I used to call him ''Rube." and scoff
At him with merry quip and Jest;
ia say. your chin needs wiping on
And tell him to pull down his vest
And that-yes, brother. that was when

Yet ! was walking idly them
He drove behind a trottlng horse.
! used TO say that II was sad
Because he could not live In town,
Where things were always bright and
glad
And care an easy thing to drown.
And even then he had phone
To chat with neighbors far or near;
My slugs into the slot were thrown
A hired received at my ear.
Yet. none the less pitled him
You see. judged him on the stage
Where he was shown all lank and slim.
With whlskers like the wind-tossed sage.
Well. when I'd g0 horse TO drive.
II gave me something OF a Jar
To have him whizz past In his ave"
With six guests I'm the roomy car.
And 80 I hold my head and think
OF all the jokes l used to make.
OF how I'd nod my head and wink
And speak OF him as Country jake"
Why. when I've saved my scanty dimes
And bought an auto-'ts In vain
To dream upon those coming times,
For then he'll have an aeroplanel
So. here's to you. my farmer friend
There never was "Rube" or "Si."
We've just begun to comprehend
That II Is you who whizzes by
In the disturbing cloud OF dust
That mocks and overwhelms us thus.
Though In our little iokes discussed,
You've always kept ahead OF us.

Harold MacGrath is a millionaire OF
romance. His capital OF make-believS
seems unlimited. And he uses his
golden means to build libraries-just
like a practical Carnegie millionaire.
He is. indeed. a public benefactor. He
writes to entertain. and no never falls
below tho level. His books delight
and amuse and give pleasure. That's
no small object for the fiction writer
to attain. After all, it's his first busi-
ness to be interesting.
Mr.. MacGrath has written a new
book-A Splendid Hazard, published
by Bobbs-Merrill Company. II is his
best. Because OF its theme II can
claim a peculiar charm. Present-day
story as It is. the glamour OF the
Napoleonic legend is about II from
the first page to the last, and there IN
really nothing in the glory Of romaucs
comparable to that.
So the new story 10 clever and orig
inal and daring in its theme. One
feels that Mr.. MacGrath himself has
been elated over his work. and has
given TO II unusual consideration and
effort. II is. at every important point,
well worked up; there are no sleepy
spots.

snow is mounted in a wreath about the
crown. The plume springs from the
front and toward the right side, and
in each Of these models the heaviest
trimming is at the right. No other
trimming could be used with such a
snowy mass Of plumage. The brim Is
of the droopy variety. but curls up

THE FIRST TASTE

especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving

The Heavy Heart

Great calamities do not embitter ex-
istence. 1t is the petty yexations, the
small iealousies, the little disappoint-
ments, that make the heart heavy and
the temper sour. Don't let them. An
ger is pure waste of vitality. II helps
nobody and hinders everybody. No
woman does her best except when she
is cheerful. A light heart makes busy
hands and keeps the mind free and
alert. No misfortune is so great as
one that sours the temper.
