NATIONAL DEPART
MENT STORE.

The national department store,
Extends from sea TO sea:
OF everything TO eat and wear
It's full as IL can be.
A list OF all IL has In stock
Would reach from Portland. Maine
To Tampa. Florida, and back
TO Portland once again.
There's cotton from the Southern states
And watermelons fine,
And luscious peaches, velvet pink.
And yellow Georgia pine,
New Jersey silk and Texas beer
And Minnesota flour
And cider from Vermont 10 drink,
With apples sweet and sour
There's California apricots.
The best you ever ate,
And cranberries from old Cape Cod,
Like rubies In a crate
And Louisiana sugar cane
And salmon from the lakes
And buckwheat from ten thousand nelds
To furnish us with cakes.
There's silver, gold and copper ore,
The treasure Of the soil,
And sapphires from Montana rocks
And Pennsylvania oil,
Fresh water pearls or luster mt
To decorate a queen
And from Alaska sealskin furs
OF rich and glossy sheen.
From every land across the deep
In crowds they come and buy
For with the goods OF Uncle Sam
No other shop can vie,
Beneath the same old starry sign
our patriot fathers bore
The nation carries on today
A big department store.

NAMES AND LAW.

Speaking generally the law OF England
allows a person to assume and use any
name. provided its use Is not calculated
TO deceive or inlct pecuniary loss. So
the court OF appeals laid down the law In
Dockreil against Dougall and this atti-
tude OF the law. the Law Journal remarks,
ls characteristic OF our British love OF
liberty. French law is much more strict.
It forbids any citizen 10 bear any name
other than that which is expressed In the
registry of his birth or 10 add any sur
name TO his proper name. German law Is
the same. only IL goes a little further In
imposing a penalty on any one giving a
