SONG OF THE PLAINS.
London Spectator.

Iondon Spectator.
No harp have for the singing, nor fingers
fashioned for skill,
Nor ever shall words express II, the song
that Is I'm my heart
A saga, swept from the distance, horsons
beyond the hill.
Singing of life and endurance and bidding
me bear my part.
For this song; as sing IT, the song that
love the best
The steady tramp in the furrow, the
grind of the cleaning steel,
An anthem sung to the MONDAY, a chant
OF the open west,
Echoing deep. in my spirit, to gladden. and
help and heal.
And this is life, as read it. and life in its
fairest form,
To breathe the wind on the ranges the
scent of the upturned sod.
To strive and strive and be thankful, to
weather the shine and storm,
PenCiling oyer the prairies the destiny
planned by God.
And no reward do ask for. save only to
work and wait, 10y -.
To praise the God of my fathers to labor
beneath His sky,
To dwell alone I'm His greatness, to strike
and to follow straight,

Every retail merchant in the country
will be interested in the result of u suit
that has been instituted In the United
States district court In New York by a
company which issues and redeems trading
stamps against trading stamp brokers
and merchants who buy and give out the
stamps on their own account. 1t asks
for a permanent injunction against such
dealers. 1t is alleged that the merchants
named as defendants, who are not sub
scribers to the trading stamp system, have
gone into the business on their own ac-
count by buying up old unredeemed
trading stamps issued by the regular sub
scribers and giving them out to their
customers They are enabled to buy them
at a low rate and go the subscribers to the
system one better by issuing them moro
literally. The company AYERS that its
customers are protesting against the CONF
petition to which they are subjected. and
that the ruin Of it's business is threatened
If this practice is allowed to continue. II
the company is successful in its suit IL
will restore the trading stamp business to-
its once profitable basis. II the company
fails to carry its point and the defendants
are successful, the business is doomed.

'Modish raiment' for dogs as revealed at
the dog show in Madison Square Garden
consisted of sweaters in some form or
other, 1t seems. According to a dog S
complexion is the color of his sweater, and
the fit of 1t is as perfect as any ever worn
by a sportsman or athlete. Dogs, such dogs
as win prizes in shows nowadays, wouldn't
wear garments that we're not shapely and
becoming; they know, quite as well as any
of their human friends, when they look
well and feel well in their togs. AS a con-
vincing proof of this theory there is the
attitude Of the "Duchesses" and "Prin-
cesses" in the show, who insist that lace
frills and furbelow here and there shall
contribute to the beauty of their wearing
apparel isn't that like the sex?
