Nothing but the appearance of man
Of honesty, energy and ability can
save France from a convulsion which
may unsettle Europe. These are the

Probably many persons would laugh
at the idea of finding anything inter-

to make up actual human life. The
news columns give you dime novel lit
erature, facts perhaps, but hideously
distorted and exceptional; the adver-
tising columns give you the life like
of Balzac and Dickens. Per-
suing such train of thought ran my
eye over the pages of a Washington
