A Burbanker.

A farmer who was up-to-date,
In tones of glee once said:
Il shall not bank my celery;
I'll Burbank it instead
You should have seen the crop he raised
Most celery just stalks,
But his could run, and leap, and Jump
About the garden walks.
Nor with it could person find
The slightest bit of fault;
Among its wel-blanched leaves there grew
Salt-cellars full of salt.
The farmer who was up-to-date,
In tones of glee then said:
81 shall not bank my money now;
I'll Burbank it instead.
You should have seen what happened then
With interest it grew;
You have to draw most money, but
His painted, sketched, and drew.
He never had to raise it, for
It raised ITSELF you see;
1t sprouted one fine pension and
A large annuity.
And so the farmer up-to-date,
In tones of glee then said:
"When you desire to bank thing,
lust Burbank it instead"

despatched it to the publisher. Editha was hurt.
and, think deeply hurt, though she was too
high-souled to complain by the fact that he
had not shown her single poem in it. Before
she had been his constant confdante and ad-
wiser in matters poetical, and had always striven
for, like Homer he had sometimes nodded
to keep him at his highest level of grave serious
ness.
few days later | suffered another shock,
I was walking in Our little town with him, when
a mulatto woman passed u.s. He gripped my
arm and CRIED Good heavens, Hickman What

blood ran cold [ turned and fairly dragged
him along homewards
We had just reached home and were enter
ing the house, when the sound of hurried foot
steps made me pause and turn my head. A
dapper little man with very pale face, carrying
a package under his arm, was opening the gar
den gate.
Halo, here's Blick," said Bellamy Grst, and
I caught ring of discomfort in his tone.
The publisher skipped up to us in the hall
and, without a word of greeting, cried, Mr..
Grist What does this mean? What does this
mean%
"What does what mean?" said Bellamy Grst.
"This book-this dreadful bookp cried the
publisher.

lamy Grist, cheerfully, and he opened the door
of his study and we all went in
"The matter! The matterp cried Blick.

and this is humorous It must be humorous!
Ali our readers think it's humorous!
"Well, if this doesn't beat the Dutch!' said
Bellamy Grist grinned at hirn-an angry grin
Blick turned over the leaves of the manu-
script quickly, and cried, "But-but this Ode
to Ripe Bananar And this poem, The Joys
of Nuts!' And-and-this one, Up Tree!
And this one-where is it ?-here-'Freedom
all about freedom fronl-from insects!'
"Well, what's the matter with them? They're
all right" said Beamy Grist, tartly.
''But we didn't want this kind of thing We
wanted poetry-serious poetry-the-the noble
sort of stuff the American market expects from

Bellamy Grst cts nothing of the kind

HOW TO KNOW
PURE PAINT
"A Way in Which 1t May Be Iden-
titled Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, 1t is
easy to tell IL the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
belated knowledge comes like locking
tn, barn after the colt Is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are paid
for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positively
distinguished from adulterated or fake
White Lead before you spend a cent
on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me
talllc lead, and, under intense heat,
such rs is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself
Jack into metallic lead. II, however,
1t is not genuine White Lead, or IT,. it
contains the slightest trace of adulter-
alton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe' test is an
absolute and inal one.
The National Lead Company are
urging every one interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
1t. and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter trademark Will always
prove absolutely pure under the
"blow-pipe" or n other test. 10
make it easy for you to perform the
experiment they will send you free
upon request, a blow-pipe and every
ching necessary for you to make the
test, together with q valuable booklet
on paint. Address, National Lead
