Show Lessons From the Strike. An Old Country writer meditates thus : The following lessons were taught the residents In England by the recent raHway strike : Philosophy ; the value of humor; that there Is no place like home ; that places seem a long way off ; that money Is cheap ; that saccharine still exists ; that fine weather is a Jewel ; that we are argumentative argu-mentative ; that a bicycle adds to one's independence; that walking is dignified, digni-fied, and that scooting isn't; that roads were made before railways, and go to more places; that sweet negotiators negoti-ators are bitter fighters; that a motor car's capacity has nothing to do with the number of its seats; that It is a long strike that worries a schoolboy; that little was known of England's highways and byways; that there are more ways of getting to a place than flying; that we like to be companionable; companion-able; that few folks can state plain facts plainly; how well off we hnve really been since the war ended.
