THE LITTLE TAILOR ON THE HILL

By Margaret Widdemer.

I asked the little tailor as he sewed upon the hill, I “How can the little busy bee the poet’s words fulfill?, How could that little animal, suppose he had the powers, (Or anybody else) improve already shining hours?” Says he, “Oho I You’re very slow! Why, shine them with Sapolio 1” I asked the little tailor as he sat a-catching flies, “Why was the man who jumped within the briar bush so wise? For leaping into brambles, I would plainly say to you,' Is not a thing the average man is very apt to do!” “Oh, don’t you know Why he did so? —... In that Lush was Sapolio!” “Oh, little tailor,” once said I, “I wish you’d tell to me, Why, when I take my walks abroad, so many poor I see; And why they’re alwafVs dirtier than anyone I’ve seen, And even have objections sto my , garments being clean ?” Said he, “They go All dirty so, Because they’ve no Sapolio!”

I asked the little tailor as he smoked one windy night, “Pray tell me why the little dogs delight to bark and bite, For, though I own a little dog, I do not think that he Has ever barked or bitten at my friends or yet at me !” “Dogs are a foe To dirt, and so Bite those who hate Sapolio I”

I sat down by the tailor on the hill s .jaud asked him this: "Why can you always ’tell me what the reason for things is? And why are both your wisdom and,, your scissors always bright,. So they light our little village on the very darkest night?” "Before’ you go,” He said, "Just know The answer to all’s Sapolio!” I met the little tailor with my Grecian Hist’ry bodk, Said I, "I wish at Hercules you’d give a little look, And tell me how it was he cleaned the Augean stables so - By simply turning into them a little river’s flow?” "That river’s flow, All writers know, Contained,” said he, “Sapohol”

I watched the little stars that shine above the world so high, And I saw them wink and wiggle all in rows along the sky, Then said I unto the tailor, as I watched each little star: “Now don’t you often wonder what those starlets really are?” “Wonder? Oh, no! Those stars that glow” Are pans shined with Sapolio!”

I said’unto the tailor, “I can’t real*ly understand Why Macbeth's wife made all that fuss about her stained hand? They say she used to walk around the basement stairs at night, And wail about her fingers till the house was in a fright I” He said, "Her woe, You surely know Was lack of Hand Sapolio 1"

Hints on Giving.

A writer in Lippincott's Magazine makes these suggestions on giving. We should not give people things they don’t want. We should avoid giving anybody the mumps or the chicken-pox if we can help it Do not give a friend the c.ild shoulder without baked-beans and hot coffee to go with it. A man should not give a lady a kiss unless he thinks she would enjoy It, except 1n the case of his wife and his mother-in-law. Do not give red suspenders to a total strnn»,er; he might prefer those of a pale-b'.ue shade instead. Do not present a bucking broncho to a tall, pale num of sedentary habits, as he would not likely live long to enjoy it. ' When yon give castor-oil to a howling Infant give It for Its. Intrinsic worth, and not merely as an evidence of your regain.

A New Standard.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

R. G. Dun & Co.’s ClliCdOO. Weekly Review of Trade * ' I says: Business generally entered upon another year’s activity under less unfavorable conditions than were feared, and the outlook seems less apprehensive. Large forces of men are gradually finding re-etaployment, although at lower wages, and as few objections aro urged to readjustments now being enforced by employers, serious labor controversies are not looked for. The volume of current dealings in staple lines is satisfactory. Retail trade has been good in seasonable necessities, and the wholesale branches report steady demand in dry goods, clothing and shoes. Advices from country dealers are of an encouraging character. New buildings and other heavy improvements contemplated promise X larger use of lumber and materials. Oliver elements of strength are strong buying of foodstuffs at higher prices, an ample supply of money for legitimate enterprise, and an absence of striking mercantile defaults. With the resumption of work in the iron and steel mills there is assurance of employment for many tnonths. Failures in the Chicago district num-ber--35 r -a gai nst 33 for the first week of 1903... .

Grain shipments aggregate 2,359,500 bushels, an increase of 10.03 per cent over a year ago. A wider fall of snow has protected a larger area of winter wheat. Increased values induced freer marketing of grain. Compared with the closing a week ago, corn advanced 1% cents and oats and wheat each 1 cent. Live stock receipts were 330,588 head, agaiast 359,357 a year ago. Supplies do not show the increase looked for. Shipping demand for heavy hogs and the best sheep was urgent at an advance in each of 10 cents per hundredweight.

~ Retail trade has been n6W YOTK. somewhat slow to recover from holiday dullness, partly because of the bad weather, which also retarded collections to some extent. Traffic was impeded and shipments of merchandise delayed. On the other baud, low temperature stimulated the demand for seasonable goods and burdensome stocks in the hands of dealers were reduced. Jobbers and manufacturers in those lines received supplementary orders and the wool market became firmer in tone, although actual sales did not increase materially. Mills and factories report irregular conditions, some industries opening the new year under very favorable auspices, while other branches are extremely quiet. ■ Latest returns of railway earnings for December are 5.4 per cent above those of last year. In the leadihg manufacturing industry the year opens with quiet conditions as to demand, but much irregularity in the matter of wages. Numerous reductions went into effect and several others are contemplated. During the last quarter net earnings of the leading producers were less than half those of the corresponding months of 1902, and similarly unsatisfactory exhibits were made by other concerns. These official returns indicate the heavy contraction in this industry, and there was a very large decrease in orders on hand at the opening of the year. Failures this week in the United States are 400, against 232 last week, 284 the preceding \veek and 350 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 37, against 17 last week, 22 the preceding week and 24 last year.
