If there was any prospect of
your paying just penalty before a

Determination of Values.

Tennyson could take a worthless
sheet OF paper and write poem on
it and make it worth $4,000. That's
genius.
Vanderbilt could write a few
words on a sheet OF paper and make
it worth 100000. That's capital
The United States can take an
ounce and quarter OF gold and
stamp an eagle bird on it and make
it worth $40. That's money,
A mechanic can take metal worth
SIS and make it into watch springs
worth 100000. That's skill.
A merchant can take an article
worth seventy. five cents and sell it
for $l.50. That's business,
A lady can purchase $3.50 hat,
but she prefers one worth $27
That's foolshness.
The ditch digger works ten hours
a day and hauls several tons oil
earth for SO. That's labor.
Bryan proposed to take a coin
worth ffty.two cents, and with il
pay up an indebtedness OF 81
That's reputation.
The writer OF this article could
make out check for $4,000, but it
probably wouldn't be worth eighty
cents. That's rough.
A man gets up in the morning
finds the bottle empty and drink
water, That's hell.-E1.
