A Solid Growth

!. America has changed a lot since
Chris Columbus sought her shores,
ahd sailed the trackless seas and
toi1ght with mutineers and other
bores. Columbus found an enptv
land, a long wide stretch of sand
aud loam; there wasn't cen a pea
lat stand to give the sailor Wei
cdrnc Home. Some savages were on
ifeI beach whose looks brought
.frpFns to Chris brow; in all their
there was no peach like those
whb haunt the seashore now. There
were no up-to-date hotels, as far as
harnan eye could gaze, no realtors
weFe wearing bells or selling lots
to- Ieasy jays. No oil promoters
tffronged the strand to touch him
fdr! his good long green. and sell
hri options on the land that fairly
reeked with kerosine. II Christie
pHer could come again and see the
cqHntry as it is, and mark its store
OF iron men, he'd doubtless yell and
sa5 Gee, whiz!" He well might
spring Spanish oath or cuss a
while IN Portuguese, if he beheld
our solid growth since he first found
.us IN the seas. No other country is
}sq great, and nothing can our
growth retard; we're first in oil and
real estate, in liberty and law and
lard.
