believes that this would raise the
prices of cotton and of cotton cloth TO
Northern consumers, but it would save
the South from bankruptcy, so that It
could buy the manufactured prcdricts

News voices the opinion: Agriculture
prospers in countries for

systematic and most efficient. One may

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHIrANDER JOHNSON.

It's Sad Story!
John Smith is man with . wonderful
gift
OF speaking, the popular mind to uphft.
But he envied the practical brain that
acquires
The gold that the average person
admires.
Bill Jones has an honest, industrious
way
That helps him to add to his wealth,
day by day.
Yet Bill wasn't happy. He wanted to
shine
AS one Of the stars In the statesman
ship line.
Poor John as q teacher neglected his
chance,
And got rather crudely involved in
finance.
Relations and friends were in utter
despair
When Bill bought spotlight and posed
In its glare.
How many good men have confused
life's affairs
BY coveting glory not meant to be
theirs;
When each our respect on his merits
might claiml
John doesn't need wealth and Bill
doesn't need fame.
