IN THE 15TH CENTURY.

Spain lamented spending less than SB,OOO backing Columbus’ fool notion to discover America. And we remember when father was treating the family royally by spending SIOO for a new “undercut” carriage. Going to cost Mexico a d sight .more than Spain if. they finance Carranza’s fool ideas. But, of course, everything is higher now. Dad can’t begin to satisfy the family on less than an Oldsmobile or a Franklin. A “day off” means nothing but an “off day” to most of us. THOMPSON & KIRK.
