A Monster Among Lions

(Marmaduke, in London TRUTH
The new Bank of England is
America! If we propose to build
a railway, we have to go to the
United States for the necessary
capital. If we wish to develope
some in dus trial concern,
we apply to an American fnancier
for assistance. If we have to
sell a large property, a valuable
picture a rare work of art, or a
celebrated horse, we offer it to an
American millionaire. If any
we'll known bachelor among us
in pecuniary difficulties, it is to
the United States that he hurries
to find a bride with a fortune
If a more obscure Englishman is
unable to earn a living in this
country, it is to the United
States that he generally crosses
to obtain employment!
1t is probable that, at the very
least America will have twice as
much wealth and power in twenty
years hence as she has acquired
in the past twenty years. II so
what country will then be her
equal?
1.-THE Future of the United
States" would be a useful sub
ject for some essay writer to deal
with, for an America that is
twice as rich, as powerful, and
as populous; that has double the
the fleet of men-of-war and mer-
chantment; and that does double
the trade with the outside world
that the America of today has
and does, will be a monster among
nations.

The ASS and the Fiddler.

An ass once grazed in rich field,
The grrss was tender and juicy;
He was fat and sleek and "well heeled'
And cavorted like one booty.
In early morn he brayed aloud,
And walked the natives far around
No more couldsleep their senses shroud,
When reused by that discordant
sound.
An old fiddler, passing that way,
Sat down in the cool shade to rest;
Weired music he began to play
With mastery skill and zest,
Der the taut strings he drew his bow,
Till they laughed and sang, sighed
and wept.
AS though his heart, now all aglow,
Changeful, thrilling emotions swept.
The ass heard those enhancing strains,
AS they flowed from an artists soul
Plaintive as the night winds refrains,
Grand as the deep-toned thunder's
roll.
He brayed and brayed- did nothing but
And flop his ears and wink his eye,
And switch his tail as if to say,
''Bully for me! How's that for high?''
Poor fool to think all sound is sense,
Racket and noise must music be,
And all with attention intense
w ,uld long to hear his harsh "Haw
Hee."
Of him the world could ne'er be proud
He was too big a dolt to see;
Like him are all his silly crowd,
And many human kin has he.

II Commandments For Mail Order
Houses

Someone who has evidently
had considerable experience with
the mail order houses and their
methods of doing business,
wrote out their rules of business
as they appear to be used in con-
Quoting their affairs. Here they
are:
l. You shall sell your farm
products for cash wherever you
can, but not to us; we do not buy
from you,
2 You shall believe our state
ments and buy all you need from
us, because we want to be good
to you, although we are not ac-
quainted with you.
3. You shall send the money
in advance to give US chance
to get the goods from the fac
tory with your money; meanwhile
you will have to wait patiently
few weeks, because that is
our business method.
4. You shall apply to your
nearest city to aid you in
building good roads so you can
conveniently get the goods from
us, for we do not build country
roads.
s. You shall buy your church
bells and interior church fixtures
from US and forward the money
in advance, for that is our bus
mess method.
6. You collect from the bust
ness men in your vicinity as
much money as you can for the
churches. Although we get
more money from you than they
do, still it is against our rules to
donate money for building coun-
try churches.
7. You shall buy your tools
from US and be the mechanic
from your vicinity, for we wish
it 80.
8. You shall induce your
neighbor to buy everything from
us, as we have use for more
money.
9. You shall often look at the
beautiful pictures in our catalogue
so your wishes will increase and
you will send in a big order, al
tho you are not in immediate need
of the goods; otherwise you
might have some left to buy ne
cessary goods of your local mer-
chants.
10. You shall have the me-
chanics that repair the goods
you buy from US, book the bill,
SO you can send the money for
his labor to us for new goods,
otherwise he will not notice our
influence.
r. II, You shall believe in US
in preference to your local mer-
chants.
+ r.. You shall, in case Of ac-
cident, sickness or need, apply
to your local dealers for aid and
credit, as we do not know you.
