is trtw we owst condotfe" that the
packer of prehistoric days could
have given Alger and bisaceompli
eeu cards and spades and then
beaten them "all hollow" in the
eiubtdtuing business.
It now eeotus . certain - that the
board of inquiry into the canned-
roaot-etubalmed becf scandal can
not do otherwise than sustain the
charges made by General Miles,
that the beef was unfit to feed to
l liers. It d m not follow, howev
er, that the stuff is not plenty good
e vj.iju to rw1 Alger anil his syc
ophants and1 the people would feel
that the punishment was , not too
severe if old Alger and all his un
derlings, who were wilfully respon
sibly for the outrage, were sentenc

Breathes there a man with soul bo dead
That to himself he hath nut said.
My trade pi late is getting hud,
I'll try another 10-inch ad." . ,
If such there be, go mark him Well(f
h'or hint no bank account shall swell
No angel watch the golden etair '
To welcome home a millionaire. '
To such a man the noisy din
Of traffic may not enter in,
For bargain honters by the score
Shall pass nor heed his dingy door;
For tho' his sign is on the wall
And on some barnyard gate a scrawl,
Ko people who have cash and sense;'
Go prancing around to read the fence.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad displayed
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him nain ;
Tread lightly, friends, let no rode sonnd
disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him live in calm repose 1
Unsought except by men he owee.
And when he dies, eo rdant him rln
That naught may break his dreamlees
Sleep, -
Where no rode clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
And that the world may know iu loss
l'lace on his grave a wreath of moss
And ou the stone above, "Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise."
