From the Chicago Record Herald
A great deal has been said and written
about human nature. but the subject has
not been exhausted Human nature IS
the thing that makes q man who is walk

at the street crossing. Later, when the
same man becomes himself the owner OF
an automobile human nature makes him
long TO run down the foolish pedestrians
VINO impede his progress by insisting on
getting in the way at the crossings
Human nature makes a man who has
waited for trolley car to jump Up and
down and grit his teeth and emit horrible
sounds when the car comes at last. and,
being behind time. whizzes past him. so
that some OF the lost time can be made
UP. When the next car comes along and
the man succeeds in getting aboard. hu-
man nature induces him 20 hope that i

THE MAMMOTH INCUBATOR

The action OF several prominent Amer

that eggs for Matching can be shipped
