it, he had to sell his slaves and his
camels and waste all his treasure.
"At last it was finished, and he,
decrepit old man, said, Now I will
dwell therein, and all men shall do
me honor But Allah caused the siroc-
co to blow, and in the twinkling of an
eye the man and his palace were bur-
led forever beneath the sands of the
desert.
THAT is your civilization" proceed
ed the sheikh, after a pause. You toll
and strive and worry and struggle and
lose all the joy and beauty of life
dwelling in smoky cities-for what?
That you may become wealthy or ia
nous. Usually you fail. If you succeed,
you find your success worth nothing.
You are too old to enjoy; you have
wasted all your power of enjoyment.
Your civilization is a marvel of in
genuity, 1 admit, but 1t is also mon
ument of wasted effort. You do not
make a machine, because it will be a
wonderful piece of mechanism; you
make it to do something. 1t is made to
fulfil a purpose, and it's mechanical in
genuity is merely incidental.
But your greatest machine-civili-
zation-is different. It's processes are
wonderful. no doubt, but it serves no
uSeIul purpose. II Is a Colossal waste
of effort and cleverness-as if l were
to build steamship in the middle of
the Sahara.
"The only justification of civilization
would be that it made mankind hap
pier. 1t does not. So far as can judge,
the Bedouin is far happier man than
the Londoner. What can man know
of happiness when he lives in a tiny
garnet, tolls all day in a stuffy Office
or a filthy workshop. and is afraid to
strike a bullying foreman lest he
should lose his job?
Civilization has made you all slaves
to one another, and therefore civiliza-
ton is a failure. If You are not slaves
to an employer, you are chained to a
telephone or telegraph wire or a
stock exchange ticker.
Yesterday 1 was asked to speak at
a meeting of the Anti-S Slavery Society,
called to protest against slavery in
Africa. l could not help laughing.
Slavery in Africa! The meanest slave
there is freer than your business man
in London. If you want to see slavery,
don't go to barbarian lands. Look
around you in your own cities. All the
institutions of civilization are nothing
but chains and letters.

of Fargo are much interested amp
gratifsd at its recent nineteenth semi
annual statement disclosing the fol-
lowing items: The assets increased
4s1, 600 during the past year notwith-

lar one.
