Self Improvement.

Is 1t asked how can the laboring man
find time for self culture? I answer
that an earnest purpose finds time or
makes 1t. 1t seizes on spare moments
and turns fragments to golden nc
count A man who follows his calling
with industry and spirit and uses his
earnings economically will always
have some portion Of the day at COM
mand And 1t Is astonishing how
fruitful OF improvement short season
becomes when eagerly seized and
faithfully used. A single hour in the
day steadily given to the study Of some
interesting subject brings unexpected
accumulations of knowledge.-William m

But wait and see

But able prophets slip a cog.

Built on some foxy votes Of straw
And guaranteed to prove his case.
May seem a winner on its face.

A forecast true.
But when returns begin to speak
His prophecy may spring a leak.
It's easy with a pen and pad
To put one party TO the bad,
To figure for the other side

With pen and ink
Returns to shrink
Before the voters get n chance
To do their little song and dance.
Advance statistics can be made
BY any one who knows the trade.
But there may be n missing link
Whose ticket calls for one moro think.
The voters may
Refuse to play
And SO the guessers lose the bet.
