For Revenue Only

We cannot truly love the man
whose. business is his idol; it
shapes his every, act and plan, it
is his spur and bride. He beams
upon the little chaps, and, while
he's looking sunny, he thinks,
They'll tell their dads, perhaps,
and / will get their money" He
gives some nickels. to the poor,
with freedom most surprising,
when he is absolutely sure twill
bring him advertising. He'll
stand up strong for any cause
which may have raised hutter,
if it will help him sell some saws,
some calico or butter. On Sun
day to the church he wends, and
thinks, while hymns are ringing,
Its good to make these people
friends-new trade they will be
bringing" When some one dies
he sheds tear, as one LETT sad
and lonely, but while he weeps
above the bier he thinks of in
come only. THE mourners have
all kinds of kale. their trade is
we'll worth gaining, and so I'll
whoop around and wall, my lungs
and larynx spraining" We find
this man in every cline, and with
gold bricks we rate him; he puts
it over for a time, but in the end
we hate him.

A movement now is on foot to bond
the Dranesville district Of Fairfax
county to macadamize the road from

The building of twelve or fifteen miles

self protection to see that conditions

chance. He pointed out that the con-
