There are some’people n ;tr town,
Who think they know it all :
And they seldom trade at Ashton.

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

one German. The bicycle trade is

were imported in twelve months—222
from the United States, 151 from
France and 35 from the United King
dom. The population of Portugal ia
about the same as that of London.

the directions translated into English
as follows: “Direction—If several
person will be to eat this in that man
ner they shall feel satisfied nutrition
and very sweet or it can put in the
hot water for the half hour and then
take off the lid. 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.”
