one of unusual interest; the Democratic
party is breaking up, and there are indica-

novel I'm our politics. The elections Of the
past year have resulted in almost an un-

counting-house, the office, the store and
the family. especially of business and culti-
waited classes. To hold this place will be
our constant effort.
