her arm with such a grip that it hurts,
rumples her sleeve and pushes it up
from her wrist. Sometimes they grab
her hand, and she has urgent need of
both hands to hold on to her skirt and
to the side of the car. Now, all she
desires is that they gently but firmly
slip one hand under her arm simply

Z pared q cobbler,s shop upon the street,
And paused moment at the doorstep,
where,
In natures medley. piping cool and sweet.
The songs that thrill the swamps when
spring is near,
Fly DER the fields at fullness of the year,
And twitter where the autumn hedges run,
Joined all the mouths OF music into one.
I shut my eyes; the hermit thrush was
there,
And all the leaves hung still to catch his
spell;
Wrens cheeped among the bushes; from
somewhere
A blue birds tweedle falteringly fell;
From rustling corn bob-white his name did
tell;
heard the oriole set his full heart free;
And barefoot boyhood rushed again to me.
The vision-bringer hung upon nail
Before a dusty window, looking dim
On marts where trade waxed hot with box
and bale;
The sad-eyed passers had no time for him.

For now, when every songster finds his

Don't judge of men by the money
they own, but by their keen sense of
debt and the promptness with which
men who are only worth few thous.
and dollars, pay their debts the day
they are due, and there is more salts
faction in transacting business with
them than with others worth hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars, who are
slow pay. This ia true of corpora
tions also. 1t Ia therefore as safe to
do business with The Mississippi Home

has many millions, because it has o
twenty years record of prompt pay

came back and the next week |
worked six days and the company paid
me ST.. 90 dollars, and if | could have
