11 the American Maguiine, Mr.

iul Ins old home own :
'Muusseau once remarked that
e hud never lived in Paris, tx-
pi fur one detinue reason 10 gel
money enough in live somewhere
sc. There are limes when 1
tive hud a similar reeling inward
w York. Times when llie stress
J strain and fretting of the job
grew wearisome; wlien my cylin
ders all are full of carbon, and my
lives give forth a leaky sound;
hen the while lights are only an
impertinence, and the noise 01
otormen tramping on tlieir bells
madness in my cars.
"When iliat lime comes, us
every spring ii does, I go home,
nd, speaking with my wife pri
mely, I say: 'My dear, why lin
ger we longer in u world like tins:'
e are but strangers here at best;
Kuxboro is our home. And we
up ihe cold coffee bottle and
ace the ham sandwich in the bag,
estling it tenderly beside the fish
ing tackle, and hie us to a land
that is better and purer and sweet
er; where the straight and narrow
way takes the place of the way
called Broad, and there is no white
light but the evening star. "

0, the lyres of the liars lie around with broken sirings,
For the inspiration nectar has gone on Muse's wings;
And Pegasus is a camel that can live without llie damp
And the writer's of the sonnet have acquired writer's cramp.
Now no longer in the gloaming will our poets try lo poie,
For the Rrcs of their lyres won't vibrate a froen mice
All our writing men are saddened, in each eye there gleams a lear,
As they try to Ret inspired with a raisis in near beer.
Ain't it h I that they neglected to lay in a stock in lime,
So's to be in a condition to indite some pickled rhyme?
It's jusi the old, old story ; Thai a fellow is a chump,
If he tries to court the Muses when he's standing 'round ihe pump.
The club ain't what it used to be when licker was on tap.
You'd hear a line almost divine from almost any chap;
But now they sil around and mope and cuss out congress loo,
Because they think without a drink there's nothing else to do.
Shades of Gene Field, Jim Riley and Stanley Waterloo,
n our despair we do declare we often ihink of you;
And of the days and of the ways when you foregathered here;
'Tis well you went ere this event deprived you of all cheer.
When we are by ourselves
we have to watch our thoughts;
when in the family, our tern
tiers: when in company, our
tongues.
Patience is the most essential in
gredient of genius.

SLEEP IN FRANCE.
They sleep in peace, those boys of ours
Under the soil of France,
Neath winter snows and spring time flowers
And the breezes as they dance.
So let them rest, the lads so brave,
Yes, rest there side by side
With freedom's flag to guard each brave
The flag for which they died.
They rest so well, the flag unstained
By greed or lust or lear,
They died for honor well attained
For all we hold most dear.
So laddies sleep your last long sleep,
Where courage won ihe day
Mute memories for France to keep
Of all we had to pay.
Oh mothers, you, who gave your sons,
Be first to say, I know
My boy would lie where freedom's guns
Laid hate Forever low.
His body may be far away
His spirit's close to me.
So rest, dear lad, yes, rest for aye
In France across the sea."

Bitter or Better Baking
A letter makes a great difference in a
word. A word makes a great difference
in baking powders.
If the little -word "alum" appears on
the label it may mean bitter baking.
If the word ROYAL stands out bold
and strong, it surely means BETTER
baking.
This is only one reason why it pays
to use

