RHYME AND REASON.

Would you live life of ease,
Nothing to dO-nobody to please.
Plenty to eat-money to burn,
Never W. sh to do a body good turn.
But simply to loiter on life's way,
And never to work-only to play
You'd be a deal worse than sot
Lying in the gutter only to rot.
Many who wish a life of the kind.
Think they are wise, soon they would find.
That an idle life never has gains,
For the mind not active ever has pain.
We are formed for tempest and calm,
But life of Indifference, floating with
stream,
Caring for no one is a miserable dream.
So never attempt 50 weary waste
To throw away diamonds for paste,
But live the old, old story,
Work, Work for love and glory

There are special bargain tables near
the front of the store on which are
placed quantities of Sc and 10c.
goods that are sold at ridiculously low
prices. Look for these tables the next
time you come in. One half hour spent
in this way and the purchasing of so
cents or dollars worth of goods cannot
help but please and put many useful
articles in the home.

ance to this city and it is the purpose of this paper

paper 1t is estimated that already there are 10000
mechanics engaged in the building industries in the
city and when material is at hand and the debris
has been cleared away that branch of labor alone
will be augmented many fold SO it will be in other
lines of industry.
This vast number cap rest assured that the de
partment which is inaugurated today will cover
matters Of deep interest to them For this purpose
The Cali has decided to fair share of its
space Nothing Of Importance to labor unions will

department will not be restricted to the local labor
field, but will include reports of labor throughout
the entire country The mechanic is bound to play
an important part in the upbuidng of city,

tion from metropolitan newspaper that is shown

BY A. ]. WATERHOUsE


Unto a very wise queen a son had
been born, and his fairy gedmother
had Travelled a long way in a special
car in order to be present at the christ
ening of the little prince.
Il am a good deal puzzled" the fairy
godmother remarked to the queen,
concerning what gift to bestow on the
little pootsy- dear Of course,
if he were a little older 1 should give
either pair of slippers or a necktie,
these being from time immemoria1 gen
tie woman's gifts to her masculine
friends, but he is too young to work
off anything of that sort on him, with
the expectation of receiving a. diamond
ring or something of that kind in re-
turn; so L really feel that L am up
against it, Still, 1 have a choice as
sortment of gifts from which to Sc
lect"
Lets hear the inventory of them, y
the queen observed.
Wei, there's genius. How de you
think he would like that?"
''It involves hard work doesn't it?''
You bet it does, if it ever amounts
to anything"
Hes prince, you know. and-guess
we'd pass that"
There's talent"
Same objection applies, does it not?'
1T sure does
Pass again"
There's beauty"
HE wouldn't be worth a whoop for
anything else Let's have new deal"
What do you say to wealth."
His pa already owns a barrel Of oil
stock and has packing house, with
scraps of meat and rope enough to
make sausage for years to come
We'll, there is something else which
/ frequently takes the place of all that j
/ have mentioned; that is. it does SO in
/ the popular estimation but I cannot
/ give it to your popsy-wopsy unless you
! can guess what it is
! So the queen, who was a wise old
dame, put on her best thinking cap
which had cost $3.50 in Paris, and pre-
pared to guess.
You say that it takes the place OF
! genius?7 she inquired
''In the frequent estimation of the
world, 1 said"
And of talent?'
Same remark applies"
And of good looks. and of wealth.

A bright smile shene upon the coun-
tenarce of the queen
Il haven't" she said. been travelling
| through this vale of tears thirtysiN
years'-she really was Sc years Old
mot to be able now to guess that SORT
of conundrum."
What do you think it is?" the fairy
! godmother asked
oh. it is dead easy. There is only
one thing in the world that fills that
sort of a bill"
What is it?"
Plenty of nerve and shining ca
pacity for butting in"
It's yours" the fairy godmother ex
ultantly remarked. you've won out"
SO the baby prince was given more

APPROVES THE COURSE
TAKEN BY THE MAYOR

To the Editor of The Call:
The daily harping and abuse of May
or Schmitz by a local newspaper for
being a party to and allowing the
United Railroads the use of the trolley
upon Market and other streets after
1T has been indorsed by the majority
OF the citizens and in operation has
made the Mayor more friends than
enemies 1t must be apparent to
every one as the most contemptible
spite work, The trolley was the only
available recourse to resume street car
trahc to and from the ferries. The
Mayor is all right and / think all he
ne has done is fully appreciated.
ihe car service at its best is miser-
aole; hard on passengers and the con-
auctors, what with the jamming,
squeezing and erowding, and / do not
peleve 70 per cent of the fares are
collected. The cars are not built
right; the whole business is wrong
me cars ought to have more seating
