Much has been said, in verse and prose, about
cotton being king, and coal and god. The staple
may be 'ruer'' in its sphere; coal is good thing
for steam and heating purposes generally, and gold
is very nice when one has plenty of it. But of &ll
kings the one most to be dreaded is the Fire King,
and the best way to guard against its ravages is to
