THE OLD COUNTRY STORE.

The country store | used to know
comes back to me today
In rising tides of memory that swcen
the years away.
| see it's weather i..aten front. The
dingy window panes.
The sugar scale, the letter box, the
fioor's tobacco stains;
The jumblcd stock of groceries in
package, pail and bar,
And, best OF all, see once more Il tall
glass jar.
TIL jar was filled with candy sticks,
n goodly sight to sec,
And better still to nibble at-that joy
still stays with me
Sweet peppermint and wintergrecn,
hoarhound and cinnamon,
Vanilla sticks like BARRIERS polcs-I
loved them everyone.
Molasses, too, and chocolate, and
toothsome peanut bar;
see them in my minds eye in that
tall glass jar.
Lies brought me many pleasures as
the years have slipped along;
Far moro of sun than shadow. little
signing, much of song,
I've seen the sunlight splcndor on the
lordly hills OF Rome,
Had luck in love and business when
I've stayed right here at home,
But never felt an ecstacy as great as
when my ma
Would pass me out nickel for that
tall glass jar
I'd give ten thousand dollars Just to
be boy again
One single day, and paddle, barefoot
in the summer rain;
Just to run my mothers errands to
that dingy little store,
With glad anticipation tingllng to my
beings core.
No cloud in the horizon my sheer hap
piness to mar,
Munching sticks of striped candy from
that tall glass jar.

CAR SHORTAGE IS SERIOUS
N. 4 w. Appeals to Shippers and
Others to Help Relieve the
CongeSted Condition.

On account of the shortage of cars
that is threatening shippers all over
the country, the Norfolk 4 Western
railway has issued an appeal To its
officers, employees and the public for
all possible dispatch in handling the
freight. The shortage of cars is due
mainly to the immense grain move
ment, the use of tarins for the guards
men in Mexico, and IL general increase
in shipping. The eastern ports are
said to be tied up with exports.
The following is the appeal that is
being sent out:
TO officers, employees and the ship
ping public:

of officers, employees and shippers I;

commerce commissions:

McCLARYGRAMS.

The method most commonly used
by people in answering letters would
seem to be letter slide.
Bring up penny in the way it
should not go, and when it is old ii
shall not depart from thee.
The person who poses as something
better than he really is, makes HIM
self something worse than he really is.
A man of letters is not necessarily
one who has many letters behind his
name, as culture is not matter of
degrees.
Business letters are necessary,
friendly letters welcome, and love let
tiers delightful; but for a real Joy
thrill, send US a letter of credit.
He may not realize it, but the good
loser, even in the hour of defeat, by
his indomitable spirit brings the lay
ing of foundation of future success.
One of the best possible treatments
for crouch or grudge is to give it
full vent in letter, using all the
space and all the variety, force and
! picturesqueness of language neces-
sary to express just what you feel.
Then, very carefully, and in plenty of
time, drop it in the wastebasket post
box.

Our committees" the nominee con-

situation, and. while some Democrats
have not qualified, as is always the
case, it is found also that Republi-
cans have not qualified. In some
counties we have the advantage in
tins regard: in others the Republicans
may have. The point would make
IS, that our investigation reveals that
the masses of the Democratic party
arc duly qualified, and for any that
are not qualified, our leaders are go
