and noble are happy by right The
rich man is he who, being young, has
the rights of old age; being old, the
lucky chances of youth; vicious, the
respect OF good people; q coward, the

nothing, the fruits of labor. Car

The colossal pedestal looks up to the
pigmy superstructure. How tall the
manikin is! He is on my back. A
dwarf has an excellent method of be-

himself upon the others shoulders
But that the giant should let him do

we have in England I649 and in
France 1893. That the lion can
again become a jAckass, this is
surprising but fact. What happi-

charge of everything. Surely he is
generous to take this trouble for

he knows what it is; it is his business.
