retire from private life.

    It is now a still more popular resort for Americans suffering from thirst.

    Though next door neighbours and rivals in business and, what is still more trying, near relatives, Canada and the United States are the best of friends.

    For over a hundred years there has not been so much as a picket-fence or a policeman, much less a patrol or a

    fortification, on the border line between the two countries.

    Canada has not, like her sister Columbia, “severed home ties”; she is perfectly happy under the parental roof, earns her own living, has a latch key and stays out as late as she pleases and has never been able to understand “why girls leave home.”

    Though differing in many respects, the United States and Canada have so much in common and are so nearly of the same age and size that, in any musical comedy of Nations, the two might easily pass for a “sister turn.”

    The inhabitants of Canada are the most Moral and Patriotic people in the World, and their army is second to none in bravery and won the World War.

     GREAT BRITAIN

    If you look carefully under the upper left hand corner of the map of Europe, you will find a small pink island no bigger than the state of Idaho.

    But a Country must not be judged by its size.

    The Planet Jupiter is twelve times as large as this Giddy Globe of ours, and has eight private moons of its own, but for all that Jupiter is not a desirable spot for Lovers, being for the most part molten, and somewhat spotty.

    This little Pink Island is Great Britain, the little mother of one-fourth of all the countries of the Globe, including the United States.
