Old Trees

A great tree stands alone on yonder hill, With out-stretched arms that reach for sun and rain, Defying all the winds that beat in vain, To break or bend the stubborn monarch's will. Each year the roots bore deeper in the earth

Holding this old tree more firmly in, While fevered grasses feel a closer kin

To clapping leaves, each year new birth Sings to the God of all in nature song

We see Him in this living monument, That sways its graceful body, still unbent By wind or ternpest through the years so long. Days seem heavy with their winds and scars, But trees grow strong, while reaching for the stars.

-Belle Van Watts.

WANTED_A MAN

WANTED-A man for hard work and rapid promotion; a man who can find things to be done without the help of a manager and three assistants.

A man who gets to work on time in the morning, and does not imperil the limbs of others in an effort to be first off the job at night.

A man who is neat in appearance.

A man who listens carefully when he is spoken to, and asks only enough intelligent questions to insure the accurate carrying out of instructions.

A man who moves quickly and makes as little noise as possible about it.

A man who looks you straight in the eye, and tells the truth every time.

A man who does not pity himself for having to work.

APPLY ANYWHERE: in the midst of unemployrnent, the entire business world is searching for such men as this.

THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T SAY

It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke, tr'or the word that stings the deepest is the word that's never spoke.

Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, Then he'll do a heap o' thinkin' bout the words you didn't say.

-James Whitcomb Riley.

Contradiction

Ike: "Vot vill you have, Chakey?"

Jakey: "I vould like a drink of contradiction."

fke: "Vot is dot?"

Jakey: "Vell, you put in de viskey to make it strong; und den you put in de vater to make it veak; und den you put in de lemon to make it sour; und den you put in de sugar to make it sveet. Den you raise de glass und you say-'Here's to you !'-und den you drink it yourself."

MOifHER

In the golden hall of memory, Enshrined in the choicest place, fs a rare sweet picture, dear to me Of my mother's smiling face. And I see the love in her shining eyes, So earnest, brave, and good, And feel the throb of the loving heart, That always understood. Mother-o-Mine, the glad years bring Treasures not gathered in worldly mart, My heart is light and the way is clear On the sunlit road where fowers cling.

That Was His Name

The new foreman of the lumber yard was named Dodgin. fle was. making the rounds of the yard the first morning, when he came upon two of the yard workers down behind a pile, smoking. As he walked up, one of the men asked:

"Who are you?"

He said: "I'm Dodgin, the new foreman."

The other said: "So are we. Sit down and have a smoke."

DIFF'ARENT TONGUES

"I speak four languages" said the door man of a European hotel to an American tourist, "French, German, Eng. lish, and American."

The tourist said: "That's only three. English and American are the same."

The door man said: "Oh, no sir, they're not. Now if an Englishman came up to me on a rainy day, f would say to him-'Oh, I say, what extraordinary shocking weather we're having, don't you think? I dare say there'll be quite a bit of it ahead.' But if you came up, I would say: 'For the love of Mike, ain't this lousy weather? Sorta gives a guy the pip, don't it?"'
