THE MERCHANT PRINCE.

There was an old geezer and he had a
lot of sense;
He started up business on a dollar
eighty cents.
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in a
day, by gad!
Well, he bought more goods and a
little more space,
And he played that system with a
smile on his face.
The customers flocked to his two-by.

And soon he had to hustle for regu-
lar store.
Up on the square where the people
pass,
He gobbled up a corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the best
that he had,
And he told them all about il in n
half page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he never
quit,
And he wouldn I cut down on his ads
one bit.
Well, he's kept things humping in the
town ever since,
And everybody calls him the Merchant

South Americans Afraid
of North American Trusts

Buenos Aires, Sept. 9.-South Ameri-
cans are deeply interested in the sug-
gestion, referred to in dispatches from
Washington and New York, that the
Sherman law ought not to be enforced
against North American business hous-
es seeking trade on the southern eonti-
nent
South America is exceedingly fear
full of trusts and especially of North
American trusts. The people base their
ideas on translations they have read
from newspapers in the United States.
They believe, literally, the very strong
est things they have read concerning
the trust evil. 1t is doubtful if the
still uninvaded corner of Belgium
would regard a German incursion with
any more pleasurable anticipations
than South Americans feel at the hint
that the North American trusts may
get a grip on them.
This apprehension Of trusts, in fact,
is a considerable obstacle in the way
of American trade's progress here.
Consequently this latest suggestion
has not been well received
South American business men who
think closer pan-American trade rels-
tions would be a good thing express
the opinion that the field is so wide
open, while the war lasts, that trust
methods are unnecessary at present.
Their view is that North American
firms would do better TO gain foot
hold by individual effort, before toe

Famous German Coffee
House Threatened
There's A Reason

Amsterdam, Sept. although it is
not admitted in Germany, the famous
old German coffee houses, the popular
resort of the masses, is about to 60
out of business until after the war.
There's a reason.
Germany is about out of coffee.
For the last two years the Germans
have used reserve supplies of coffee
stored in Hamburg and Bremen. Ant
werp's supply augmented this when it
fell to the Germans in 1914. There
since has been little from Holland
and Scandinavia.
Today, however, the British have so
effectively stopped shipments TO ports
reshipping to Germany that none is
available tnerefrom. Germany is brew
ing the last of her precious berries.
Before the war Germany imported
about SO million dollars worth of cof-
fee year, mostly from Brazil and
Guatemala.

SAINT PETER AT THE GATE.

st. Peter stood guard at the golden
gate,
With a solemn mein and air sedate,
When up to the top of the golden stair
A man and woman assembled there
Applied for admission. They came and
stood
Before st. Peter so great and good,
In hopes the city of Peace to win,
And asked st. Peter to let them in.
The woman was tall and lank and thin,
With scraggy beardlet on her chin;
The man was short and thick and stout
His stomach was built so it rounded
out,
His face was pleasant, and the while
He wore a kindly and genial smile.
The choirs in the distance the echoes
woke
And the man kept still while the wo-
man spoke.
80 thou that guardest the gate," said
she
"We two come hither beseeching thee
To let us enter the heavenly land,
And play our harps with the angel
band.
OF me, st. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing in heaven to bar me
out.
I've been to the meeting three times a
week
And almost always I'd rise and speak.
Il we told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent their evil way;
Ive told my neighbors, I've told them
all

See that on finest ambrosia he feeds;
He's had about all of the hell he needs.

To roast him on earth and in future

They gave him a harp with golden
strings,
A glittering robe and pair of wings,
And he said, as he entered the realm

I've marked their path of duty clear,
Told them the plan of their whole

I've talked and talked to 'em loud and
long,
For my lungs are good and by voice is

So good Peter, you III clearly see
The gate of heaven is open to me
But my old man, regret to say,

Or go to revival or join in hymn;
So had to leave him to sorrow there,

While L in my purity sang to the Lord;
And if cucumbers were all he got,
It's chance if he merited them or
not.

But the chosen expect to find some way
OF coaxing, or fooling, or bribing you,
So that their relations can amble

You ought to stand by that opening

And never sit down in the easy chair.
