Inc Lifts Things the Most Valuable.
Comparatively few people regard; aen
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or smother,
with ideas that seemed calculated to re-
ncc some OF the little Elections of life.
Usually such ideas are dismissed with
out further thought.
why don't the railroad company
make its car windows So that they can
be slid up and down " thout breaking
Tie PASSENGERS back?' exclaims the
traveller. III | were running the road I
would make them in such a way"
What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking Off" grumbles the
cook. "IIe never had to work over a
s.Qvc, or he would have known how IL
ought to have leen fxe1."
Hang such a collar button" growls
the man who is late for breakfast. "IfI
were in the business I'd make buttons
hat uldn'tslip out, or break of, OF
Ygouge out the back Of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forget
about their grievances and begin to
think OF something else. II they would
pa down at the next convenient oppor-
unity, put theirideos bout car windows
fucepans, and collar buttons into prac.
+ .+saspc, and then apply for patents
