uy per 1d, id, m= American pie has shown forth resplen- dent in the full glare of a noonday sun or beneath the pale green of the electric light, and she stands forth proudly to- day with her undying loyalty to dyspep- sia untrammeled and her deep and dead- ly gastric antipathy still fiercely burning in her breast. That is the proud histo pie. Powers, principa and hand-made dyna but the republican form of pic docs not crumble. Tyranny may totter on its throne, but the American pie does not tot- ter. Not a tot. No foreign threat has even been able to make our common of American ties, kingdoms may crumble, chicken pie qu I do not say this be- cause it is smart; I simply say it to fill up. But would it not do Columbus good to come among us to-day and look over cur free institutions? Would it not please him to ride over this continent which has been rescued by his presence of mind from the thraldom of barbarism and forked over to the genial and re- fining influences of prohibition and pie? America fills no mean niche in the great history of nations, and if you listen carefully for a few moments you will hear some American, with his mouth full of pic, make that remark. The rican is always frank and perfectly free to state that no other country can approach this one.

By means of the press the knowledge and thoughts of writers are spread throughout the land, maintaining among all the people the common language and the mutual understanding which makes for national co-operation. By means of the Bell system, each individual telephone becomes connectable AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY with every other telephone and each unit in the nation is given a personal membership in the most highly developed system of communication that the world has ever seen. The pressprepares people for co-opera- tion; the Bell telephone system enables them to really co-operate. The press educates people separately; the telephone enables them to act upon their mutual knowledge immediately and at any distance. By co-operation with telegraph and cable systems, universal service for com- munication is being made international.

The careless student of the career of Columbus will find much in these lines that he has not yet seen. He will real- ize when he comes to read this little sketch the pains and the trouble and the research necessary before such an ar- ticle on the life and work of Columbus 1145 could be written, and he will thank me for it; but it is not for that that I have done it. It is a pleasure for me to hunt up and arrange historical and biographi- cal data in a pleasing form for the stu- dent and savant. I am only too glad to please and gratify the student and the savant. I was that way myself once and I know how to sympathize with them P. S.—I neglected to state that Co- us was a married man, Still, he rmur or repine.—Bill Nye. Mu did not m comicbooks.com
