"The output in the first quarter this year was at the rate of
248,000,000 million tons a year. It fell in the second quarter
to 232,000,000. Between and beyond these lines there is an
ample margin for bargaining."

Abundantly ample.

LESSONS FROM NATURE.
TO AN AUTUMN PRIMROSE.
"If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature's holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?"
_Wordsworth._
Symbol of innocence, to Tories dear,
Whom I detect beside the silvan path
Doing your second time on earth this year
That I may cull a generous aftermath,
Let me divine your reason
For thus repullulating out of season.
Associated with the vernal prime
And widely known as "rathe," why bloom so late?
Was it the lure of so-called "Summer-time,"
Extended well beyond the usual date?
Our thanks for which reprieve
Are SMILLIE'S, though they didn't ask his leave.
