WHY AMERICANS WIN.

One OF the many reasons why American
manufacturers are so successful competing
in foreign markets is to be found in the
following episode, which occurred recently:
An American manufacturer of steam spe.
cia!tes WAS visiting an English firm which
made similar goods. A certain article which
both firms made was under discussion. :.
What is your price on this thing! asked
the American.
well, in your money, about $40, replied
the Eng !shman. What does it cost your"

YES"
"Now, in America we have ladders that
stand up by themselves-don't need a man
TO hold em. So, you see, in this instance
we divide your cost of labor exactly by
two"

II occurred in Judge Lawlor's court few
DAYS ago. There was a murder trial on and
a policeman named Riley was on the wit

test your ability to judge time. will hold
my watch here for two minutes. When you
think the time is up, say when.
The defendants counsel held the watch
on the witness and stood examining the hand
carefully. The policeman, however, did not
seem TO be worried at all at the tax upon
his mental apparatus. He sat staring va
canty about the room, and at the exact sec
ond when the two minutes had expired,
remarked: "Now!" and smiled like a tickled
sphinx.
Mr.. Ferral was staggered at the uncanny
accuracy of the witness, and Gen. solomon,
who was prosecuting, was delighted pro-
portionately at his opponents discontinue.

during the rest of the session. At the noon
recess he called Riley to him, and, slapping
him on the shoulder, said:

"Do it," replied Riley, pointing to a big

that was dead easy!
