CLERKS HALF HOLIDAY
Comes 10 an End This Last Week
 of August.

This afternoon was the last half holiday for the stores this summer. The proprietors agreed to close On Tuesday afternoons during July and August and with the beginning of the month the clerks will labor full time during the week. Although there was an effort made during the sum mer to have the stores close on Satur- day afternoon instead of Tuesday. It did not meet with favor among the store owners. consequently 1t did not materialize. Nevertheless the hard ware stores were determined to close on Saturday afternoon and did so. The claim was made that with the closing of the stores on Saturday af- ternoon the clerks would have a chance to get away to the shore until Monday and the half holiday would be appreciated.

It Is nog long since the whole network of wires dropped to the pavement. and ai- though it happened at noon. nolody was hurt. All these things empha- size the danger Of the overhead trol- ley wire and suggests the query: Why do Municipalities approve such men- aces to life and limb when they have the power to compel trolley compan- les to use the underground system.

Teaching Girls to Write Letters.

Letter writing has ever held faS-
cinatiun for many people. and when one
has a particular gift of writing with
interest letter is really something
valuable to the recipient. The custom
of writing long, pOetcal illusions, and
the kind which some of the old poets
wrote to friends and sweethearts has
given place to other attractions and
easier methods of communication But
children love letterWritiug. and there
are few who do not take the keenest
delight III both writing and receiving
episties. let IL is surprising what some
letters will contain from Young girls
who really are good scholars yet lack
all expression when it comes 10 writing
down ideas Real chatty little girls will
compose the most uninteresting letters
while they can write good compositions
at school. OF course, the fault is due to
the lack Of training. Every mother

holds good until the girl is her own
mistress.
Letter-writing is an art and must he
taught. See that the expressions are
dramatically correct. that there is
something Of interest in the letter. that
the penmanship is good, and Stiffness
eliminated. Slang expressions i'm a letter
sound harsh and unrcfined as an oath
from a w0man's lips. yet many girls use
slang expressions when writing and all

A question.
TReprintcd by Request
Would you forget me, should | go
And live where only thoughts could reach
Beyond your touch, your sight, your
speech
Nor write you for a year or so!
You might feel pity-vaGue regret
lust for a time-and then, forget:
Would You remember, all the years
We were together! June and spring
The opening bud, the blossoming-
Smiles, quarrels, laughter, love and tears.
All the dear scenes since first we met
You would not, could not quite forget:

Seems only fair when you are by:
Though winters storms have blurred the
sky
II seems that June sc born again
Think know you love me Yet.
If | were gone, should you forget?
And should come again, and find
Your soul had scarcely missed me! Sweet.
As strangers should we chance to meet
With all of love and youth behind
LIES fires would die-Life's sun would
set
Were we so faithless-to forget?
That. from my empty soul. had passed
The memory of our vows at last.
Your soft, warm touch, your little face
l would be silent, love, nor let
You guess that | could thus forget!
Could you then, though the years dawn
gray,
Still feel the same? Nor let your heart
Grow callOus. should we be apart:

The doubt that makes my eyes so wet
For neither Of us could forget

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

Fault finding is responsible for many
broken friendships.
The giving of undue credit may do
morc harm than good.
a self-estimate always is subject to
