The whole trouble in cases of that
kind, it appears. is that the merchants
who are responsible for them are mar
row and suspicious. The little train
ing they got early in life impressed
them with a wrong sense of things in
general, including business. The re-
suit is that they are prepared to fol-

about being wary of Greeks bearing

SUSPICION NAMED A
DEBIT IN BUSINESS
New York Times.

If there is any one thing which
tends to keep industry or trade from
developing along broad and sound
lines, 1t is the unwillingness of many
of its members to identify themselves
with various movements that would
produce such a development.
Thinking men in all trades, who
can see beyond the limits CT their
own business and who are willing to
spread the gospel of modernism in the
hope Of benefitting from the general
good that will result, say that there
are two general classes of merchants
or manufacturers who display this
unwillingness.
The first of these classes is made
up of the so-called "old-line" concerns,
houses which owe the great bulk of
their success to their early founding
rather than to their willingness to sub
scribe to modern business methods,
either in theory or practice.
The attitude of concerns OF this
type, it Is asserted, is generally harder
to combat than that Of the second
general class, which is made up chief
ly of men whose financial and mental
capital is limited, and whose opposi
ton to many helpful trade suggestions
is based wholly on suspicion.
Concerns of the first class are the
more difficult to- handle because theil
opposition is not usually open. They
| join trade associations, they pay theil
| dues promptly, and they send repre-
sentatives to the association conven
tions. But there their interest stops

ests of the entire industry at heart.
Education is Lacking.
With the second class, it is admit

sNVSSse VA VIII ~
One day when riding long a coun.
try road,
Enjoying scenery as I went along
My eye befell upon a rural 'bode.
That stood a pretty grove Of trees
among.
For want of water did surely
thirst,
And thought then that a cold drink
I might find,
That me might satisfy or at the
worst
Help stop my burning thirst. They
would not mind,
l thought, if l asked for single
draught
From out that cool, deep well. AL
ready could
| see the watre gurgling with a
' laugh,
And sparkling, just as real cold
water should.
So l left my wheel a lying in the
grass,
Beside the gate, and walked
straight up the pass.
The path was bordered by rich
verdure green,
And led around the house back to
the pump.
| hurried onward very fast l ween,
Till sudden foot falls hind me
made me jump.
l quickly turned and faced an an
cry cur,
With dripping jaws and fiery
bloodshot eyes,
And shaggy coat of tangled dirty
fur.
He seemed a demon from that
place which lies
Beneath us. Neither stumbled
nor tript,
But cleared the fence on running
bound, and sailed
Straight down the road so fast the
wind l ript;
For at sight of british beast my
heart had Quailed. -
Resolved l then when next I forth
would ride, l-,-- 3
A Thermos bottle I'd carry by my
side. .,-.
