Why speak Of the scythe and the MUIR
As the bards so long have sung?
Why should we notice how Time may
so long as tho soul is young?
Let wrinkles come and the head grow
It's never a cause for tears.
For Methuselah hoped and laughed, no
When he had nine hundred years.
They fail to learn their lesson right
And take the dross for gold,
Who think gray hair. wrinkle or two
Are marks of growing old.
Joys songs may he as gladly sung,
And cen in better tune
If the heart keeps tire with the proper
beat
In December than in June.
So. when it haps I'm the run OF days
Why point to Time, with his denied
scythe
or other signs of age?
What is it, in truth. that has been
BY the seasons in their whirl
Where boy, a light-winged promising
lad.
Gives a goodbye kiss to girl?
No talk OF tombstones on Lies road;
No milestoncs of the past.
But dreams Of Hope and songs or JOY,
Each merrer than the last.
And whether we're eighty, or twenty,
or ten,
Let this New Years praise be sung
Not Mir teen Hundred and Nine years
But that many years still young

There are not many Industries which
WILL show up the year 1908 as their
ARnner year Of prosperity. In a great
many branches of trade it will long be
remembered as a year in which mon
unental amount Of energy was require
ed to make both ends meet. 1t is a
source of qualification to know, how
ever, that In the retail field there are
Bonle lines which not only held their
own, but made considerable progress.
One Of the most noteworthy, per-
hsps, is The Mohican company. They
not only made good with the people
whose circumstances required the clos
est economy in buying meats butter,
baked goods, and provisions, but they
have persistently maintained such a
high standard Of quality that many
housewives to whom quality is para
mount 90 everything else. have not
emily been sble TO obtain the very high
est grades, but at prices far below
those regularly charged in some stores
for very much inferior goods.
During the past year The MOhican
company has been travelling along at
express train speed, opening up new
branches at every stop, improving, its
equipment, as well as increasing and
strengthening its organization. As a
consequence, the new year finds 1t
hustiing along without any hitch, or
public with the worlds best foodstpffs
n unlimited quantities at the lowest
possible prices.
E5TCry week many unusual Opportu-
mites are offered The Mohican com
pany to secure large shipments of
meats, iour, butter, fruits, or grocery
sDecialties at prices under the lowest
level. II the quality OF the goods Of
fered is right, the proposition is seized
upon and the patrons Of the company's
many stores get a chance to possess
the commodity at a great reduction
from the regular selling price. When
ever these extraordinary opportunities
develop, the fact is advertised, and ev-
erybody IS given a chance to get in on
the ground floor and save money. Only
recently when the butter market was
going UP every day, The Mohican com
pany had a chance to secure an unusu-
ally large shipment of the finest cream
cry at figure which enabled them TO
sell to the consumers at a very at
Ersctive price, and the public was not
slow to take advantage.

HELPED THE CABMAN.
But Not Because He Had Driven Him
Years Before.

But Not Because He Had Driven Him
Years Before.
A very old man once called to see
Lord Strathcona at his Offices and eX-
planned as the reason of his visit that
he was the cabman who drove him to
his ship when he set sail for Canada
long years before.
Lord StrathcOna was interested in
this Renaissance of his youth and lis
tened to the ancient jehu when he
went on in a fearful voice to complain
that death had just deprived him Of
one of two grandsons and that he
himself had fallen on evil times.
Lord Strathcona soothed the old fell
lows sorrows with a little money.
Again, after a time, the old man
called on Lord StrathcOna and this
time told him that both his grandsons
were down with typhoid fever and, as
Lord Strathcona had helped him be-
fore, perhaps he would again. After
some gossiping chat about Scotland
Lord Strathcona again comforted the
old man with little money.
When he had gone an official who
had overheard the conversation said:
81 hope you did not give that man
any money, Lord Strathcona. When
he saw you before one Of his two
grandsons was dead. Now he says
both are i'll with typhoid fever"
"Thank you very much, Mr.. Jones"
said the high commissioner, with a
twinkle in his eye, "but do you know
when left Scotland for Canada 1 had
no cab to take me to the ship, but
just wheeled down my things myself
to the dock in barrow."-London Tit

Result of Poor WRITING.

The Duke of Wellington, through
misleading a badly written letter,
made a ludicrous blunder. This letter
was written by G. J. London, a botan-
ical author, who wrote to the duke re-
questing the privilege Of seeing his
beautiful beeches. The duke misread
the signature for that of G. j. Bloom
field, bishop of London, and wrote in
reply: "My lord, I shall always be glad
to see you at Strattofieldsaye and my
servant shall show you as many pairs
Of my breeches as you may choose to
inspect But what you want to see
them for is quite beyond MEEK

which the f1agpole stood from whose
top the national colors floated on the