Made from Cream of Tartar derived from grapes

All Druggists
The jolly girl is born not made;
no training or endeavor can coun
terfeit her. There are ihose, to
be sure, who atf'eci jollity, but it is
only skin deep. The jolly girl is
jolly under adverse circumstances
in bad weather; when she hasn't
a cent to her name; when she has
the toothache; when she has Inst
her situation; when she breaks her
needle; when her back hair tum
bles down in public; when she is
shopping, when her masculine
neigbor at ihe theatre goes out and
when he returns: when her bills
are due. She never seems to in
dulge in that feminine luxury "the
blues" and il is a mistake lo sup
pose that she is noisy; there is jol
lity of the lady-like, aristocratic
sort, as well as of the fish-wife or
der. The girl who makes up her
mind that jollity is the proper cue,
and thai she will be lively
or die usually overdose the
business; she thinks thai il chiefly
consists in laughing and chattering
nonsense, thai ic is a manner of
speech merely, than a quality of
the mind which disposes one to
make the best of everything, to
see the rainbow on the cloud and
the silver lining behind it, to make
the wrinkle on the rose leal a
cause of mirth. Some believe thai
jollity is an affair of embonpoint;
but who has not been disappointed
in finding the siout woman melan
choly and the thin one vivacious,
ihe bilious person full of good
humor and the person whose di
gestion never gave a moment's un
easiness quite the reverse ? The
jolly girl cannot suppress herself,
and assume sadness or pensivness;
Uriguiiliiiig air do im m well up
on her, bul show at a glance that
they are borrowed plumes. One
is never dull with her. She has
that infinite variety which all the
world covets and loves. Ii may
be a desirable thing that those who
have not this natural grace should
cultivate and encourage ii in them
selves and others, since it bright
ens eud strengthens life, makes
rough places smoother and pleas
ant places pleasanter. Possibly ic
is no special virtue in the jolly girl
any more than blue eyes in the
blonde maiden or red hair in the
Titatiesque. Jollity flows from
her presence jusi as the nightin
gale's fluting bubbles from his
throat and enchants the world;
jusi as the poet pours forth his
song, "in profuse strains of un
premediiJied art," just as the tree
blossoms, the grasses sprout, ihe
stars shine, without effort, without
design, with sincerity and con
stancy and spontaneity. Let her
be shipwrecked, or an invalid
siranuea on a bed of pain yet she
does not lose or abate that peculiar
trait which makes sunshine for
those about her and sweeps the
cobwebs out of their sky.
The Dic.nity ofiLabok. The
trouble with most young mtti is
that they do not understand' the
digniiy of manual labor. They do
not realize thai honors and fortune
may be more readily gained out
side of the learned professions than
in them; and that it is just as hon
orable to swing a hammer or to
hold a plow as ic is to make a
speecn in court or to amputate a
limb. The lesson young men
should be taught as early as possi
ble is that it is not so much what a
man does for a living as how he
does it, and that manual labor is as
honorable as any other.
When a man wants to find fault
ne is willing to spend all his time
looking for it if necessary.
All the world's a stage and all
the supers imagine that they are
siars.

EARTH'S RICHEST RUBY MINES.
Center ol World's Store ol Prec
ous Stones Is Known to Be
Located In Upper Burma.
The world's ruby center is Mo
gok, in upper Burma, some 70
miles north of Mandalay. Here
are the great ruby mines, one of
Burma's most valuable monopolies
says the London Weekly Tele
graph. Indeed, not only does this
country produce the finest of these
coveted gems, but they are recov
ered in such quantities as to enable
her to dominate the market.
Few are aware that, weight for
weight, a'ruby is more valuable
than a diamond. It is estimated
that one the color of pigeon's
blood, weighing five carals, will
sell for ten limes the value of a
diamond of the same weight. Fur
thermore, the price increases with
the size of the stone.
As the "byon" or earth contain
ing the coveted gems, is taken
from ihe ground it is placed in a
great revolving tub. Here ic is
screened and all loose eanh re
moved by water. The residue is
then lipped on the sorting table.
A white overseer carefully exam
ines ihe pile, selecting the true
gems From the worthless debris.
If he's lucky he may at one son
ine find gems worth many thou
sands of dollars, while on the oth
er hand the yield may be but i
hundred or two. The yearly out
put of rubies Irom these mines
totals about $400,000.
BE PREPARED.
"If you think you are beaten
you are; if you thinlc you are
not, you don't; if you like to
win, but you think you can't
it's almost certain you won't.'

About the hrsi question our salesmen will ask you when
try on one of our new

is "How does ic feel?" In other stores they ask "How does
il look?" The difference is that we will first select a hat that
will become you, and we know that a "Mallory" H it will look
right, so what we wane co know is whether the hat feels right
on the head. Be sure to have a look at our window this week
