Memories

Whatlipsmylips have kissed, and where, and why, I have forgotten, and what arms have lain Under my head till morning; but the rain Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh Upon my glass and listen for reply, And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain For unremembered lads that not again Will turnto me at midnight with a cry. Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree, Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one, Yet knows its boughs more silent than before; I cannot say what loves have come and gone I only know that summer sang in me A little while, that sings in me no more.

By EDNA VINCENT MILLAY.

A Good Scotch Prayer

Some hae meat that canna eat And some would eat that want it: But we hae meat and we can eat Sae let the Lord be thanket.

Tolerance

People whoreally have God in their hearts have no disposition to quarrel with others concerning their method of worship.

Another Good Advertisingidea

Babson says: "Advertising has become a great economical factor for the producing and steadying of business. Theoldform of advertising, which was largely of the luxury type, has been replaced by a new productive form. This new form of advertising has come to stay and could become in preventing business panics such as we have had in the past."

Some Occupation

In a golfing party down in Florida of which George Ade, the famous humorist, was a member, an elderly gentleman was much interested in getting Mr. Ade's ideas on life. "Mr. Ade," he asked, "How can a man past fifty, practically retired, spend his time interestingly, even thbugh he has everything he wants, without working?"

"Oh, I don't know," said Ade, "It's pretty nice to'spend a winter down here golfing. Then if a man has a big country home like mine up in Indiana, he can go there in the spring and sit out on the front porch and listen to the hardening of his arteries."

Double

Golfer: "What do you think I made the course in this afternoon ?"

Wife: "Considerably more."

Golfer: "Considerably more than what?"

Wife: "Considerably more than the score you wene getting ready to claim."

The Change

There was a man in our tourn Who happened to advance, His left foot very far in front, When taking up his stance. And when he found he got a hookWhich wasn't very nice. He put his right foot out in front And then he got a slice.
