With Our Home Poets
SOME PEOPLE.
By Levi N. Eagon.

BY Levi NJ Eagon.
Some people pick at the park,
Others pick at the shade trees.
They are like the dogs that bark,
Always stirring up breeze.
Some say the park looks fine;
in the right way it does move.
Others do not feel incline
To help good things to improve.
Some say the pipe makes the water
taste,
Yet they bring their jugs to fill.
They think the money that's spent is
waste;
They growl to help pay the bill.
! think the park IS a beneficial thing,
l like to see it move along.
1t surely will other people bring,
And join our happy throng.

POETRY BY GRANDDAUGHTER
AND GRANDFATHER.

Granddaughter Louise Gil
more, aged IS, graduates in May
1916, at the Houston, Texas, higl
school.
Years and Seniors.
The years they come and swiftly go
Bringing JOY and sorrow;
And fame comes rapidly to some,
While others wait the morrow.
'Tis four years since we entered here
The time draws near the end
When we shall seek our fortunes,
All our energies to bend.
Some will become great authors,
And some will follow law,
While some will heed Arts calling,
And on the canvas draw,
Others will make the stage
The center of their work,
And some will take to social things,
Their duty they'll not shirk.
Well, let the future bring to all
Joy, happiness and success.
Three cheers for all the Seniors,
May their laurels be the best.
Grandfather-Henry G. Gilmore

"We Poor Old Chumps."
CA rejoinder by H. G. Gilmore to
Poor Old Maids.")
Weary and tired Of life,
We each desire to take wife,
We poor old chumps.
Don't blame us for our want Of sense,
For each and all do now repent,
We poor old chumps.
Matrimony, with all its ups and
downs,
Can give much JOY and perhaps re-
nown
To poor old chumps.
So, ladies', all p ease bear with us
We promise you no further fuss
With poor old chumps.
Wen dress you to your hearts de
light
Pray purchase everything in sight!
Say we old chumps
There's not a thing for grace or
beauty
That We withhold as the bounden
duty
OF poor old chumps.
No happier lot can fall to man
Than the possession Of a worthy
hand,
Know we Old chumps.
So pop the question on tomorrow
And save yourself a peck of sorrow,
Say we old chumps,

And how about the pixies that nursed the baby

Gnomes lived in the grass, hiding among the
stalks, listening and peeping for wrong words and
acts to tell what you did to the particular bird

Fall of Erzerum Outlets Fears
That Depressed Shares of
Suez Canal.
BY YVES GUYOT,
E1.mInlster Of Public WORKS, Editor "lAssnos
Econonlaue 81 FInanoIere.'

tconoml1ue ~ finanoiere
lBy Cabl, To Tho Tribunel
Paris, Feb. 21.-The capture of
Erzerum is Of considerable impor-
lance, as it makes impossible the ex-
petition against Egypt, which was
perhaps never a serious menace, but
tied up the English army and made
the stock of the Suez Canal fall be-
tween three and four thousand
francs, with no buyers. II puts a
definite end TO any Turkish enter
prises against Persia and the Per-
sian Gulf, while the Bagdad Railroad
will certainly be for a long time a
bad financial speculation as it has
been a bad political affair.
Stock of the Bank Of France is
sued at 1000 francs and which has
been selling at $500, has fallen to
1850. This probably is because of
the fear of the people due TO the gov
ernment's plan to tax war profits,
but nobody need be frightened on
that account, as all charges against
the bank are determined by law, and
new laws cannot affect them.
Application has begun Of the ar
rangement entered into between
Alexandra Ribot, Minister Of FL
nances, and Reginald McKenna,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, for
sale of French securities on the Lon
don Stock Exchange through the
Bank Of France as intermediary. A
notice published by the Bank of
France shows the conditions of sales.
Only stocks held by Frenchmen in
good faith can be sold and do not
necessarily have to have paid the
French stamp tax Of 2 per cent, but
only have to pay the English tax.
This is a very important point.
There are other advantages. The
Bank of France pays the expense Of
transmission and insurance charges,
with no commission, and charges
nothing against the seller except
what the bank itself has to pay in
London.
Thus the bank not only gives its
services, but assumes itself some of
the expense. It's Intervention is pure
" patriotic, and the bank favors
stock sales in London because they
help to regulate exchange. Sellers
receive their money in francs in
Paris at the regular rate of eX-
change, but the Bank of France
leaves in London the money it re-
ceives for the stock and uses it for
the needs Of French commerce.
