TODAY'S POEM
KEEP UP YOUR PLUCK.
.@)~~~~

 Keep up your pluck and take another hold;
 Don't whimper: it is useless to com plain, Fortune still deals her favors to the bold,
 There's never loss but somewhere is a gain. While you have left your body and your brain, In spite Of all misfortune, be con- soled, There's always hope while these you still retain, Keep up your pluck and take another hold. .i The world to you may seem both hard and cold, And yet. it is a good world, in the main; If sympathy is in small measure doled, Don't whisper; it is useless to com- plain. With cheerful smiles conceal the hid den pain. Leave your vacations and your wrongs untold, Fight, but if beaten from weak tears refrain, Fortune still deals her favors to the bold. Oh, those invertebrates who fret and scold, Make faces at the cup they have to drain, Dumbly despair at loss of land or gold! There never loss but somewhere is a gain. Be valiant. Bound, then strive to break the chain That binds you. Show yourself of iron mold, Sit down and weep and you will weeE in vain. Work manfully and fate may bs controlled. Tit-Bits.

'"The water lily, pale with care, Mourns as the waters pass her by. Alas she signs, what woes bear, And must submit to misery! But time can never teach my heart From hopes delusive joy to part Of all the things, the girl of seven teen crayes to be thought wise. For the last year she has read everything she could day her hands on, borrow or buy. Not love stories.-oh, dear, no but the deeper, more majestic thoughts of historians, travel talks, the wisdom of Seneca, Homer and Chesterfield. Her parents are a little in awe of her. They cannot comprehend how it happened that such gifted child came tol them. The girl of seventeen scorns tn little maids of her own age who persist in wearing their hair down their backs in plaits ankle length dresses, enjoying the younger children who can openly play with their dolls, and fondle them as much as they like.
 The seventeen-year-old girl of supe- rior mind, wastes no time on thoughts of youths. She has no use for mere
  encounters none of the worlds frowns. Every one .admires her because of her freshness of youth, her buoyancy, and smile ,amusedly at her enthusiasm and her ideas of life.N
 If the unexpected does happen-and she falls in love-she raised her hero to the pinnacle of romance. If he is a worthless fellow. no amount of ex- planation or serious reasoning will have any effect in stripping him of the halo she has woven about his head. She rises like an Amazon to defend him against what she calls "the ma chfnations of his enemies'' She is ready and willing to fight all his bat ties for him and would be content to wed him-at her own risk, as her pa rents express it-were he not wise enough to defer tying the nuptial knot, not being able to see very clearly where the bread and butter were to come from.
 At eighteen, her enthusiasm con- corning the same young man has be- gun to wane. She is seeing him now as others see him. She's glad she did not allow her enthusiasm of year be- fore to get away with her common sense. She's tired of the wisdom, of
 
 far and away from the ideals Seneca wrote of. She finds that the Judgment of her father and mother was more practical than she had given them credit for promulgating.
 She has discovered that she is not nearly so brainy as she had imagined herself to be; that other girls of her age really know far more than she does on general subjects, but make no attempt to parade 1t. They read cook books and could prepare a meal fit for the gods. Seneca's teaching had not taught her homeIy. useful knowledge that she could turn to account. No matter how wise the girl of sev- enteen may believe herself to be, truth, which tells us "old heads cannot be put on young shoulders will not be downed. At seventeen, girl should be in heart and thought still a dream ing child, with the worlds wisdom as yet unlearned.

THE BIRTHDAY .
 OF PUNCH

This is the seventy-fifth birthday of Punch" and the multitude of ad- mirers of the internationally famous London publication will today extend congratulations and good wishes to the editors and artists who now hold aloft the banner of the London Charfvari." In the three-quarters of a century of it's existence Punch" has enlisted the services of many of the foremost wits of Great Britain. The first issue of the famous satiri- cal weekly appeared on July IT, 1S41, under the editorial direction of Mark Lemon, who had as his assistants in the venture Gilbert Beckett, Doug las Jerrold and Henry Mayhew
 Thackery and other eminent writers contributed to the pages of the youth full publication, and the art of cari- cature received a great impetus. The first edition of Punch" consisted of 5000 copies, and thief ounders were greatly elated when the entire out put was disposed of and another edi- ton of 5000 copies became necessary to supply the demand. A sale of 10,- 900 copies of the first number of a three penny publication was consid- cred a great journalistic achievement in those days. The first cover design and the first cartoons of Punch" were drawn by Archibald Henning, merely to look at whose, jovial phiz was a cure for melancholy, and as the Scotch say, a sight to cure sair een'." Mark Lemon. the first edi
 tor, had more to do than any other one man with the permanent estab
 lishment of Punch" as a British journalistic institution. He was a dramatist and novelist. as we'll as a journalist. Lemon occupied the edi- torial chair for nearly twenty-nine years, his connection ceasing only with his death in 1870. Shirley Brooks, his successor, died four years later, and Tom Taylor was editor from 1874 to 1880. Then came Sir Fran cis Cowley Burnand. who joined the editorial staff of Punch" in 1862 and was chief editor from 1880 to 1906. Burnand was educated for the law, but early in life he saw the evil of his ways. reformed, and became journalist. Punch" is the parent of host of offspring in merica apd Europe, but in literary and artistic excellence it has seldom been equalled and never surpassed.

Art Flagons Now
 Scarce In France

Paris, July 17-Fine French per fumes are now being sold in ordinary druggists vials. corked, instead of in artistic flagons with glass stoppers. This crisis is due to mobilization of glass workers in the North of France, and one of its revelations is that the art flagon has been representing considerable part of the cost of per fumes. But among fastidious women the perfumes do not smell so sweet when prosaically presented, and a re- suit is a new industry-that of col lecting old perfume bottles into which the essences may be transferred.

THE FARMERS ADVERTISING
 SCHOOL.

A certain number of writers are able tp produce ads of the Fine Writing or Humorous styles that are exceed ingly effective. People look every day in their regular space to see what they will say next. Here is an ex- ample from standard work on ad- vertising: i Smithson.-'What do you think of 9 man who throws a banana skin on the sidewalk?" I
 Johnson.-'What do you think of a banana skin that throws man on the sidewalk? ?"
 Skins are numerous in all kinds of business. but especially in the clothing line. We do right by our customers, giving them the highest in value at the lowest in price. as here for in- stance. (here follows description of a bargain in spring overcoats.)
