Success.

There's word of cheer for the man
with pluck,
Who never gives way to an adverse
luck;
But keeps on mOiling
With vigor and toiling
No matter what comes and no mat
ter what goes.
He laughs at the man with a bur
den of woes,
And finally harveSts the crop that
he SoWs.
His "stick-to-it' spirit eventually
grows
On those whom he meets.
In the marts and the streets
And the byways and highways
OF life; .
and he greetS
With a strong word of courage the
man who retreats
At the first sign of failure, and
shows him the way
To work with the sun if he wants
to make hay,
He lives on the song side
Of life on the strong side,
And knows not the wrong side,
But clutches the right;
Tremendously clings till he comes
out victorious,
Earning his spurs in a struggle
most glorious;
Comes back for more in each I'M
equal fight;
Finally winning the goal he is
after
Spreading his doctrine of grit
and laughter.
&C. P. Mcdonald in the BoOk-Keep-
er for August.

In a Tub.

We went into the Cones & Meal
lister barn Friday and saw what
to us was a strange sight. A horse
had been backed into a stall and
two straps from the halter to each
stall posts held him so he could
not step forward and of course the
manger kept him from backing.
Both front feet were in an iron tub.
We asked, what next? and was
told: The horse had punctured
his foot with a nail and clay had
first been put in the tub and the
tub filled with water and that the
clay and water would take the
poison out" So that is our story.

formation of marching tempos. An

the smart, sprightly first movement,

Uncle Sam VS.. Printers.

The country newspapers have
been bowling themselves hoarse
for several years against the mail
order evil. "Patronize home in
Stitutions," has been their slogan
and they have reiterated it in sea-
son and out. In the meantime a
mail order concern of gigantic pro-
portion has been gradually en-
croaching upon the printers pre-
serves and its growth has been
largely due to the patronage of
those whose benefit the papers have
been fighting the mail order houses
We refer, says the Blackburn
(Okla) News, to the government
envelope industry. The post-office
department is sending out circulars
at no cost for postage, advertising
that they will furnish stamped en-
velopes printed with a return card
at exactly the cost of the stamped
envelopes without the printing.
When orders are received the en-
Velopes are printed and delivered
to the purchaser by registered mail
at no cost for postage. The gov
eminent is furnishing these envel-
opes at less than the actual cost
entering into the unfair competi-
ton with the printers of the coun-
try and the annual deficit of the de-
partment is growing. In order to
lessen this deficit it is proposed to
raise the rate of postage on news
papers. Now if that isn't catching
the printers comm and goin',"
we'd like to know why. There are
two bills in congress now to do
away with this unjust competition
against the individual, and our
members of that august body will
do a whole lot toward winning the
friendship of the country newspa-
pers if they will come out fiat-foot-
ed in favor of one or the other of
the bills. If the government is 60
ing into competition with private
business concerns, it should branch
out and open up a department store
where everything from a toothpick
to a'threshing engine could be pur-
chased at a little less than COST

Good From the Aldrich-Taft Tariff.

In wathcing the outworkieg of
the true inwardness of the new tar
if law, let us not ignore the good
that has come out of it. Through
its discussion the people have come
to realize that the tariff is tax;
they used to think it wasn't. They
have come to realize that it is a tax
which they pay themselves; they
used to think the foreigner paid it.
They are beginning to see that the
wOrkingman gets none of the ad-
vantage of protection; they used to
think he got it all. THE Public.

Stripped to a Rescue.

Philadelphia. Pa.,-Aug. 19.-Six-
teen-year-old Robert Lutz was in
Penn Treaty park when he saw
James Harper, "a years old, fall out
of a catboat in the middle of the
Delaware. Harper called for help
and Lutz peeled off his clothes in a
jiffy, swan out in the stream and
rescued the man. When he got
ashore he found that his clothes
had been stolen. While he was
hunting for them several women on
the pier summoned a policeman
and asked him to arrest the boy for
indecent exposure. The policeman
denounced the women as a pack of
fools, wrapped the boy in his own
coat and told him to hustle home.

HAPPY DAYS" WALTZ.
BY Julian Strauss

Bv Julian Strauss.
Here is the waltz that will bring
home the bacon" so to speak. A
classy collection of waltz themes,
beautifully arranged for the piano -
every strain is singable and catchy.
and the dreamy, grandioso move
ment on page seven will, in itself,
sell the number Happy Days"
is splendid for dancing and will no
doubt, be a ballroom favorite this
coming season. 1t is also valuable
as teaching number, and should
appeal to teachers who use this
class of music. We predict a bright
future for this new composition by
Julian Strauss.
THE ENTERPRISER."
March Two Step by J. Bodewalt Lampe
The bands and orchestras are
simply raving abont this march and
you will have calls for it = therefore
we send it as one of our Star" new
issues. Lampe's arrangements are
known the world over, and his
compositions are always popular
and steadily in demand. The
Enterpriser" is one of the best
Marches he has written, and we are
sure of it's success as a piano solo.
