\ man built house worth
$4,000 st Andover, Mass, without
spending dollar. He bought all
the material on six months credit.
and at the end of that time refused
to pay. All the stuff was fast in the
house, which he had sold to his wife.
The labor was obtained on the same
plan, ard even the widow who
boarded the workman was swindled.
The man lives placidly in his fine
residence, but is not greatly loved
by his neighbors.
That sort of scheme for swind-
ing the workingman ONT of his just
dues may be considered perfectly
right and proper in Republican
Massachusetts, but it wouldn't work
'tworth a cent" in Democratic
Louisiana, where the mantle of the
law protects the workingman, for
the reason that "the labSres is
worthy of his hire"

closed. No bell (save the Roman
Catholic) rings out the summons
for Gods redeemed people to come
and meet around the throne dedi-
Gated to His service and offer
thanks to the Savior, who died for
our sins, and arose for our justitica-
ton.
