Humor and Philosophy

APPROACHING THE LIMIT. EACH year the trusts grow bigger. Each year another crop Is added to their nurAber. Who knows where It will stop? For every branch of business Beneath the shining sun That how has competition Will soon be rolled In ona i . A captain of finances Sees thirteen peanut stands, i Each on a different corner—k Soon all are In his hands. The peanut buying public May writhe and squirm and twist. But It must patronize him Or peanutless exist. We’re used to trusts in matches. In sugar, steel and soap, In railroads and In rubber, In brushes, boots and rope. But soon with nothing checking The tendency to fuse . Wo'll meet with combinations In everything we use. i The man who beats our carpets. The man who hoes our corn. Will soon bo but the agent Of some new trust Just born. The laws may ralt against them And try to tame their pride, But law nor tears won’t stop them Till all Is trustified. Restricted. “Three acres and liberty!” that Is the cry. Get back to the land and your table supply. But, say, when you venture away from the town To tie to the land you will find you’re tied down. ♦ You have to be there, for the cow cannot wait. , The weeds will grow rank If you lie abed late. In bright, sunny weather the hay must be cut. It may be a species of liberty, but—

The Meat Daairable. “She has a new diamond ring.” “Where's the man who gave It to her?" “She never speaks of him.” “Why not?" “She considers the ring much more presentable.”
