THE CITIZEN
The Poem of Life.
Born of love and hope, of ecstacy and
pain, of agony and fear, of tears and joy
dowered with the wealth of two united
hearts—held in happy arms, with lips upon
life's drifted font, blue veined and fair,
where perfect peace finds perfect form
rocked by willing feet and wooed to shad
owey shores of sleep by eiren mother sing
ing soft and low— looking with wonder s
wide and startled eyes at common things
of life and day—taught by want and wish
and contact with the things that touch the
dimpled flesh of babes —lured by light and
flame and charmed by color's wondrous
robes, learning the nse of hands and feet,
and by the love of mimicry beguiled to ut
ter speech—releasing prisoned thought
from crabbed and curions marks on soiled
and tattered leaves—puzzling the brain
with crooked numbers and their changing,
tangled worth —and so through years of
alternating day and night.until the captive
grows familiar with the chains and walls
and limitations of a life.
And time runs on in sun and shade, un
til the one of all the world is wooed and
won. and all the lore of love is taught and
learned again. Again a home is built,
with the fair chamber wherein faint dreams
like cool and shadowy vales, divide the bil
lowed hours of love. Again the fniracle of
birth—the pain and joy, the kiss of wel
come and the cradle song, drowning the
drowsy prattle of a babe.
And then the sense of obligation and of
wrong—pity for those who toil and weep—
tears for the imprisoned and despised—
love for the generous dead, and in the
heart the rapture of a high resolve.
And then ambition, with its lust of pelf
and power, longing to put upon its breast
distinction's worthless badge. Then keen
er thoughts of men, and eyes that see be
hind the smiling mask ot craft—flattered
no more by the obsequious cringe of gain
and greed—knowing the uselessness of
hoarded gold and honor bought from those
who charge the usury of self respect —of
power that only bends a coward's knees
and forces from tlio lips of fear the lies of
praise. Knowing at last the unstudied
gesture of esteem, the reverent eyes made
rich with honest thoughts, and holding
high above all other things--high as hope's
great throbbing star about the darkness ot
the dead —the love of wife and child and
friend.
Then locks of gray and growing love of
other days and half remembered things—
then holding withered hands of those who
first held his, while over dim and loving
eyes death softly pressed down the lids of
rest
And so, locking in marriage vowf his
children's hands, and crossing othera on
the breasts of peace, with daughter's babes
upon his knees, the white hair mingling
with the gold, he journeys on from day to
day to the horizon where the dusk is wait
ing for that nigjit—sitting by the holy
hearth of home, as the last embers change
from red to gray, he falls asleep within tfce
arms of one he worshipped and adored,
feeling upon his pallid lips love's last and
holiest kiss.
The Mouth.
The mouth is the front door of your face.
It is the aperture to the cold storage room
of your anatomy. Some mouths look like
peaches and cream and some look like a
hole chopped into a brick wall to admit a
new door or window. The mouth is a hot
bed of toothaches; the bung-hole of oratory
and a baby's crowing glory. It is the crim
son aisle to our liver and nature's appara
tus for blowing the gas. It i 8 the patriot's
fountain head and the tool-chest for pie.
Without it the politician would be a wan
derer on the faoe of the earth and ihe oor
netist and the chorus girl wonld go down
to nnhonored graves. Tt ia the grocer's
friend, the orator's pride and the dentist's
hope. It puts some men on the rostrum
and many on the atone pile. It is tempta
tion's lunch corner when attached to a
maiden, and tobacconist's friend when at
tached to a man. Without it married life
wonld be a perpetual summer dream and
the dude wonld lose half his attractions.
And most of all and the greatest of all, if
there were no mouths there would bo no
good-bys or happy greetings, no words of
comfort, of hope, no laughter full of sun
shine,or songs fnll of praise; the hired man
conld not be called to dinner and no one
would ask, "Is this cold enongh for you t"
Rain or storm, hail or snow, the letter

Boys shonld learn a Trade.
It i* to 1«> regretted so f" ew °f ,iUr Amer
ican bovs learn any trade. The boy who
searves an apprenticeship in any of the
hundred skilled industries, get* a training
that will be advantageous to him all his
life, and that will very snrely enable him
to earn a living as long as h« lives. It is
a splendid thing for a young fellow to
start out in the world with a good trade.
He can be &« at iff as he pleases, and
does'nt need to knuckle down to anybody,
neither to the boss nor to the foreman, if
he minds his own business and steers clear
of galivantiug. He can nearly always pet
a job at fair pay, and can often have a
chance of traveling to seme other part of
of the country to look for a better job at
higher pay.
Yet a vast number of our American boys
don't want to learn a trade, They are anx
ious to be office boys, or counter jumpers
or salesboys or clerks, or something of
that kind. Stupid fellows, when they
have a chance to become skilled mechan
ics! Why, we were told by a gentleman
the other day that he knew of three youth
ful Americans who were serving as door
boys in a large up town six-story apart
ment house. What show for promotion
have they? They can hardly hope even to
get a janitorship.
We say that boys who need to earn a
living do well to learn a trade, and then
strike out in life, free as the American
flag.

Do You Want to Make Money?
Do You Want to Save Money?
!4~
If you don't want to save money don't
read between these lines.
This ad is written for close each buyers that are always open for
bargains when there are any to be bad, and if things, bad taken their
usual course this winter this ad with all its wonderful bargains would never
bave appeared, but up to Jan. Ist we had a very mild winter
Heavy leather goods and rubber goods have been very much slighted, and
to tell the truth I am over stocked but I bave a plan to unload.
It is simply a matter of business and
concerns only money • saving people.
No others need read between these lines,
My plan to unload my surplus stock of boots, shoes and rubbers is
simply this I have got to lose some money on these, lam not going to
carry them over until next season, I will sell them at any price first.
Leather goods get hard, the life gets out of them, and they are unsaleable
Rubber goods are even worse, for they will rot and become wortbtHio
hsuce you can see at once and understand why this sacrifice must be
made on goods that are now seasonable and just what you need.
One man's dollar is as good as an
other's if he puts it to the right use.
It may cost something to rt;ad be
tween these lines.
If reading low prices will interest you, I will interest you. If yon
don't care for bargains vou miifht as well stop right here. "Crose
road to let you off." Just at this time of the year there are more rubber
goods worn than at any other time, and as rubber goods are pibd around
me until I can hardly see daylight. I will tackle them first, and the
prices I quote are less than first cost and if you are too conscientious to
come ani help me lose some money, you will have to go elsewhere and
'pay a ptofit.
The object is for vou to make monev and
for me to lose it. Can you take part
in such a scheme?

I will sell for twenty davs men's rubber boots 'Lycoming make for
