"Get It At Mefsel’s”

MEISEL’S PHARMACY
101 Luckie St. Atlanta, Ga.
■Illllllllllll
A T Meisel’s the first consideration in drugs
is not how cheaply can they be bought,
but how good. The selling price is adjusted
to the quality and not the quality to the
price. The best the market affords are used
and every drug put in a prescription is the
finest which can be gotten and is everything
the doctor desires.

The Way of Genius.
■ By Minna Irving.
She bought a dozen pads or so
Of paper superfine,
A fountain pen, gold-banded, gemmed
With pearl and olivine,
A quart of ink, and set herself
Industriously to write
Effusions which the editors
Returned with thanks polite.
He took some torn envelope, sheets
Of wrapping paper, too,
A pencH stub and scrawled a tale
When daily work was through.
He sent it to a publisher
Who sponsors famous names,
And lo 1 —it was a masterpiece
That all the world acclaims.
Standing Offer.
The cook who fights
And runs away
Can get ten jobs
The selfsame day.
“She’s extremely extravagant, isn’t
she?”
“Hideously so. Why, she dresses
better than her cook.”

“No, Richard,’’ she replied firmly, "I
cannot accept you. I love you, but I
can never be yours.”
“Why not?” he. demanded.
“I am a member of the Consolidat
ed Sweethearts’ Association, which is
allied with the Lovers’ Union, and I.
am, therefore, pledged to marry none
but a union man. You, I understand,
do not belong to the Lovers’ Union.”
—Boston Transcript.
Interested. '
Old Pa Pscadds—I won’t have you
marrying a mere clerk. You tell that
young man to keep away until he
has an interest in his firm.
Myrtle Pscadds—Why, dad, he has
that now. The manager told him he’d
have to take some interest in his
work or he’d lose his job, and he’s
already done it.—Houston Post.
“I” and “Myself” and “Me.”
When on myself I sometimes turn
My gaze, with introspection stern,
Three persons there I seem to see,
“I” and “Myself,” they are, and “Me.”
“I” stands alone with confidence,
Pugnacious, quick to take offense,
Assertive, masterful and strong.
Forever right and never wrong,
As Lewis Carroll once avowed,
“I” is extremely “stiff and proud."
“Myself” is rather different,
A chap who is less confident,
Yet full conceited—selfish, too,
And steeped in ego, through and
through.
Though others oft “Myself” decry,
He’s very, very dear to “1.”
Unlike the other two is “Me";
A timid little fellow, he;
Self-conscious, given oft to erring,
My scorn and pity both incurring.
Still, though ihe’s shy as he can be,
While few like "I,* 1 ; a lot like “Me.”
—Eliot Harlow Robinson.
