Why Americans Think Quicker.

The American people can think
quicker and more to the point than
any other people in the world. This
statement was made recently i'll a
New York newspaper, but the rca-
son given was wide Of the mark.
The American people read i'll the
aggregate ten times more than any
other people. The American boy
gets his inspiration, his energetic dis
position, his ambition, his keen snap
shot judgment and mis- quick wit
largely from his rcading-and very
largely from his newspaper reading.
The poise and culture and refine
n1ent and solidity come later in life
from the reading Of books and mag
azines and from contact with men
and things. 1t is the American
newspaper which sets the initial
pace. Push and pluck are conta
gious. and more germs are Matched
in the average American newspaper
office than anywhere else.

To Get Even With the Meat Trust.

NOrking1nen Of New York are
seriously discussing proposition to
abstain entirely from eating all
kinds OF meat for one month. The
idea has been formulated into a res
Olution, for the consideration Of the
affiliated trades unions: Resolved,
That we recommend workingnen
and women in New York city to re-
frain from buying or eating beef or
mutton for one month from May
TO- The argument used is that such
action, should it become at all gen
eral, would bring the trust to terms
in short order. Many OF the men,
even who have to perform severe
manual labor, declare that they are
ready to take such pledge.

ago. Formerly a woman felt uncom-
Portable and was stared at if she ap-

man, who worships the memory OF

the finest and most complete collec-
ton of editions of Burns works in
the world. When, therefore, the
new member Went to Smith he re-
solved to say something which
would please the lover of Burns.
When he entered Smiths library
he looked with interest upon the
books. Il always did love Jimmie
Burns poems. remarked the new
member. Il never saw such fine
collection Of his works. | think
Jimmie Burns was one of the great
est men who ever lived At this
point Mr.. Smith could contain him
self no further. Jimmie Burns."
he exclaimed, angrily. Tommy
Washington! Sammy Bonaparte!
Get out. And the new member real.
lied that he had made a mistake.
