w The world is full of waste in
many forms. Waste money Is one of
our most serious troubles. After a man
has spent all the money he can sensibly
and still has more, he often pOurs it
down his throat to get rid of it, with
terrible results.
Food is so plentiful in the United
States that we are very wasteful in its
use. After an American family has fin
ished a dinner, a French family can live
high of the remains. The garbage bar
rel is the best fed institution in the
country.
Time is scandalously wasted. Many a
man wastes so much time in business
that he hasn't any left in which to make
himself worth talking to or to insure his
being buried with regret.
Government Is full of waste. Our
cities usually elect two or three alder
men with brains and a lot more for
which it cannot find the slightest use.
However, no city is wasted by its alder
men. They get everything they can out
of it.
Religion is extremely wasteful Many
a small town supports five ministers
families on hope and potatoes and keeps
ND five churches with five bells, whereas
one bell would make enough disturb
anee to call the people to one church,
which could be presided over by one

in a chair suspended on poles. The
natives started out with great cheer.
but as the journey progressed and the
sun beat down upon them they began
to chant prayer to Allah. 1t was
melodious, though bit mournful. Its
constant repetition was soothing. and
the lady dozed. On awakening. the
prayer, grown more mournful. almost
despairing, was still being intoned.
Turning to her interpreter she asked
the meaning of the mysterious words.
