The Candle.

BY ELSA BARKER.

Your face, Beloved, is a white, white flame
Upon the world's high altar. In your eyes
The ascending spirit of the sacrifice.
Yearns, in its self-consuming, toward the Name
Blazoned upon the temple. You reclaim

The hopes of long-lost worshipers; they rise
Emboldened for the sacred enterprise
Whose guerdon is beyond the end of fame.
You are the blessèd candle set above

The scripture and the sacrament; for truth
So aids the flaming spirit to aspire-

To shed its radiance on the blood of love.

O yearning soul of consecrated youth,
My soul would light its taper at your fire!
-From The Metropolitan.

OSTERMOOR

[graphic]

A Mattress of Proven Worth is the Only Safe One to Buy

Why buy any mattress but an OSTERMOOR, when you can get the genuine OSTERMOOR with no more trouble than you get the distasteful hair mattress, or the worthless imitation "cotton" mattress-made to sell on the strength of OSTERMOOR fame, but no more the rest-giving OSTERMOOR than a cotton plant is a muslin dress. These substitutes have no reputation to live up to, no "family honor" to maintain. The OSTERMOOR is backed by 52 years of sterling merit.

There is no reason why a mattress shouldn't last longer than the bed. The OSTERMOOR lasts a lifetime-is practically un-wear-out-able; can never lose its shape; is built, not stuffed, so never needs "remaking"; is germ-proof and cannot harbor vermin; is kept everlastingly fresh by an occasional sun-bath.

You spend a third of your life in bed. Is it nice to think of spending that third over dead hair and disease germs? And why toss over the hills and valleys of the ordinary, "just-as-good" mattress? Insist upon the genuine OSTERMOOR,

The Changing Year.

BY LLOYD ROBERTS.
Summer, autumn, winter, spring-
Back and forth the seasons swing;
Sun and snows returning ever,
Like the wild geese on the wing.

When the clean sap climbs the tree,
When the strong winds groan and flee-
Dance the daisies on the hill-tops
To the thin tune of the bee.

When the golden noons hang still,
Crimson flames run down the hill,

And the musk-rats in the bayou
Feel the waters growing chill.
Wood-smoke mists the naked moor;
Dead leaves shroud the forest floor;
When the white frosts cross the threshold,
Summer softly shuts the door.

Like cold love and empty pain,
Fades the sun and drifts the rain.
Tips the world and slips the season,
Swinging wide the doors again.
-From Everybody's Magazine (Nov.).

"As the Loving Are."

R. L. S.

BY ALDIA DUNBAR.
What time I plan to give all care the slip
One little book I carry in my scrip
To cheer my soul along the common way-
Stanch friend of mind, or skies be gold or gray.
Its light-heart humor warms the chilly air,
And makes a feast of plain and scanty fare.
I read a verse when paths grow rough to climb,
Then trudge on gayly to the lilting rime.

Yet must I pause to greet my brother man,
To aid him with his burden when I can;
Else would those well-worn leaves look scorn at me,
As traitor to our pact of sympathy.

Would I not lose great joy of pilgrimage,
Without the gentle soul on each blithe page?
It is the sum of rare good-fellowship,
One little book I carry in my script!

-From The Independent.

Enfoldings.

BY MARY MAPES DODGE.

The snowflake that softly, all night, is whitening treetop and pathway:

The avalanche suddenly rushing with darkness and death to the hamlet.

The ray stealing in through the lattice, to waken the day-loving baby;

The pitiless horror of light in the sun-smitten reach of the desert.

The seed with its wondrous surprise of welcome young leaflet and blossom;

The despair of the wilderness tangle, and grim, taunt ing forest unending.

The happy west wind as it startles some noon-laden flower from its dreaming;

The hurricane crashing its way through the homes and the life of the valley.

The play of the jetlets of flame where the children laugh out on the hearthstone;

The town and the prairie enswirled in the glare of the red devastation.

The glide of a wave on the sands with its myriad sparkle in breaking;

The roar and the fury of ocean, a limitless maelstrom of ruin.

The leaping of heart unto heart with bliss that can never be spoken;

The passion that maddens, and blights the God-given love that enshrines us.

For this do 1 tremble and start when the rose on the vine taps my shoulder;

For this, when the storm beats me down, my soul groweth bolder and bolder.

-From "Poems and Verses."

You can write out your letters-make out an abstract-fill in an insurance policy-enter your card memos-make out your accounts, or a hotel menu-or do any kind of writing you need, on any kind, size or thickness of paper, and space any way you want on

The OLIVER Typewriter

The Standard Visible Writer You can write any of these things yourself if you do not happen to have a Stenographer.

For you can easily learn, with a little practice, to write just as rapidly, and as perfectly, as an expert operator on the OLIVER. Because the OLIVER is the simplified typewriter. And you can see every word you write. About 80 per cent. more durable than any other typewriter, because it has about 80 per cent. less wearing points than most other typewriters.

80 per cent. easier to write with than these other complicated, intricate machines that require humoring"-technical knowledge-long practice and special skill to operate.

Than machines which cannot be adjusted to any special space-with which it is impossible to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd sized documents except you buy expensive special attachments requiring experts to operate.

You can adjust the OLIVER to any reasonable space-you can write on any reasonable size and thickness of paper, right out to the very edge, without the aid of any expensive attachment or special skill, and your work will be neat appearing, legible and clear.

For the OLIVER is the typewriter for the doctor, the lawyer, the insurance agent, the merchant, the hotel proprietor or any man who does his own writing.

Indian Summer.

