SPECIMEN ILLUSTRATION FROM ARCHIBALD TH1 I \i €f)c XOozWg Crceti- THE WORLD believes the Enemy of Mankind maybe trusted to attend to his particular business of stir-ring up strife. It therefore seeks to promote peace on earthand good will among good tnen. THE WORLD believes that even the Moon has twosides. It therefore gives every honest man credit forsupposing himself to be right, no matter how wrong it mayhold him to be. THE WORLD believes that sufficient unto each dayare the roils thereof It therefore considers it quiteunnecessary to embitter existence to-day by fighting over thefights of yesterday. THE WORLD believes there was some sense in the oldsuperstition according to which every days fortunewas colored by the first objects seen in the morning. Ittherefore thinks that to lay on a mans breakfast table asheet full of unclean things, angry 7vords, personal squab-bles and political spites, is about as likely a way of pro-pitiating his good trill as to put spiders into his coffe
