If the money spent in buying stamps for
4 chain prayer letters, was spent for sweet charl-
ty we would have less need for poor houses.
However the suppression of the chain prayer
fools might result in overcrowding the crazy
4 houses.
Mayor Knapp has grded up his lolns and
put the Migrants on notice that lettering will not
be permitted. Everybody must get busy or
4 get out. If he sticks to that he will merit the
lasting gratitude of every useful citizen of the
Colony.
Stuyvesant Fish says that faith is the basis
of all finance. Fish is correct: faith is the basis
of all values, without faith, gold would be worth
no more than lead and Fitzgerald real estate
would be selling like Nevada mining stock
cents per. Great is faith
The curfew may not be necessary to bring
HI boys and girls of sensible parents, but If you

Everybody hates a successful man, de-
k1ares Mr.. Hartman; so the only way to be pop
liar is to be pronounced failure.-Ex.
Everybody does not hate a successful man;
anccessful men, as success is generally under
