IT is said that if lion IN taking his
prey, misses his leap, he will not follow 1t
any further, but as though he were asham.
ed, he turns round, and slowly, step by
step, measures the exact length between
the two points, as if to find how much too
short, or how much beyond the mark he
had made his leap. Sherman Page, like
the lion, his leaps for prey have, at times
been TOO short, at others too long. Would
it not be we'll for him to look the past
over little, noting down his mistakes in
measuring, and give up this continual
warfrre. The world only measures US
We measure others. Sherman Page "meas
ures with his own yard STICK" and tht
whole state of Minnesota is fast finding
out what manner Of man he is.
