you have no idea what drawback
a title is in business in this country,

Americans worshiping titles. 1t is
certainly not the case in the business
world For altogether justifiable rea

toned to describe the European noble

spineless, dissipated, and generally no

WOOD RAT TYPiFiEs MAN.
In His Eagerness to Increase Size OF
His "PiIe."

Too many Americans have the
wood rat instinct says the Mon.
treal Star. The wood rat, the animal
Is a native of southern Oregon, but
the wood rat typified in man is not
restricted to any small section of a
state or nation, but is wellnigh uni
yersal.
The wood rat Is small, no larger
than a common rat. but his ambition
and acquisitiveness are Unsuitable.
His one insane desire seems to be to
Increase the size of his pile of sticks.
The neighbor;ng field Is placed under
tribute First al the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then. as
these are cleaned up, he goes further
and further away from home, and
every twig is eagerly seized upon to
increase the size OF his pile of sticks.
The wood rat regards his pile of
sticks as refuge in time Of trouble
On the first sound of alarm he rushes
to the pile and crawls underneath. 1t
Is here that he often finds his de-
struction, for a summer fire some
times sweeps through the woods, and
the wood rats pile OF sticks make a
veritable furnace. The larger the pile
the hotter the fire, and thus he has
piled up the means Of his own agony.
