A DEED AND A WORD.
A little stream had lost its way

a DEED AND A WORD.
A little stream had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern.
A passing stranger scooped a
well.
Where weary men might turn.
He walled 1t in and hung with
care
A ladle at the brink.
He thought not of the deed he
did,
But judged that all might
drink.
He passed again, and, 10. the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parch-
ing tongues
And saved life beside.
A nameless man amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart
Let fall a word Of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart.
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath
1t raised brother from the
dust.
1t saved a soul from death.
o germ. o fount. o word Of love,
o thought at random cast,
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.
Charles Mackay.

The other day merchant said
he couldn't afford to advertise In
his home newspaper.
That same merchant will spend
hours telling of the unfair com
petition of the mail-order houses
who are his most aggressive and
dangerous competitors. yet the
methods employed by the mail-orde
houses which succeed are the very
ones which the merchant refuses to
use. The mail-order house first nf
all is an Advertiser. Advertising is
the life of it's business. Every
magazine that enters the small town
and rural home carries the ad of
the mail-order house. Expensive
catalogs are printed showing the
illustrations of the actual articles
Occasionally sheets are scattered
broadcast over the country as a
special "come-on' for the bargain
hunter.
Instead of doing these things in 2
smaller way through the columns OF
his local paper. the merchant VINO
cant afford to advertise sits down
and "cusses" his tough luck ana
wonders why he can't get the bnsi-
ness. He never thinks he has "A
better opportunity to reach the peo-
ple in his neighborhood than the
mail-order house has. 1t doesnt
cost him as much as it does the out

THE SITE OF WATERLOO.

Forbear! This plain is still too
deaf with cries,
This soil too sangulne for thy
stucco lies.
Shall earth where reeled the
guard thy villa pen,
Where nations groaned be heard
the cackling henf
A mansion mark where in the
gathering murk
Those terrible gray horsemen SO
did work?
Here wilt thou dare to live.
where such men died
And on that memorable dust re-
sidei
Here only ever let the solemn
Uninterrupted weave q spirit
noon.
Here only falter down a pensive
dew
From skies too wistful to be
purely blue.
But shouldst thou build on con-
secrated ground,
Then be those houses filed with
spectral sound
OF clashing battle and the ghost
ly war
OF charging hosts against the
battered door!
Let solemn below OF hollow
cannon boom,
A dreadful cavalry invade the
glooml
Until In awe of those who fell
or fed
The living fee from the more
living dead!
That silence now too conscious
is for sound,
1t broods upon itself and Is self
bound.
Then let no builder Of this field
have lease,
'Tis let to time. the property or
peace!
