THOMPSON'S BOOK ARCADE The works of all the leading poets of past and present times are to be found on the bookshelves at TIIOMI'SON'S, Oxford Street, Levin. Spenser's "Faery Qneen." Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound," Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Love Sonnets, and various other standard works may be quoted. Samples ot the works' of Levin poets, also, may be procured at Thompson's. One ol j them, who will do better when he 1 grows older, assures us that— \ ij "Mr Thompson keeps a bookseljj lers shop in Levin - a And iL is the prettiest bookseller's shop that ever was seen. There's books by galore. If you want a nice little book You can do no better than call At Mr Thompson's Jiook Arcade. Levin." There were quite a number of Ohau and Levin and Weraroa poets moved to measured praise by tin? olfer of a prize for the best versified composition. One youthful miss, with a precocious turn for irony, writes:— "There's a stationery shop iu Levin you should know, Where all the coinmonseuso peoplo do go. There are a few more who live round about Should visit this shop wheirer they are out." After considering various merits and weaknesses in the many verses sent in' the judge has decided to award the prize of five shillings to the following effort:— THOMPSON'S JJOuiv ARCADE "Of course you all know this place of renown For good quality goods; its the host in the town. Another Ihing too, the prices are fair, And there's no overcharging or huge proms there; So if yo'i're ever in Levin —this lively little town— Just step into Thompson's and have a quiz round, For they've choice there to distraction, And the result you will find is great) rntisfnetion." JESSIE CAMPBELL. J. W. Thompson BOOK ARCADE, LEVIN.
