The great want of the world to-day is

not settle this controversy between mo

During the revolutionary war there
was heavy piece of timber to be lifted,
perhaps for some fortress, and a corporal
was overseeing the work and he was CIV

lifted: 'Heave away. there 20 heave"
| Well, the timber was too heavy; they
could not get it up. There was gentle
man riding by on a horse and he stopped
and said to this corporal: why don't

Supply and demand owns the largest
mill ON the earth, and all the rivers roll
over their wheel. and into their hopper
they put all the men, women and chill

and the blood and the bones redllen the

diabolical law of supply and demand
