Spring, summer, autumn and win

man sees them" said school teacher
few days ago.
The boy has another way of divid'
ing the year, however, and, while he
does not watch the seasons Of his year
on a calendar above his desk, he
never forgets them. His. division is
marbles, ball, shinney and skating
Marbles come in place of spring, base
ball in summer, shinney in the fall
and skating in the winter~ You can

TOOK THE FIRMS TRADEMARKS


A Minnesota Touring mill company
has recently had an experience in Hol-
land which will not only make 1t more
careful in the future but will serve as a
warning to other concerns to pay
strict attention to the protection of its
own brands of -four under the pecu-
liar registration laws of Holland.
For number of years the company
alluded to sold one concern In Am
sterdam under one of its mill brands, a
name made famous both in this coun-
try and abroad by years Of quality and
advertising, and to another concern In
Rotterdam. under another mill brand,
also well advertised and generally
known.
Not long ago 1t occurred to the mill
that 1t would be good idea to regis
ter its brands in foreign countries,
and 1t proceeded to do so. 1t then
discovered that it's Dutch correspond
ents had both registered its brand in
their own names. 1t requested them
to transfer the registration to the mill
name. This was positively refused.
Thus the mill Is actually deprived OF
the use of its own brands unless 1t
sells to the two concerns and no one
else.
Under the laws of Holland these
former representatives could prevent
the mill shipping flour to other parties
under its own established brand
Other Minnesota mills have had the
same unpleasant experience.

Street Sweeping Not Altogether q
Bid for Charity.

A merchant in a Scotch city used
to give an old crossing sweeper six
pence every Saturday. One day he
discovered he had given him half a
sovereign by mistake. So he hurried
back to the crossing. The sweeper
said in reply to question: will
you come, SIR, after four o'clock to
this address, and will see II you
are right about the COIN"
The merchant did so, and found Z
small once and two clerks busy at
work. Presently the sweeper ap-
peared, but oh, so altered. He was
dressed neatly and looked q business
man.
"Oh. yes" he said to the aston
iShed merchant, you were correct.
Our receipts to-day were about ten
shillings more than usual, SO here ia
your half sovereign" As the mer
chant left the ONCE, vowfng he would
never give to the rogue again, the
sweeper called after him: You've
forgotten your usual sixpence, sir"
