A motor car I saw to-day was ala.

A motor car saw today was eie- gant in every way-resplendent rich and gleaming. A working man was standing by admiring it with longing eye--and thought he was dreaming.
 It seemed to me, as there he stood. appraising it from wheels to hood-to him, it represented enough of wealth tperhaps well earned) to buy the home-for which he'd yearned through all the years he'd rented.
 This gleaming thing of plush and steel, with pomp and splendor at the wheel and used alone for plea sure-would buy for him. his child and wife-the thing for which he'd pledged life: A Home-life's rich est treasure.
 It may be true that life is fair That all acquire their honest share that failures only blunder. But all about it seems We see just how un- fair this world can be-and who's 10 blaine. I wonder?

FoLKS:-Business is good. The farmers sells a load of wheat, and all the world grows fair and sweet; he huns couple of cheerful tunes, and pays the grocer for his prunes. The grocer who had the blues, now buys his wife a pair of shoes. That ten the shoeman thinks God sent, and runs and pays it on the rent. Next day the rent man hands the bill to Dr. Carver for a pill. And Dr. Carver tells his frau that busi- ness is improving now. And cheers her up and says. My dear, you've been quite feeble for a year. I'm thinking you should have a rest you'd better take a trip out west" And in couple of days the frau is ol the farm of Joshua Howe. Sh, pays her board to Farmer Howe, who takes the bill and says, "I SNOW. Here's something that just cant be beat-this bills the one l got for wheat" He huns a couple of cheerful tunes and goes and buys a lot more prunes.
