Mark Twain
Has become rich, fat, and rs conse~.
quence lazy-or else his talent for
quaint sayings has left him. Ono Of
the best things ever said, in his humor-.
Gus days, was that the vital statistics OF
the United Statte:s Census showed that~
::horc people died at homo
in bed than were kille,t
or fatally injured in railroad accidents:
therefore, it was far safer to travel than
to stay at home. There Is perhaps a
flaw in Marks syllogism, whcthe in
prepises Qr conclusion the reader c,n
determine for himself, but there woAld
be nothing illogical in a statement like
this: All people wish to avoid acci-
dents when travelling: "rhe Burling-
ton" has never lost passenger by an
accident; therefore all people prefer
to travel by '"rhc Burlington" This is
rellablc-for it comes from THE Bur-
lington" itself

Mcssrs Berg & Erickson will sell the
Mccormick harvesting machinges. They
tell us that the Mccormick Co. art.
obliged to make at the rate of one COM
plete machine every minute of the day
in order tc supply their worldwide de
Mccormick being almost as
well known OH the steppe. of Russia the
plains of the Danube and in the winter
harvests of the southern hemisphere.
Australia, South Africa and South
rs tits here. Messrs Berg &
also showed us fac-simile OF
,he Gold Stats Medaille which tie
machine of steel" won at
The great Universal Exposition trials
leld in Vienna last Summer. The Nc
cormick catalogue which, by the way,
hey keeps for gratuitous distribution, is
l work of art and will repay careful,
'eading, while the lithographic poster
# the historic battle of the Monitor
md Merrimac is the finest thing wa
ver seen published. When we take
nto consideration the fact that the Nc
;ormick Co. sold 1O5, ,46s machines in
$50 the popularity of their harvesters
nd mowers and the capacity of their
works affords an interesting
ubject for contemplation.
