Labor.

Toll swings the axe, and forests bow.
The seeds break out in radiant bloom,
Rich harvests smile beneath the plow.
And cities cluster round the loom;
Where towering domes and tapering
spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout Labor lights it's beacon fires
And plumes with smoke the forge and
mill.

A Petition By the
Worker.

These are the gifts l ask
OF Thee, Spirit serene:
Strength for the daily task,
Courage to face the road,
Good cheer to help me bear the travellers
load;
And, for the hours of rest that come be-
tween,
An inward Joy in all things heard and
seen.
These are the things fain
Would have Thee take away:
Malice and cold disdain,
Hot anger, sullen hate,
Scorn Of the lowly, envy of the great,
And discomfort that casts shadow gray
On all the brightness Of common day.
Pride may go before fall, but 1t is
just then that the right kind of pride puts
a man upon his feet again.

Great Business Axioms,

Though Marshall Field, the greatest
merchant in the world, has been dead
slightly over year, his business philoso-
ply will long endure among the men Of
the nation.
Never give note.
Never borrow.
Work always on cash basis.
Never buy a share of stock on margin.
Buy for cash and sell for short time.
Never heavily mortgage real or person
al property.
Hold customers to strict enforcement OF
their contracts.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-09

studying each business requirement Let
them bring to each merchant several
changes Of copy" |. e., set of new
ads that are more crisp, catchy and more
appealing to the public. Small merchants
have not the time to frame their own
ads even If they have the ability, neither
have they the money to hire a regular
advertising man. A young man who wishes
to test his abilities In this line may Sc
cure five or six merchants who will pay
enough-in the aggregate-to recompense
the beginner for advertising after his
regular working or studying hours.
But above all, If you would be an ad-
vertising solicitor have tact, magnetism
and persistency, IL you would be an ad-
vertisement writer have an artistic eye
for type display and a knowledge Of hu-
man nature coupled at all times with
new ideas.
