IF a man had sold one COW thirty

believe it is, but how those who Gre
ate all the wealth and have none of
it themselves can think this the best
government is beyond my compre-
hcnsion.
The above extract is from a letter
published in the Ruralist of last
week and is a fair sample of the t IA
son or folly of the whole communi-
cation. This particular proposition
of ten per cent. compound interest
is not the way to arrive at the best
result by any means. If Mr.. Kit
finger had only kept this Sl25 cow
with all increase, compounded all
nually, what would ba the result?
His 100 COWS would be a very
small herd in comparison. We do
not pretend to know the exact figures
but they can very easily be obtained
by such experts as Kittinger.

Just what logic there may be in
the claim of the Hills for the next

apparent. The Hills country is en-,
titled to only 90 delegates out of a
total of 500. Obviously a conven-
in the Hills would be a hardship to
all the other portions of the state

that it is necessary to travel 700
miles to attend a convention. Surely
90 delegates can travel cheaper than

Napoleon Bonaparte conferred upon
La Tour d'Auvergne the title of First
Grenadier of the French Army" He
had declined promotion to the col

separate him from his brave grena-

distinction which the epithet made ap-

the emperor ordered that his name
should be called at every roll call of the
grenadiers, and that the sergeant
should answer: "Died on the field OF
honor!"
