Follow her into the field, and unless your
ancestors have thrown off on You terribly
10 the formation Of your head, you will see
life ia all its beauty and truth, you will
grow bigger and broader each day, rs you
gradually learn that the universe is I'M
nense. that God is fately great and
7ou are Ultimately small.
But The great lesson she teaches is the
,sson the American people most need to
lay. am not sure but the lack OF this
esson is the cause Of our financial trouble
,odsy; the infinite wisdom OF going slow
Iut sure; the unt 1ce(led policy OF declsr

business on the honest needs OF msnkind
True you don't WIN forty dollars of OF her
odsy and lose more tomorrow, but she
,iyes you pound OF butter worth Thirty
tents, aud she does it every day in the
ear, and while you are sowing the many
'mickle that make the muckle," as the
scotch have il. she aud the grass roots are
making Your land rch even il you haven't
ot any soul TO be enr ched.
