THE DIFFERENCE
Tennyson and Longfellow could take a worthless!
sheet of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth $65,
0D0—that’s Genius. There are some men who can write
a few works on a sheet of paper and make it worth $6,000,- i
000——that’s Capital. The United States can take an ounce
and a quarter of gold, stamp upon it an "eagle bird” (even1
with bloomers) and make it worth $20.—that’s Money.!
A mechanic can take material worth $5 and make it into
watch springs worth $1,000—that’s Skill. There is a man,
in St. Louis who can take a 50-cent piece of canvas, paint
a picture on it and make it worth several hundred dollars!
—that’s Art. A merchant can take an article worth 75!
cents and sell it for $1—that’s Business. A woman can
purchase a 75cent hat, but prefers one that costs $27—'
that’s Foolishness. A ditch digger works 10 hours a day j
and handles several tons of earth for $1.25—that’s Labor. I'
The author of this can write a check for $90,000,000, but1
it wouldn’t be worth a dime—that’s Tough.
Bv tracing genealogy back too far we might find an ,
ancestor swinging from the family tree by his tail. ,
