We O(ler With Pride

The name PHILIPPINE MAHOGANY is an honored one, both with our trade and the buying public, To maintain the real value of this name and to conform with rulings of the Federal Trade Commission, the qualifying adjective "Philippine" should always be used in describing this lumber and the ptoducts made therefrom.

To Helen

(By Edgar Allen Poe)

Helen, thy beauty is to me

Like those Nicean barks of Yore, That gently, o'er a Perfumed sea, The weary' wayworn wanderer bore To his own native shore.

On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thY classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home, To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome.

Lo ! In yon brilliant window niche, How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thY hand ! Ah, Psyche, from the regions which Are holy land !

Some Driver

An elderly man got into a taxicab. It was a big city, the time was noon, and the trafEc was heavy. The taxi driver noticed that his fare wore a hearing device on one ear. It aroused his curiosity, so, pointing to it, he asked.

"Those things any good?"

The gentleman said, "Yes, I could hardly get along without it."

The driver was thoughtful a moment, then said: "Oh, well, I guess we all have our troubles. Take me, nevv-t'6 practically blind."

Hcrrry Ccrroll, Song Writer

Harry Carroll, famous writer of popular songs' always wrote of sunshine and happiness, and by so doing brought world's of happiness to the hearts of people. He wrote, for instance "Chasing Rainbows," "She is the Sunshine of Virginia," "There's a Girl in the Heart of Maryland," "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," "It Takes a Little Rain With the Sunshine," and others of like character.

".*Or.t *"

Said Henry Watterson: "I would compromise war, I would compromise glory. I would compromise everything at that point where hate comes in, where misery comes in, where love ceases to be love, and life begins its descent into the valley of the shadow of death. But I would not compromise truth. I would not compromise right.

Philosophic

We like a rnan who comes right out and says what he thinks; especially when he agrees with what we think.

A Man cnd cr Plcrn

The thing needed is not plans, but men. A well-thoughtout plan without a man to execute it, is a waste of money; and as a rule, the more the details have been wrought out by a man who is not going to execute them himself, the larger will be the amount of money wasted. Get a man with a plan, and the more money he has the greater chance he has of doing a larger work. But a man without a plan is as bad as a plan without a man-the more he has the more he wastes. (Arthur T. Hadley.)

A Poetic Hcrsh

(After each line is the name of the poet who wrote it')

I only knew she came and went, Like troutlets in a Pool; She was the phantom of delight' And I was like a fool.

"One kiss, dear maid," I said and sighed, Coleridge "Out of those lips unshorn." Longfellow She shook her ringlets round her head, Stoddard And laughed in merry scorn. Tennyson

Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! Tennyson

You hear them, oh, my heart? Alice CarY

'Tis twelve at night by the castle clock, Coleridge Beloved, we must Part ! Alice CarY

"Come back! Come back!" she cried in grief, CamPbell

"My eyes are dim with tears- Bayard Taylor How shall I live through all the days Mrs. Osgood All through a hundred years?" T. S. Perry

'Twas in the pride of summer time She blessed me with her hand; We strayed together, deePlY blest Into the Dreaming Land.

The laughing bridal roses blow, To dress her dark brown hair, No maiden may with her comPare, Most beautiful, most rare !

I clasped it on her sweet cold hand, The precious golden link; I calmed her fears, and she was calm' "Drink, pretty creature-drink."

And so I won my Genevieve, And walked in Paradise; The fairest thing that ever grew' Atween me and the skies.
