There are some’people n ;tr town, Who think they know it all : And they seldom trade at Ashton. As the town is far too small. Still they sometimes hny on eredit From our merehants as a matter of pity ; And when they have some easti tottpend, its hiked to some big city. lint human nature is nuieh the same. No matter w here you go ; And some will give it as an excuse That Ashton is too slow t And In Ashton's surrounding sister tow ns. Or cousin towns to say the I he loast, They say nothiug there will suit them, So tlieir money goes farther east. To Chicago, that lifg city linn by capitalists from fork ; They don’tseem to get Just w hat they want So they sent east to New York. And in New York too you tiud such people, For in nature its sure to be ; Who can’t lind things to suit them there. So they send across the sea So it. goes in London and Fans, Where other skeptic people dwell. I really don't know where their trade goes, Perhaps it' goes to—Madrid, Spain. Few Motor Cars in Portugal. Motor cars as yet show no signs of being used In Portugal. Last year only twenty were imported, of which eighteen were French, one English and one German.

They shall be prop er to eat. It can be supply without putridity for several years." London’s Army of Horses. In a recent paper on "Electric Auto mobiles," read before the Institution of Civil Engineers, Mr. H. F. Joel stated that in London alone there were over 16,000 licensed horse-carriages, apart from prlvato vehicles, trades men’s vans, etc., and it was estimated that over 200,000 horses were stabled each night in London, necessitating the daily removal of more than 5,000 tons of manure and refuse. One Point of View. “I am very much afraid that you do not appreciate the spirit of a free country," “Oh, yes I do,” answered the man who had recently landed in New York, in a dialect which it is needless to reproduce. “What do you understand by a free country?’’ “It is a place where you are free to do as you choose if you manage to get on the police force.” 0 ISOS ky Ctttitr’t U'nHy.
