Corn Meal.

Life is not made up of blank, dead things. That corn meal was not just to allay hunger; it was full uf visions that, through some spiritual osmosis, made the palate leap for joy. One could taste it in tjy cooing and wooing of the meadow-larks in the luttering field, and the coy fragrance of the morn'mr glory, climbing the green stalks. The slow, civamy grinding of the water mill preserved all these fancies, and put them into the meal to give it flavor, and if you do not taste it, vou belong to the hurrying, scurrying civilization of commerce, which ha cut the heart out of the corn and turned its soul into money. --Ohio State Journal. Some Rules of Life. This is what you shall do, love the earth, the sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote var income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue p t concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of n,.'ii; cro freely with powerful uneducated persons, and with the young and mothers of families, read these loaves (his own works) in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any book and dismiss whatever insults your own soul. Walt Whitman. The Inevitable. "Yuu don't resent that successful candidate's proud and haughty manner?" "Nope," rejoined Farmer Corntassel. '-The fact that he's in politics is all the guarantee I want sooner ur later he'll meet with some kind of a terrible finish." Washington Star. Wouldn't Stand It. "Look here!" exclaimed the angry chappie in the evening suit; "this is an outrage! I've been mistaken for a waiter twice." "Sh-h!" whispered the proprietor of the restaurant. "Not so loud. I know it. Two waiters have already quit on account of the mistake and I don't want the rest to go. "-Cleveland Leader.

The trite comment upon success of any sort that "there is everything in knowing how" is particularly applicable to the business of advertising. Merchants generally advertise their business, but not many of them regard advertising as a part of their business; that is they do not put business methods and business brightness into their advertising.
