Since first is last and last is first
In every thought Fam reversed;
If well combined with pen and ink
The sure result will make one think.
Athletes who enter in a race
Must always yield me second place;
BY thousand paths, through thick and
thin
reach the heights; the goal win.
In universal brotherhood
Both North and South pronounced me
good.
In theories lead the van
To benefit benighted man.
But I'm the very last in truth
TO part with wealth and health and
youth.
I'm with the monarch on the throne,
Yet linger by the warm hearthstone;
With everything that draweth breath
close abide from birth to death;
And though am the last Of earth
ever live with truth and worth.

of a putting little tugboat, you may set
down that remarkable spectacle to mean
that the '.Klondike and Cuba Ice Towing
and Anti-Yellow Fever Company" has got
into working order.
The Klondike and Cuba Ice Towing and
Anti-Yellow Fever Company is organi-
zation that is in earnest, despite the fan
tastic nature of its undertaking. II intends
to make a serious business of towing ice
bergs from the Klondike to such countries
In the southern seas are In need of re-

ter, ice cream, cracked ice for fever pa
tientS, etc.
The idea OF towing icebergs to market is
as unique in its commercial aspect as IL will
be startling i'm its optical effect upon those
who are unused to seeing mountains girded
with ropes and sailing docieiy along over
the water at the pleasure Of man and
towboat. Their value upon arrival at the.
antipodes is estimated on several peculiar
assumptions: I'D That they will cure yell
low fever: t2) that when they melt away
they will yield large quantities Of gold.
which will be carefully harvested. and CD
that they can be towed to their journeys
end without serious diminishment OF size
and value.
1t is all the scheme Of some ingenious
gentleman of Denver. Col. who has rosy
ideas of possible profits. He says:
Our profits will be established as soon
as We appear down there with a few ice
bergs to begin on. They will pay us at the
rate of 81 900 per patient, In cases OF speedy
cure. That will aggregate $4l9.000 per ico-
