THE MACHINE SINGER.

The man who owns a photograph
Imagines that his fellow men
Are dying just to hear that tune
Over and over again.
It never seems to come to him,
The thought profound and deep,
That some of them who live hard by
Might like little sleep.
He thinks they hurry home from worl
Anticipating joys
In Sitting on their porch at night
And listening to the noise.
He turns the crank a time or two,
Sits back and let's her go,
And "Suwanee River" roams at large
And wanders to and fro.
He thinks that any noise he hears
Is meant for an encore,
And SO he winds it up again
And plays the tune once more.
He works off all the ancient tunes
And all the modern stuff
Until the poor machine must be
Inclined to cry, Enough
And when at last he chokes 1t off,
Goes in and blows the light
You know that he will open up
And play them all next night

Graft in Little Things.

Graft is not to be measured by size
alone. The little CRATER is just as
bad in his way as the big gratter who
aceumulates his thousands and hun
dreds of thousands in a manner that
will not bear scrutiny. If graft is to
be abolished the work of abolition
must permeate all branches of society,
for graft Is worse than the dandelion
or burcock, or cockleburr root
An eastern physician writes that he
has been offered a commission by the
proprietor of health resort" on
every patron sent. That is graft.
A New York physician was offered
a commission of 10 per cent. or all
business sent to a crematory firm. At
first thought this might seem like a
legitimate offer, but when one con-
siders the status Of the family physic-
ian it takes on the earmarks Of a
very contemplate bit Of graft.
Travelling men know full we'll that
a small present" will often influence

line of goods. but it is gratifying TO
know that the travelling salesmen{ are
beginning to fight that sort Of thing.
But the buyer Tho engages In It Is
guilty ,of very contemplate graft. :.
In our eagerness to abolish graft
in high places we should not over.
look the little grating" that 'abounds
on every side. Every species Of graft
must be put under the ban If the
