A HEART LONGING I should like to go back to the little old town Where she lived in the long, long ago, When I thought that her eyes were the loveliest brown And her brow was far whiter than snow, I should like to go back to the tree-shaded lane Where we strolled in the hush of the eve With my heart throbbing swiftly a drumming refrain While her hand rested light on my sleeve I should like to go back to the banks of the brook Where she told me it never could be— To go back to the shade of the vine-bowered nook Where I pleaded my suit on my knee. I should like to go back, just to see her once more— It would give me great joy to do that Since she married my rival who worked in the store She has waxed most excessively fat. I should like to go back, for they say he is bald And in manner is wondrously meek, And they whisper at times he is viciously mauled If he pricks up his courage to speak. I should like to go back, just to stroll to their gate In the beautiful hush of the night, And to thank him for thus interrupting my fate, And to tell him it served him just right! —Wilbur D. Nesbit, in Munsey's. ATTRACTED ATTENTION One of our Southern salesmen brought home the following from his last trip ‘The peoprietor of a tan-yard built a stand on one of the main | streets of a Virginia town for the purpose of selling leather and buying new hi When he had completed the building, he considered for a long | time what sort of a sign to put up to attract attention to the new | establishment. Finally a happy thought struck him, He bored an auger hole through the door-post and stuck a calf’s tail into it with the tufted end outside. Alter awhile be saw a solemn-faced man standing near the | door looking at the sign. The tanner watched him a minute and then stepped out and addressed him, | “ Good-morning, sir!” he said. “ Morning!" said the other, without taking his eyes off the sign, Want to buy leather?” asked the tanner, No! Got any hides to sell?" Are you a farmer?” What are you, then?” “Tam a philosopher. I've been standing here for an hour try- ing to figure out how that calf got through that auger bole. The Boot Strap. Miss Donotura Ktumrxe, the astronomer, was talking about the difficulties and intricacies that astronomy presents to the lay mind. For instance,” she said, smiling, “there is the well-known story of the meteorite that fell oa a Vermont farm in 189¢. “It wasa valuable meteorite, and the landlord at once stepped up and claimed it. * All minerals and metals on the land belong to me.’ he said. * That's in the lease.’ But the tenant demurred. ‘This meteorite,’ he said, ‘wasn’t on the farm, you must remember, when the lease was drawn up.’ “The landlord perceived the justice of that claim. He thought a moment. Then he said, decisively : ‘I claim her as flying game.’ “But the tenant was ready for him. ‘She's got neither wings nor feathers,’ he said. ‘Therefore, as ground game, she's mine.’ “They continued their argument, and in the heat of ita rev- enve officer, arriving with a truck, proceeded to put the meteorite aboard, ‘I claim her for the government,’ he said, ‘as an article introduced into this country without payment of duty.’”"—| Rochester Herald.

Dealers now have Makaroff Russian Cigarets in tens~if they can get them. If your dealer has them, you are lucky—so is he—to have placed his order in time. I have been telling you the supply was limited —and it is. Workmen to make these goods cannot be picked up casually in America. I offered them to dealers only recently —they have taken all we can make and are asking for more. The reason—a cigaret made to smoke and not, primarily, to sell. Don’t believe it? Try them today. If your dealer hasn't them, I can still supply you direct with the boxes of 100 only —packed in ced either style shown above—at $2.50 the hundred— cash with order, Your money back instantly and without question if the cigarets fail to please—and you needn't return the cigarets—a guarantee that protects you trom both loss and bother, Makaroff Company of America 95 Milk Street, Boston, Mass.