BY MARGARET SHERWOOD. Faint blue the distant hills before, Yellow the harvest lands behind; Wayfarers we upon the path

The thistledown goes out to find.

On naked branch and empty nest,

The woodland's blended gold and red, Dim glory lies which autumn shares With faces of the newly dead.

Tender this moment of the year

To eyes that seek and feet that roam;

It is the lifting of the latch,

A footstep on the flags of home.

Now may the peace of withered grass
And goldenrod abide with you;
Abide with me- for what is death?
Fall of a leaf against the blue.

-From Scribner's Magazine (Nov.).

The Fugitives.

BY FLORENCE WILKINSON.
We are they that go, that go
Plunging before the hidden blow.
We run the byways of the earth
For we are fugitive from birth,
Blindfolded, with wide hands abroad
That Sow, that sow the sullen sod.

We can not wait, we can not stop
For flushing field or quickened crop;
The orange bow of dusky dawn
Glimmers our smoking swathe upon :
Blindfolded still, we hurry on.

How do we know the ways we run
That are blindfolded from the sun?
We stagger swiftly to the Call,
Our wide hands feeling for the wall.

Oh ye who climb to some clear heaven
By grace of day and leisure given,
Pity us, fugitive and driven,

A Ballad of the Road.

BY CONSTANCE D'ARCY MACKAY.

Oh, a gypsy longing stirs your heart

When Autumn's sounding the rover's call!

Oh, leave the city and leave the mart,

Come out, come out where the red leaves fall, And asters flame by each gray stone wall! Have done with cares that fetter and goad. Heed ye and harken ye one and all, And know the joys of the winding road!"

A veil of purple lies on the hills,

Your step moves swift to some unknown airForgotten music of boughs and rills

The oaks are russet, the maples flare, The sumach's splendor glows here and there, And your weary heart has slipped its load, Oh, bright the sunlight as on you fare Tasting the joys of the winding road! Odors of earth when the wild winds blow, New views to greet you at each hill's crest,

Color and beauty where'er you go

These shall add to your journey's zest. And when the daylight dies in the west A star-hung roof for your night's abode, A bed of pine and a dreamless restThese are the joys of the winding road. Oh, ye of the town who do not know

How blithe and free is the rover's code! Come out, come out where the glad winds blow! There's joy for all on the winding road!

A woman is as old as she looks How old do you look?

The secret is in the pores. Pompeian Massage Cream

clears and cleans them when choked by dust and by talcum powder put on to remove grease and shine. On this all its other work depends.

It Makes a Woman Beautiful

An open skin means a healthy cleanliness and

a free circulation of the blood to the surface. So called "black-heads"

and other disfigurements go with one massage, while the healthy, ruddy glow remains.

Every gentlewoman knows that her attractiveness depends on a clear complexion and good coloring. The most beautiful features in the world are unpleasant with a yellow, oily, muddy skin. Pompeian Cream brings the blood to the pores and removes shine. It contains no grease, so it makes no shine of its own.

Pompeian Massage Cream

Removes Wrinkles Forever

POM

Wrinkles are caused by loose skin. Pompeian Massage Cream is a true skin food, and used with gentle massage fills the little valleys, builds out sunken cheeks and insures smooth, ruddy, firm skin. It also develops the bust, whether small by nature, wasted by illness, or reduced by nursing.

TRADE

MASSAG

Pompeian Cream makes "cosmetics" unnecessary. Nothing else is needed for perfect results. Even face powder (which clogs the pores) should be avoided, as Pompeian Cream removes all face shine. Pompeian Massage Cream is massaged in and then rubbed out-the dirt comes with it.

CREAM

We prefer you to buy of your dealer whenever possible. Do not accept a substitute for Pompeian under any circumstances. If your dealer does not keep it, send us his name, and we will send a 50c. or $1.00 jar of the cream postpaid on receipt of price.

It works by going-not by staying.

All This We Prove With Our Sample-Sent Free

with one copy of our beautifully illustrated book on Facial Massage-a practical course which enables any gentlewoman to become expert in this most necessary of modern aids to cleanliness-if you will send us the name of your dealer and state whether he does or does not sell Pompeian Cream.

Gentlemen who appreciate a clear, ruddy skin, also find it a great luxury, particularly after shaving. It removes the soap rubbed into the pores and takes away the smart after a close shave. Tell your husband, brother or sweetheart about It. It is applied by the best barbers (look for the name and trade mark on the jar) or may be used at home.

No, but when slumbering war-hounds wake
To one's last gasp of breath,

Face combat for one's country's sake
With male disdain of death.
'Twas thus did Nelson live, did die,
Far from his land and home,

Making his roof of storm-swept sky,
His pillow of the foam.

And, if to-day our race recall
His last triumphant doom,
Place wreaths on his unfading pall
And flowers about his tomb,
'Tis to remind us still to keep
Aggression's lust in awe,
And with dominion of the deep
Guard freedom, peace, and law.

Nor yet alone upon the waves
That sentinel our shore,

Service that disciplines, not enslaves,

Should rule us as of yore;

So that our island citadel

May tranquilly respond,

With the clear signal, All is well,

To every sea beyond.

When it arrived it read thus: " Ernest Haeckel gratefully acknowledges the receipt from Andrew Carnegie of a Zumpt microscope for the biological laboratory of the Jena University."

"Hardly a day passes that he does not receive a letter from France informing him that the writer is a descendant of one of Napoleon's marshals; that he has read in the Paris papers of Mr. Bonaparte's great fame and consequence in America, and that he knows that nothing will please the Secretary of the Navy more than to extend a little financial assistance for the sake of old times at Marengo and Austerlitz.
