CHANGING SrEP-Nilo has not seen an
awkward couple wa.kin. arm in arm
whose tailue TO keep step" results in :nu
tual misery Occasionally, by accident
they fall into keeping step for a while.
and for time they move harmouiously
and happily with graceful identity of mo
ton. But, tor the most part, their pro
gress consists of a ludicrous ioGglety jerk,
se; r!ul!y trying to comfort and temper.
This Is but Il mere type and illustration Of
the discomfort which some men endure
through life, for the simple want Of not
knowing when To change step" For
example. a man marsies Ills wife Is in
almost everything a fit help mate. but she
has, and who has not, her little infirmitics.
As long as they jog along life's road in
the double harness oil matriGaonv, - keen
ing step, they are happy and comfortable;
suddenly some little eccentIicity, a foible
in one or the other, intcrferes with the
pleasant concert, there is annoyance and
confusion. They have lost step Now,
friend is the time to change step Don't
stuhbOrnly truLge, trudge along at your
own pace, but skilfully, for the moment
humor yeur yoke fellow change step
You Will soon find, by transition so
easy as to be unnoticed, that both have
returned to the original aud natural order
of march, and YOU have escaped one Of

WHITE LABOR SCARCE
W e are III a fair way to learn whether
white labor can be successfully used upon
