A SPECIALIST.

a specialist is a man who know.
something about great many
things and a great deal about one
thing. He is not an authority on
many things, but is necessarily one
on the one thing. This is the dav
OF the specialist. Our complex civ.
llization demands the best in all
lines OF human activity. There is
not much room in the crowded path
OF the unskilled al unframed but
there is plenty of room for tho
specialist-thc man that can do one
thing thoroughly well. There is
no place in the great world of action
that more strongly demands the
skill OF the specialist than does the
prescription department of a modern
and up-to-date drug store. The
cure OF the patient and the good
reputation OF tbs physician depend
IN no small degree upon the skill Of
the prescription clerk. He should
know his business and should have
the very highest sense of honor
these arc our ideas upon a very i'm
portant subject. Great care and
SKILL together with sincere honesty !
o1 purpose enter into our work in
our prescriptions department. We
10 not try to sec how cheaply we
nay compound our prescript 'ons
'ut how well. The very best and
'urest OF drugs and the most care
III compounding play an important
'art with us. We charge fair
roht for our work, no more, no I,
ess.

An epidemic Of matrimony with
.horus-girls has broken out again In
he British peerage, states the Argo-
aant. Three young lords and a mar
1uis are depicting the stage OF the
iame theatre. Contrary to the recent
announcement by the solicitor OF an
,ther peer that as soon as he married
IN American heiress his debts would
be paid, these theatrical alliances can
have no financial motive. Yet the
:horus-girl marriages seem to turn
out as well as those arranged on pure
Iy business principles. And marriages
out OF their own circle keep the Brit
;sh peerage more virile than the Con-
;inental nobility with their intermin-
able quarterings.

Wildcat Jumps on Engine.


While Engineer Ed White and Fire
man Harry Ahern were speeding
through the Palisade Canyon with a
freight train at night they were
startled by large wildcat landing
suddenly on their engine.
The animal emitted blood curdling
cry as it landed, and when the dust
cleared away they saw the angry
beast only few feet away glaring at
them. The two men seized weapons
with which to beat off the animal, but
it made no show of fight, leaping from
the flying train to the ground. 1t
rolled a dozen feet before it stopped,
but apparently it was unhurt as 1t
scampered away immediately.-Winne.

What's the Use7


we stew and fret and toll and sweat
And try TO win name,
We strive for years with many tears
To win a little fame,
And by and by We up and die
And all Is just the same
So what's the use?
We all grow old in search of gold
And slave our lives away,
We sell our souls for greenback rolls
And barter love for pay:
And by and by we up. and die
And then we turn to clay
So what's the use?
For love we cry for love we sighs
To love we fondly cling,
And vince at Cupld's sting,
And by and by we up and die
And everything taxes wing
So what's the use?
We join the race for social place
And hope at last to shine
And spend our cash to cut q dash
And when We get in line,
Why, by and by We up and die.
We're planted meath the vine"
So what's the use?
Just do your best and. leayc the rest
To cate or what you Will.
Co piay your parts and break your hearts
And drink Of life your fill.
For by and by you'll up and die.
And all your hopes be nil
