON THE TRUSTS"

When the world is going wrong
Just don't let your face get long
Blame il on the Trusts
They are big enough to stand
All the troubles of the land.
So. II you should mash your hand

Come to me, an Just said

Then he said the wind and rain
Had smashed in his window pane,
An I grinned an said again.
Blame it on the Trusts
Stranger, amt had no luck.
But l don't stay in the ruck-
Blame it on the Trusts
Lost my horse an lost my COW,
Broke the handles of my plough;
Wife run Off-but I don't how
Blame II on the Trusts
What's the use to hunt a cause
For our little daily flaws

Going fishin pard. to-day,
Light my pipe an there Ill stay.

An interesting old Bible, which may have be-
Ionged to John Milton. is now exhibition in
the book store OF DOdd, Mead & Co. The volume
was undoubtedly for many wears in the possess
sion of the family of Milton's third wife. Eliza
beth Minshull. and bears her signature the
first page Of the New Testament. The names of
many Of her kin are signed in various parts of
the book. and what appears TO be a genuine au-
tograph OF the poet. originally written piece
of rough paper, is pasted inside the front cover
Although It is unfortunately impossible TO de-
terrnine whether this signature was placed there
by Milton as a sign Of ownership. or added later
for sentimental or perhaps speculative, pur-
poses. it at least adds one more to eight auto

is apnaIed at the waste Of time and money due
70 the persistent use by writer's of superhuous
and silent letters He has figured that our pres
ent absurd spelling wastes II per cent of all
the books and newspapers printed in the Eng
lsh language. and that this loss amounts an
nuallv TO some S15.O00.O00 or S20.O00OO0. But
this is as nothing to the loss Of the time now
spent IN learning TO spel-or should we write,

average two years Of every child's school life
are souandered in this manner. and that this
loss. reduced to a yearly average. amounts to
no less than three or four millions OF years
every twelve months, Spelling reformers hav-
ing failed by argument, precept and example
to simplify our photography and TO all
this time and money. Mr. Wishard proposes to
effect the desirable result by means Of Con-
gressional appropriation. He would have the
governments of the English speaking countries
give bounties to publishers TO induce them to
adopt his phonetic spelling, and has prepared
a plan by which the reform may be introduced
gradually He thinks that in three years our
spelling could be 90 simplihed that II would be
learned in half the time required. and could
DO rendered fully fonetik in two years more. To
further his propaganda he publishes bright
little quarterly" eight copies OF which are fur
nished for one year at the small price OF %
cents. He calls on the young men and women
of the country to hold meetings in schooIhouses
throughout the land and to make the exercises
entertaining well as reformatory" The
grandeur Of the idea carries him away He
