THE TEST.
Have I helped when I could?
Have I cheered when X should?
Have I given my best
To the tasks that were mine?
Have I wandered along
With a snatch o£ a song?
If I have, then tonight
I've no cause to repine.
Have I kept my heart clean
From the base and the mean?
Have 1 kept my head up
In the heat of the fray?
Have I made a new friend?
Then tonight, at the end
Contented I am
With the work of the day.
I’m richer you say,
Than*l was yesterday,
For nothing I’ve done
That will add to my pride;
I’ve won no new fame
That will cling to my name.
But if I’ve been true
I can sleep satisfied.
—Detroit Free Press.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.
Ag rivers, when they overflow,
drown those grounds, and ruin those
husbandmen, which, whilst they flow
ed calmly betwixt their banks, they
fertilized and enriched; so our pas
sions, when they grow exorbitanr and
unruly, destroy those virtues to which
they may be very serviceable whilst
they keep within their bounds.—
Boyle.

THE CANTICLE
OF THE ROSE.
"The petals of the rose are a medi
cine which can aimo'st hoa! a mortal
wound. The rose is so young of face
and line, she appears so casually and
humbly, we forget she is an ancient
physician.
Yet so much tradition is wrapped
around her stalk, it is strange she is
not a mummy-. Her ashes can be
found in the tombs of the Pharoahs,
in everlasting companionship with the
ashes of the lotus and the papy-rus
Plant. Her dust travels on every des
ert wind.
No love song can do without her.
No soldier and no priest can scorn
her. There were the Wars of the
Roses. And there was a Rose in
Sharon. Our wandering brother Dante
found a great rose in Paradise.
There are white roses, sweet ghosts
under the pine. There are yellow
roses, little suns in the shadow! But
the nonmal bloom Is rod, flushed with
foolish ardors, laughing, shaking off
the gossamer of years. She remem
bers Love, but not too well, if Love
is pain. There Is no yesterday that
can daunt her or keep her dear heart
laughter down. In the springtime her
magic petals bring God to the weary
and give Heaven’s strength to the
wavering in heart.
Crushed by the wheel of Fate, her
velvets often torn by the wind,’ her
name is still "Romance.” She can
turn the slave to a woman, the woman
to something a little more than mor
tal.
Oh. how bravely, with the same life
giving red, with the last of her virgin
strength, she blooms and blossoms on
almost every highway. We find her
on the road to Benares, on the road
to Mecca, on the road to Rome, and
on the road to Nowhere.
Her red petals can almost heal a
mortal wound.—The Outlook

Fashioncible Furs at Enticing Prices
Andrews Furs Stand For The Best in Quality, Novelty, Variety and Economy
Furs are among the oldest articles of clothing which have contributed to the comfort and appearance of humanity. The idea
of snatching the jackets of his four-footed brothers and enemies to shield his own tender and unprotected skin must have occur
red very early to prehistoric man. Even today there is a sort of primitive appeal about rich, glossy skins, fashioned into gar
ments of the utmost luxury and comfort.
The becomingness of furs, no less than their beauty and utility, attracts the fastidious woman,—for, as a setting to feminine
loveliness, they have scarcely an equal.
Natural raccoon, grey fox. white fox, red fox, the season’s latest novelties, rich, black glossy fox, the ever popular minks
are the most modish Furs for the season. Customers buying Andrews Furs can be assured that they will be in good styles for
several seasons, as models are carefully selected with that end in view. A guarantee goes with every Fur we sell. We guarantee
the qualities and styles to be the latest and best and we can save you money on every purchase you make of us.

Current fashions in Muffs and Scarfs are not only very pleasing but very practi
cal. Among the newer models are many variations of the becoming sailor collar
and the natural effect produced by using entire skins with heads, tails and
paws which is now in high favor. Muffs are still large in the more elaborate sets.
Round and pillow Muffs are both well liked. The beauty of our Furs and their
moderate prices will insure them great popularity.
