MAN, VALUE OF A

Years ago a Mr. Campbell, a British subject, was held a prisoner

by Theodore, King of Abyssinia. England demanded his release,

sending an army of ten thousand men who marched seven hundred

miles, to Coomassie, and all at a cost of twenty-five million

dollars--just to rescue a single man. (Text.)
