Exploitation even at the side of
the grave! Birth has long been
regarded as a cosily occasion,
sometimes the occasion of profiteer
ing. Diseases during infancy af
ford further opportunities for tak
ing advantage of people's igno
rance. Child labor and other ills
seizes upon the youth almost be
fore he enters adolescence, and
fraudulent schemes of education
nuy carry him into maturity. Adult
lite, of course, is a long stretch of
abuses. Our food, our shelter,
our clothes, our leisure some
where we are almost certain to pay
the penalty of living; many of us
regard ourselves as underpaid. If
we attempt to fly from these de
mands of exorbitancy the loan
shark grins outside the door. Old
age creeps upon us with leering
malevolence. From the cradle on
ward we are harried. And now
comes death to add its finishing
touch of trickery, writes Winthrop
D. Lane in the Literary Review of
Quincy L. Dowd's "Funeral Man
agement and Costs." St. Paul's
question has been answered. The
sling of death lies in its cost; the
victory of the grave belongs to the
undertaker aud the cemetery man
ager. "We bargain for the graves
we lie in."
PLENTY FOR A STARTER.
"Where is Jimmy?" asked the
head of the house, coming home
from work.
"He was very naughty," re
plied his wife. "1 sent him to bed
for swearing."
"Swearing?" roared the indig
nant father. "I'll teach him to
swear!" and he rushed upstairs.
For some minutes the indignant
parental voice resounded through
the house and Jimmy's mother
called:
"John, dear. I'm sure Jimmy
has heard enough for the first lesson."

THERE is no reason why
there should be one standard
for tires and another standard
for lubes.
When the makers of Hartford
Tires put their name on a tube
it stands for 100 Hartford
quality and must carry out the
Hartford service reputation.
To say that Hartford Tubes
are as good as Hartford Tires
means a great deal to many
motorists in this town.

A DREAMER,
BY FRANK L. STANTON.
I keep a-sayin' to myself when summer's sizzin' so,:
"I'd like to be down yonder, where the loneyauckles grow !
I'd like to find the meadows, with the daisies cool an' deep;
And have the winds an whippoorwill to sing me to sleep
An' yet, when I was with 'em in the s'ladows of the pines,
Where iheJiummin' bird was browsin' n the mornin' glory vines,
I was evermore a-sayin,' in the lonesome day an' night:
"I'd like to be up yonder, where the city shines so bright !"
It's still the same old feelin' the restlessness that seems
To keep the soul a-movin' for to realize its dreams !
An' when we realize 'em. an' reach the highest hill.
We're longin' lor the valley, an' we're old-time dreamers still.
ABSENCE
In lonely hunger, lo; my soul cries out
Where strange, hushed silence tills die long night through,
My heart is wearied with old hurt and doubt,
Longing for what it only finds in you.
Dreams haunt my sleep; and waking there I find
The empty pillow, where another head should rest
Then sleep again, through midnight mystery.
Seeking the lotus in my lonely quest.
There are no cures for hunger such as mine
That seeks release, the mystic darkness through.
Hence I refuse to drink love's storied wine
Unless I drink it from a cup with you.
Go on sad years and lei me live in dreams;
Break fresh new dawns, like eastern sorcerer.
Leave me in the sunshine, with its golden beams;
Though kept apart, leave me this love of her.
Far down the West the sun goes out to rest
While through yon portals cloud-craft slowly stir.
These quickly pass, then hurry on their quest,
While 1 await the passioned lips of her.
RETIREMENT.
"What is your occupation?"
asked the ju dge, sternly.
"I haven't any," replied the
man. "1 just circulate around, so
to speak."
"Please note," said the judge,
turning to the clerk, "thai ihis
gentleman is retired from circula
tion for thirty days."
