On Government.
Brownsville, Texas

Plato, having laid brick in the
path, stood aside to see what might
befall. The first man who stumbled
over it said nothing, but went his
way. There, " said the Philoso-
pher is & conservative citizen,
the backbone of our institutions
The next one fell on his face and
rallied upon the tetrarch, but he
also left the brick and went on his
way. That IS a good govern
ment, said Plato, He will one
day found a Goo-Goo clubl'
The third also broke his shins,
and having called upon Plato re-
moved the brick from the path.
That man, said Plato, is a
reformer; he believes in doing We
next things" Then Plato replaced
the brick in the path.
But a certain man came along,
and when he had stubbed his toe
he took up the brick and hurled it
at the philosopher. That, . said
Plato, as he lodged the brick, is
an anarchist; he is dangerous to
the government.
Gut he was not; he was only a
nihilist. )-Bolton Hall in Life.

A suggestion was made recently
by DR.. J. H. Florence to the men,

has been adopted by business men
in many places and II seems to be
a very good idea. A few pointed
