twice, as to what I think of America.
When think of what America has done
IN one hundred years-that she now has
sixty or seventy millions of people, and
has doubled in population every twenty
i've years--I am beWiIdered by your
lutllre prospect. II your country goes
on IN the future, as in the past, you will
IN another hundred years have two hum
etfed millions OF peoplei And you may
nave. In America you have many more
forests to fell. many thousand more acres
OF land to reclaim. In Europefwe have
no more forests to fell, although we may
nave 10 reclaim the land sometimes.
W hen think upon the state of affairs in
Europe, OF her standing armies, of the
Homanoffs and Cars of Russia-the
prayers of the people asking God to bless
gunpowder-I turn TO Chicago TO see the
happy American people, intent upon the
price OF stocks or wheat, at the very mo-
ment when twenty centuries of Christ
ianlty have rendered the people of the
old world but ready to be called upon to
cut each others throats!
II you are OIL the road to prosperity,
France can teach you-not how to work,
but how to rest. You live too fast: YOU
burn both ends; you miss lots of happi-
ness IN the struggle for wealth. You
want your thousands-a million, ten
lnliIlon-and when you get them you do
not own the millions-they own you. In
France our small shop-keeper locks his
shop from 1890 until 2:30-locks out his
customers-so as to be happy for few
hours each day with his wife and chill
dren. He gets more enjoyment out of
lie than the American who rrIsheS
away with sign on his door, BE back
III five minutes-gone to dinnerp'
One of the results Of this mode of living
may be seen in your splendid landscape
plastered all over with signs and adver-
tisements for-"Liver Pills ~ If my adj
vice is not presumptious, you have only
to say in my country, behind the door,
Il am an American" and it always
opens. But / say to you: Make money,
but don't make that all; try to live hap
PLY and long-you will never have an
other chance.

An unusually large funeral procession-a
policeman said there were 21O carriages in it

was blocked. and every one was delayed and
ut least one carriage. in which were two
Brooklyn ladies returning home. was badly
damaged.
This Brooklyn carriage was caught In the
sweep Of the big funeral. and when the driver
OF one Of the mourning carriages was warned
not TO approach too closely he pressed on until
the pole Ct his carriage crashed through the
rear OF the Brooklyn carriage.
Tho ladies dismounted and appealed to the
policemen on duty for protection. but got but
cold comfort from tho officers. who refused to
arrest the offending driver. or to get his name
or number for the ladies. incidentally. there
was an unusual amount OF unnecessary cab

rowdy demonstration suggested the need Of
much greater method in handling large funer-
