conducted on q grand scale. They will

They spurn small business. They
talk superoilliously- of those who do NOT
overlook the little leakages that waste 60
much money in every concern. To hear
them one might think they were above the
ordinary affairs of life, aud that nothing
was worthy oftheir time except discover
Ing California or oonquering . kingdom.
Yet no man ever made fortune, or
rose to greatness in any department, with.
