Occasionally, of course, the sensible human
being, thinking for himself not following merely
the camel in front, gets a new idea, steps out OF
the procession and starts going in a different
direction.
That happened for instance, when somebody
invented the sewing machine. For hundred
thousand wears men and women had used the
needle with point at one end and the needles
"eye' at the other. That meant pulling the needle
all the way through the cloth, sewing slowly py
hand.
Then some man thought, IT will put the
needles eye in the needles POINT, then ma
chine can do the sewing without pulling the needle
all the way through"
That's about all there was to the sewing
machine. But it was worth millions OF dollars and
freed millions of needle slaves.
Through the ages, men of all kinds from the
cave man with his big jaw to the superstitlous
individual of the seventeenth century, shuddered
and crnged at the sight of lightning. They saw
nothing in the lightning but terrible danger, and
proof of an angry Gods i'll temper
Then it occurred to Benjamin Franklin that
men might do something with that lightning,
bring it down on a string anyhow, by kite sent
up into the clouds where the lightning lives
Other experimenters followed. And now be,
cause few men got out of the camel caravan,
the lightning that used to brighten us WORKS

clothes, runs electric fans, sweeps the house and
does thousand other chores.
There is moral in this picture, and it is:
SEE CLEARLY WHAT is IN FRONT OF
YOU
Look to the right and the left Make sure
that you are not following blind camel with his
head hitched to the tail of donkey, "hee having
ahead of you.
Get out Of the procession far enough to see
what KIND of procession it is, and especially to
SEE WHO Is DRIVING YOU ON FROM THE
REAR.
Most of us are driven by hard necessity. But
even that we need not submit to forever.
The poor camels in this procession you can't
blame. One Of them has no eyes and he can't tell
that donkey is leading him. The Others content
to see camel just ahead of them, think, "It must
be all right or he wouldn't go on" They follow
Young men and women that see this are not
camels they ought not march like camels, one be-
hind the other, instead Of thinking, each for him
self, and picking out the best road.

YOUR LEADER.

1VOh ACikAOGR'
This picture, which shows how the camels are
managed, how the donkey leads blind came! the
camels with good eyesight following their bind
brother and the camel driver prodding them on,
is picture of the Follow your leader" game that
is played in American politics and in American
life.
Read a few extracts from one Of the "Par.
ables of Safed the Sage"
"we sojourned in Egypt, and Keturah, and We
rode on Donkeys and also rode on Cames Now
Of all beasts that made the Camel the most
Ungainly and Preposterous, and also the most pic
turesque And he taketh himself Very Seriously.
'tAnd we beheld string of Five Camels that be-
longed in Caravan, and they tethered every
one to the Camel in front Of him. But the foremost
Of the Camels had Halter that tied to the saddle
"And spake unto the man Of Arabia who had
the Camels, and inquired Of him how he managed It,
"And he said, Each Camel followeth the one in
front and asketh questions. And come after and
prod up the last Camel:
that there other Camel in front Of him. but only
an ASST
"And he answered, Nay, for the first Camel is
blind and knoweth only that there is pull at his halter
And every other Camel followeth he is led, and
prod up the hindermost one
"And inquired, How about the Donkeyi
"And he said, The Donkey is too stupid to do any
thing but keep straight and he hath been often over
"And said unto Keturah, Behold picture of
Human Life. For this fashion have the Process
sons Of the Ages largely been formed. For there be
few who ask otherwise than how the next in front
is going, and they blndly follow, each in the track Of
those that have gone before
"And Keturah said But how about the leaderi
"And 1 said, That is the profoundest secret Of
history for often he who seemed to be the leader was
really behind the whole procession, and at the head
was nothing sensible than Donkey.
"And she said, 1t must be fun for the Donkey.
"And said, He is so happy to carry no load, but
to hold up end of the halter Of the first Camel
that he doth laugh great Hawhaw at the folly of the
whole world except himself.
"For so long as the world is content with the kind
Of leadership that doth guide the fashion in Clothes
and Politicks and much beside the Donkeys will not
lack for occupation"

nearly every deck, wharf, warehouse
