Longfellow could take a worthless
piece of paper and write poem on
it and make it worth SOS ,000-that S
genius. There are some, men who
could write few words on a piece
of paper and make it worth S8,000,-
000-that's capital. The United
States can take an ounce and a quar-
ter of gold and make it worth $40
that's money. A mechanic can take
material worth SIS and make it into
watch springs worth 81, 000-that' S
. skill There is man in Chicago
who can take fifty cent piece Of
canvas, paint picture on it, and
make it worth 81 ,000-that's art
A Greek can take an article worth
IS cents and sell it for S1-that's
business. A woman could purchase
a hat for rs cents but prefers one
worth $27-that's foolishness. A
ditch digger hardels several tons of
earth for a 81 so day-that's la
Dor. The author of this could write

not be worth dime-that's rough.
