"Ask Our Present Customers, Then See For Yourself'

- Pcine on Commeice

'The idea of having navies for the protection of commerce -is delusive. It is putting the means of destruction for the means of protection. Commerce needs no other protection than the reciprocal interest which every nation feels in supportirig it-it is common stock-it exists by a balance of advantages to all. And the only interruption it meets is the.present uncivilized state of governments, and which it is its common interest t'o reforrn

There can be no such thing as a nation flourishing alone in commerce; she can only participate; and the destruction of it in any part must necessarily affect all. When, therefore, governments are at war, the attack is made upon the common stock of coinmerce, and the consequence is the same as if each had attacked his own.

The prosperity of any commercial nation is regulated by the prosperity of the rest. If they.are poor, she cannot be rich; and her condition, be it what it may, is an index,of the height of the commercial tide in other nations.

The boy in college had written his father for money, and the father failed to respond. So the son wrote as follows: "I wrote and asked you to kindly send me some cash. You failed to do so. What sort of kindness is that?" And the father replied: "That is unremitting kindness." {< * >1.

The Difference (When Ma is sick.)

When Ma is sick she pegs away, She's quiet, though, not much to say; She goes right on a-doin' things, And often laughs, and even sings. Just says she don't feel extra well, But then it's only just a spell.

(When Pa is sick.)

When Pa is sick he's scared to death, An' Ma an' us just holds our breath; He crawls in bed an'puffs an' grunts, An' does all kinds o' crazy stunts. He wants the doctor mighty quick, For when Pa's*ill,*he s awful sick.

Why the Goller Wcrs Lqte

The fourth man in the golfing gang was a little late on Sunday morning, and the other three chafid and fussed until he came puffing up. He _explained the situation this way: "I didn't know whether to go to church or play golf with you boys, so I decided to toss a coin to decide. I said heads I'd go to church, and tails I'd play golf. That's why I'm late. You know I had to fip that doggone nickle seventeen times before it came fp tails."

Precrcher Plcyed Scrle

The knot was tied; the pair were wed, And then the smiling bridegroom said Unto the preacher, "Shall I pay To yori the usual fee today? Or would you rather wait a year, And then give you a hundred, clear, If I should find the married state

As happy as I estimate?"

The preacher lost no time in thought, To his reply no study brought, There were no wrinkles in his brow: He said: ."I'll take those three bucks NOW." **>t<

Non Stop

Bad Books

Wherever one goes one immediately comes upon this incorrigible mob of humanity. It exists everywhere in ' legions; crowding and spoiling everything, like fies in summer. Hence tlre numberless bad books, those rank weeds of literature which extract nourishment from the corn, and choke it. They monopolize the time, money, and attention which really belongs to good books and their noble aims; they are merely written with a view to making money or procuring places. They are not only useless but they do positive harm. Nine-tenths of our present literature aims solely at taking a few shillings out of the public's' pocket, and to accomplish this, author, publisher, and reyiewer have joined forces.-Schopenhauer

Should and Shouldn't

Ode to Fcshion
