Fares Reduced to South America ANE’ age of travel to South America has begun. A few months ago the U. S, Government allocated four superb sister ships to the South American trade.

Doubleday, Page & Co. O tigerling of Hindustan, No wolf of bellicose Apulia Was half so dangerous to man As gentle, far too gentle, Julia. Her charm and loveliness combined Would not have been so detri- mental To all the local peace of mind If Julia had not been so gentle. Because she couldn't treat ‘em rough Her conquests grew like Alex- ander’s, Though some stuff Like Noble Dill and Sanders. were pretty feeble Newland No, Julia wasn’t quite a flirt; She wanted everybody happy, And simply couldn’t bear to hurt A youth, however soft and sappy. By Herbert, Julia’s brother's son, And Julia’s niece, dear little Flor- ence, Exasperating deeds were done Provocative of deep abhorrence. But nothing happened—nothing much, Or not a thing that needs de- ploring ; And Julia still is doing such, And all the youth are still adoring. This Tarkington can really write; For style he beats the whole ca- boodle; (You'll find a thing of pure delight In Gamin, Julia’s Gallic poodle). He does not hate, he does not wail, In gloom and filth he seeks no prizes; Of you and me he tells a tale, And when he laughs he sym- pathizes. A. G. A Millionaire in the Making “T hear you've quit clerking and are going into business.” “Yes; I picked up cheap a penny weighiig machine and a good soda fountain second hand, got the agen- cy for Goo-Goo Chocolates and have a cellar full of hooch and a doctor friend around the corner, so I’m going to start a drug store.” A memory course is a great in- vention. After taking a memory course, instead of forgetting Brown’s name altogether as you formerly did, you now remember that Brown’s name is Smith.
