from the dark of the boreal seas
Prom the 1 dnlght morn of the pole,
Co the sands of youi southland leaa,
Where sweltering cities roll;
From tne still of the Caves of the Cold,
To the resonant marches of men.
By the wind that runs, I summon my eona
To the arms of the north again.
To the ships of the scurrying main
Where the stern wheels southward
thrum.
To the lands of the Sun and the Rain,
Or the wings of the dark I come;
And never thy Love, nor the lure
Of thy Fame shall make thee free.
For a «a*l or a soul, at my rallying roll.
Must turn to the North with me.
Te hare fathomed the flnes of the East
And the reach of the West ye know,
And the wilds of the Earth, as the bsaat
Ye have tamed to the whip and the hoe.
But the breath of my pltllesr plains
Te have faced-Ye have failed of the
goal;
And the drume of the North, they shall
summon ye forth.
Till ye win to the prtee of the Pole!

-From Sully Prudhoume, by Curtis Hid-
den Page. In the Metropolitan.
A Little Whlit Ago.
There comes a song In summer dayi,
A low and tremulous refrain;
Tie murmured In the leafy waye
And In the dropping of the rain.
It tells of pleasures all complete.
The Joys of which only youth may know
And swings Into this burden sweet
" 'Twas such a little while ago."
Each weed bloomed delloately fair.
And life was only made for song,
The world was filled with treasures rare
That waited for the brave and strong—
And all are brave when love Is young,
And all are strong in hope's first glowi
How stoutly was the ohallenge flung
To fate, a little while ago.
And whatsoe'er the years may bring—
Bo sing the zephyr and the rain—
The popples left all withering
Are dearer than the garnered grain,
rhough toll and care through Held or marl
Plod on forgetfully and slow,
fouth's sweetness lingers near the heart
And seems a little while ago.
-Washington Evening Star.
Home at Evening,
•ee. dear, the old blind Binger, lame, foot*
sore,
Grope doubtfully along ths emptying
street.
His mute face searching ever, yet hi*
feet
fsellng their conscioue way to hie own
door.
What tho eyes lack, the sharpened ears
restore;
Hie sense Is keen to catch the delicate
beat
Which minute rlpplee of the air repeat—
A etlr of guiding wlnge, unfelt before.
ADVERTISING TALKS.
Newspaper advertising la to bus*
ness what hands are to a clock. It Is
a direc t and certain means of letting
the pub ic know what you are doing.
In these days ;>f intense and vigilant
commercial contest a dealer who doej
not advertise is like a clock tiaat has
no huLds. He has no way of telling
folks what he's PL He can no mor,?
expect a twentieth century succefi
with nineteenth century methods than
he can wear the same -ized shoes a
a man which fitted him in his boy-
hood.
His father and mother were content
ith neighborhood shops and bobtail
cars. They were the best to be hvl
in their day. They were accustomed
to seek the merchant instead of being
sought by him. They dealt "arouud
the corn r" In one story shops which
depended upon the Immediate friends
of the dealer for support As long as
the city was made up of such neign
borhood units, each with a full outfit
t.utchers, bakers, ciothiers, jewel-
era. furniture dealers and shoemakers,
it was possible for the proprietors o,
these little establishments to exist a id
make a profit
But as population increased, trans't
facilities spread, sections became spj-
cialized. block after block was entirely
devoted to stores, and mile after mile
became solely occupied by homes.
The purchaser and the storekeeper
grew farther and farther apart C:
was necessary for the merchant to j
find a substitute for his direct p ?r
sonality which no longer served to
draw customers to his door. He had
to stretch a bond between the com
mercial center and the home center.
Rapid transit eliminated distance, but
advertising was ntcessary to inform
people where he was located and what
he had to sell. It was a natural out-
growth of • changed conditions—tho
beginning of a new era in trade which
no longer relied upon personal ac-
quaintance for success.
The newspaper publisher, hitherto
a gossip, a rataller of information, be
came a first aid to commercial ad
vaccement. The shopkeeper, hitherto
a petty tradesman, began to grow into
the dignity of a merchant.
Something more wonderful than the
fabled philosopher's stone came into
being and th..1 beginings of fortunes
which would pass the hundred million
mark and place tradesmen's daughters
upon oriental thrones grew from this
new force. Within fifty years it has
became a3 vital to industry as steam
to commerce.
Advertising is not a luxury nor a
debatable policy. It has proven its
case. Its rcoGrd is traced in the sky-
lino of the city where a hundred tow-
ering buildings stand as a lesson of
reproach to the men who had the op-
portunity but not the foresight, aid
furnish a constant inspiration to the
young merchant at the threshold of
his career.

Tho necessity for owning Tenth

by many that a viaduct at this place
would bo the prope raolution of the
question, the niani er in which a creek

Bryan has finally come to the con-

of capital are loss persuasive with

years ago, hence it has been determ-
ined to work the farmer? with the
