HEREAFTE

When earth's last picture is painted,
And the tubes are twisted and dried !;
When the oldest colors are faded,
And the youngest critic has died;
We shall rest, and faith; we shall need
it,
Lie down for an aeon or two
Till the Master of all good workmen
Shall set us to work anew.
And those that were good shall be hap
Ply,
They shall sit in a golden chair;
And splash at a ten-leagued canvas
With brushes of comets hair
They shall find real saints to draw from,
Magdalene, Peter and Paul,
They shall work for an age at sitting
And never grow tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise US,
And only the Master shall blame;
And none shall work for money,
And none shall wish for fame;
But each for the joy of working
And each in his separate star;
Shall draw the thing as he sees 1t,
For the God of Things as they are.

eRATTLEeoRo MARKET REPORT.

Creamery butter dropped from AZ to
40 cents a pound this week and eggs
went from 81 to 40 cents dozen.
Lemons are classed among the luxuries
now, costing 40 cents a dozen. Those
humble products of the garden, onions,
also have advanced in price, going from
so to IS cents a peck Because of the
high price of butter the only dealer in
town who has license to sell oleomar-
garine is getting rid Of large quantities
of the substitute, selling 200 pounds each
week. Potatoes are 40 cents a peck and
enough are being brought in by farmers
to keep the retailers supplied, but it is
thought by some of the dealers that
within a short time the growers will
begin to unload some of the tubers which
they have stored away all winter and
the price will drop. Many Of the farmers
who held their potatoes for the high
prices of late winter were badly "stung'
by having them freeze during the cold
weather of January and this month, and
they therefore are unable to get the top
notch prices they expected. Meats have
not changed for several weeks.
