risks; for the truth is, experience en-
courages this embryo company to believe
that the people can be as easily gulled

action will set in to show past experience
to have been avery bad guide in such

already attracting the attention of the

spread Of the light is laying bare the
studied villanies of monopoly in way
that must, in the end, lead to their abo-

Organization is Rexo1ut,on.

Organization presents front before
which monopolistic. rascality will turn
pale and lay down its usurpations.
To take. steps leading to this result,
and to decide wisely what those steps
shall be, is the first work to be done.
The tremendous, the unconquerable {
and overwhelming opponent to monop-
oily is labor. Immediately connected
with the uprise of labor is woman, with
all her hopes and her future destiny. In
the field of labor she stands to-day as
mans competitor He must either raise
her as he raises himself, or consent to be
enslaved with her. a..
Thus forces are massing themselves
for her emancipation.
All this is in the air, and yet political
scoundrels, the destroyers of the peoples
rights and the usurpers of the peoples
bread and homes, sleep on and do not
know it.
The whole world slumbers like some
Alpine village beneath the avalanche of
new and awful dispensation, and will
not look aloft to see the moving mass.

In strict truth, I love him, too; but ia

better and wiser to seek with all my

necessity of organizing for their own

emancipation to the inevitable law Of

The Bad Bow.

From Peck's Sun.
. "Well, you are the meanest boy ever
heard, said the grocery man. "But what
about your pas dancing a clog dance in
church Sunday? The minister's hired
girl was in here after some Goldfish yes
terday morning, and she said the minis
ter said your pa had: scandalized the
worst way"
"Oh, he didn't dance in church. He
was little excited that's all. You see,,
pa chews tobacco, and it's pretty hard
on him to sit all through the sermon
without taking chew, and he gets ner-
vous. He always reaches around to his
pistol pocket when they stand up to sing
the last time, and feels in his tobacco
box and gets out chew, and puts it in
his mouth when the minister pronounces
the benediction. He always does that.
Well, my chum had a present of music
box, just about as big as pas tobacco
box, and all you have to do is to touch a
spring a nd it plays She's a Daisy, She's
Dumpling.' 1 borrowed it and put it
in pas pistol pocket, where he keeps his
tobacco box, and when the choir got
most through singing pa reached his
hand in his pocket and began to tumble
around for chew. He. touched the
spring, and just as everybody bowed
their heads to receive the benedictlon,
and it was SO still you could hear gum
drop, the music box began to play, and
in the stiffness it sounded as loud as
church organ. Well, I thought ma
would sink. The minister heard it, and
he looked toward pa, and everybody
looked at pa, too, and pa turned red, and
the music box kept up, She's Daisy
and the minister looked mad and said
Amen and people began to put on
their coats, and the minister told the
deacon I'd hunt up the source of that
worldly music, and they took pa in the
room back of the pulpit and searched
him, and ma says pa will have to be
churched.I They kept the music box,
and / have got to carry in coal to get
money enough to buy my chum new
