The Sham and the Real.

Every good thing has its host of i'm 'ta-
tors every genuine article its counterteits.
Bad manners aud wicked habits have
theirs also but he who shams the bad
never boasts of it. while they who ape the
virtues of the good or simulate the genuine
never hesitate to place the counterfeit
before the public in their most alluring
tones. When these people initiate they
always choose pronounced type or popu-
lar subject to copy from and when they
claim to be as good "So-and -So,,' or TO
sell an article equal to "So-and-So, the
public may depend upon 1t that MIR. so
and-Son aud his article are always the best
of the kind. Thus the sham is always
proving the genuine merit OF the thing 1t
copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen produce
and popularize an article of household use
such as the ROYAL Baking Powder, whose
convenience, usefulness, and real merit
make for itself an immense and universal
sale. A hundred imitators arise on every
hand, and as they hold out their sham
articles TO the public, yelp in chorus, buy
this it's Just as good as Royal, and much
cheaperp5 The Royal Baking Powder Is
the standard the world over, and its inita-
tors in their cry that theirs is las good as
Royal' are all the time emphasizing this
fact In their laborious attempts TO show
by analysis and otherwise that the SNOW
ball" brand has as much raising power las
the Royal; or that the Resurrection"
powder is as wholesome las Royal or
that the .Earthquake" brand is "as pure
