'I have asked dozen or more mer- chants this week the somewhat stereo- typed question: How is businesg and in every case the reply has been to the effect that trade was looking up,' said a man about town
 Tn the first week of January the stores looked dull, but now there seem to be many shoppers. The wintry weather we have experienced has greatly stimu- lated the clothing business and on the whole merchants will have little or no cause to complain of the volume of busi- ness between this time and spring"

A youth came out of a certain academic hall with a spirit of high resolve He also had 8, diploma.
 Casting his eyes toward the dizzy stars for night in the meantime had come upon the earth like a velvet pall-he swore that he would go into the poetry business. Two years elapse. (Please keep your seats.)
 We are ushered into a garrett It is the coroner, dark man, who precedes us. There on the floor, without a crust of bread or glass of water, lies the fair haired, mystic poet He is dead-com- pletely dead.
 The floor is strewn with sheets of man. uscript and printed slips of paper which bear the terse and heart-breaking legend, The editor regrets" It is pathetic sight and one that well deserves a tear. And to think says the coroner, the dark man, that he might now be draw ing S25 a week as a chauffeur with the chance of eloping with a rich mans daughter. if he hadn't taken a fool mo- tion to go into the poetry buslness!"
 THE TIME TO GIVE UP. When a woman starts to crying That's mans best time for signing. For he then must call her honey" Offer furs and hats and money. If he plays the role of piker, Then she'll say he doesn't like her Thus it is woman's sobbing
 
 Has the same effect as robbing.
