Burnt Child Fears Fire.

This popular saying Is a very old
one, and in its travels to its place
IN modern parlance 1t has undergone
a series of interesting transitions in
form, always, however, with the same
ignificance-that the person who has
known suffering does not need TO be
told to take care.
II is from the Italians that we have
adopted the saying, their form for i
being 'The sCalded dog fears cold
water" which implies, of course, that
once a victim, one fears even where
there is no cause for concern. And
the people who originated the saying z
in Italy We're the Venetian Jews. who
had it from their ancient rabbknica
lore. There, hunted to its lair, IL is
found in this form:
He who has been bitten by a
snake fears even piece of rope

made! Blacky paid no attention to
them. He began TO pick up corn just
as fast as he could. But ALL the time
he kept one eye out toward Farmer

THE printers of the country have
complained for good many years
because the government, which is
supposed to be theirs as well as
others peoples, sells printed envel-
opes through postmasters at prices
which will not pay for the plain
stock used in doing envelope jobs in
their shops. No attention is paid to
these complaints by congress, which
holds that though the printers may
suffer by reason Of the government
operating as competitor, great
numbers of citizens profit by cheaper
envelopes. The business public seems
to approve this idea. Yet it is fact
that the principle of the government
envelope is no different in any re-
spect from that Of government mail
order house, thru which the people
might obtain everything they use at
prices made possible because the gov.
sernment can buy in vast quantities,
is tax-exempt, and is at no expense
for soliciting, delivering or collecting,
A government mail order house
would quickly put every wholesaler
and retailer in the country out Of
business; yet we seldom hear of one

in their own communities and which
