“Pa,” quoth .Sammie to his sire, “why 
don’t you go out West ?” “Why do you ask, 
my boy ?” Because Bill Higgins’ father went, 
and he struck a banana ?” “A bonanza, you 
mean, Sammie 1” “ Well, what’s the differ¬ 
ence ?” “ Why, when people strike a bonanza 
it sets them up, and when they strike a banana 
it sets them down—and very emplmticalty, 
too.”—Yonkers Gazette.

confidence as well as triumph; the answer 
FOR HAND OR POWER.
