as sound as the law of gravitation.
That will abolish poverty, misery
and crime, which would be one Of the
marvel achievements of the goth cen

a criminal who holds the resources
of nature in the bowels of the earth
than the vulgar keeper of a gambling
den or the owner of a cold storage
warehouse who stores food for spec
ulative purposes? Is there any diff
ference between gambling and spec
uIating? The former is criminal and
the latter is regalized. The U. S. is
the pantry of the world with mex
haustible resources of nature. Man
is a land animal and can no more
live without land than a fish can
without water. 70 per cent of the
virgin soil of the U. S. is held for
speculative purposes. Is there any
wonder that there is misery, poverty
and crime in the United States?-

there was nothing for us but 10 defend
ourselves. Our Emperor bore Napo-
Icons name. We trusted him. We had
not discovered then how incapable he
was; and he. in turn, trusted the men
around him, vino assured him that the
army was perfectly equipped and sup
piled, and that the war would he only
matter of few swift days. We all be-
leved them and him. 1T will be just
little outing young men said to each
other. and the whole nation shared
something OF their youthful enthusiasm;
all except those few old people whose
memories ran back to the days when
Napoleon had laid levy after levy upon
France They shook their heads and
muttered to themselves
but the young men gathered 10 the
colors and for few days before the
army marched away Paris was as gay

Others have written about the siege
of Paris who know much more than |,
At first we did not know there was IN
he siege: We could not believe II.
The reports that our Government is
sued were all gladdcping, our army
had met the enemy and conquered IL,
killing many. our cavalry had cut off
a company of the enemxs troops and
captured many cannon, Our army was
marching toward Berlin, These reports
came in quick succession, ana for
time We believed them, But then came
other reports, not published, but whiS-
pered from mouth 10 mouth. II was not
true that we lrad conquered, our army
had been driven back, Many were
killed, many wer6 wounded. many We're
captured And at last came the news
that Paris itself was to be bcSieged
Even then we could not believe the
danger serious. ! remember my father
coming home with four fine hams and
cutting great slices for each OF us
My mother spoke: "Would 1t not he
better to save the ham? There is talk
OF a siege"
He laughed loudly. ooh, a siege" he
said. What OF It? II cannot last long"
, But before many days he talked very
, differently. The Prussians closed in
upon the city. The streets were filled
with people hesing. their possessions

through field glasses, the enemy throw
