Long ago, when Sydney Smith contemp-
tuously asked, "who reads an American
book?" Englishmen used to laugh at YAM
kee smartness and ingenuity as factors not
worth considering. Now, when American
manufacturers are capturing their markets
i'm all parts of the world, they talk very
differently. Perhaps, after a generation or
two of young Britons have been educated
in American schools and shops, England
may recover her commercial supremacy,
but ii will take long time.

Senator Gwin is full Of interesting remi-
niscences of the days in Indiana's history
