Drink to me only with thine eyes,"
The future critic sings
Ere with his hard-earned coin he buys
Highballs and fips and sings
The buffet is a bookshelf now
And some ones brand of fizz
Is advertised and showing how
Good best seller is.
1.-The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth crave drink divine
Each gay wine-bibber blandly buys
Some publishers full line;
The bar man wears a fountain pen
And ere a drink is quafed
He calls its author in, and then
The drink is autographed.
But might Of Jove's nectar sip
Have you tried Scribbler's beer,
Or of Scrawl's brandy had a nip?-
His style is rather queer.
Inkslinger's ale is praised as old
And musty as his jokes;
Penpusher's claret, not too cold,
A thousand fancies cloaks.

For Bacon, who great lore imbibed,
Said reading makes men full
Drink to me only with thine eyes

If the teetotaler now tries
To bar books in the SOUTH
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
Meath some book sellers sign,
For now the novel reader buys
A drink in every line.

SUNDAY MANNERS OF CROWS
Sets That Day Apart for General Pill

Over Helpless Victims

Did you ever hear how the Scotch
crow observes the Sabbath II is no
uncommon thing TO hear elderly peo-
pie born in Scotland say he is as wise
as q Scotch crow To the uninitiated
this would not imply very great de-
gree OF wisdom, for the crov is not
generally given credit for being Sol
onion in his day and generation That
is, al American crow IL not. but his
Scotch brother may have superior
intellect At any rate. old Scotch
people think so. for TO them this OBJ
serTance Of Sunday is an evidence Of
great sagacity. Unfortunately. how
ever. a crows idea of the sanctity of
the day does not agree with that OF
his human foe He remorselessly sets
that day apart as e season for pillage
and general marauding. and boldly
gloats over his helpless victims Du-
ring the week he discreetly keeps
within the shelter OF the woods. but
on Sunday morning when he hears the
church bells ringing and observes the
deserted condition OF The fields. he
knows that his time has come and he
unceremoniOusly pre-empts these
fields for himself. and wanto1lr feasts
and forages in the few hours that are

other week OF fasting is at hand Such
