_Have you seen the Roycroft Quarterly? The May issue is a “Stephen Crane
Number.” 25c. a copy or one dollar a year._

East Aurora,
New York.
THE ROYCROFT PRINTING SHOP at this time desires to announce a sister book
to the Song of Songs: which is Solomon’s. It is the Journal of Koheleth:
being a Reprint of the Book of Ecclesiastes with an Essay by Mr. Elbert
Hubbard. The same Romanesque types are used that served so faithfully and
well in the Songs, but the initials, colophon and rubricated borders are
special designs. After seven hundred and twelve copies were printed the
types were distributed and the title page, colophon and borders destroyed.
IN PREPARATION of the text Mr. Hubbard has had the scholarly assistance
of his friend, Dr. Frederic W. Sanders, of Columbia University. The
worthy pressman has also been helpfully counseled by several Eminent
Bibliophiles.
_Bound in buckram and antique boards. The seven hundred copies that are
printed on Holland hand-made paper are offered at two dollars each, but
the twelve copies on Japan Vellum at five dollars are all sold. Every
book will be numbered and signed by Mr. Hubbard._

THE RIDE.
Heigh-ho, the world is green today
(_Steady, my boy, stand still!_)
Old Fool-Heart sings his roundelay
Rides not his Love a-down yon way?
(_Steady, my boy, stand still,_
_And you shall have your will!_)
You see him do you Open-Eyed,
(_Steady, my boy, stand still!_)
You beckon him unto your side,
In with the spur then, after ride!
(_Faster, my lad, oh still,_
_Catch Her a-top the hill!_)
—JOHN MACK, JR.
