THE LAWN MOWER

We have finally estab ished intimate
relations with the lawn mower. 1t does
not belong to US, but it is in the family
and we feel sense of proprietorship.
The lawn mower is a great institution.
1t feeds mans vanity as no other sin
gle weapon of CIVILIZATION can do. In the
first place lawn mower is just as effect
i've in the hands ofathe puny as the strong.
With lawn-mower in front of you you
are the equal of any man SO far as the
business of the day is concerned. In the
second place the possession of lawn
mower presupposes the possession of a
lawn. Not the possession of the ordinary
rsDter who to-day is and tomorrow is
moved, but of the man of permanency
enough to have lawn and take a pride
in it.
Thirdly, as those of the cloth would
say, the pushing of lawn-mower suggests
in subtle fashion that your ordinary work
is of high order. That your poor, tired
o ,er worked brain needs relaxation, that
after spending ounces of.grey matter during
the turmoil of busy day you need the
physical exercise and mental rest that
awa.rowing is peculiarly adpated for.
Again man, no matter how wealthy
may propel lawn mower without risk of
his reputation for generosity Ii he shovel
snow there is always some one to remind

The Chicago prophet. Elijah Dowie,
says he can write his check for $500 900. 90.
Those poor dupes who enable him to do
this are probably wondering where they

success The morning was very bright
