She restoreth my pocketbook after she has spent all its contents on hobble skirts and theatre tickets, and she leadeth me up the main aisle of church for her new hat's sake.

She prepareth a cold snack for me, then maketh a bee-line for an aid supper. She anointh my head with the rolling pin oc casionally. My arms runneth over with bundles before she is half done with her shopping. Surely her dressmaker and millinery bills shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell forever in the house of my wife' amen. I sure enjoyod reading Mr. I.

Labor, by Samuel Gompers and others authorized to speak for it submits to the American people its analyses of the Republican and Democratic platforms. Con cluding, it says in summarizing, It is but fair to say that the Democratic platform marks a measure of progress not found in the platform of the Repub lican party in relation to labor proposals. "The planks written into the the Democratic platform more nearly approximate the desired declarations of human rights than do the planks found in the, Republican platform. "Labor in America is not par tisan to any political party. It is partisan to principles, the prin ciples of justice and freedom. It undertakes neither to dictate nor control the choice of the workers or the citizenship gennerally for which party or candidates they should vote, but it would be a palpable dereliction of duty did we fail to place the facts before the voters of our country upon the records of both parties and their respective candidates for public office. l -- 9 i 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 a 51 a HOOFING Asphalt, Gravel, Rubber, Galvanized and Painted.

Hayes, Cleveland la bor leader, as its Presidential and Vice Presidential nominee, respectively. But the strength of the n ew government remains to be seen.
