CHICAGO VERSUS INDIA.
See now and Judge! In the village OF
User Jang on the road to Montgomery
there be four Changer women who WIN
now cOrn-some seventy bushels year.
Beyond their hut lives Purun Dass; the
mOney-lender. who on good security LENDS

Singh. the smith. mends the village plow-
some thirty, broken at the share, in Joo
DAYS; and Hukm Chund, who is letter
writer and head OF the little club under the
travellers tree, generally keeps the village
posted in such gossip az the barber ana
midwife have not yet made puohc pro-
perty.
Chicago husks and winnows her wheat
by the million bushels. n hundred banks
lend hundreds of millions Of dollars in the
wear. and scores of factories turn out
plow-gear and machinery by steam. scores
Of daily papers do work which Hukm
Chund and the barber and the midwife
perform. with due regard for public opln-
ion, in the village Of lsser Jang. SO far as
manufactures 90. the difference between
Chicago on the lake and User Jang on the
Montgomery road is one of degree Only
and not of kind. As far as the under
standing Of the uses of life. goes User
Jang. for all its seasonal cholers, has the
advantage over Chicago.
Jowaia Singh knows and takes care 70

fields on the outskirts Of the village, but
he is not urged by millions Of devils TO run
