family to England for an indefinite
period. during which he was to es-
tablish British branches Of his mer-

wrought much havoc in the rank

of paper instead of hickory. The

written his speech. The wheels, the
napkin and stationery were all Of pa

But since the time Of Blaine the use
Of paper has been carried far beyond
the limits that excited his admiration.
Who could then have foreseen that
the policeman's club would be made
of it?
1t is as hard to set limits to the pos
isbilities Of paper as to those Of rub
