ing for the public wen.ue. Why some men are so short-sighted „ s to kick against a beteMal pnbhc ■ improvement because it might crease their taxes a few cents. ( Why some people kick agams i pvervttiinH. I Why some people always measure | the intelligence of a person by the size i of the town in which he lives. | Why certain men can only see hjp-
