The result of this excellent system was that when the people got tired of listening to the of a consul or a tribune, a censor Mrenator, they hustled him off to the front sete head of a few legions, to be carved a by their barbarian enemies. True, oc- casionally one of the generals would sur- sive and return in triumph to Rome; but when this did happen, the gentleman usu- ally had something new and interesting to talk about. Even so eloquent an orator as ‘Mark Antony was sent to Egypt to be be- gniled by Cleopatra and harassed by Octa- yizs. There was nothing else for him to do but commit suicide, and he did. Of course everybody knows what happened to Cicero and Czesar. Had we an orator with half the eloquence of Antony, we would never permit so valu- able an asset to expose himself to danger. No, indeed! We should guard him care- fally with the assistance of the Secret Serv- ice, until he had spoken at every public and private function in the United States, on every conceivable subject; and then, if his politics were right, we should find a place for him in the Cabinet—possibly in the presidential chair itself. Of course there were days when we, too, had our orators. But that was long ago, when, like Demosthenes, they began to train young. Madison was a legislator at twenty-five; John Quincy Adams was secre- tary of the Russian Legation at fourteen and minister to Holland before he was -thirty. W. H. Harrison was Governor of the Indian Territory at twenty-eight. Even as late as 1870 there were some eloquent orators to whom one, when perfectly sober, might be willing to listen without bribery orcoercion. But the newspapers and mag- azines invaded the territory that was once the exclusive stamping-ground of the boy orator and the embryonic statesman, and now, alas! the banquet board is all that is left to them. Rich Richard’s Philosophy Gre me a good digestion, and I don’t care who bakes the nation’s pies. A bird in the bush is worth two in a weak stomach, It is a sin to die rich; therefore I pray fervently for a long life. Even great wealth does not enable a man to sleep in two beds or eat two meals at the same time. The proof that all men are born equal is tobe found in the fact that a millionaire has no better facilities than a poor man for enjoying a bad play. The same thing holds good with regard to a good play. & If money is all-powerful, why can't a Tich old man become a Boy Scout? Eight-hour working laws are a blessing to the rich, enabling them, by working six- - teen hours, to keep their advantage. Leap before you look—when served with @ subpeena. —Thomas F. Logan. (REG. US. PAT. OFF) (Crystal White) por the fresh fruit flavor in Preserves, Jellies and Jams, experienced house- wives are using one part Karo (Crysta/ White) and three parts sugar. The syrup is heavier, richer, and not /00 sweet. The preserves have more of the natural flavor (not cloying sweetness) and the jams and jellies do not crystallize. . The Karo Preserving Book tells how to make these unexcelled preserves, jams, and jellies. Send for it. CORN PRODUCTS REFINING CO. New York P. O. Box 161 comicbooks.com
